walk of fame or walk of shame?

i read about german moreno being in-charge of giving out "stars" to accomplished actors/entertainers in the philippine showbiz circle - and a new batch was now named.

http://www.pep.ph/news/15681/New-batch-of-stars-honored-at-Walk-of-Fames-third-anniversary

now the big question: what are the criteria before they name a person worthy of a star? does anyone know? how does one measure one's accomplishment?

i learned that ruffa gutierrez was one of the recipients of the prestigious "stars" - let me ask this: WHY? what are her so-called accomplishment that are worth mentioning? does she have an acting talent or award? does she exemplify good example to the local entertainment scene? oh, i would really love to know why ... aren't you curious?

postscript:
someone whispered that i forgot to write about ruffa's miss world 2nd princess title in 19-ewan - geez, people, that doesn't count, ok? it's nothing but a consolation prize for someone who did not win the crown! get that right in your hollow heads!

more ruffa tidbits

ruffa being "practical"? or ruffa's fall from her high horse of being a flasher in the world of the all the glitters?

http://www.journal.com.ph/index.php?issue=2007-11-28&sec=3&aid=40470

everytime this gal opens her mouth, a lot of can of worms marches out ... and the way some quarters "glorify" ruffa as a person makes me feel sick ... honest!

http://www.pep.ph/blogs/thumbsup/?p=3

some people's reason and values are really misplaced that they cannot separate truth from propaganda, or what is moral and immoral, or the difference between right or wrong. oh well, at least whoever wrote these stuff got paid to have a merry christmas - don't you think?

http://www.pep.ph/news/15608/Ruffa-Gutierrez-talks-about-being-lucky-in-career,-but-unlucky-in-love

and, for ruffa to think that the guys are having cold feet to pursue her because they are "scared" of her gave me some goose bumps ... she's really slow on her brain, huh? she's not being pursued because most guys in the philippines knows for a fact WHO she really is as a person - add the reputation of her family to that and it would speak VOLUMES of the kind of problem waiting for anyone who'd even dare be associated with her. WAKE UP, RUFFA!

this lolit solis character ... hmmp!

i was browsing this celebrity mag online and saw an article about the libel case being thrown at lolit solis by some philippine matinee idols. i can't help laughing as i read lolit solis' counter claim of having evidence supporting what she claimed to have seen by her two eyes. geez - lolit's story smells stink all the way down here.

1) in her original article, she claimed she did not really recognise who the guys were at first. it was the so-called waiter who told her - now, that is not what i'd call an eyewitness account as she claimed it to be. when you depend on another person's account, that's "hearsay" - well, according to the law books .... unless lolit have a different book of laws.

2) lolit laments to the public why was it that she was the one being picked on about her "claim" and "namedropping" of the two matinee idols being "gay". she continued to boast that she was not the only one who said so in public and in print. geez - the case, as i understood, is a LIBEL case: meaning lolit has accused someone falsely and with malice intent. points as brought to court was that a) she falsely claimed that the two matinee idols were at the Sofitel coffeeshop; and b) she claimed with malice that it was these two whom she saw "sweet to each other as the whispered in each other's ears ..." - those, if proven untrue, are enough cause for libel, with intent and malice.

in philippines showbiz, anything and everything goes. i can only wish that evidence against this lolit solis character holds in the courts - throw her to the pack of wolves in jail where she belongs .... hmmpp!

she's at it again!

she refuses to "die" a natural "death" as a trying hard actor. this ruffa gutierrez will really stop at nothing just to be the talk of the town - she's not embarassed at all.


http://www.pep.ph/news/15528/Ruffa-Gutierrez-clarifies-billing-issue-in-Desperadas

seems like she prides herself as the "carrier" of this Desperadas-movie - yuck! wait, i'd like to puke ...... excuse me!

if ever this movie makes it big, it's surely not because of her - why? she doesn't know how to act, ok? i should think that people are more curious to see this movie because of Iza Calzado (she recently finished a Hollywood produced movie) and Marimar's Marian Rivera (she's hot according to most male TV viewers). eat dust, ruffing! she doesn't have any talent to boot and don't really have the acting x-factor ... i guess she's only in showbiz purely because of the "clout" her mamasan have over some moneyed producers. other than that, i really wonder ...

appalling ...

yes, i find it appalling for some people to claim, or write even, false eyewitness account at the expense of another person. moreso when people bear false witness against another person. how could they? i can't understand how someone would fall prey into that trap? where has one's decency gone? where is common sense in all these charade and chain of lies leading us to? how could all this be tolerated?

appalling ... it truly is. i get annoyed. but one voice as mine would never count. it's merely a whisper drowned in the ears of those who listens ... just a shadow in the eyes that sees but but really seeing. ahh ... it sure is a wonder.

the darling in KC Concepcion

i'd like to start fresh with a new topic ... about someone more refreshing, true to her being and very down to earth. at least that is how i see this gal, KC Concepcion - the newest addition to pinoy showbiz tinseltown.

i watched her TV special on YouTube, KC from Paris to Pinas, and i must say i'm impressed with what i saw. i would best describe her simplicity, humour and humility as ace factors aside from being born to showbiz' popular parents, Sharon Cuneta and Gabby Concepcion.

there are, of course, quite a number of comments and observations right after this special - some good, others were critical - in both good and bad way. i read how one described KC's visit to her friend's charity for abused children as pathetic and patronising. well, i beg to disagree. while it's true that far too many celebrities use "charities" as a PR coup, i don't think KC did that for the sake of upping up her image to the filipino people. she did that in support of her friend - she made one and all aware of this charity's existence.

KC exhibited her own talents on this TV special ... her independence, her mind and spirit, her innermost thoughts and what her Paris experience has taught her - thank goodness not the hollow expectation of the filipino showbiz public to be "cute" in public, not "reinventing" herself to suit showbiz and its patronisers. it's sort of a "what-you-see-is-what-you-get"-attitude. i kinda like that.

yup, that's the darling in KC Concepcion. how all this will develop is another thing ... i hope she'll retain her sanity and intelligence in dealing with the crazy world of pinoy showbiz ...

what's up?

ruffa gutierrez faded away to oblivion? so, what happened to the RRRampa-charity? did the proceeds really went to the targetted beneficiary? i would love to see an audit ... i'd hate to hear someone to claim that the expenses are far greater than the amount collected in the auction. or are the proceeds likely to disappear into oblivion as well? just asking ...

could ruffa suffer the same "fate"?

i just read the inquirer article about the arrest of the self-exiled Jose Maria Sison in The Netherlands ... this was initiated by virtue of an arrest warrant upon the request of the Philippine Government through the Interpol (?) ... oh well, if other governments are this accommodating to the Philippines, i really wonder what the Philippines would do if charges against ruffa stepped up in other countries such as the USA and Turkey - will they turn over ruffa for prosecution in a foreign soil where she committed her "self-confessed crimes"? makes me wonder ..... well, whatever will be, will be ...

people have claimed such charges were in place ... that the authorities involved were just waiting for ruffa to make one move of mistake to make that "jump" on her ... if this is the case, is such "sison-fate" - arrest on foreign soil - likely to happen to ruffa?

and the circus continues ...

first of all, thank you for coming to this blog site ... what an overwhelming response to the last post - wow, 410 comments to wit! they are all very interesting read, and yes, truly informative.

anyway, as you have already observed, ruffa is at it again - what a circus! what a show! and who is she kidding? or rather, who is she fooling this time around? only the lowest and dumbest sort of people in the philippines? oh, you'd come across them on PEP forums ... aplenty!

i have my own observations and thoughts about the latest development in the ruffa-yilmaz brouhaha - so, here it is ...

yilmaz' "homecoming"
ok, what made him decide to come to manila? did you have the chance to read the link below? if not, please do so ....

http://www.pep.ph/news/14398/Ruffa-Gutierrez-to-Yilmaz-Bektas:-I-love-you-and-you-have-to-change.


in this interview, yilmaz said: "She send to me a message and she told me I have to come to pick them up. Those were the magic words."


to which ruffa explained : "Well, he kept saying, ‘Come meet me here. Come meet me there.' I think it's just proper that he's the man and he should come to me in the Philippines."
(note: this reply made me think ruffa is trying to save face and justify her "message" to yilmaz)


anyone in their right mind can deduce that it was ruffa who's trying very hard to reconcile with yilmaz. her motives? i'd say she's got a number of reasons - and i'd bet two possible ones ...

