Martin Castro’s Wife speaks up; Claudine may have made it up

Jules — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 06:44:08 +0000

Here is the statement of Martin Castro’s wife regarding the ongoing feud between Claudine Barretto and Angelica Panganiban.

Martin Castro, the controversial man being linked to Claudine Barretto is Derek Ramsay’s best friend.

MRS. MARTIN CASTRO SPEAKS. As Claudine tells it, everything unravelled during the July 24 dinner hosted by the couple Martin and Cris Castro.

Claudine says she and Raymart are guests, especially invited to come and take a look at the Castros’ renovated garden, and to partake of a meal cooked by no less than Martin’s mom, who, Claudine tells PEP, has particularly asked to meet her.

At the dinner, Claudine goes on, Angelica arrives already in a foul mood. She is with Derek. But it is when Angelica starts badmouthing her sister Gretchen to the other guests that, Claudine says, she confronts Angelica. Their relationship goes downhill from there.

Claudine’s story is uploaded in PEP on August 26. The following day, I receive a text message from Cris Castro, who says she wants to speak with me. This is followed by a call soon after. Eventually, we have two phone conversations, one on August 27 and another on August 30.

Cris introduces herself as the person mentioned in PEP, and says the other person mentioned is Martin, her husband. “I want to correct a few things about the dinner,” she begins.

“Oh,” I say, “what did we get wrong?”

“Ah, no,” she laughs, her tone friendly. “Just that I read that Claudine and Raymart were, like, special guests? The dinner was for everybody, for our friends. It was not for anyone in particular, just all our friends. Claudine and Raymart were also there.”

Interrupting herself, she says, “The first thing I need to explain is that I’m not so close to Claudine. I can’t judge her. It’s my husband who’s close to Claudine and Raymart. I’m not.”

She adds with a small laugh, “ I don’t get crazy like an alalay because somebody is an artista. I’m just me. Of course, we’re very close to Derek [Ramsay], but we don’t treat him like an artista in our home.”

She says, “Martin and I have been close to Derek 12, 13, years. Derek is a very good friend, even to my kids. He’s their father, their best friend. He’s a very honest man.” Cris is 34. Martin is 38. Their friend Derek is 32.

Cris admits that, even with Angelica, she still has to get close. Certainly, being Derek’s girlfriend of three years, they’ve met her. They’ve even gone on trips to Subic together.

“I’m not close to Derek’s girlfriend, Angelica, either. But we’ve spent more time with her than with Claudine. We’ve gone out maybe a dozen times. We’ve had long weekends together—Derek, Angelica, Martin and me. But she’s very shy, doesn’t speak much, doesn’t speak at all,” she says with a laugh in her voice.

“So I’m not close to Claudine, and I’m not close to Angelica,” she clarifies.

What of the July 24 dinner? How was Angelica? I ask.

“Angelica came to the party with Derek. They came late and they left early. She was uncomfortable, I think, because there were people she didn’t know, so she wasn’t talking much. But she was fine, just quiet. Not dabog at all, like it said in the article. No, nothing like that. She had a smile on her face!”

Cris gives her impression of Angelica. “Angelica—she’s very shy, very quiet, very honest. I mean, the way she says things—she’s straight. But she hardly speaks. And that night, she wasn’t talking to anybody. She was beside Derek the whole time. She couldn’t have said things like ‘Gretchen gave Derek gifts that were so big’ to the other guests. We would’ve heard!

“We were all together in one dining room. Me, Derek, Angelica, my sister, Martin’s mom, Claudine… We would’ve heard! The others were in the garden, Raymart, Martin… I didn’t hear Angelica say anything about Gretchen giving gifts to Derek. I don’t even remember hearing Gretchen’s name. In the first place, if you know Angelica, she’s very careful. She hardly speaks!”

Recalling the evening, Cris says, “It was Claudine who was talking a lot. I guess she’s very comfortable with us. Claudine is very friendly. She’s a good conversationalist. She gets comfortable right way. She’s loud. She’s the kind who wants people to know she’s there. Maybe, she’s used to the attention. We give it to her.”

Cris’s tone is upbeat. Her language, predominantly English, is idiomatic, light, funny. There is little drama in her voice. It’s clearly a voice that doesn’t change moods fast or often. It stays upbeat long.

That is just my reading from a phone conversation, so to make certain, I ask directly: She’s the kind to let things slide, would that be right? How is she about fuss?

She laughs aloud and says, “That’s right! I don’t make a big deal of things. I say, if you’re okay with it, I’m okay with it. I’m too busy to pick on little things. I’m busy. I go to the States a lot—my mom is there, my daughter goes to school there. I do things.”

