Ram Revilla - Janelle Manahan video scandal leaks as 2012 nears

Video scandal of Ram Revilla and Janelle Manahan has been leaked and is now everywhere on the internet.



Ram Revilla(aka RamGen Bautista) died in October 29 and 2 months after, a video scandal of him and girlfriend Janelle has been released.

Is this the best way to commemorate Ram's 2nd month death anniverary?

Definitely not, and it must be stopped, to pay respect to Ram.

Links to the video are circulating on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and on different video downloading sites, but the video is no longer accessible in most of them. Good!

(For blogging purposes, I only tried to check if the videos are still working and not because I've been dying to watch it. Just wanna make that clear.)

And I hope, before the New Year 2012 comes, all copies of the video will be totally removed from the web.

The short video, which shows Ram Revilla and Janelle Manahan doing a thing in the shower, runs for almost a minute (54 seconds) and it says that it's under "R-Breezy Production".

Janelle’s lawyer Argee Guevarra told the Philippine Star today that his client has confirmed she and Ram are indeed the couple in the video, and that it was stored in RamGen's computer.

Who leaked the video? Atty. Guevarra is pointing fingers to Ram's own family. "This video represents the second assassination of Ramgen and second frustrated murder of Janelle orchestrated and masterminded by the Bautista household," Guevarra told The Philippine Star.

But the Bautista family's lawyer Jeffrey Gepte has denied the accusation. “It’s absurd to blame the family because it’s a private matter between Ramgen and Janelle. So it would be very absurd for the whole Bautista family to know about it," he said.

I'm waiting for Sen. Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr's reaction on this video of his half-brother RamGen and Janelle.

Remember, in 2009, Sen. Bong condemned Hayden Kho Jr for recording scandalous videos with different women, including Katrina Halili. He accused Hayden as the one who released the videos online.

Tyron Perez dead on Dec. 29 - death anniversary of Miko Sotto

Tyron Perez was found dead inside a car in Valenzuela City Thursday night,
December 29, 2011.

According to a report from ABS-CBN News, Tyron Perez (real name: Jojo Malonzo Perez) was found dead while at the backseat of a black Toyota Altis car along Barangay Ugong in Valenzuela City.

He died of a gunshot wound on his head with the gun found near his body.

Police investigators
initially deemed Tyron's death as a suicide, but they're not ruling
out the possibility of a foul play.

Investigation further stated that the car was parked at the area since morning the same day.

'Bandila' news anchor Boy Abunda shared last night on the show that according to his sources, the vehicle was parked near the residence of Tyron's friend,
where the actor was staying for a couple of days already.

The friend has been identified just this morning as Priscila Salazar.

Tyron left a wife named Liv, a flight attendant, and she confirmed to ABS-CBN News that she and Tyron indeed had marital problems before his death.

Tyron Perez was only 26 (Sep. 14, 1985 - Dec. 29, 2011).

Incidentally, December 29 is the death anniversary of Miko Sotto, a
21-year-old actor who passed away in December 29, 2003.

Miko, who was Angel Locsin's boyfriend that time, died after he fell
from the 9th floor of a condo unit in Mandaluyong City.

(And also, Tyron's death almost fell on the 30th death anniversary of 80's popular young actor Alfie Anido, who died in Dec. 30, 1981, at age 21. He was also believed to have committed suicide.)

In 2008, Kapuso actor Marky Cielo also died at a young age and it was also in the month of December. Cause of death still a mystery, Marky, 20, passed away on Dec. 7.)

Just like Tyron, Marky was also a product of GMA 7's artista-search program "StarStruck" (the show with the tagline "Dream, Believe, Survive!"). Marky was StarStruck Season 3's grand winner (Ultimate Sole Survivor).

Eight months ago, a " Perez" also died young. Aged 17, Kapamilya teen star AJ Perez died
in a car accident in Tarlac, which happens to be Tyron's home province. (AJ and Tyron were not related though.)

***


Tyron broke into the showbiz scene in 2003 when he joined the first season of "StarStruck", where he finished 5th.

He was voted off from the show December 7, 2003.

Among his batchmates in StarStruck Season 1 were Jennylyn Mercado, Mark Herras, Katrina Halili, Nadine Samonte and Cristine Reyes.

While on GMA 7, he appeared in the TV series "Joaquin Bordado", "Lupin" and "Bakekang".

In 2006, Tyron was launched as the lead actor in the sexy film "Twilight Dancers".

His movie credits also included the indie films "Metlogs: The Metrosexual Society (2006)", "Room 213 (2008)" and "Pipo (2009)".

Hoping for a brighter showbiz career, Tyron moved to ABS-CBN in 2010. As a Kapamilya, he starred in the teleserye(s) "Momay", "Imortal" and "Mula Sa Puso".

He also appeared in 2 MMK episodes: as Gretchen Barreto's brother in "Larawan" aired on April 10, 2010 and as Ejay Falcon's lover in "Baunan" aired just last December 3.

'Panday 2' and 'Segunda Mano' battle for 2nd spot: MMFF 2011 Box Office Tally (December 25 to 27)

The official MMFF 2011 Box Office Tally has been finally released today with 'Enteng Ng Ina Mo' as the Festival Topgrosser, ranking #1 with almost a hundred million gross receipts already in just 3 days.

As of December 27 (Day 3 of MMFF 2011), 'Enteng Ng Ina Mo' which stars Vic Sotto and Ai-Ai delas Alas, has already collected a whooping P91.9-million gross earnings, while 'Ang Panday 2', starring Ramon 'Bong' Revilla Jr and Marian Rivera, is in very far second, with P51.5-million earnings.