1) the legit reason: her children (poor little ones to be used as pawns of their scheming mother)
2) the probable shady reason: ruffa misses the luxury of being "married" to yilmaz - regardless of where his supposed wealth comes from - and she need not work for the dough, too.

based on yilmaz' earlier pronouncements, if you are to believe them, he was ready to let go of ruffa. on the other hand, ruffa can't seem to decide whether to let go of yilmaz or keep him at bay using their children as the best excuse to keep their communication open. from what i heard, yilmaz has been calling the kids, not ruffa - but ruffa always managed to make it look like yilmaz is always calling her ... that yilmaz is after reconciliation and is keeping tab on her. well, yes, i believe he may be keeping tab on her - what she's up to all the time, the works. why? i presume that it's because one "missed step", ruffa can say goodbye to the custody of their children - yilmaz have threatened to take their children from her as soon as he has proof that ruffa is not fit as mother of his children. that's one reason why ruffa shied away from "trouble" and "showbiz gimmicks".

when ruffa subjected yilmaz to this TV interview, she has her one and only motive - to vindicate herself in public that she's telling the "truth" about her battery and abuse in the hands of yilmaz. her questions are very leading ... the turk went along even as he was put on the spot by ruffa - ruffa may be all smiles, but i'd say i have this gut feeling ... a very bad gut feeling that there's something in yilmaz that doesn't look quite right. you can tell by the way he tried to defend himself from some of ruffa's point-blank questions. also, ruffa wanted to have that public display of "how much yilmaz love her" - that everything is forgiven between them. geez, even that "nudge" towards buying a house in manila for her is a very obvious and desperate cry for financial support from yilmaz. ruffa may be overjoyed to "vindicate" herself in public when she toyed with yilmaz in that manner, but there is something "fishy" about yilmaz as he sat there with ruffa all throughout the interview. despite all that exchange of looks between them, their body language and facial expressions (especially their eyes) tells a lot more ... ruffa's smiles and light banter were obviously nervous and defensive ... it looked romantic to some, but upon closer scrutiny and observation, you'd think otherwise. the look on her face each time she address yilmaz on something seemed like she's seeking approval and confirmation of some sort from yilmaz - she looked like one who's in a fit of nervous laughs almost afraid yilmaz would say something not to her liking and is quick to justify herself.

subjects as discussed openly on national TV about resettlement in spain, reconciliation, marriage counselling, verbal expression of love and devotion to each other, "marital" woes and expectations from each other all seemed too scripted to me. i have my doubts about all these pronouncements ... my gut feeling says so.

statements from ruffa's psychologist/psychiatrist
as many have observed, and commented - how the heck can a doctor divulge what has transpired between her and her client during their sessions? yes, where is the so-called professionalism there? this quack of a doctor crossed the line of her profession's code of ethics and decency when she discussed her client on both print and TV media. or, was she told by her client to speak up and discuss their session in public? which is which? read the article below and decide for yourself ...

http://www.pep.ph/news/14403/Ruffa-Gutierrez-and-Yilmaz-Bektas-commit-to-marriage-counseling

also, commitment to marriage counselling? ruffa and yilmaz are not legally married, are they? maybe the best category to describe their so-called togetherness is as "live-in couple". until such time ruffa's divorce papers are handed down, ruffa is still Ruffa Sharmaine Gutierrez Daloia. if ruffa insists to claim she's married to Yilmaz Bektas - then it's pretty much a confirmation that she truly is a bigamist! married in the philippines ... with the whole nation as its witness - and the catholic church is not doing anything? granted they "wed" in another religion - the law applies to everyone and there should not be any exemption at all!

so, to ruffa's "quack doctor" :

- could you please treat your patient accordingly?
- could you please work on ruffa's ego and deflate it once and for all?
- could you drill some sense in your patient's empty head?
- could you give ruffa some dose of reality check?
- could you make ruffa distinguish right from wrong?

my list is quite long ... go figure!

on the prospect of living in Europe
i hope ruffa knows the consequence of doing so ... to the well-informed, this would mean a disaster for her - her "crimes" brought by her ignorance of the law is punishable in most courts in Europe ... my overworked mind it makes me wonder why yilmaz would pick Spain as "second home" - why, it's a predominantly catholic country ... they do not tolerate bigamists! hidden agenda? i hope i'm wrong ... or, am i?

yilmaz to consider living in the philippines ...
i'd say, good luck to you, yilmaz! just think - with annabelle around, how sweet a life you'd live! but i guess, you'd find ways to keep annabelle away, or maybe at a distance ... and you probably would love the make-believe world of philippine showbusiness your "wife" so adored - yup, you do belong together if you could stand all that ... public attention and adulation is what the both of you seem clamor for yourselves. go and expose your dirty linens in public to be the "talk of the town" ... enjoy life the guttierez-way ... the philippines' most talked about "wannabes" and "social climbers" ... good luck!

untl next time, folks!

ruffa's legal struggles are just starting ...

... if you are to believe what the kurd has revealed in the Danny Buenafe-article/interview from Istanbul. let me give you some personal insights on the matter.

- ruffa's kabit, though still mooning about her, is obviously out for a vengeance (big time!), not only because of ruffa hurting his pride and ego but also for the insult ruffa inflicted to his family and religion - a religion ruffa once believed (?), embraced and voluntarily converted to

- this kurd is not likely to push for the bigamy case against ruffa knowing that penalty for such could result to death for ruffa ... i guess this kurd is leaving this business to some militant muslim to take care of. it would be his way of "washing his hands clean".

imagine this: a demand to prosecute for justice in a muslim court from a third party .... seeking justice for the islam religion .... blah blah blah blah ..... (you can fill in the rest in your imagination)

- a fraud case is almost always penalised in europe, turkey is no exception. no crime is a small crime - it's a crime period. you don't laugh nor brush aside the implication of laws in a civilised country ... you cannot bribe or sweet talk your way out of a crime in their system.

- i can assure you that somehow, somewhere, there is a brewing bigamy case being prepared against ruffa. it could be in the philippines or anywhere abroad. at this point in time, it is only a matter of "wait and see". this could just blow smack on ruffa's face - she'd better be prepared to defend herself. she has armed the justice's advocate with her self-admissions on both print and TV media which could be used against her - she can claim ignorance of the law, but dahlings, it's no excuse.

- if ruffa really gets summoned to Istabul to face fraud charges, she'd better show up. she will need representation from both Turkey and the Philippines to present her side of the case - boy, she will need TONS OF DOUGH! i hope she would not ignore such a summon, because if she does, she could get slapped with another case for avoiding a court appearance - and THAT would be adding obvious guilt to her fraud case ... just another "bullet" for the prosecution. in all legal entanglements, one should not "test" nor "annoy" the courts - you'd only get into more trouble.