THE BIG QUESTION. Claudine has said there are rumors linking her and Martin, I tell Cris. Has she heard those rumors?

“I only heard them from Claudine! She’s the one telling me. She said she investigated,” Cris answers straight.

She says she also said to Claudine, “I said, ‘What do you care? You know it’s not true. I know it’s not true. What do you care?’

“I told her, ‘You’re not having an affair with my husband—so why should you be putting so much energy into this?’ But Claudine can’t let it go. I don’t know why she won’t let it go.

“Claudine told me she did not invent this. I told her, ‘I don’t care, and you shouldn’t care. You have Raymart, you have your kids, your career. Why should you care? You can’t find time for any of this!’”

To PEP, Cris says categorically: “I’m Martin’s wife. I should know if there’s an affair. It’s not true! All this talk, it doesn’t matter. I don’t care about talk.”

If there are indeed rumors, who can be spreading them? Does she believe Angelica has something to do with this, as Claudine claims?

“I don’t know if there are rumors. Claudine says there are. Who’s spreading them? We will never know, we will never know. Claudine may have made it up, I’ll never know, and it doesn’t matter. It’s not true anyway!”

Has she ever spoken to Angelica about the rumors?

Her quick reply: “No, I don’t need to. That’s how relaxed I am.”

She does muse, “But Claudine shouldn’t have mentioned our names. We’re private people. Before this, no one connected our names to this! I had no idea our names had been mentioned.

“My friends just called and said, ‘You’re on the Net!’ They gave me a link, and so I saw it [PEP]. We’re being talked about. Our kids will see this. Claudine shouldn’t have mentioned us. Like I said, we’re private people.”

Cris and Martin Castro have been married 16 years. They have two children, a 17-year-0ld girl and a 12-year-old boy. Asked what Martin does for a living, Cris answers, “Martin owns some restaurants, and builds houses.”

Asked what she does, she answers, “Housewife.” But in our second conversation, she says, “My sister tells me, ‘Why do you say you’re a housewife?’ Actually, I help Martin. I’m very busy running around. That’s why I wasn’t in the birthday party of Claudine, where Martin’s picture was taken. I’m too busy to party.”

Of late, Cris—full name: Maria Cristina Romero-Salas Castro—has been particularly busy. Her side of the family (“Martin is in it too!”; so is Derek) is opening the LifeScience Center for Wellness at The Fort this November.

I ask about the venture. She says it’s located at the ACCRA Law Center building, and it has all the needed elements for wellness—nutritionists, doctors, oxygen drips, regenerative meds. But the special thing it has, she enthuses, is that the vitamins will be tailored to individual needs and wants by the center’s doctors and nutritionists. “It’s not the same vitamins for everyone! We’re the only one with this!”

Cris, a University of Sto. Tomas graduate, will be a director in this family business. “I’m really not a simple housewife,” she laughs.

MARTIN’S PERSONALITY. Cris attempts to explain how Martin’s name may have gotten dragged into this.

“My husband is kinda the same as Derek,” Cris says. “He’s makulit, very honest, very friendly. He’s a very accommodating friend. Maybe he gave Claudine the wrong impression—that he’s too available.

“Sometimes, Claudine calls 30 times a day!” she says, not quite indicating if it bothers her.

“But Martin really makes himself available to friends,” Cris continues. “That time when Derek left home, many years ago, he stayed with us—and he stayed three months! We’re that open. That’s how accommodating my husband is. Martin is that kind of friend.”

Describing her husband further, she says, “He’s a clown. He’s always making people laugh. He’s a real person. If you need him, he’ll be there!”

But Martin is a proper guy, Cris makes clear. ”Martin never goes there to Claudine’s place unless there is someone there. Somebody’s always present. I know that for a fact.”

And Claudine is a proper girl, Cris believes. “I don’t think she’s that kind of girl. Claudine never gave me that impression. They weren’t an item.”

And her reading of Claudine’s husband? ”Raymart is like me. He just lets Claudine go on. He’s a private person.”

“ADDICT.” Talk about extramarital affairs is bad enough, but the word “addict” mentioned in connection with her husband’s name gets her angry, Cris admits.

“Martin is feeling bad about all this talk. Addict is a bad word. It’s good that it’s something that he’s not! I know he’s not. And that’s too personal, that’s below the belt!

“Especially because Martin is really payatin! Ever since I met him, he’s been that way. As a teenager, he was just always skinny. He has an uncle with the same body type. He eats eight times a day, but Martin just doesn’t get fat at all!”

