Top 5 searches in yahoo philippines - 4th

  • Anne Curtis' wardrobe malfunction -- which happened while she was performing a dance number for the summer special of ABS-CBN's Sunday variety show "ASAP XV" in Boracay last March -- made her even more popular in Yahoo! Philippines Search. The photos of her faulty bikini top went viral on the Web and were even published in tabloids. This disheartened Curtis, but she chose to just move on. Sam Milby, her ex-boyfriend and leading man in "Babe, I Love You," denied that the bikini brouhaha was just a publicity stunt for their movie.
    Anne also did a movie, "In Your Eyes," with another ex-boyfriend, Richard Gutierrez, and Claudine Barretto. While Curtis shone in this movie, she was worried that her love scenes with Gutierrez would cause problems with her boyfriend Erwan Heussaff, a Filipino-French businessman.
    Fortunately, Curtis revealed that her fears were unfounded. She told the Philippine Daily Inquirer: "If you follow me on Twitter, you'll see that we're okay." She added that she's learned that it's best not to talk too much about a non-showbiz partner.
    The Showtime host is set to star in ABS-CBN's remake of the Korean drama "Green Rose."

  • Shaina Magdayao became hot copy when it was revealed that she was actor John Lloyd Cruz's new girlfriend. In the past, the actor, who was already hot copy himself, had dated actress Ciara Sotto, stylist Liz Uy, and actress Ruffa Gutierrez. Cruz came clean in June and told The Buzz host Boy Abunda that he and Magdayao were indeed a couple.
    But it seemed that not everyone was happy for Magdayao and Cruz. In September, a nasty rumor about the two being caught in a compromising position began making the rounds. As the crazy story goes, Cruz and Magdayao were brought to a hospital in Quezon City because of a case of "penis captivus." The story likewise emphasized that they had to undergo a surgical procedure so that they could be pulled apart.
    In a press conference, Magdayao told the press, "I think it's the most outrageous chismis ever sa industriya natin."
    Unfortunately, the online mob had a ball with the X-rated rumor. In forums, users hiding behind pseudonyms claimed to know people who had personally witnessed Magdayao and Cruz being rushed to the hospital because of their so-called compromising position.

  • This year, the Queen of All Media attempted to stay out of the spotlight after her brother was elected president. Alas -- whether by accident or by design -- she always managed to be the center of attention.
    Just before the nation celebrated the ninth anniversary of EDSA 2 in January, Kris Aquino was busy denying that she created a commotion at the house of Mayen Austria, a fan of her husband, basketball player James Yap.
    A few days before the anniversary of the People Power Revolution in February, Aquino was confined at the Makati Medical Center after slipping in the shower and having high blood pressure.
    While campaigning for her brother, Aquino said that in the event of Noynoy's victory, she would be willing to leave the country to make sure that she didn't cause problems in his administration. When it became apparent that her brother would be the next president, Aquino's critics called on her to leave the Philippines via Facebook hate pages.
    Aquino ignored her critics. Instead, she announced she was leaving her showbiz talk shows -- "The Buzz" and "Showbiz News Ngayon" -- to avoid creating controversies during her brother's presidency. She also said on June 19 that she would temporarily quit using Twitter.
    Aquino didn't lie low for long. Her controversial interviews were still featured on The Buzz. Aquino's Twitter hiatus lasted barely two months. By August 8, she was back on the social networking site, justifying her return by saying that "we live in a democracy."
    Three days before her brother formally stepped in as the country's new president, Aquino said she was giving up on her marriage to Yap.
    Then, as the nation commemorated the first death anniversary of her mother, former President Cory Aquino, "The Buzz" aired an interview where she denied pregnancy rumors. She also explained why she separated from Yap by reciting lines from the song "It Must Have Been Love." She went on to say that she was open to the idea of dating Junjun Binay, the mayor of Makati.
    Two days before the 27th death anniversary of former Senator Ninoy Aquino, Kris faced Yap in court to discuss visitation rights for their son James Jr., nicknamed "Bimby." On the eve of the meeting, she tweeted that for their son's sake, she'll be friends with James.
    On her brother's 100th day in office, Kris tweeted that she and her sons are all infected with foot and mouth disease and would be in isolation for at least a week.
    As veteran director Jose Javier Reyes once said, "Kris Aquino existing away from the limelight is like fish living out of water." But Archbishop Socrates Villegas had this advice for Kris: "You will find your real happiness, as your mother did, not in being in the limelight, but by being the spotlight lighting the face of Jesus."

