Typhoon hit the country, particularly in the Bicol region the night of Christmas, bad timing for the very festive mood that the Christmas season brings. And for a place like the Bicolandia that is so used to such a calamity, that is not much of an issue.
But hey, a lot of our kapwa Uragon deserve to enjoy the merriment of Christmas and New Year, right?!

There is this saying, “good news comes in threes.”
So when we asked Vhong Navarro if sooner or later would we also hear him announce his engagement proposal, he smiled and said, “Wala namang pressure but who knows?”
After It’s Showtime co-hosts and good friends Anne Curtis and Billy Crawford announced their engagement to their loved ones, Vhong, Jhong Hilario and even Vice Ganda were also asked the same question.
While Vice kept his mum and Jhong related his love to his newfound career in politics (as Councilor in Makati City), Vhong quipped, ‘‘Everything will have its perfect timing. I am so happy for my brother and sister Billy and Anne, but I believe dumating na yung right timing for them. Maganda yung moment sa kanila at ibigay natin yun.”
The very good host-dancer-actor also reveals that if ever he’d ask Tanya Bautista, an ABS-CBN employee, for a marriage, “I will make sure, siya na talaga ang last. For now kasi, medyo madami pa akong mga bagahe na dapat ayusin. Dun (marriage) din naman kami pupunta dahil ramdam ko naman na siya na talaga. Maghahanap pa ba ako ng iba eh sa dami ng pinagdaanan naming hirap at dusa, siya lagi ang nasa tabi at karamay ko?”
His previous marriage to Bianca Lapus, a former Star Magic artist was annulled in 2010.
For now, Vhong is busy promoting his movie Mang Kepweng Returns, his supposed New Year treat to his fans and supporters.
It will hit the theaters on Jan. 4 with Kim Domingo, Jaclyn Jose, Louise Delos Reyes, Sunshine Cruz, Juancho Triviño, James Blanco, Pen Medina, Valeen Montenegro, Jhong Hilario, Jackie Rice, Jobert Austria, Alex Calleja, Balang, Josh de Guzman, Chun Sa, Tuko, and a lot more.
Mang Kepweng Returns is directed by the good-looking friend of ours, GB San Pedro, under Cineko Productions and Viva Films.

Hmmm, here’s a blind item welcome for 2017.
Can you guess this very good singer, in fact a singing diva who belongs to a group of “biriteras”, who allegedly says “yes” to every singing engagement that comes her way, even if it means bumping off her co-artists?
Wheww! According to our ka-chismacker source, this singing diva practically had a daily engagement even before the big Christmas day came.
At one time, she was hopping from one place to another and at another time she was seen overdressed for another event.
Said our source, “Perhaps she did not have time to change her wardrobe, so when she arrived at an open air gym where she was invited to sing, she was still wearing her posh-hotel outfit, while everybody was in his/her casual sporty costumes, ha ha ha!”
We understand that she’s in “dire need” for more shows and money and will commit to every event despite the heavy traffic in the metropolis (wonder woman effect to combat those huh!), but the more nagging item here according to the same source, “Ay yung hinaharang niya ang inquiry para sana sa mga kasamahan niya. Siya itong laging nagpiprisinta ng sarili niya. (she mediates in every transaction and presents herself even if such an inquiry wasn’t for her).
Well…what do we call that? Go and guess before she belts out “ouch and hello” by Adelle ha ha ha ha!
Happy New Year to us all!
