Anja Aguilar bagong pasisikatin ng Viva!

Bet na bet ni Boss Vic del Rosario ang bagong alaga nila na si Anja Aguilar. “Itataya ko ang pa­ngalan ko rito,” sabi ni Boss Vic.

Potential multi media superstar ang ‘prediction’ ng big boss ng Viva Group of Companies kay Anja na champion sa Little Big Star, ang dating singing contest para sa mga bata sa ABS-CBN, hosted by Sarah Geronimo.

“Hindi ko sasayangin ang oras ko rito kung wala akong nakikitang potential sa kanya. Sa kantahan, kayo na ang mag-judge. Ang galing. Sa aktingan, subok na ‘yan, mga walong beses na siyang nag-guest sa Maalaala Mo Kaya,” katuwiran ni Boss Vic na kilalang may ‘third eye’ pagdating sa mga kung sino ang sisikat at hindi.

Bata pa lang ay suki na rin si Anja sa mga singing contest kung saan-saang barangay kaya naman hasang-hasa na ang boses niya.

Hanggang manalo nga siya sa Little Big Star. Pumasok sa AMA Compu­ter School bilang scholar na part ng premyo niya bilang winner sa nasabing singing­ contest sa TV na pinagmulan din ni Sam Concepcion, hanggang ipinakilala ng taga-AMA kay Boss Vic.

“Nakita kong paano siya kumanta kaya nga nasa ASAP na siya,” dagdag ni Boss Vic na pinaka-in demand na manager sa kasalukuyan bilang galing sa kanilang kumpanya ang malalaking artista sa kasalukuyan tulad nina Sarah Geronimo, Anne Curtis, at marami pang iba.

Kaya naman agad siyang binigyan ng solo album ng Viva na magkakaroon ng launching next week.

Karamihan sa 10 kantang kasama sa kanyang self titled album ay original. Kasama sa mga nagsulat ng mga kanta sina Vehnne Saturno at ang hitmaker na si Christian Martinez.

May sampung kanta sa album – To Reach You, I Love You, Nasaan ang Pangako, When, ‘Di Bale na Lang, Ako Pasa Sa ‘Yo, Magic of Love, Ako, I Love You (Minus One), and To Reach You (minus One).

Carrier single ang To Reach You na madalas marinig sa mga FM radio station.

Nineteen years old lang si Anja.

Direk Wenn's comedic genius at work in Moron 5 and a Crying Lady!

Only box-office director and comedic genius Wenn Deramas could cook up a movie like this.

In Moron 5 and a Crying Lady, co-produced by Viva Films and MVP Pictures, direk Wenn is back in tip-top form, putting in harness his creative (yes, wacky!) mind that has produced blockbuster comedies like Petrang Kabayo and Praybeyt Benjamin.

Despite its title (that might be inspired by the popular band whose name sounds like it), the movie is hardly a musical.

Scripted by Mel del Rosario, Moron 5 and a Crying Lady is about five half-witted friends happily going with the flow of life until they are wrongly accused of killing the father of a Crying Lady.

Playing the Moron 5 are Luis Manzano, Billy Crawford, Marvin Agustin, Martin Escudero and DJ Durano, with John “Sweet” Lapus as the Crying Lady.

The five friends are aptly named: Luis plays Albert (Einstein?), Billy is Isaac (Newton?), Marvin is Aristotle (you know who), Martin is Michaelangelo (yes, “the one”) and DJ is Mozart (who else but “him”!).

Moron 5 is the first movie together of buddies Luis and Billy who have proven their mettle as TV hosts (Pilipinas Got Talent, etc.) and, they agreed, “We had fun from the start of the shoot to the finish.” It’s Billy’s first time to act in a comedy film and, although he’s more known as a singer, he said he realized that he could be a good actor. He’s set to leave for Europe to resume his rudely-interrupted career as a pop star there and might be back in July.

Luis has worked with direk Wenn, perhaps the only director who succeeded in making Luis bare his butt (in Who’s That Girl, with Anne Curtis as leading lady).

“This movie can draw more laughs than my previous movies ever did,” said direk Wenn.

In one scene, the Moron 5 does a macho dance. In another, during their escape from prison, they disguise themselves as Madame Auring (Billy), a Bombay 5-6 lender (Marvin), an old driver (Luis), a taho vendor (DJ) and a BB Gandanghari-type (Martin).