- if ruffa really returns to Istanbul, the kurd "wins", sort of. it has always been his wish for ruffa to return to him. and he is likely to "take care of her" and "treat her like a princess".

- ruffa ought to fight her "battles" according to her conscience ... she holds the truth and answers to the questions that hounded her. it is now up to her to oblige the court, and the public, the truth and nothing but the truth.

on another note, isn't it so quiet, ALL TOO QUIET, in the entertatinment press of any vocal support for ruffa about the recent events? no drumming, no fanfare? i think it was only robin padilla who voiced his support openly - and those who attended her tacky birthday party? hell, for all you know, they're only there for the free booze!

what happened to her wedding ninongs and ninangs? i'm very curious if sharon cuneta made any comments when things have come to light about her lies and deception? knowing sharon to be "politically correct" as she's been trained all her life, i guess she will distance herself from ruffa. will the powerful ninongs and ninangs extend a "helping hand" or a "slapping hand"? will they let themselves be used by ruffa? but hey, come to think of it, HER MARRIAGE IS A FRAUD - so, they are not obliged to do so, right? they are no ninongs nor ninangs afterall. what a thought!

with quite a number of probable legal entanglements hanging in the air, it makes me wonder who's to support this lying, conniving, manipulative and deceitful ruffa gutierrez in her march to the "gallows of truth" ... will there be "mercy" or "no mercy"?

as i've said, ruffa's legal struggles are just starting ... a dose of her own medicine, so the saying goes. and she's still battling herself with her "truths" and "half truths" - oh dear, that's too much of a battle for one to take. who's out there to help?

why was i not surprised?

now it can be told! my very reliable source has tipped me of one very interesting development in the lives of annabelle rama and ruffa gutierrez. it sure raised my eyebrows - and my disgust barometer peaked to unimaginable high. really, words alone cannot express my loathe, hate and yes, disgust when i hear such stories.

on annabelle rama
how true is it that annabelle's "hiding" from her creditors? ok, let's just say "avoiding" her creditors? that she's said to be "faking" fainting spells and "chest problems" everytime her loan of multi-million pesos from different creditors would surface? i gathered that she's really borrowed a lot of money left and right to "support" her family and in keeping up their "luxuries". imagine this, borrowing from very influential people from both the entertainment industry as well as "friendly" politicians! annabelle is now said to be trying her darnest best to charm her creditors, writing IOUs and promisory notes of every kind - go figure! her motor mouth is now on "pause-mode" ... re-thinking strategy perhaps? one very funny story i heard is that how annabelle "conned" a very prominent and real princess (though she's now divorced to her prince and has since remarried) - not only once, but twice! could this really be true? the story goes that the first time this princess was approached was when annabelle sweet-talked her to co-produce concerts with her - the concerts turned out to be all sold out but no money could be found nowhere. not really needing the money, the princess simply let it go and distanced herself from annabelle (and the likes of her, i hope). then in 2006, annabelle, for the second time, approached the princess for another loan - a huge loan, mind you - promising her a "soon windfall of payment from ruffa". dear reader, are you doing your math while reading this? anyway, it was said that annabelle wanted to borrow a sizeable amount to buy a property in an exclusive makati residential area, but the princess still recall the bad business she had with annabelle - she did say no to what annabelle asked to borrow, but she let annabelle borrow something like Php5 million to be paid by the end of year 2006. the princess wanted this transaction legal that she had a contract drafted for annabelle to sign which annabelle jokingly refused to do so - saying she'd prefer to have the loan "behind the books" - GRRRR! the princess, of course, refused as she wanted this done for tax purposes and BIR records. well, the princess waited to get paid in vain ... annabelle's avoiding the "money issue" every time she meets the princess - even after receiving a call from the princess herself. would you like to know where the Php5 million went? when confronted about her loan, annabelle told a tale of woes that it is now she who is supporting ruffa until she could stand on her own feet, that the "expected" alimony after the divorce (?) from the kurd is still a problem and that she still have some problems with her other creditors and that she still has a pending embezzlement case (ask Bert Nievera). the princess, upon hearing annabelle's excuses, simply would not accept it. with the help of her own connections, the princess stepped up her claim for payment and lo and behold - annabelle gave a different story. apparently, annabelle confessed that the Php 5 million were sent to ruffa in istanbul at the time her kurd husband was in jail in support of the lavish lifestyle ruffa was used to. even at that point, ruffa was already planning to divorce the kurd. if this is true, wouldn't you think that both mother and daughter have really planned their scheme to "milk" the kurd? yeah, go ahead - raise your eyebrows ... i did raised mine. karma worked its wonders when it backfired - they could not collect a dime from the kurd! now, the princess has advised her lawyers to do something about the case and to let annabelle (and ruffa) know of her intentions to collect what is due to her. you see, the princess is truly a kind soul to the needy, but i guess she simply wouldn't let her kindness be used and abused of the likes of annabelle. so, do you still wonder why annabelle is silent and fading in the background?

on ruffa gutierrez
a lot has already been said about this gal ... it would seem like a waste of time, and sanity, trying to understand her. learning what i know now, i still find it hard to believe how she could live her life in lies. i'm sure there's much more "tall tales" to tell in the future, more revelations even more shocking and revealing for everyone - but i guess at this stage, she's "naked", in every sense of the word, in the eyes of the Great One and the people around her. what else can i say except: RUFFA, HOW DARE YOU?

proud annabelle

well, you have to give it to the ruffa's mom (see article below) ...

http://www.pep.ph/news/13984/Annabelle-Rama’s-sexy-photos-proliferate-in-cyberspace

if her morals are questionable on this day and age, could you imagine what her morals was like during her heydays? could it be that her failure to make it in the pinoy tinseltown in those days prompted her to literally push her children to the limelight and do what they do now? i say, literally, because it must have been her prodding, or encouragement, that made their children plunge into the business after painting it in "colours" you can just imagine. sadly, much as it was annabelle who helped them "shine", it would also be annabelle who will bring them down - shame! shame! shame!

way too much "dough" to "chew" ...

i came across some articles about ruffa's younger brother - richard gutierrez. geez, the pattern of gimmickry this family uses is too obvious even for a regular "patay gutom" - or am i expecting too much?

1) as spokesperson and greenpeace activist: when one really supports a cause, one need not publicize such an act for the sake of getting nationwide coverage of what you believe in. you do your act without asking for a pat on your shoulders.

http://www.pep.ph/news/13955/Richard-Gutierrez----newest-celebrity-spokesperson-of-Greenpeace

2) on hollywood dreams: only in the philippines can one boasts of "hollywood" recognition even when they are not really part of the movie production itself. passing it on as an "achievement" is a tell-tale sign of "riding" on someone else's accomplishments. i don't think the movie mentioned here got recognition because of the "actors" - it got recognition because of the storyline, its direction and cinematography. but of richard's acting? nah!

oh yes, it's too obvious that richard is hoping he'd get a little "exposure" in hollywood by meeting the new cast - remember how good this family at namedropping for the sake of building up their image(s) among the "patay gutom"? just wait and see ...

http://www.pep.ph/news/13960/Richard-Gutierrez-on-Hollywood-remake-of-Sigaw-and-his-Greenpeace-activism

i'd say thay all this is nothing but PR-tricks. this gutierrez clan will stop at nothing to "hug" the local entertainment scene. now that ruffa's stinking business is out in the open, their PR-machinery is now sending the "boy-next-door"-son to "retrieve" the gutierrez place in the local tabloids.

