She is in her 30's梖un, fearless, and fabulous. She conquers whichever stage or set she stands on. She commands attention. She gets your admiration. She is beautiful. She is an idol. She is Mom. PEP (Philippine Entertainement Portal) pays tribute to remarkable young moms who juggle family and show business, yet still manage to look fabulous!
Here they are, in no particular order.
KRIS AQUINO, 36. After giving birth in March, Kris gave up GAME KNB? and The Buzz to have more free time with her two boys桱oshua, fathered by actor Philip Salvador, and Baby James, fathered by her husband James Yap. She is seen on TV five times a week梚n the morning talk show Boy & Kris and the evening game show Kapamilya Deal or No Deal. Plus, she is regularly spotted in TV commercials and on billboards for Facial Care Center, Maggi Sinigang Mix, Bench, Magnolia Nutri-Oil, and Pampers. On top of these are her business ventures outside of showbiz. She co-owns a restaurant (with showbiz friends), a flower shop (with Boy Abunda), and a communications firm called MAD (in partnership with Boy Abunda, former advertising creative director Nonon del Carmen, and lawyer Agnes Maranan).
But the youngest daughter of former President Cory Aquino knows her priorities. "My one focus is to be the best mom I can possibly be to Josh and his baby brother," Kris says in a statement she released after giving birth to James. She adds, "At the end of the day, after all has been said and done, my ability to give them good lives is what matters most. |

Con't :Part 2
LUCY TORRES, 33. Before entering showbiz, Lucy Torres was a simple girl from a well-to-do family in Leyte. Things changed for Lucy when she came to Manila to star in a shampoo commercial, where she met Richard Gomez. The two fell in love and got married in 1998. Two years later, Lucy gave birth to Juliana Marie Beatriz. Many expected that she would remain a dutiful homemaker to the two most important people in her life, but the opportunities to be part of showbiz kept on knocking Mrs. Gomez's door. She said no to acting, but gave hosting a nod. Since then, she made it a point that her TV engagements would not take so much of her time away from home. This gorgeous lady admitted that she takes her roles as mother and wife seriously.
"With the privilege of being a wife and a mother comes duty and responsibility; and love fuels it. There is nothing basta-basta about it. Being a homemaker is a noble task," she said in the September 2006 issue of Marie Claire magazine. Now, the fair-skinned angelic beauty plays the Virgin Mary in Mga Mata ni Anghelita and hosts The Sweet Life on QTV11. She also has a newspaper column titled Love Lucy.
DONITA ROSE, 33. Donita Rose Cavett, a Filipino-American, went to the set of That's Entertainment as an audience member. She was approached by Romnick Sarmenta to join the cast, and the rest is history. In the late '90s, Donita became famous as a VJ (video jock) for MTV Asia, one of the most in-demand leading ladies for movies, and a most sought-after product endorser. She took a break from her shining career to focus on her family. Now, Donita is a loving wife to Erick Villarama and mother to her son J.P. She currently co-hosts Umagang Kay Ganda.
GRETCHEN BARRETTO, 37. Since Gretchen Barretto announced her showbiz comeback last year, she had been a controversy magnet. And through it all, her partner Tonyboy Cojuangco and daughter Dominique stayed by her side. She once said in her interview with a fashion magazine, "When I'm home. I feel safe." So how's a day in the life of Gretchen? The glamorous mom brings her daughter to school in the morning, then fetches her in the afternoon. Come night time, she cooks and bakes for the family. And she ends her day exchanging tight hugs with Tony. "It's priceless," says La Greta, her popular name among showbiz friends, to ShowbizPinoy.com. She briefly stayed away from the limelight when the "kisscandal" with John Estrada erupted on the news. She recently emerged again梞ore beautiful than ever. She now sports a new hairdo, a la Victoria Beckham!
LEA SALONGA, 36. Maria Lea Carmen Imutan Salonga released her first album at 10 years old. She has since penetrated Broadway, starring in Miss Saigon and Les Miserables, and performed for two American presidents and Queen Elizabeth II. She also played the singing voice of Princess Jasmine in Aladdin and of Mulan for the Disney movie with the same name. At home, she is simply "Mom" to Nicole Beverly and wife to Robert Chien. When asked how she balances her Broadway career and family life, Leah said in her interview with Catholic Digest, "My baby is a gift, but my gift from God is a gift, too, so I have to take care of both, and not let one atrophy because of the other. |

03:00 PM
"Nagtataka lang po ako dahil wala naman talagang katotohanan 憏on. Totoo pong close kami ni John, pero as a friend at kasama sa trabaho," reacts Shaina Magdayao to a write-up saying that she and John Prats have been on for four months.
Noel Orsal
Nag-react si Shaina Magdayao sa naisulat ng isang entertainment writer na pinaninindigan niya na four months na ang relasyon ng young actress at ni John Prats.
"Hindi po totoo and I will also stand by that, by what I've said," mariing sabi ni Shaina sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) sa pictorial ng cast ng pelikulang Bahay Kubo sa Valencia Studio ng Regal Entertainment yesterday afternoon, September 16.
Dagdag pa ng young actress, "Nagtataka lang po ako dahil wala naman talagang katotohanan 憏on. Totoo pong close kami ni John, pero as a friend at kasama sa trabaho."
Pero bakit hindi mamatay-matay ang issue sa kanila ni John?
"Siguro po, naaalala na naman nila dahil sa [pregnancy] issue kay Camille [Prats], friend ko po kasi siya. Pero hindi po talaga nanliligaw sa akin si John. Hindi po ako nagagalit sa nagsulat, pero hindi po talaga totoo ang isinulat niya," sabi ni Shaina.
So, si Rayver Cruz lang talaga ang nanliligaw talaga sa kanya at wala nang iba?
"Yes po, si Rayver," pag-amin ng dalaga. "Kung meron man pong iba, non-showbiz po sila. Pero si Rayver talaga ang pursigidong ligawan ako, simula noong payagan ako ng parents ko at ni Ate Vina [Morales] na puwede na akong ligawan. Napakatiyaga po niya, umaakyat siya ng ligaw sa akin sa bahay namin, kahit manggaling pa siya sa kanila sa Las Pi馻s."
Totoo ba na gusto nang pumunta ni Rayver sa United States para doon mag-aral dahil broken-hearted ito sa kanya?
"Wala po akong alam na pupunta siya sa States," sagot ni Shaina. "In fact, may sisimulan po siyang bagong show, ang Bagets. Siya po yata ang gaganap sa role ni Kuya Aga [Muhlach]."
Nabanggit na rin lang niya ang Ate Vina niya, how true na nagpaalam na ito sa ASAP |