Moron 5 and a Crying Lady is a great upper after the gloom of Lent, opening in more than 100 theaters nationwide on Black Saturday, April 7.

Eugene Domingo says 'Kimmy Dora 2' is halfway done!

Award-winning actress Eugene Domingo is thrilled with the progress of the shoot for the sequel of her smash hit movie "Kimmy Dora."

In an interview during the Gawad Tanglaw awarding ceremonies, Domingo said the filming for "Kimmy Dora and the Temple of Kyeme," the second installment in her starrer series, is halfway done.

"Nangangalahati na kami, at nakapanood na kami ng kaunting mga rushes and we are very, very happy," she said. "We are very excited. It think it's worth the wait. Abangan po ninyo. Ang sarap gawin. Tamang tama ang pagbabalik."

Parts of "Kimmy Dora" were previously shot in Korea. Movie director Joyce Bernal had earlier said that the much-awaited sequel will be a horror-comedy film.

‘I Do Bidoo Bidoo’

Domingo is also excited for the mid-year release of musical film “I Do Bidoo Bidoo,” where she will star with singer Ogie Alcasid.

“Kwelang-kwela at kengkoy na kengkoy kami ni Ogie Alcasid. My God, he’s so talented. Hindi ko talaga masisisi si Songbird (Regine Velasquez-Alcasid) bakit siya nahumaling dun kay Ogie Alcasid eh,” she said.

“Talaga naman kay liit-liit na tao, ang husay-husay. At saka nakakatuwa kasama – isa ‘yun sa mga aabangan niyo sa ‘I Do Bidoo Bidoo’ from Unitel, ang musical movie featuring all the popular songs of Apo Hiking Society.”

Best actress

“I Do Bidoo Bidoo” won’t be Domingo’s first foray into doing a musical on the big screen. She previously sang in parts of critically acclaimed film “Ang Babae sa Septic Tank,” for which she won the best actress trophy from award-giving body Gawad Tanglaw.

“Ang lapit-lapit nila sa puso ko (Gawad Tanglaw), kasi dito po ako unang nabigyan ng medalya bilang best supporting actress sa pelikulang ‘Pisay’ at ‘Foster Child.’ Naka-tie ko yung sarili ko,” she said.

“At ngayon binigyan naman nila ako ng recognition bilang best actress para sa ‘Babae sa Septic Tank’ for their 10th year. I won’t miss it for the world.”

Mocha Girls 'proud' to wear flag in music video!

Sexy all-female group Mocha Girls said that Filipinos should be proud of performers who wear the Philippine flag as an outfit, as this is a symbol of national pride and is not disrespectful towards the tri-color identity of the country.

The Mocha Girls, in their new music video for the song “Pinay Ako,” will be shown wearing outfits inspired by the Philippine flag. Lead performer Mocha Uson said their flag-inspired get-up symbolizes being a “modern Filipina.”

“’Yung aming concept kasi is being proud as a Filipina and siguro ang pinakamagandang simbulo po nu'n is ‘yung flag ng Philippines, kaya proud po kami na binabandera namin 'yung bandila natin,” Uson said in a press interview for their new album.

“And sa tingin ko kami ‘yung modern Filipina, ‘yun bang matapang, open-minded, wise, tapos may sariling pagiisip. ‘Yun 'yung modern Filipina.”

Uson also said that the girl group does not want to offend anyone. On the contrary, featuring the flag in the music video is a way of making it “international.”

“Wala naman kaming gusto i-offend sa gagawin namin. Gusto lang namin maging maganda ‘yung music video, maging international ang dating niya, and para maging international siya kailangan talagang gamitin 'yung simbolo ng flag nating mga Filipino,” she said.

This is also the group’s way of making a connection with Filipinos abroad, as the music video is also intended for international release.

“Kasi 'pag makita po ito ng kapwa natin Pilipino abroad, magiging proud sila na we represent, may association, may belongingness, tulad ni Manny Pacquiao, ‘Uy, Pinoy siya, Pinoy din kami.’”

On the possibility of clashing with nationalist organizations and the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, Uson said this is merely the group’s way of promoting the country.

“Bakit naman natin ipagdadamot ang flag? Pilipino rin kami, amin rin naman ‘yan. Dito kami pinanganak and dapat nga proud tayo kung sino man gagamit ng Philippine flag para maingat ‘yung bansa, being Pinay.”

The group’s advocacy of “being Pinay,” Uson re-affirmed, will be the central theme of the music video.