Ruffa = OUT of the limelight (at least silent for a while)

Richard = IN into the showbiz circus (he's fresh and likely to build up the gutierrez "tarnished" image)

Raymond = WHO?

Annabelle Rama = WILL always be around (raking in commissions from the earnings of her darling investments)

Eddie Gutierrez = WHO and WHAT his role in this family todate remain a mystery to me

what a bunch! it's an interesting bunch ... the shrill thrill of this family is all about showbusiness ... the taste of dough and the high of its perks has gone to their heads and drowned every ounce of their "sanity" to choose right over wrong. but hey, there's nothing wrong with the "dough" - for as long as you "chew" them right. who wouldn't want a bit of that crazy crunch to munch?

oh, please release me ...

i haven't been online for a while ... and as a force of bad habit, at the very first opportunity i got, i immediately browsed for articles, and videos, i missed when i embarked on a much needed respite from work. and i found this link on youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2onivAW1DQ

to be perfectly honest with you, guys, after watching this, i did cringed and thought that ruffa continues to dream in her tra-la-la-land. most of you have probably seen this video, but goodness gracious, ruffa just wouldn't let go - and the nerve to even make excuses to no end in justifying her actions.

whatever "tuldok" annabelle wants her to do, ruffa is still hoping against hope for something from this turkish guy. really, what's the real score?

this video could very well have been scored with the once famous song during the heydays of ruffa's visayan mom (i forgot the name of the singer) ...

"oh please, release me let me go ... for i don't want you anymore ... to waste my life would be a sin ... release me ... and let me love again ..."

well, take your pick as to who really should be singing this tune, ruffa or yilmaz? better yet, throw in a version for annabelle rama - ha!ha!ha!

what's up?

haven't anyone noticed that ruffing seemed to have "fade away" in most celebrity tabloids? oh yes, she's pretty much around - lurking on the sidelines ... waiting for more revelations from moi? i heard she's got spies everywhere - and just about anywhere! true or not, i'm not in the least surprised ... just watch out for her and her horrible tentacles - she's probabaly cooking up something on the sidelines.

the "high and mighty" ruffa i know ...

... is actually a brat of a gal even in her teens. you see, moving around the right "circles", you'll be surprised about the amount of stories you'd get to hear. when i heard this particular story, it made me think that ruffa, even at a young age, had already exhibited this "disorder" of being a brat and always trying to get everything she wants, no matter what the consequence would be. is the story true? well, i'd like to ask eddie gutierrez when i see him ... i hope i get to do so in my lifetime.

apparently, upon the return of the gutierrez family to the philippines (after their famous kaldero-selling days in the USA), they got invited to several different social events in the entertainment industry. at one time, one very prominent figure showed eddie and ruffa (dunno if annabelle was there) his prized possessions in terms of art collection and jewelry. ruffa allegedly asked if she could try a tiara of precious stones and was allowed to wear it for the night - and mind you, she wouldn't want to part with it, and even tried if she can cry to have it. the tiara was said to cost a lot of money, and the poor host begged to have it back. even her father eddie begged her to give it back and couldn't convince her then. the prominent figure, who was then their host for the evening, threatened to call the cops if eddie can't make her ruffa return the precious tiara. it was only then it was returned. you can just imagine the bucket of tears (?) ruffa must have shed when she didn't get that tiara.

now, it makes you think, could this event in her teenage life somehow distorted her "innocence" that she has vowed to be "successful" to possess such material things money could buy? already then, she probably wanted to be treated like a "princess" ... and look what and where she is now.

wealthy and powerful playmates, anyone?

i can't help laughing when i learned that along the "corridors of power" - you know, the place where the so-called "elite" pass laws and regulations which the filipinos are expected to abide to, there had been a plague of rumour haunting even its darkest alleys alleging that a showbiz supermom had been peddling struggling starlets to new and upcoming "legislators" in return for "small favours" for the showbiz supermom. neat business deal, huh? it is also said that spouses of the powerful "elite" were disgusted to hear about this rumour and they really look down to this showbiz supermom - however, knowing the ethical background of the "peddler", these group of spouses were comfortable that their husbands wouldn't succumb to such "sales talk" ... interesting, huh?

what is this i heard?

- could it really be true that annabelle rama have an outstanding PHP25 million debt to a businesswoman in manila which they could not pay back, not even a cent?
geez, i thought they're loaded?

- and is it really true that a certain politician offered the said businesswoman PHP7 million (only?) to write off the outstanding debt/loan as a favour to annabelle rama?
goodness, if they can't pay-off the PHP25 million debt, don't you wonder how annabelle would pay back the politician?

well, i must admit i'm curious ... these "rumours" are new to me, but somehow, i was not in the least surprised to hear them. the gutierrezes' closet are full of skeletons ... you'll never know what would pop out of it.

boooo!

how insulting!

for ruffa to practically even embrace the "battered wife" image and be spokesperson just the same for its cause is totally insulting!

http://www.pep.ph/news/13849/Ruffa-Gutierrez-visits-other-abused-women

ruffa, you are a lot of things, but you are not
1) a battered wife
2) someone who have any decency
3) someone as worthy to champion the cause of real battered wives

this is another publicity stint for you and nothing else ... PWE!

all's well that ends well?

there is this nagging feeling in me that events of the past few weeks will turn into an awkward development between the "battered" ruffa and the "abusive" yilmaz. after reading another article as below, would it be safe to say that everything that has transpired on both print and TV media is all for a show?

http://www.philstar.com/index.php?Showbiz&p=50&type=2&sec=58&aid=20070629149

geez, the pinoy entertainment business is truly beyond any sense of reason and common decency.

more "glorification" of a bigamist's act?

reputation? pwe!

http://www.pep.ph/media.php?id=628

do i really need to say more?

holy cow!

more dirty garbage to come? the nerve of ruffa to ask the filipino public to leave her first husband alone - yaiks!

http://www.pep.ph/news/13838/Ruffa-Gutierrez-asks-media-to-leave-first-husband-alone

didn't i tell you folks earlier that the circus will still go on and on and on and on and on ... with this publicity hungry "princess" (sic) wannabe, you can never tell where her brains are. i'm so throwing up already ... really!

busted, for the nth time!

boy, was i not surprised to read this ... and i still don't believe the battery issue - pure lies!

http://www.journal.com.ph/index.php?issue=2007-06-29&sec=3&aid=22874

an ounce of humility or arrogance?

i can never really tell if this is the true face of someone battered and faulted ... but i can tell you that this is one face of a VERY battered woman who fully recovered in a span of only a week or two! don't you ever wonder at all? nah, i guess i know - it's all for the show! always has, always been ... surprised?

http://www.pep.ph/news/13738/Fabulous-fashion-at-Ruffa-Gutierrezs-birthday-bash

http://www.pep.ph/media.php?id=604

and another thought ...

ruffa wanted yilmaz to stop giving interviews and issuing his statements to the filipino people, but hey - isn't it she who started all this? telling one lie after the other - yilmaz merely tries to "correct" her statements ... now, people are getting confused as to who to believe.

well, i know where i stand and i do have an inkling as to who to believe, do you?

more revelations ...

below is yilmaz answer to ruffa's claim of physical abuse and battery ...

http://showbizandstyle.inquirer.net/entertainment/entertainment/view_article.php?article_id=71145

this whole circus doesn't seem to want to stop ... c'mon now, file those cases already in court and not throw venom at each other. you see, as soon as all of these cases get filed in court, we'll soon see who's been lying and who's been telling the truth. at least when things are already in court, there will be enough documents to feast our eyes on - agree or disagree?

the truth and nothing but the truth?

