Sinabi ni Banayo na isangmilyong sako lang ng bigas angmagagamit ng DSWD.

“Our bodegas have 41 mil-lion tons of rice which is equiv-alent to a 57-day stock,” dagdagpa niya.

Hopefully, Marielis Robin’s last love

I couldn’t stop laughing asmy mind went on flashbackmode. I’m sure all the girls whogot involved with Binoe (checkout Star Studio’s August issuefor the complete casting) havetheir own stories to tell.

Been there, felt that. I’m sin-cerely happy for Binoe andMariel. Hopefully, it’s the lasttime Binoe falls in love. Happi-ness could not have found a

more deserving couple.

Real score?Although someone close to

Rayver Cruz told me thatCristine Reyes is already theyoung actor’s girlfriend, shecontinues to deny it. Or is shejust wary of admitting the realscore between them because itmight affect her team-up withZanjoe Marudo?

Who’s the boyfriend materi-al? “Neither. They’re just mygood friends.” What’s the great-est love lesson she has learnedso far? “To love myself first be-fore I love someone else.”

Makes me wonder how lovecan be a teacher when heartscan never be taught. When Cu-pid hits us, we unlearn all thelessons and start from A again.

How’s that for Love 101?I must have a master’s de-

gree on that already, but beingthe romantic fool that I am, Inever really learn. I just chargeit to experience.

Career moveMr. Fu got emotional when

he finally confirmed that he’sleaving the station that gavehim his first break to start anew masa station soon.

He explained that moneywas one consideration but itwas more of a career move forhim to evolve as a radio person-ality.

When I cornered him at ourViva Cinema Channel showStop, Talk and Listen, he re-vealed that his new home willbe 103.5 WOW FM, to belaunched on Aug. 23. His pro-gram will still be in the primetime morning slot.

No doubt, Mr. Fu will outdohimself and wow his avid listen-ers even more with his uniquebrand of wit and humor.

By Dolly Anne Carvajal

I C AND I watched the super kilig one-on-one inter-view of Mariel Rodriguez and Robin Padilla on E-Live. When Binoe gave Mariel a diamond ring as

his birthday gift and said, “Ngayon lang ako nagbigayng ring.” IC teased me. “So what did Binoe give younung kayo pa, ma?”