“Proud lang po kami na gamitin ito (Philippine flag) sa song namin na ‘Pinay Ako’ to represent all the Filipinas around the world,” Uson said.

“Kasi open-minded na po ang mga Pinay ngayon, ‘di lang po sunud-sunuran sa naririnig namin. Kami we represent the modern Pinay na matapang, may paninindigan at pinangangalagaan ‘yung katawan kaya kami sexy, pero ‘yung honor para sa amin na magamit yung flag na nasa Pilipinas.”

Al Galang admits he wrote a love letter for Dr. Vicki Belo!

Kahapon ay nagpaunlak ng panayam sa The Buzz si Al Galang, ang yoga instructor ni Dr.Vicki Belo na iniuugnay ngayon sa kanya. Sinagot naman lahat ng kontrobersyal na former model ang mga intriga ipinupukol sa kanya.

Unang itinanong kay Al ay ang isyu kung may relasyon ba sila ni Vicki matapos sabihin ng dating boyfriend ng doktora na si Hayden Kho na hindi siya dapat ang kinukuwestyon pagdating sa katapatan. Nauna kasing inakusahan ni Dr. Vicki si Hayden ng infidelity nang sabihin niya sa kanyang Twitter account na nagdi-date umano sina Hayden at Nancy Castiglione. Inilabas din ni Hayden sa kanyang Twitter ang link kung saan may scan ng love-letter diumano ni Al kay Vicki. “Vicki and I do not have a romantic relationship, I’d like to clarify that. We’re both single, I’m single, she’s probably single, there really is no relationship right now,” ani Al.

Mabilis namang umamin si Al na talagang may pagtingin siya sa doktora. “Of course. You can’t help but feel intrigued or attracted to someone as attractive as funny and smart (as Vicki).” Tinanong Si Al ng The Buzz host na si Boy Abunda kung interesado ba siyang ligawan si Vicki pero sabi nito wala pa naman daw sa puntong nililigawan na niya si Vicki. “Because she’s single and not ready to mingle,” paliwanag pa ni Al. At sa tanong kung gugustuhin ba niyang ligawan, sabi ni Al ay ‘complete package’ naman daw si Vicki. “I sure could. She’s the kind of girl I would like. Again, she’s a complete package of anything.”

Sinagot din ng yoga instructor ang isyung ginagamit lang daw niya si Vicki para sumikat at magkaroon ng pagkakataon upang mapasok ang showbiz. “That would be a stupid gimmick because I have no interest of joining showbiz,” sagot niya. “Maybe the time before (I entertained the idea). I wanted to be somewhere (so) I did radio, I did modeling. But that was five, six years ago, and the idea was nice and I realized ang daming talentedna tao sa Pilipinas. Everybody is so beautiful…the actors, they’re so talented. Everybody can sing, I can’t even speak Tagalog. I let showbiz go and do what I do. I love what I do, I make software, I teach yoga, I have a studio.”

Alam din daw ni Vicki ang paglabas niya sa The Buzz dahil kinonsulta muna raw niya ito bago siya umoo sa paanyaya ng programa. “I asked her before in passing, ‘Are you (comfy) talking about this because everybody’s bothering you,’ and she’s cool with it.”

Hindi rin daw siya nabagabag nang isangkot siya ni Hayden sa issue. Aniya pa, nauunawaan daw niya ang reaksyon ni Hayden na idamay siya sa isyu dahil sa pinagdadaanan nito na siya namang nagbunsod ng pagkalat ng isyu. Nagkakilala na raw sila noon ni Hayden at sa katunayan ay nagkapalitan pa ng cellphone numbers.

Inako rin ni Al na sinulat niya ang “love-letter” para kay Vicki. Subalit pagtatanggol niya, “I did write that. It’s sort of a fun, kind of crush letter thing. Back then, we had some flirting going on. No malice, walang tension and it just kinda faded there.” Tinawag rin niyang harmless flirting ang ginawa niyang liham para kay Vicki.

Nang magkomento si Boy na kung babasahin niya ang liham ay serious flirting ito, ang sagot naman dito ni Al, “I guess sometimes I can be kinda a flirt, but really nothing serious.” Dagdag pa niya, hindi raw sinuklian ni Vicki ang pagpi-flirt niya pero naging mabuting kaibigan sa kanya ang doktora at consistent ito. “We’re good. I’m a friend and I got her back and she knows that,” paglalarawan pa ni Al sa pagkakaibigan nila ni Vicki.