i kinda like this post ... could this be the truth and nothing but the truth? here's an excerpt from http://cheesedip.com/2003/03/30/ruffas_wedding.php

“hi all,

i think it was late 80s or early 90s when the gutierrez family return to philippines from US. Back then, eddie was still dignified to elaborate how humble their lives were in US, selling different stuffs of which the more popular are kalderos… the children are not known yet, only eddie g. has the name recall and even he has to start from square 1. there were many people who helped them… you should have seen how shabby their first house was as in really because they can’t afford a more expensive one…. soon after eddie g. got into movies of course (regal films) so they were able to move to whiteplains…

that time, the queen of talk show is inday badiday( luz carvajal, mother of dolly ann carvajal, take note also that the grandfather of dolly ann was formerly a Philippine ambassador). she is very influential in the sense mas sikat pa sya compared sa the buzz and showbiz central… inday was one who helped eddie g. in so many ways, one of which is money ( binigyan talaga nya si annabelle and eddie because nga wa cash sila)… and of course if an artista guested in her show maganda ang media mileage…. it was also in this program of inday badiday where cristy fermin, lolit solis and the likes started… para silang mga neophytes na under training… soon they become competitions to her.

fast forward to ruffa’s life, she is rebellious in many ways… so nag-artista na rin and eventually paired with some guys and na-involve with dennis da silva… because of being rebellious ayun sya pa ang nagyaya na mag-elope sila ni dennis…. eventually, annabelle stormed dennis’ house and binawi si ruffa… this was the start of her calling people patay-gutom… then on ruffa get entangled with different men…

the issue of her being second princess in ms world i think has a connection with the brunei scandal… there was a batch of beauties who went to brunei to entertain the family of sultan… and when this batch came back, they started buying some properties… here ruffa bought her beverly hills condo in greenhills ….

then, the family went into producing films …

in between they got entangled with different scandals, ruffa and friends were photoed topless while getting drunk… ayun, one of the girls’ boyfriend sort of posted the photos in the internet… sila yun

annabelle for her part learned the ropes in the showbiz world… on the side she sells jewelries, manage mga starlets (these are the bold genre), and then yun nga produce some concerts and 1 or 2 movies, and also was able to have her own clouts in media… and her other sideline is to supply por kilo sa mga DOM na corrupt politicians… at one time, i think in startalk or s-files there was a starlet crying and accusing annabelle of being bugaw… the following episode annabelle was in the same show and badmouthed the starlet like what she did with dolly anne… the next thing we know wa na career yung starlet pero andyan pa rin si annabelle

back to ruffa… sometime in 1999, there was a very influential DOM who wants ruffa por kilo… annabelle has no qualms kase nga me datung… well, this DOM has several wives and they live comfortably in posh villages (forbes park, wack-wack and the likes), kaya ok lang k annabelle… but this time ruffa refused… she rebelled so fly sya sa US… dito na yun start sya mag-job hunting of which she landed as anchor host of century and kasama na sa rebellion nya yung pagpapa-kasal kay richard daloia… and eventually she met yilmaz… at this point, nag-reconcile na ang mother and daughter…. and eto na sila ngayon…

sometimes i was asking, if ruffa’s jewelries really came from yilmaz or from annabelle

said yilmazzen on Jun 6, 2007 at 8:14 AM”

i did see this coming ...

... that ruffa gutierrez will eventually admit to being married to a certain richard daloia in january 1999

... that yilmaz had no knowledge of this first marriage

... that there would be no divorce as there was no legitimate marriage in the first place

... that yilmaz would rage and sue to 1) seek custody of their children and 2) charge ruffa in court for bigamy as well as 3) declare ruffa as an unfit mother

... that dolly anne carvajal would have the last laugh on the "marriage and drugsmuggling activities" articles she wrote and annabelle rama would be quiet (at least for a while until she can come up with another mouthful to say)

... that ruffa, being the big crook and liar, would try to save her face and plead innocence and give the "i-am-the victim"-stance to the general public

what a circus! boy, what the nerve! wouldn't you agree that ruffa is nothing but a fraud, a conceited and bashful liar (big time!), a deceitful, manipulative and conniving bitch of all bitches? with all her stinking "garbage" out in the open, she was hardly sorry for anything! not an ounce of shame in her at all .... someone, please spit on her face and tell her point blank that she stinks! and when you did, do let me know - so I can dance the jig!

que sera, sera

What a week full of revelations! It’s amazing how things have developed. For the better? I don’t know really. Let’s make a re-cap ..

Ruffa flee to USA – yes, with children, and yaya and annabelle in tow. She even managed to wage a word war with dolly anne carvajal when the latter translated and published links as emailed to her by her readers. She was peeved and slighted by the write up about her alleged marriage to a Richard Daloia and the piece about yilmaz’ family background. But why the heck can’t she confirm or deny these? To assault a respectable journalist such as Dolly Anne and accuse her of poor journalism is a big mistake ... you barked at the wrong tree, Ruffa! Now, it is likely that more of your hidden “can of worms” will be made available to the filipino public. Don’t you have any shame left in you?

Yilmaz calling Ruffa a traitor (and yes, nicknamed her Brutus, too) – the poor chap suddenly became aware of how Ruffa had ridiculed him and their marriage for the sake of publicity. He came to know about how Ruffa tried to turn the chain of event into her advantage – seeking public support and projecting herself as the “victim” in this drama, to the point of trying to revert the truth and imply to the public that she is the one leaving Yilmaz because “she can’t take it anymore” and not the other way around – the nerve! She made a circus of her marital problems, insulted the muslim community when she re-affirmed her christian faith (sic), played on the emotions and sympathies of the filipino people, and that of Yilmaz, too. I have suspected early on that Ruffa was not telling the truth as to the real issues surrounding Yilmaz’ ultimatum in seeking divorce – that Ruffa have to choose between their family or her career.

Yilmaz, according to Ruffa, hoped for a reconciliation – he seeked the opportunity for them to talk ... but Ruffa simply gave him the runaround. Why? Is it because she saw an opportunity to really break away from their marriage? Ok, their marriage ... hmmm?! Was their marriage even binding? Can someone show a copy of this so-called marriage registered in the Philippines? Did anyone bothered at all? You see, I’ve been trying to do some math here ... Ruffa supposedly got married to this Daloia guy in January 1999. She met Yilmaz during the Cannes Film Festival in 2000 – meaning Ruffa was still (?) married when she met Yilmaz? Did she managed to divorce the guy before she met Yilmaz? Or did she divorce the guy after she met Yilmaz? Why are there no divorce records found? There are records of the marriage, remember? Yilmaz and Ruffa got married in March 2003 – and at the same time Yilmaz announced Ruffa was pregnant. There’s talk on blog threads – could it be that Lorin is Daloia’s and not Yilmaz’ daughter? Venice look very much Eurasian compared to Lorin – I do hope this is all but pure gossip, for Ruffa’s sake.

Rumour started surfacing when Ruffa, time and again, showed up in Manila with her standard showbiz phrase – “I miss my family and friends”, “I miss showbiz”, “I have a commitment to fulfill” ... this could go on. People’s wagging tongues starting blabbering – something’s definitely wrong in her well acclaimed “Istanbul paradise”.

When Ruffa claimed she married Yilmaz for love – honestly, I doubted it from the very beginning. Boy, was it such a relief to be proven right all along. It’s not nice to gloat, but I sure did – just because all her big fat lies finally slapped her hard on her face.

