Santos signed re-cently a two-yearguaranteed contract
with ABS-CBN. Aside
from hosting the weekly game show Bet o n Your Baby , sheis also expected to ap-pear in a reality pro-gram and a drama se-ries before 2015.
By Marinel R. Cruz
SHE has all the right to speak out. I’ddo the same thing if my husband wasfalsely accused of doing something il-legal,” said Judy Ann Santos in de-fense of fellow actor Sharon Cunetawho took to Twitter to defend hus-band Sen. Francis “Kiko” Pangilinanagainst allegations of involvement inthe pork barrel scam.
Cuneta was react-ing to Sen. Jinggoy Estrada’s privilegespeech where he men-tioned Pangilinan asamong the politicians
who misused the Pri-ority Development As-sistance Fund (PDAF).
Santos said, “I un-derstand what AteSharon is goingthrough. She merely expressed her viewsbecause the issue con-
cerned her husband.This is normal. I don’tthink people would re-act so much if she’s
just an ordinary personand not a celebrity.”
Close friendsSantos and Cuneta
became close friendsafter starring in the2002 family movie
Magkapatid.“People are taking
this against AteSharon, ’wag naman sana. She is just look-ing after the peopleshe cares for,” Santostold reporters duringthe press conferencelaunching her newestgame show on ABS-CBN, Bet on Your Baby (premieres tomorrow).
Santos said she hadalso been closely mon-itoring the pork barrelcontroversy, especially because the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR)filed a tax evasion caseagainst her in 2003.She was cleared of that case in January by the Court of Appeals.
“It is our duty topay taxes as Filipinos,but it’s also our re-sponsibility to know
where our hard-earned
money goes. I’m sad-
dened by what is hap-pening. My heart feelslike it’s going to ex-plode,” Santos said. “Ipaid [the penalty im-posed by the BIR] withmy blood, sweat and

Sharon confirms P10-M offer
ers. She initially suf-fered from a bit of “culture-shock” whentreated rudely by anonymous people
when she was just get-ting started on Twitter.
“I’ve figured outthat detractors will al-
ways find somethingnegative and fabricatestories about you. Idon’t mind them nowbecause I want to focusmore on the people
who really mat-ter—those who wantto know about your lifeand be updated about
your work,” she said.Cuneta, who has
been a TV5 talent formore than two yearsnow, has never beenmore inspired. A bigfactor, she said, wasthe appointment of Wilma Galvante aschief content officerfor entertainment andNoel Lorenzana as
president and chief executive officer.
“I felt their con-cern and sincerity.They want TV5 tomake it—not just forthemselves and theartists, but for all em-ployees of the net-
work,” she said.“Madam Chair-
man,” directed by JoelLamangan and writ-ten by Jose JavierReyes, is Cuneta’s very first teleserye. Sheplays Bebeth de Guz-man, a housewife andbusinesswoman whobecomes chair of herbarangay . It premiereson Oct. 14 at 7 p.m.

SHARON Cuneta was not kid-ding when she declared onTwitter recently that she would
leave former Sen. Francis “Kiko”Pangilinan and give P10 million incash to whoever would be able toprove that her husband misused hispork barrel funds, as alleged by Sen.Jinggoy Estrada in a privilege speech
at the Senate. Although she had
already deleted theheadline-grabbingtweet, Cuneta told en-tertainment reportersat a press conferencefor Madam Chairman,a comedy-drama se-ries to air soon onTV5: “I’ll stand by
what I’ve said till the
end of my days—hin-di magnanakaw angasawa ko.”
ConfidentThe Kapatid artist
said she was not say-ing she had P10 mil-lion; she would work to earn it if needed.“That’s just how con-fident I am,” shequipped, quickly adding with a laugh,“ Bakit hindi yata nila
pinansin ‘yung sinabikong iiwan ko ‘yungasawa ko?”
Known as “Megas-tar” in the industry,the actor-singer-hostmused that it was nat-ural for someone toreact in such a man-ner if her loved one
was accused of beingsomething he was not.“If you know your
husband well… aalmaka rin,” Cuneta said.“I believe [this is true]even if your husbandis not a politician.”
Asked whatPangilinan thought of her controversialtweet, Cuneta said hesimply laughed it off and thanked her forthe support. “He toldme, ‘Thank you sweet-
heart for your confi-
dence in me, but youdidn’t need to defendme.’ I said sorry!” sherelated. “We work hard, we love ourfamily, we’re not per-fect, but we’re happy.”
Ask Kiko
Perhaps to stopherself from revealingmore than necessary,
the 47-year-old starreminded everyone,“Don’t let ourselvesbe distracted from thereal issues—I won’tallow that.”
She added, “If youhave questions aboutKiko, I’m sure he willbe very capable of an-swering those when
we arrive at the truthabout the issue (pork barrel scam). You can
write down yourquestions; I will glad-ly answer them whenit’s all over.”
Cuneta begged off when asked if the is-sue affected her friend-ship with Estrada. Butin an earlier interviewat the TV5 tradelaunch, she admittedshe was surprised by Estrada’s claims.
“Jinggoy is a closefriend… I was shockedbecause I love him. If Ididn’t care for him, Iprobably wouldn’thave reacted,” shesaid. “But it’s OK, it’sall part of politics. Weall just want the truthto come out.”

PH caging right
on track–SternBy Jasmine W. Payo
A THRILLED basketball-mad nation witnessed a firstlast night.
So Pinoy fans couldn’t helpbut look forward to the NationalBasketball Association returningfor another preseason game, orpossibly, a regular season match.
A l t h o u g h c o m m i s s i o n e rDavid Stern didn’t exactly shootdown the idea, he admitted thateconomics will play a big partfor the NBA to stage a repeat of the blockbuster battle betweenthe Houston Rockets and the In-diana Pacers at Mall of Asia Are-na in Pasay City last night.
“It’s a little bit more problem-atic for regular season game be-cause of the high cost,” Sterntold the INQUIRER in a roundtablediscussion with selected media.
“But we’re always studying it. And I hope we’ll be returning atsome point in the not so distantfuture, whether it’s a friendly ora regular season game.”
Stern said, too, that the coun-try’s cage development is per-
fectly on track.“No one has to give advice to
the Philippines. It’s an intensebasketball country,” said Stern.
“Obviously there’s a lot of bas-ketball being played here. My guess is that one player or anoth-er will be scouted and be broughtto the colleges, see how they doand move up. So I don’t think theFilipino basketball community needs an advice from me.”
The NBA also made its pres-ence felt in the country in 1979
when the then Washington Bul-lets played an exhibition gameagainst the Philippine Basketball
Association (PBA) All-Stars.“I think the Philippine fans de-
serve it and they got it,” Stern saidof last night’s first preseason gamein Southeast Asia. “We’re gettingrobust reactions from our fans ona global basis. But the place thathas been really an extraordinary partner for us is the Philippines.”