At this point, it's already impossible for any other entries to grab the No. 1 slot from 'Enteng Ng Ina Mo' which might reach P200-million mark by the end of the festival.

'Segunda Mano' on one hand, which stars Presidential Sister Kris Aquino, comes very close to 'Panday 2' with 47.0-million.

Depending on the results of the MMFF 2011 Awards Night or Gabi Ng Parangal happening tonight, 'Segunda Mano' might overtake 'Panday 2' and end up as the 2nd top-grosser of the festival.

In the tally released by Kris Aquino on Twitter last Monday for the opening day of the 2011 Metro Manila Film Festival, 'My Househusband: Ikaw Na' was ranked 4th and 'Asiong Salonga' was the lowest-grossing film of the festival.

"Correction sa MMFF DEC 25: 1. EntengngInamo 38.5m 2. Panday2 20M 3. Segunda Mano 18.25M 4. Househusband 17.33M 5. Shakerattleroll 13 15.9M 6. Yesterdaytodaytomorrow 10.1M 7. Asiong 3M. Congrats friendship & Vic! Congrats Bong! Congrats Juday, Ryan & Euge!!!," Kris posted on Twitter (@itsmekrisaquino).

But on the official box-office tally from the opening day up to December 27, 'My Househusband' is only ranked 5th, behind 'Shake, Rattle & Roll 13', while 'Asiong Salonga' comes next at 6th spot making 'Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow' as the lowest-grossing film so far with only P4.1-million gross in 3 days. (Kris' tweet said that the movie had P10.1-million on its first day.)

As reported by PEP's scoopbox on Twitter this afternoon, here's the official MMFF 2011 3-Day Box Office Gross released by MMFF Executive Chairman Francis Tolentino:

1) Enteng ng Ina Mo - P91,892,997.10
2) Ang Panday 2 - P51,527,616.00
3) Segunda Mano - P46,931,780.05
4) Shake Rattle & Roll 13 - P22,756,512.30
5) My Househusband, Ikaw Na! - P20,839,817.10
6) Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story - P7,957,716.50
7) Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow - 4,089,922.50

TOTAL = P245,996,361.55

Anne Curtis' portrait as Christmas gift from boyfriend Erwan Heussaff

Princess of All Media Anne Curtis has received a very special Christmas gift from her non-showbiz Fil-French boyfriend Erwan Heussaff.

Actress-Model Solenn Heussaff was the one who shared on Twitter about her brother Erwan's gift for Anne last Christmas.

As shown in the photo above, Anne received from Erwan a beautiful portrait of her own self as painted by Martin Honasan, husband of singer Barbie Almalbis and son of Sen. Gringo Honasan.

According to Anne on Twitter, it's one of the best gifts she ever received.

Last December 24, Anne and sister Jasmine Curtis spent Christmas Eve with the Heussaff family.

Anne and Erwan are couple for 2 years already, and after Christmas, it's exciting to know what would be Erwan's gift for Anne on her 27th birthday this coming February 17.

During Anne's 26th birthday, Erwan gave her a "jewelry" to replace the
$600-worth amethyst ring that she lost in a trip from Hong Kong last January. (The amethyst ring reportedly also came from Erwan.)

MMFF 2011 Box Office Tally (Opening Day): 'Enteng Ng Ina Mo' takes top spot

The MMFF 2011 has officially opened today, December 25 (Christmas Day) and just like in the previous years, it's always exciting to know which MMFF entries drew the longest lines of moviegoers during the festival's opening day.

There are seven (7) official entries in the 37th Metro Manila Film Festival or MMFF 2011 and as expected, 'Enteng Ng Ina Mo' dominated Day 1 of the festival.

No official figures have been released yet by the MMFF officials, but according to Star Cinema people, the movie, which is co-produced by Star Cinema/OctoArts/M-Zet/APT and stars MMFF box-office giants Vic Sotto and Ai-Ai delas Alas, had a record-breaking opening day figure of P38.5-million.

Movie tickets for 'Enteng Ng Ina Mo' reportedly were declared "sold-out" in some cinemas, that moviegoers had to settle for either 'Ang Panday 2' or 'Segunda Mano' as their 2nd choice. (These two films actually also had sold-out tickets in other cinemas.)

SM Megamall, which has 12 cinemas, said on Twitter about 10PM tonight that the 3 films who dominated their cinemas on Day 1 of MMFF 2011 were 'Enteng Ng Ina Mo', 'Segunda Mano' and 'Ang Panday 2'.

"@StarCinema's Enteng Ng Ina Mo, Segunda Mano and @GMA_FILMS Panday 2
came in strong at the Box Office for the first day of MMFF 2011," SM MegaMall posted on Twitter.

SM Megamall initially allotted 2 cinemas each for 'Enteng Ng Ina Mo',
'Ang Panday 2', 'Shake, Rattle & Roll 13', 'Segunda Mano' and 'Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow', and one (1) each for 'My Househusband: Ikaw Na!' and 'Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story'.

But it ended the day with 4 cinemas for the very strong 'Enteng Ng Ina Mo'.

We might have the official MMFF 2011 box office tally or results for al1 7 entries by Monday morning, but as of 10PM on Sunday, reportedly, here's how the entries ranked on Day 1:

1. Enteng Ng Ina Mo
2. Ang Panday 2
3. Segunda Mano
4. My Househusband
5. SRR 13
6. Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
7. Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story