Seeing the first video interview of Yilmaz where he struggled to explain his side in a language truly foreign to him, I feel his frustration, disappointment and sadness. This guy’s no saint, he never claimed himself to be. Ruffa was the one who’s been telling one and all what kind of a husband he is – directly and indirectly. The public has formed their very own impression on this guy ... all according to the information Ruffa so willingly addressed in her all too perfect ways. Some people were in awe, others squirmed (and got goosebumps in the process).

Yilmaz, according to the latest exchange of TV interviews and print media, has now claimed that Ruffa lied about a lot of things. He was right in saying that Ruffa was disrespectful of him (and his family, of course) – one has to go through all Ruffa’s interviews and will understand his sentiments. Honour to a muslim is sacred. Ruffa crossed this very dangerous line and Yilmaz will not be forgiving. Now, he claims that he will fight custody for his children – and he is likely to have Ruffa be declared as an unfit mother. For Yilmaz to even start this line of defense to bring in lawyers to settle and end their marital woes, Ruffa will surely be in a lot of trouble. She will now have to secure a substantiable evidence and solid proof why Yilmaz is not fit for custody of their children. In doing so, more “dirty linen” is likely to surface.

At this point in time, Annabelle suddenly got wise in advising Ruffa “not to talk anymore” – does she sense “trouble” herself? Ruffa have also maintained that she “never said anything against him” – how wrong she is! For goodness sake, to say that “husbands own their wives” in Yilmaz culture is already an insult to the guy. She has claimed to have embraced the muslim religion and culture earlier only to later turn her back on this very sacred part of her husband’s individuality – that is one big insult not only to Yilmaz but to his whole family as well. Also, to tell in print (and TV?) interviews that her husband doesn't speak (and understand?) English is another thing - that too is very insensitive of Ruffa. And if I may ask, how do they communicate in all those 7 years together? Her refusal to go back to Istanbul depriving Yilmaz of her presence as his wife and that of the children in more than two months speaks volume of disrespect. One need not say anything per se, Ruffa’s actions are bigger than words. Does Ruffa truly have a valid reason not to go back to Istanbul? What's the real issue behind the crying drama both mother and daughter displayed on national TV? Bear in mind that all her interviews are published and recorded – so, Ruffa, think first before you speak. For all you know, all these can be used against you.

This drama isn’t over yet ... it will surely get more and more complicated. Yes, Ruffa, consult the best lawyers there is. I’d say the circus is not over ... the “clowns” are still on centerstage, and so are the spectators as we ... waiting for the curtains to signal its end. Will it ever end?

As the song goes ...
Que sera, sera ... whatever will be, will be ... the future’s not ours to see ... que sera, sera!

what the future holds ... is unknown?

the set back in this never ending drama can be very tragic to the children involved - lorin and venice. ruffa has deprived her children their father.

so what holds true for the future of the little girls? they got entangled in a very ugly word-war between their parents - the parents who are supposed to take care of them and shield them from harm of any kind.

yes, this is ugly - and it will certainly get uglier when things "buried deep into the grave" resurface once again and haunt the guilty ones. there will be more revelations that will shock and anger the general public - insults to a higher level will dawn on a lot of people ... what the future holds, truly, is unknown ... the drama will continue - it will even more be bloodier, more personal, more revealing and more outraging.

my heart goest to the little angels, or princesses as ruffa would claim them to be - they are in for the ride of a no-win-game ...

the painful truth hurts ...

sitting on quite a number of inside information about the ruffa-yilmaz brouhaha is not that easy .... i have promised to hold on to them until due time, so as not to preempt the "hard research" some people are undertaking ... geez, i'm holding my breath far too long now.

will you please get that published already?

go Dolly Anne, go!

she asked for it, now she's got it!

http://showbizandstyle.inquirer.net/entertainment/entertainment/view_article.php?article_id=68775

for ruffa to think she's above everyone else, think again! dolly anne said it all, shall we rest our case? hmmm ... not yet! that's only a little part of ruffa's mess ... we'll keep digging and get ourselves more substantial evidence against her blatant lies! let's arm the very few people in the showbiz industry with the bullet of truth ... until truth be told and public apology be issued for what it is worth!

poor journalism?

ruffa got peeved at dolly anne carvajal's article about her and yilmaz ... why?

people in the know got VERY peeved at ruffa for calling dolly anne's article as poor journalism. such retaliation is truly uncalled for ... what does ruffa really know what journalism is all about? if she thinks she is truly slighted by the article, she could easily defend herself or yilmaz by telling the public that what was written in the article was not true at all. why couldn't she do just that? could it be that there's some shade of truth in it? for goodness sake, dolly anne is one of the most reliable entertainment writer there is in philippine showbiz - someone who wouldn't just write about anything unless she knew more about the subject. those who normally react to her articles are those who are narrowminded. one has to really read her articles and understand each and every word she writes, how she wrote it and the manner in which she presented and published the article. it is unfair for some people to draw and make their own interpretations of the article and not take it as it is - that's just simply wrong!

so, ruffa, if you are to say they are not true, then just say so - pointblank! and make sure you can justify and support your answer. and another "unsolicited advice" - you ought to learn how to fight your own battles - know when to speak up and know when to shut up. it's just as simple as that!

poor journalism? my eye!

i heard from the grapevine ...

that there's something very "explosive" to hit the newstands in the philippines very soon. i'm just as curious as everyone else. the big question is, who will benefit from whatever it would be - could it be ruffa? yilmaz? or the filipino public? let's just wait and see ...

Hello! Magazine Cover: genuine or fraud?

this is a hot tip ... and a very much disputed Hello! Magazine cover - genuine or fraud? you decide ...

Turkey version, 2005/12

No 41, 23-29 March

this is posted in ruffa gutierrez' official website. (go to cover girl section then scroll down)

what do you think? do you see any flaw? one thing noticeable and suspicious is the layout - it doesn't seem to follow the norms of a regular Hello! Magazine layout - no explanation of what other articles were inside the mag, no mention of the other pictures' relevance on cover ... is the magazine's content centered on Ruffa alone? suspicious ... very suspicious!

synopsis of a fairytale circus

I did mention earlier that I have this very strong suspicion that there is something off about this Ruffa-Yilmaz affair.

As the drama continues, it gets even more bizarre. People are left in awe and amusement as we get ourselves “invited” into the lives of the Gutierrez-Bektas family as they give statements at one interview and the other. They say it is not our business and that they do not need “unsolicited advice” – well then, as many others have said, they might as well shut up and stop giving interviews and make a circus of their so called private and precious lives. The public speculation was sparked by the interviews they have been giving left and right. They enjoy the limelight, the attention they get from the media and the Filipino public – it would be a lie and hypocrisy in the highest level if they would claim otherwise. They are playing with the public’s sympathy and emotions by issuing conflicting and confusing statements – overlooking the fact that there are intelligent people at bay watching (and laughing) in silence, analyzing and investigating the truth beyond each and every claim they get the local print and TV media to print and publish on their behalf. Those who once had taken their side suddenly took notice … got confused themselves and started questioning the real score behind all this drama.

The weaving of the "happy-ever-after-fairytale"
Ruffa has claimed in public a lot of things which are far from the truth. If you are to go over the past interviews, she has projected a very happy married life. Everything is rosy and perfect. She told of the fabulous life she lived in Istanbul, her integration into a totally different lifestyle, her new family and new religion (only to revert back to christianity later on). To brag about the wealth and stature of her husband is one thing, to flaunt her material possessions is another thing. To exaggerate the truth about her involvement in the FTV Turkey-business only showed how she craved for public attention and recognition in the Philippines – she was convinced that everyone just got to know! Lo and behold, no one questioned the authenticity of the so-called ownership of the TV station – a realization came to her, an apparition – aha, I can say anything I want without any problem at all … I can stage a comeback and revive my “career” in the Philippines. You see, after the so many publicities she got after her marriage, her PR machinery concluded that they have to inject fluidity to feed the curiosity of many in the Philippines about her new lifestyle. Even to the extent of faking her resumé as a sought after celebrity in the Hello! Magazine (Turkey version) – what a fluke! Yes, we indeed got ourselves fed with all the “fairytale ingredients” in everything we read about her.