Contentment makes for Jean Garcia抯 youngish-look
When she remembered she has had no love life for two years already, seasoned actress Jean Garcia said in a mock scream that she can抰 take it anymore.
She met a select group of entertainment writers during her birthday spa party hosted by Bioessence.
Of course the actress was just making fun of her single life. Yet Jean抯 glow and youngish look may be miscontrued as coming from having a boyfriend when in fact it is not. If ever, she related that it could be because she has always been happy about her life and contented.
"I don抰 go to the gym. But I guess what makes me happy is my family and especially my daughter. Jennica is doing well now and that抯 one the things that uplifts me. Siyempre I抦 a proud mother," said the actress who抯 been dating nonshowbiz personalities but has yet to find the right man for her.
She also pointed out to her friends and family in showbiz to the things that make her happy. She抯 touched by the gesture of Bioessence to throw her a Spa party at its newest branch in Fox Square I Connecticut, Greenhills, wherein her guests were treated to free spa services last Sept. 8. She also renewed her one year contract with Bioessence as its celebrity endorser or image model on her party.
"Sobrang maalaga talaga sila sa akin. I抣l be the image model of the whole shop and their products卪aganda kasi ang Bioessence kasi walang surgery and it抯 all natural匢 always have my facials, body scrub which is my favorite and milk bath with them," she shared.
She added that she抯 thrilled to renew her contract and be part of the Bioessence family. She抯 also grateful to Dr. Emma Guerrero and her entire staff for taking care of her all the time.
As for Dr. Guerrero, she only has good words for her endorser.
"Jean抯 such a gracious woman. We have enjoyed a long and fruitful partnership with her. In spite of the competition from other establishments, our sales remain constantly high. We attribute this to Jean抯 appeal and drawing power."
Since it opened in 1994, Bioessence has now 20 branches nationwide. Some of the popular treatments available are its Oxygen Facial Treatment and Miracle Anti-Aging Treatment and various spa treatments like Queen of Sheba抯 Milk Bath, Hand Spa, Body scrub and Aromatic foot spa. It will soon have its European Facial spa.
Turning 38 last Aug. 22, her wish is for more jobs or projects to come and not love life.
"Pag lovelife laging may problem, ayaw ko ng mag-alaga," laughed Jean. "Mas maganda pag mas marami trabaho."
Jean is in GMA 7抯 primetime drama series "Impostora" right now. According to her, there抯 already another TV project in the works for her. She抯 also bound to work in Regal Entertainment抯 "Hide & Seek" under Rahyan Carlos with her daughter Jennica Garcia

"I don't have anything against sa pagpapaseksi or anything, pero hindi ko pa na-imagine ang sarili ko on that aspect," Bea Alonzo candidly said during an interview with Hi!. Her good friend, Angelica Panganiban, on the other hand, thinks that Bea has what it takes to go daring.
Hi! Magazine : Bea Alonzo talks to "Hi!" magazine about going sexy
Michael Ancheta
Friday, September 21, 2007
11:39 PM
Does Bea Alonzo think about doing an Angelica Panganiban?
"As of now, hindi ko po alam, pero ayoko rin po magsalita ng tapos. Hindi ko rin po alam if kaya ko kasi I don't find myself naman po na seksi, e. Unlike Angel [Angelica], she's so sexy at daring talaga," said Bea in an exclusive interview with Hi! magazine.
The idea about Bea's going sexy stems from the fact that people notice the drastic change in Bea's figure.
"Naku, kinarir ko po talaga ang pagda-diet. I watch what I eat. Alam ninyo naman po na ever since I started, talagang hirap ako magpapayat so this time, I decided na dapat tuloy-tuloy na," she proudly shared.
Bea added that it took her months to shed off those excess pounds.
She also talked about her platonic relationship with perennial on-screen partner, John Lloyd Cruz.
"We were not close ni Lloydie before, pero sa tagal na rin naming magkasama sa trabaho, sobrang comfortable na kami sa isa't isa," said the young actress.
As far as the real-love angle goes, Bea had this to say: "Mahirap din kasi na maging more than friends kasi baka maapektuhan din ang work namin, so better na we are really good friends."
Angelica Panganiban asserted that Bea has all the right to go sexy if she chooses. "Why not, 慸i ba?" smiled Angelica.
"Naglolokahan nga kami during pictorial. Tinuturuan ko siya kung paano mag-pose for men's magazine pictorial and all," she laughed.