She’s able to laugh, but it’s obvious that she bristles at the “addict” tag, which hit the media when Claudine accused Angelica of saying Martin was an addict.

“I’m not blaming Claudine,” Cris says diplomatically, “but I didn’t expect things to get out of hand like this.”

Cris recalls her last communication with Claudine was “a couple of weeks ago.” In that conversation, she says, ”Claudine was explaining what Kris Aquino told her. But I didn’t want to listen. It’s that he-said-she-said thing again, and I’m not in the loop with those things. When she called again a few days ago, I didn’t take the call anymore.”

She adds, “I told Claudine I didn’t believe the talk. It’s not a big deal to me. Why should she mind? She said it could ruin her career. I think she’s blowing it out of all proportion.

“As far as Angelica and Derek are concerned, this has ended a long time ago. It’s really up to her [Claudine]. From her side, I wouldn’t know what she’s thinking.”

Then Cris says, “A rumor is a rumor, but she put a name to a face. It’s different when you do that.”

DEREK’S FRIENDSHIPS. Cris also recalls Claudine saying in the PEP article that Angelica is out to ruin Derek’s friendships. That’s supposed to be the reason why Angelica is saying these ugly things about Martin.

Cris dismisses this right away: “Martin and Derek have been through so much, been friends for so long, that something like this cannot get in the way of their being friends. Angelica wouldn’t get in the way of this friendship.”

Again with a laugh in her voice, Cris says, “Angelica, we’ve known longer than Claudine. There’s been no rift in all this time, she’s never affected us in this way. But Claudine, in just a couple of months…

“Martin met Raymart a year or so ago. They’re close friends. I just recently became close. But ever since we met Claudine, our lives have done a whole 360!”

She still sounds upbeat. But admittedly, some things have changed—particularly for Martin, Cris says. ”Martin doesn’t know how to place himself. He’s embarrassed by this because Raymart is a friend. He’s uncomfortable.

“He’s already stayed away, doesn’t call her, doesn’t take her calls. He calls Raymart. He and Raymart have talked about it. ‘Pasensiya ka na,’ he told Raymart. Raymart said, ‘Wala iyon.’”

What about her? She didn’t take Claudine’s last call. Is she sorry she got close to Claudine?

After a pause, Cris says, her voice brisk, ”Yeah, I guess. I don’t need that noise in my life.”

I had seen some pictures of the staff who are joining Willie. The familiar faces are Owen, Anna Feliciano, and April better known as Congratulations.

Not only is Sharon a good realtor, she is also a good friend to her closest friends.

When Sharon learned about Fanny Serrano’s problem – he was asked to vacate his salon even if he had totally renovated the place, Sharon thought of her property near ABS-CBN. When Sharon and Fanny return from Europe, Fanny will move to the new place.

The Angelica Panganiban and Claudine Barretto war

Jules — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 14:57:06 +0000

Claudine , Angelica and Star Magic boss, MR. M

What is going on between Angelica Panganiban and Claudine Barretto? The last that I had known was the exchange of heated words between Gretchen Barretto and Angelica Panganiban at the height of the Magkaribal promotion.

Now, it seems that things have turned into a different direction. Now, it is Angelica Panganiban vs Claudine Barretto, Gretchen’s sister.

According to pep.ph, Claudine says that it was Angelica spreading rumors that Claudine is allegedly having an affair with Martin Castro, who is Derek Ramsay’s bestfriend. The first time I saw Martin Castro was when he guested on Simply KC when Derek Ramsay was on the show.

It will be recalled that Claudine was tweeting intriguing comments pertaining to someone being a traitor. Now, it is already out of the box that she was referring to Angelica Panganiban.

Claudine Barretto was recently reported filing a case against Angelica and her decision is already final.

Recently, Star Magic’s first boss, Johnny Manahan has already entered the picture. Mr. M, as he is referred to , said : “Go ahead. Sue, Claudine. Make our Day! Para Bellum!” “Para Bellum is a latin adage meaning “if you wish for peace, prepare for war.”

Mr. Johnny Manahan further states that : For those of us who know Angelica, well, she is feisty, irreverent, sometimes crude, but never a liar. Whoever is behind the web of lies and falsehoods being spin in print, Twitter, and other media must be a very disturbed individual. I only hope this nonsense stops before it destroys the perpetrator.”

Meanwhile, Claudine’s sister Gretchen Barretto denies any involvement in the ongoing rift between Angelica and Claudine.