How does one keep the interest alive in a person? You make them admire you. And so came the different “humanitarian” projects – and she has to name drop her admiration for Angelina Jolie in all this, saying how much she admired Angelina’s humanitarian works. Why the reference? She doesn’t have any originality at all that she has to copy such act to get her in the loop and be proclaimed as “humanitarian” – the nerve! While Angelina’s causes are genuine, I can’t say the same for Ruffa – for me, it’s too shady, too hollow.

The acclaimed marital bliss later turned into a farce. An announcement was made that Ruffa and Yilmaz are to file for a divorce. In Ruffa’s official statement, which she claimed as a joint statement from her and Yilmaz, she cited their cultural differences as the cause of their separation and later indirectly claimed on national TV that she’s a battered wife. She said she realized only now, after 7 years together and in marriage, that such was a heavy burden to bear. But when Yilmaz issued his own statement, it turned out to be a rather different story. Tongues started wagging – people made their own interpretations, a lot of finger-pointing ensued, bashing here and there and it didn’t stop there … more drama …

True or false
Ruffa has embarrassed herself in public … she was caught in a lie. But instead of submitting herself to silence, she weaved more lies and deception to save face. More interviews surfaced … along with it came more secrets out in the open. Yes, Ruffa did finally get the attention of the Filipino public, but beyond the way she had hoped it to be. People made it their business to seek truth in all the claims she made in public.

- A happy married life (busted, fake, make-believe)

- A wealthy and of good standing of a husband (busted – she forgot to mention where the wealth is from and his family background)

- FTV Turkey Ownership (busted – they had “rights to manage” never owned it)

- Marriage to a Richard Daloia (many claimed this is true and there are records showing it)

All these were neither confirmed nor denied by Ruffa herself. Very few press would even touch on the subject? Why? These were already known in blog threads for as early as 2003 and intensified during 2004. These points were deemed outright as "sensitive" and "questionable" - the philippines press left it that way. There was no interest whatsoever to investigate the authencity of these claims. Your guess is probably as good as mine.

An aftermath
I don’t know if Ruffa and Yilmaz discussed the latter’s first statement to the press, but there are signs that they did. Bear with me on this one, why would Yilmaz retract some of his claims in the first statement? Why was Annabelle suddenly soft after the release of the second statement? Why the matter-of-factly attitude from the Ruffa camp? Suddenly, Ruffa is open for a possible reconciliation with her estranged husband? Is it really for the sake of their children?

Suddenly, Ruffa packed and left Manila with her children in tow, and of course, Annabelle is very much like a shadow behind. Destination: Los Angeles, USA. Why? Could it be that the unexpected interest of the general public to a certain Richard Daloia is one of the main reasons to this change of plan? Remember Ruffa claimed that she was to leave for Thailand and even hinted that Yilmaz will likely show up there? Then they began yet another circus – Yilmaz is suddenly here, there and everywhere! Again, your guess is probably as good as mine.

The drama of the latest development with Annabelle saying to Yilmaz to “leave Ruffa alone”, to “give her freedom” is just too much for a spectator as myself. In my opinion, Yilmaz do not have to leave Ruffa alone since Ruffa have already left a long time ago – without his permission as he has claimed in one of his statements. If Yilmaz is trying to get hold of Ruffa, it’s probably because he simply wants to put an end to this entire circus. And I guess the Gutierrez family is trying to give him a hard time, as to why, I can’t really tell – but suspicions, boy I got plenty!

A reflection
Having read everything there is to read about Ruffa, I find it very amusing that regardless of being caught red-handed in public, there is not an ounce of remorse or shame in her at all – and that’s too sad, to the point of having that queasy awful feeling that this saga full of lies and deceit is nothing new to her. Had she lived a life full of lies all this time? Had this been on from childhood, unto her teen and adult life? Was she brought up in a make-believe world all of her own, and that of her family? Is there any truth in her life at all, or had every little thing been about her, or her family had been a lie? One thing I can guarantee though – it’s so obvious that there’s a strong love, faith and devotion within their family … that is love, faith and devotion among themselves and nobody else.

the never-ending saga continues ...

into oblivion we go ... deeper and deeper into the abyss. will somebody, someone cast a ray of light already? or are we doomed to wait in vain? oh, yes ... we are simply spectators of a damn good show ... the fairytale drama of a "princess" (sic) and a "prince" ... ho-humm!

pray tell me, why does ruffa always have this referal as a "princess" in most of the articles written about her? winning a beauty pageant do not make one a princess - get real! as far as i know, she do not have any royal blood except for spanish ancestry from his dad (which got mixed with the visayan blood from her mom). what is it so "princess-like" in her? the princesses i know (at a distance) are low key individuals, they shy away from the press or paparazzis, they hardly give interviews and they mind their own business - she's opposite to all these characteristics as accustomed to a true blue royalty ... cease the illusion, please.

treat ruffa as she is ... a showbiz personality - nothing more, nothing less. putting her in a pedestal place using the word "princess" is an insult to the true meaning of the word.

the FTV Turkey business ...

now, the cat is out of the bag ... so the saying says.

dolly anne carvajal of the inquirer newspaper heeded the call of confirming what most of us already know - the ownership of FTV Turkey (a fashion TV station) ... read her article on this issue in the link below.

http://showbizandstyle.inquirer.net/entertainment/entertainment/view_article.php?article_id=67211

hurray! another lie of ruffa busted publicly - what a humiliation! that is if she's capable of having such a feeling at all ...

anyway, thus it was confirmed by FTV's very own jean-pierre partouche that

- yilmaz did not own FTV Turkey
- yilmaz did not buy FTV Turkey

but,

- yilmaz had rights to FTV Turkey for one year (2005 - 2006) ... this meaning "contractual administration" - in short, employee working on behalf of FTV

so, for this purpose, yilmaz put up a company where he made ruffa its CEO to take care of business (?) - as to what her tasks really are is yet another thing since she undoubtedly have no knowledge as to how to take care of administration nor oversee the need of the TV station - and remember, she's mostly in the philippines during that period.

could it be that ruffa prefers to be the one featured on Fashion TV Turkey than doing the paperwork "behind the scenes"?

if i had it all wrong, please explain all the above in your own words.

i will follow you?

in the link below, super natawa ako sa mga quoted statements from ruffa ... she's got the "i-love-my-own"-attitude to the max ...

http://www.gmanews.tv/story/43338/Ruffa-Marital-blues-not-about-lack-of-love-but-of-respect

ruffa spoke in volumes of yilmaz before - during their happier days (sic) and now she claims otherwise, and that's according to herown statement that yilmaz "did not take care of her" .... *yawn* - this we alreadty established as one of her big lies. if you really are to read each interviews from both ruffa and annabelle, i'd say it again - pure and simple, all this is DAMAGE CONTROL. in most of the interviews now they are covering their tracks so that either way the whole circus would go, ruffa and company would benefit from it. i hope yilmaz got something up his sleeve - which i'm sure he does ... just wait and see.