  • Willie Revillame's tiff with a fellow ABS-CBN talent Jobert Sucaldito spelled the end of his popular variety show "Wowowee" and led to a bitter legal battle with the network. Revillame wanted Sucaldito fired for making disparaging comments about "Wowowee" contestants. When the network didn't kick out Sucaldito, Revillame took a leave of absence. Eventually, Wowowee was replaced by "Pilipinas Win na Win."
    Despite the fact that his contract with ABS-CBN lasts until September 2011, Revillame signed with TV5. In September, TV5 announced that Revillame would be hosting a primetime variety show called "Willing Willie." ABS-CBN failed to secure a temporary restraining order against the show.
    On the third week of "Willing Willie," Revillame welcomed as co-host Valenzuela City councilor Shalani Soledad, who had just ended her relationship with President Noynoy Aquino. It was an interesting alliance because Revillame had supported Manny Villar in the 2010 presidential race.

  • Many of the 91,008 examinees who took the nursing board exam this year, as well as their friends and relatives, logged on to Yahoo! Philippines in August to search for the results of the licensure test.
    Only 37,679 of the examinees made it, and Rayan Oliva, Ateneo de Naga's reigning Mr. Nursing, is one of them. He is also the first male topnotcher in three years. "I had mixed emotions. I was happy, overwhelmed," Oliva said.
    Meanwhile, the Department of Labor and Employment said the Philippines now has an oversupply of nurses. Apparently, the overseas demand for the job has declined.

    Marian Rivera remains one of the most-searched celebrities in Yahoo! Philippines this year. The Kapuso actress had her hands full with telenovelas, a movie, and endorsements. But she also had her share of controversies.
    After playing the Filipina superhero "Darna," Marian starred in the Philippine remake of the Korean drama "Endless Love" with her real-life leading man, Dingdong Dantes. The couple flew to Spain to meet Rivera's father in February. They also did a movie, "You To Me Are Everything," and were featured in a number of commercials together. Dongyan, as their fans call the pair, also helped in the presidential campaign of Noynoy Aquino.
    While Rivera and Dantes are now more open to talking about their relationship, news reports and blind items portrayed Rivera as a jealous girlfriend. Earlier in the year, she reportedly had a tiff with Rhian Ramos, Dantes' leading lady in GMA-7's remake of the Korean telenovela "Stairway to Heaven." In August, Marian's alleged confrontation with "Endless Love" co-star Bela Padilla helped the latter gain more exposure. Other reports warned reality TV contestant and model Sam Pinto not to get too close to Dantes so as not to provoke Rivera’s ire. For his part, Dantes said he's very happy with Rivera.
    Rivera's imperfect English had also become the subject of jokes in this country full of little brown Americans. Her "Isa po akong psychology (I am psychology)" remark created buzz in cyberspace, with haters even calling her names.
    Rivera has kept her chin up in the face of the negative press. When Yahoo! Philippines asked her what she considers the most important accomplishment in her career so far, she said "Pinakamahalaga sa akin, minahal ako ng tao bilang ako, na tinanggap nila ako nang buong-buo (The most important thing is that people love me just as I am, that they’ve accepted me wholeheartedly)."
    Indeed, as feminist writer Katrina Stuart Santiago wrote, "If there's anything that Marian has taught us, it's that we could use a little less shame and a lot more realness, a little less insecurity and a whole lot more confidence."