The latest statement made by Mr. Johnny Manahan regarding the silence of Angelica Panganiban is this:

The only reason Angelica has not come out to defend herself against Claudine’s accusations, is because what she has to say would be so compelling and devastating to Claudine’s career. The is why she has chosen the path of silence. Angelica still has compassion for Claudine and rejects all the falsehoods attributed to her. “

Justin Bieber , the famous singing sensation from Canada may not be that sweet looking kid you see. Justin Bieber knows when to strike back when people close to him are attacked by some unscrupulous people.

Justin Bieber was once involved in a scandal involving him in a kissing photo. (Photo care of pinoygossipboy.com)

One of Justin Bieber ‘s friend’s Facebook account has been hacked to try to get the young singing sensation’s phone number . In return, Justin posted the alleged hacker’s phone number on his Twitter account which has over 4.5 million followers.

What happened next was something any hacker would not dare think of happening to them.

The message he posted was , “everyone call me xxx-xxx-xxxx or text.”

15-year-old hacker, Kevin Kristopik

The hacker, 15-year-old Kevin Kristopik upon his interview on The Inside Edition said that he got about 30,000 text messages and also about the same amount of calls, and he said that what he learned was , don’t mess with Justin Bieber.

Trauma: Life in the ER

The Robin and Mariel love affair, moving too fast?

Jules — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 08:19:08 +0000

Now that Mariel is on indefinite leave from her showbiz commitments, no one , not even Boy Abunda knows when she is coming back.

Mariel leaves the country perhaps to get away from the intrigues hounding her, but she is, as she admitted off the air, with Robin Padilla in India. Mariel Rodriguez is rumored to be pregnant but manager, Boy Abunda insists she is not. Hmmmm, let us just wait and see.

There were also reports before that Robin and Mariel are already living-in. Another controversy is that Robin Padilla’s ex-wife Liezl said that Rodriguez is the reason why Robin is not spending time with their children.

Boy said that he understands Mariel taking an abrupt leave from showbiz because she is in love. Robin is in India right now, in observance of Ramadan. Now that Mariel is with him, will he still be able to practice what his religion teaches , abstaining from everything? Sorry, my bad.

The Robin – Mariel love affair is perhaps one of the showbiz affairs that happened so quickly. It seems that in just a blink of an eye, Robin and Mariel are already playing sweet music to each other.

May 2010 when Robin joined Wowowee as replacement of Willie Revillame. In the two weeks that he was in the show, there ignited their love affair. It continued even after his stint in Wowowee and even his daughter, Quennie mentioned in her interview that since her father met Mariel, Robin has not returned home yet.

Robin is known to be a lady’s man. He knows how to please women and love women. Imagine the ladies he had been linked to: Liezl Sicangco, Jobelle Salvador, Leah Orosa, Sharon Cuneta, Dolly Ann Carvajal, Vina Morales, Ruffa Gutierrez, Kris Aquino, Judy Ann Santos and now, Mariel Rodriguez.

That could be the problem - he loves many women. He has four kids with Liezl Sycangco and a daughter with Lea Orosa. Now that he is a Muslim which allows him to marry more than one woman, will Mariel be able to accept that if it happens?

Can a Muslim have more than one wife?

The religion of Islam was revealed for all societies and all times and so accommodates widely differing social requirements. Circumstances may warrant the taking of another wife but the right is granted, according to the Quran, only on condition that the husband is scrupulously fair.

Relationships that move too quickly and did not even allow it to grow normally ends too quickly as well. Relationships that are built to last have to experience trials and hardships. If you will be able to endure them, then your relationship is for the long haul.

Juicy on TV5

Jules — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 07:05:33 +0000

For almost three weeks now, well, more or less, I had been glued to TV, staying late at night.

Most of my late nights are spent watching another showbiz-oriented talk show, Juicy, over TV5.

Pardon my being so shallow, but I have been really enjoying the show tremendously. The showbiz items are juicier compared to other shows of the same genre. It is not competing with SNN over ABS-CBN for it is airing around 11 pm, after SNN but on channel 5.

Among the hosts, it is Shalala that I find so amusing. I often find myself laughing to death because of his, or shall I say, her antics. And, I am all alone at my room. It is a good laugh, good way to end my day.

Aga Muhlach the actor with a good heart

Jules — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 12:18:55 +0000

Aga Muhlach, the former Bagets star is now the star, in fact the king in their household.

Last Sunday’s The Buzz, we all witnessed the real Aga Muhlach, a man with a big heart.

While everyone thrives being on the headlines of every broadsheet and tabloid, Aga is not an advocate of this kind of practice. It was very rare, in fact, I had not seen Aga commented anything about his personal life.