when ruffa announced she's to "go away for a while to soul search" - mark my words, it was not her idea but yilmaz'. for her to even announce where she's going is very suspicious - even more suspicious for her to tell that maybe yilmaz will make a move to meet there ... do you smell what i smell? this is stinky stuff! nilalaro na naman ni ruffa ang publiko, there's no denying this fact. ang pobreng mga pinoy, naloko na naman. bottomline: gusto ni ruffa susunod ang press sa thailand (sic). i think she LOVED the idea she's been in the turkish newspaper as the WIFE OF YILMAZ BEKTAS WHO CHOSE HER CAREER OVER HER FAMILY - well, it's publicity for her no matter what. kaso, this is one publicity which is bad for yilmaz in istanbul that he now needs to save his face and tarnished HONOR in the muslim turkish society - there will be consequences for this. ask any muslim ...

cirque d' ruffa gutierrez

the plot thickens ...

it's an endless tale of woes imaginaire ... one wouldn't know what's really cooking inside the manipulative gutierrez' minds. i'd just sit back and relax and wait for something out of the extraordinary ... something explosive, something that i do not know already. what i truly wonder now is what is hidden in ruffa's mysterious smile ... do you know? i bet she's laughing inside about how she has fooled the publice once more ... what more can i say, it's just very "cirque d' ruffa gutierrez" - everyone is in awe (not!).

one more time - it stinks!

geez, here's another bead of lies ... and as mariaclara in another forum said, "straight from the horse's mouth" ...

http://www.pep.ph/news/13319/Ruffa-to-Yilmaz:-You-have-to-promise-me-that-you-will-change...

she's getting more and more pathetic ... it stinks, it stinks, it stinks"

one stinky business ...

magso-soul searching daw? baka naman strategy plotting ... she doesn't even want to confirm nor deny her 1st marriage ... this is getting more and more interesting. she really planned her "comeback" well, but at the expense of other people - especially her children (they became pawns in this drama) - probably her reason would be that they are still too young to understand, and indeed they are ... poor children to have a "mythomanic-like" of a mom as ruffa ...

http://www.pep.ph/news/13313/Ruffa-Gutierrez-leaves-the-country-today-with-her-daughters

also, in the interview below, is annabelle rama getting soft? so very suddenly? this really is getting quite an awful STINKY business ... don't you think?

http://www.pep.ph/news/13318/Annabelle-Rama-is-now-ready-to-talk-to-Yilmaz-Bektas

again, i'd say, drama, drama, drama and more drama ...

been to hell and back?

that's what ruffa claimed earlier in one of her blogs when confronted by strong criticisms ... she somehow emphasized this phrase by converting back to christianity after denouncing her christian faith in favour of islam when she wed her turkish husband.

yeah, right ... she's been to hell and back ... to what? just asking ....

annabelle rama - bow ... wow! wow!

i watched annabelle rama's interview in showbiz central for the first time ... my comment about it? i find it touchy, with the right showbiz ingredients, but still, it's hilarious in many ways - see for yourself. especially her comments about ruffa being away from her ... isn't it the norm that when you get married, your "family" is where your husband is?

annabelle spoke well too soon about her opinion on ruffa and yilmaz' marriage without really going to the bottom of it all. or was it the very opportunity annabelle's waiting all this time? as i've said, i find all this too shallow ... you don't mind my saying do you?

nora - a lesbian?

could it be true? but records don't lie ... unless manipulated. good thing those records were in the USA - i wouldn't believe it if they're from manila ... everything else from there can be falsified.

will she deny or confirm this? we'll just have to wait and see. question is, would it be such big deal?

ogie + regine = SAY WHAT?

oh yes, it's finally out ... but hey, it's not that shocking anymore. their very own public have suspected the relationship has been going on for far too long already - fact is they always manage to avoid admitting it as it really is.

for goodness sake, stop playing that pipe of denials - just admit it pointblank. in the end, you lose not only your credibility, much less the respect your public have for you. get real!

one step back ...

it is so interesting to note that after yilmaz' first statement, people in the know instantly identified annabelle rama as the "materialistic relative" in his open letter ... and in the same breath, annabelle and ruffa also assumed the same - why? because they are guilty as hell and knew it in their heart that they have that streak of "materialism" yilmaz had pointed out. so, their answer? the "may-i-go-to-the-press"-strategy to air their side. hilarious isn't it? now that yilmaz cleared the intentions of his statement - things certainly is taking another turnabout.

what really happened? yilmaz, during last week's conversations with ruffa, obviously gave her an ultimatum to choose between marriage or divorce. instead of thinking things through, ruffa went to press bout their marital problems by spilling her "heart's pain and confusion" to ricky lo - thus the circus and "soap opera"-development of the whole thing. annabelle jumped into the bandwagon and showed her true colours (as if we do not know her) and informed us, the public, what she really think of the union between her unica hija and the turkish millionaire (daw!). mother spilled out her worries and worse nightmares about what would happen to ruffa and her grandchildren if they go back to istanbul. why is she preempting the possible reconciliation between the two? both ruffa and annabelle claim there is a valid reason. well, since they love to spread their dirty linen to the public time and again, why can they not divulge this reason as well? is it because it is only an imagination in their minds? a ghostly apparition not supported by facts?

today, there will yet be another interview from annabelle in showbiz central. i am beginning to think all this hullabaloo is all a product of gimmickry - just for the show. the latest hype about ruffa's re-christening with invited TV and press people is a suave move from ruffa to get herself away from the muslim's sharia law in case yilmaz contest custody of her children. but she forgot something - she has dedicated herself in a muslim rite with yilmaz in istanbul, which still makes her WIFE of yilmaz ... and for her own sake, i just hope she didn't have a turkish citizenship, or dual citizenship for that matter.

one big puzzle really is the distance the whole gutierrez family have put between them and yilmaz. according to him, NOBODY in her family have talked or contacted him since this whole thing exploded in the newspapers. if true that it's only ruffa who speaks to him many times over the phone, who is there to know what the real score is. remember, rufa is a big liar - she could have said things opposite of what was really discussed between her and yilmaz. read between the lines in the above 2nd statement from yilmaz. now, everything looks very shady as a whole - drama, drama, drama.

there is already some betting going around - ruffa will definitely go back to istanbul. as to how is another question. yilmaz seemed determined for this to happen - so, let's wait and see.

what a relief ...

finally the filipino people learned their lessons that no celebrity deserve a seat in the government, except for a handful of them who TRULY deserves one ... kudos for using your vote wisely!

why should he?

meaning lino cayetano, needs sharon cuneta's permission to attend KC's graduation in paris? is sharon in control of the attendees of the graduation rites? hmmp! i didn't know the graduation was exclusive for KC alone ... feeling important, huh?

ruffa gutierrez - all that there is to it ...

is nothing but lies, lies, lies and more lies. i pity those who believe and hang on every word she weaves in public - what a waste! very few people know what's behind the facade. but who's to challenge all her lies? none i guess ... the pinoy showbiz circle loves her and her wild imaginations.

when will the filipino people realise that ruffa is only toying them in her little finger - she thinks so highly of herself that nothing matters except her material possessions - and her future investments ... that will be her two little girls. soon they will end up in the oblivion of endorsements for big bucks - i call that exploitation! well, like her mother before her, the easy way out to earn the big bucks is through the shallow world of make believe - the pinoy showbiz style.

like mother, like daughter?

welcome one and all!

due to insistent public demand, i have now decided to open in public my blog specifically for celebrity bashing - or adulation page for some. this is going to be very interesting.

do not fret, you need not be a member of blogspot - you may post your comments anonymously if you so wish to do - or do under an alias name. whatever you fancy!

let's keep the ball rolling! have fun!