Sa ngayon supportive si Al sa pinagdadaanan ni Vicki at pinaparating niya rito na handa siyang making kung kakailanganin niya ito. Ang gusto muna niya ngayon para sa doktora ay makapag-move on. Naniniwala rin daw siya na tapos na ang relasyon nina Vicki at Hayden. Ang makahulugan pa niyang pahayag hinggil kay Vicki, “I think she’d be better off as an independent woman.”

Ruffa Gutierrez -Yilmaz Bektas marriage annulled!

Television host Ruffa Gutierrez is now officially single after her marriage to Turkish businessman Yilmaz Bektas has been annulled.

"The petition for the declaration of the nullity of marriage which we filed on behalf of our client, Ms. Ruffa Gutierrez, against her husband, Yilmaz Bektas, has finally been granted by the Regional Trial Court of Taguig City, declaring the same to be null and void under Article 36 of the Family Code last January 17, 2011," lawyers Howard Calleja and Connie Aquino of the Calleja Law Office, who served as Gutierrez' legal counsel, said in a statement sent to ABS-CBN News.

The custody of their two children, Lorin and Venice, was also awarded to Gutierrez.

In a taped episode of "Kris TV" aired on Friday, Gutierrez' mother Annabelle Rama said she is happy that her daughter is not in a romantic relationship right now.

"Career muna at sa mga bata. Ngayon, stop muna. Wala siyang boyfriend ngayon," Rama said. "Happy ako kasi mayroon siyang more time for her two children."

It was in 2007 when Gutierrez admitted that she and Bektas have parted ways. Rama said, however, that Lorin and Venice are still in contact with their father.

After Bektas, Gutierrez was romantically linked to actor John Lloyd Cruz, who is currently in a relationship with Shaina Magdayao.

Grace Lee stays, Angelicopter fired at Magic 89.9

The management of radio station Magic 89.9 clarified reports that Korean TV and radio personality Grace Lee, who's now seeing President Benigno Aquino III, is the reason DJ Angelicopter, the host of their program "Good Times," was fired.

In a statement posted on their official Facebook account, the station admitted that Lee and Angelicopter, or Angelika Schmeing-Cruz in real life, had a misunderstanding but stressed that Cruz's overall performance was the reason she was terminated from the radio show.

Magic 89.9 also stressed that it didn't favor Lee over Cruz.

"Recently, an article came out on Pep.PH which featured an interview with former Magic 89.9 jock Angelika 'Angelicopter' Schmeing-Cruz. In the article, it was alleged that it was a misunderstanding between her and 'Good Times' jock Grace Lee that caused her termination from the station. It is true that there was a misunderstanding between the two ladies," the statement said.

"Admittedly, conflicts happen between jocks in radio shows specially in a high pressured show like 'Good Times.' However, it was NOT the reason Mrs. Schmeing Cruz was terminated. Her attention has been called several times due to internal issues. It was a matter decided after an on going assessment of her overall performance.

Fil-Am Jessica Sanchez makes Top 24 of 'Idol'!

Another Filipina has made it to the Top 24 this year’s “American Idol.”

On Wednesday’s (Thursday morning in Manila) episode of the reality singing competition, Filipino-Mexican Jessica Sanchez was among the 14 contestants who made it to the Top 24.

The 16-year-old from Chula Vista, California was shown singing “The Prayer” by Josh Groban and Celine Dion during the auditions.

Netizens were ecstatic by the youngster’s talent.

Popular “Idol” blogger Rickey (www.rickey.org) wrote: “‘Idol’ just discovered the new Charice! Amazing! I’m so happy Filipino readers are going to support my blog again. Mabuhay!”

Twitter user Natalie Grant said: “OK - so I'm watching American Idol for the 1st time this season but this 16 year old Jessica Sanchez girl blows my mind. What a TALENT. Wow.”

Another Twitter user Q94jackson gushed: “She is the freaking winner !!! I'm sorry but she just made me cry and shiver and everything that music is suppose to do!”

The New York-based newspaper Newsday said Sanchez appears to be an early favorite to win the contest.

“Jessica Sanchez might be the favorite right now to win it all; you have to listen when she sings, something compelling about her powerful voice. She's also got complete control and a burning desire,” the newspaper wrote on Wednesday.

For the past several seasons, male contestants have always emerged on top. The last female “American Idol” winner was Jordin Sparks back in Season 6.