Last Sunday’s The Buzz interview of wife Charlene is the ultimate answer why Aga had been so reluctant talking about his personal life. Aga treasures his privacy and honors the precious time he spends with his family. It was so amazing how both Aga and Charlene blissfully reminisce the day Aga proposed to Charlene. It was a marriage, according to Aga, after 10 years is even getting better.

What I really found applauding was the comment he made after seeing his daughter Atasha played “Sana’s Maulit Muli” on the piano. “Wow, wow, wow, ang galling talaga ng Diyos.”

From that statement alone, you could surmise how is his relationship with the Lord. He gives back the glory to God for having a wonderful wife and kids. He wishes that he becomes a better person for the family.

Aga Muhlach is not only an actor who looks good on the outside, but more so, on the inside.

Angelina Jolie’s Salt

Jules — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 07:44:10 +0000

I am both a fan of Leonardo di Caprio and Angelina Jolie.

No, I did not become Leonardo di Caprio’s fan after watching Titanic. It was in Departed, with equally favorite Matt Damon, when he was a bit older , that I got to like him. He was very manly in that movie and oozing with sex appeal.

With Angelina Jolie, I am an absolute fan. She has always been on the list of top paid actresses. In fact, I think I love her more than Leonardo de Caprio. I missed Inception but no regrets at all. I could easily catch it on DVDs.

I missed her Lara Croft and Tomb Raiders. I watched her initially in Taking Lives. From then on, I fell in love with her. Not only was I glued to watching her in the movies she makes but more so, with her personal life. She has totally matured. From a rebellious young woman, to a mature, responsible, honest and sexy woman. Everybody have seen her transformation.

I watched her in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Wanted, Changeling and now, Salt. I must admit that I prefer watching her doing action films for I find her sexier .

I had long been waiting for Salt, since last year. In fact, on my eagerness to watch her, I was even fooled. I bought a DVD bearing the Salt movie poster. I saw it, and I said, Salt movie on DVD? Yes I bought but then as it turned out, the movie was Taking Lives.

Salt was originally intended for Tom Cruise but he turned it down, to his lost hehehehe. It may be unbelievable to anyone to see a woman doing stunts, but not for me. There is no other Hollywood actress who could do action scenes in the same way Angelina Jolie does.

I do love the scene seeing her jumping from one truck to another. I loved it when she snatched the motorcycle and speed away from the CIA who were all hunting her.

Watching the whole movie made me feel edgy on my seat. The suspense was unending. Aside from that , it showed how great an actress Angelina Jolie was specifically in the scene where her husband was killed right in front of her. She was apathetic, just the right execution at that particular scene. The Russian defector had to know if Angie was still on their side or not. What a way to test one’s loyalty?

Salt is one movie that you should not dare miss, whether you are a fan or not. Watch out for the twist in the movie on the second half.

What is Angelina Jolie’s next? Aha, The Tourist with Johnny Depp. Can’t wait to watch it!!!

ABS-CBN’s Official Statement on Willie

Jules — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 06:37:05 +0000

Napakinggan ng ABS-CBN ang mga naging pahayag ni Willie Revillame sa kanyang press conference na ipinatawag ngayong araw.

Si Willie ay may pinirmahang kontrata hanggang September 2011. Nilabag ni Willie ang behavioral provisions ng naturang kontrata nang binantaan nito ang pamunuan ng ABS-CBN sa episode ng Wowowee noong Mayo 4, 2010 at sinabing siya ay magbibitiw sa trabaho kapag hindi tinanggal ng pamunuan ang isa pang TV/radio personality ng network. Ang kanyang banta ay nagpakita ng kawalan ng respeto at pagiging arrogante. Ang ipinakita nyang hindi magandang asal ay hindi katanggap-tanggap sa mga Pilipino. Dahil si Willie ang lumabag sa kontrata, hindi sa kanya ang desisyon na mapawalang bisa ito. Sinumang lumabag sa kasunduan ay hindi maaring mag-dikta kung ito ay itutuloy o tatapusin. Ang kontrata ay isang kasunduan na dapat bigyan ng kaukulang respeto.Ano pa ang magiging halaga ng mga kontrata kung ito ay maaring tapusin anu mang oras naiisin. Ang ABS-CBN ang naagrabyado dito kaya ito ang may karapatan na magdesisyon kung itutuloy ang kontrata o hindi. Sa kabila ng lahat ng mga nangyari, desisyon ng ABS-CBN na ituloy ang kontrata. Naniniwala ito na dapat pa rin gampanan ni Willie ang mga obligasyong nakasaad sa kontrata na magtatapos pa sa September 2011.

Emma Watson’s (Hermione) new look

Emma Watson new look