‘America’s Got Talent’

In a video posted on the “American Idol” website, Sanchez said she has wanted to join the contest since watching Kelly Clarkson win Season 1. Sanchez was only five years old at that time.

“I’ve been singing my whole life. My love for singing is what brought me here,” said Sanchez, who said Jennifer Hudson is her favorite “Idol” contestant.

Sanchez, who has been singing songs of Whitney Houston and Celine Dion since she was a little girl, said she likes R&B, urban and soul music,

“My tone is a lot different from the others,” she said, when asked what sets her apart from the other contestants.

This is not the first time Sanchez has joined a talent search. She was only 12 years old when she tried out for the first season of “America’s Got Talent.” Sanchez did not make it past the first voting round, and 11-year-old Bianca Ryan went on to win the show.

“I believe, I feel like I have something different,” Sanchez said in her “Idol” video. “I’m ready to bring it.”

Robles cut

This season of “Idol” also showcased another Filipino-American Ashley Robles, who was a standout at the San Diego auditions, where she sang Houston’s “I Will Always Love You.”

Robles, however, was cut during the Las Vegas rounds last week.

Also making it to the Top 24 were: Jen Hirsh, Haley Johnson, Elise Testone, Erika Van Pelt, Chelsea Sorrell, Baylie Brown, Brielle Von Hugel, Creighton Fraker, Joshua Ledet, Reed Grimm, Phil Phillips Jr., Collton Dixon and another Asian-American Heejun Han.

Basil gives vocals masterclass!

Basil Valdez has been singing for over 40 years. That is a really long time. Yet I am hard put to come up with names or the name of any young singer around who can equal, let alone surpass Basil’s tone, musicality and hitmaking capability. If you have somebody in mind then I would like very much to hear him sing, as he must be very special.

Basil’s singing continues to mesmerize. You always think you have had enough of him. Then you watch a show, likeSeasons of Love last week at The Newport Theater for the Performing Arts at Resorts World Manila, and you realize that he still sounds great and how much the audience loves his hit songs. And there are a lot of those enduring songs. Not only that, Basil has a new album out titled Basil S. Valdez. It is a big hit and the verdict is unanimous. As a singer, he is matchless.

Ryan Cayabyab, who composed and arranged many of Basil’s hit songs, among them Iduyan Mo, Nais Ko, Tuwing Umuulan At Kapiling Ka, Kahit Ika’y Panaginip Lang, must be thinking the same thing. In fact, he thinks so much of Basil as a singer that he has asked him to conduct a special class on singing. This is the Pop Vocal Performance Masterclass with Basil Valdez which will be held at The Music School of Ryan Cayabyab at Robinsons Galleria in Ortigas, Quezon City on Feb. 26, at 2 to 6 p.m.

Meanwhile, Basil is now going full blast into promoting his big-selling Basil S. Valdez CD. Fans can catch him in free shows at Eastwood City on Saturday, Feb. 25; at McKinley Heights on Friday, March 2; and at Trinoma in Quezon City on April 1. Catch him perform the songs from the album, Kanlungan, Ikaw Na Nga, Muntik Nang Maabot Ang Langit, Minsan Pa, Paano Na Kaya, Kung Ako Na Lang Sana, Hanggang, Ikaw, Sana’y Maghintay Ang Walang Hanggan and Pagdating Ng Panahon plus his greatest hits.

Meanwhile, Rama defended his son and lashed back at Montenegro.

“Hindi papatol ang anak ko sa walang name, laban ko ito... Wala naman sa idiot board ang pangalan niya,” she said.

Black Eyed Peas member Apl.d.ap is the newest endorser for San Miguel Pale Pilsen.

The Fil-Am rapper is currently in the country to shoot the the beer brand's newest commercial with actress-host Kris Aquino. The ad will air next month.

My visit this year is made more special by an endorsement deal with San Miguel Pale Pilsen, an iconic beer brand that I have known since I was small, a world-class product that I personally believe in," he said.

Apl said San Miguel will also help his "We Can Be Anything" campaign to build classrooms for poor children in his home province of Pampanga.

"There are a lot of kids in Pampanga that don't have computers or have enough money to go to school. Thank you for helping me out with that advocacy," he said in a press conference.

For her part, Aquino expressed her admiration for Apl for promoting the value of education among Filipinos.

"Thank you Apl for your support to my parents' foundation. You really are a good inspiration to all of us. Thank you for making our country proud with your music and with your heart for the less fortunate Filipino children. I am glad that you are also partnering with good-hearted companies to benefit more students," Aquino said.

In a press conference, San Miguel Brewery Inc. president Roberto Huang said the company is honored that Apl has accepted its endorsement offer.

"Kung ang San Miguel Pale Pilsen ay may sarap na 'di nagbabago, si Apl.d.ap ay may angking galing, talento at kagandahang loob na hindi nagbabago," Huang said.

MANILA, Philippines – Two witnesses claimed to have caught Hayden Kho and actress-singer Nancy Castiliogne kissing.
The witnesses told ABS-CBN News that Kho frequently visited Castiliogne at her office in Makati.
On several occasions, the witnesses said the two were seen hiding in the fire escape.
“Nakita ko si Hayden Kho at saka si Nancy, Na-shock sila na ‘di mo malaman. Gulat na gulat sila,” the witness said. “Sabi ko doon sa kasama ko, tingnan nyo sina Hayden at Nancy… Noong bumaba yung kasama ko tinanong ko kung ano nakita niya. Sabi ng kasama ko naghahalikan daw.”
Another employee in the building confirmed the statement.
“Dalawa ang nakakita, actual nila nakita naghahalikan,” the other witness said.
The witnesses declined to appear for the camera for fear that they may lose their jobs.
Kho and Castiliogne have both denied that they are having an affair.
“And about Nancy, it’s also not true that we were dating or were having an affair. I hope this clears her name and my name as well,” Kho said on Twitter before deciding to quit the microblogging site.
But celebrity doctor Vicki Belo had said she believes the rumors of Kho’s affair with the actress are true.

Wala sa hitsura dahil gym buff, sikat na aktor parang mauubusan ng hininga kapag inaatake ng hika

Ako ang nag-worry sa kalusugan ng isang sikat na aktor dahil nakakaloka kapag sinusumpong siya ng hika.

Hirap na hirap magsalita ang aktor at parang nauubusan siya ng hininga sa tuwing umaatake ang kanyang karamdaman.

Walang-wala sa physical appearance ng aktor na may asthma siya dahil maganda ang kanyang pangangatawan. Regular din ang pagpunta niya sa gym para mag-exercise pero sinusumpong pa rin siya ng kanyang sakit.

Nadia Montenegro vows to continue fight vs Annabelle Rama!

Former actress Nadia Montenegro admitted on Monday that she feels exhausted with her five-month legal battle against talent manager Annabelle Rama but vowed to continue the fight.

""I'm not gonna lie, it's draining emotionally and physically. My whole family is tired," Montenegro said.

"The children are having a hard time but you can't back out from something that you hold -- the truth. ... Kung pwede nga lang ilalabas ko na ang lahat ng nasa dibdib ko but I don't want to go too low or personal because I don't want to be like her," she added.

Despite the rains, Montenegro attended the Monday hearing at San Juan fiscal's office for the multiple cases she lodged against Rama, who manages her daughters Annyka and Alynna.

Rama did not attend the hearing but her lawyers asked the court to dismiss the charges for lack of merit.

"Complainant's act of stating untruthful narration of facts makes her liable for perjury punishable under under Article 183 of the revised Penal Code...dismiss this charge against me for lack of merit," part of Rama's statement read.

Rama and Montenegro are set to face each other again on Wednesday at Quezon City Justice Hall for the hearing of child abuse case filed by Montenegro's daughters.

Piolo Pascual's son talks about dad's breakup with KC Concepcion.

The son of actor Piolo Pascual has finally broken his silence about the controversy surrounding his father's break up with actress KC Concepcion last year.

In an exclusive interview with StarStudio Magazine, Inigo Pascual said there came a point when he shed tears because of the things that are being thrown at his dad.

“Yes, I’ve cried before. You know that feeling when you want to say something but you can’t? It makes me feel really bad and mad at the same time. Sometimes I just want to say stuff and tell them off,” he said.

Inigo said he badly wanted to tell those people who are spreading rumors about his father to stop telling lies.

“I want to tell them not to say stuff anymore but I can’t because it will make things worse so I’d rather not say anything,” he said.

Inigo said his father is a good man and people should get to know him first before bashing him.

Inigo also shared the ideal characteristics he wants his dad to find in a girl.

“I want him to find someone who’s simple, someone who I can talk to, and someone who I know really loves him for who he is and someone who will take me as I am and for being my dad’s son,” he said.

According to Inigo, he would prefer a non-showbiz girl for his dad in his next relationship.
