by Joseph Peter R. Conzalez Thursday, February 11, 2010 Jennylyn Mercado doesn’t want to get affected by the rumor that Angel Locsin has left the stable of Becky Aguila. “Well, it’s because that’s just between them. I’m not the type who will meddle with something which I don’t have anything to do with. Tita Becky and I don’t talk about matters regarding her other talents. We discuss things that concern my career,” Jen states. At present, Jen is still comfortable with her business relationship with Becky. “Yes, although I’m also being handled by Boss Vic del Rosario of Viva. It’s a co-management. Tita Becky takes care of my television projects while Boss Vic has the say when it comes to movies and recordings. So far, I’m okay with the set-up.” For the rest of the article, click here.

Angel Locsin bolts out of manager's stableManila Bulletin By ALEX VALENTIN BROSAS February 11, 2010, 9:31am So, it’s true after all: Angel Locsin has replaced her manager and discoverer Becky Aguila. For weeks now, Angel and Becky have been rumored to have severed their managerial ties. It was a favorite topic in showbiz events and it was being talked about in muted conversations. No one between the two spoke about the validity of the issue though. Until Angel, in her interview on "Showbiz News Ngayon" aired on February 10, 2010 confirmed that she has indeed bolted out of Becky’s management. “Ayaw ko lang parang masyadong i-highlight kasi ‘yung sa amin hindi naman issue, eh. Ayaw rin naming maging issue sa iba,” she explained. Her manager was hurt by her decision but has learned to accept it just the same. Angel cleared that everything’s still okay between her and Becky. “Nagtampo si Tita Becky, oo, siyempre pero hindi naman kami nag-aaway,” she said. Angel said it just took a while before she and Becky were able to iron things out. “Matagal na rin namin itong inaayos kaya lang naghahanap lang kami ng proper time.” The actress acknowledges Becky’s enormous help in her career. “Well, sa kanya ako nagsimula. ‘Di naman ako makakapasok sa showbiz kung hindi dahil sa kanya. Sa kanya ako nagkaroon ng daan,” she said. SNN host Boy Abunda clarified that he’s not the one whom Angel tapped to be her next manager. “Actually, mga kaibigan, humihingi ako ng pahintulot kung puwede kong sabihin sino ang bagong manager ni Angel Locsin. Pero, hahayaan ko na lang po na si Angel ang mag-announce. Pero hindi po ako. Patunay lamang po na hindi lahat ng usok ay may apoy,” Boy explained. A source told Manila Bulletin Entertainment Online that Ethel Ramos, manager of Aga Muhlach, is Angel's manager now. www.mb.com.ph/articles/242901/angel-locsin-bolts-out-managers-stable

Angel Locsin admits Luis wooing her anewby Reyma Buan-Deveza, abs-cbnNEWS.com | 02/11/2010 6:44 PM MANILA, Philippines – Luis Manzano is courting former girlfriend Angel Locsin again. Locsin made this admission during the launching of her latest endorsement “Mosbeau" in Greenhills, San Juan. "Hindi kami nagda-date pero madalas siya sa bahay. Hindi kami mag-on pero hindi din ako nakikipag-date. Pero masaya ako, masaya kami," Locsin said. Bad news for Manzano though. The actress said she is not yet ready to enter into a new relationship. Locsin added that she’s enjoying her single life right now. Manzano and Locsin have called it quits last year. The 2 refused to say what caused the break-up. Since then, Locsin has been romantically linked to different men, including 2009 CNN Hero of the Year Efren Peñaflorida. The actress has repeatedly maintained that she is not dating anybody, and that Peñaflorida, who courted her, is only a friend. New manager Meanwhile, Locsin confirmed that Ethel Ramos is her new talent manager. Locsin quickly added that she and her former manager, Becky Aguilar, are in good terms. "Wala namang isyu sa amin kaya sana hindi maging isyu sa ibang tao kasi sa amin nga wala." When asked why she chose Ramos, Locsin replied: "Kasi may pinagsamahan kami ni Tita Becky, si Manay (Ramos) nirerespeto din niya si Tita Becky. So, ayaw naming pag-usapan kung why. Basta siyempre parang moving on lang lahat pero walang isyu sa amin." No to political endorsement Like other celebrities, there are also offers for Locsin to endorse political candidates, but the actress said she turned them down. “Hanggang ngayon ay lost pa din ako. Kasi malayo pa din naman ang eleksyon. At kahit sabihin natin ngayon na may nakikita kita na ako, pero marami pa kasing mangyayari," she said. During the 2007 elections, Locsin endorsed Nacionalista Party standard-bearer Manny Villar, who then ran for senator. Villar eventually won a Senate seat. -Reyma Buan-Deveza, abs-cbnNEWS.com as of 02/11/2010 6:56 PM abs-cbnnews.com/entertainment/02/11/10/angel-locsin-admits-luis-wooing-her-anew

Angel Locsin out of “Kokey at Ako?”by: Edgar O. Cruz | STIR Editor In Chief 11 Feb 2010 | 09:51 AM “Ang alam ko siya pa rin,” director Wenn Deramas answers when asked if Angel Locsin is still Vhong Navarro’s leading lady in “Kokey at Ako” set to start shoot on Monday, Feb. 15. This turned doubtful when Angel revealed yesterday that she’s taping a new drama series with John Lloyd Cruz on April 5 and a movie with Aga Muhlach under Star Cinema with Olive Lamasan as director on Mar 15. At ABS-CBN, it can’t be that an actor will shoot two drama series one after the other specially there’s a movie overlap. STIR suspects Angel has been taken out of “Kokey at Ako” which Wenn has not been told about. Angel is starring with Jake Cuenca in Saturday’s “Maalaala Mo Kay” episode. www.stir.ph/LM/articles~level2/id-1265852957157_1/Angel_Locsin_out_of_Kokey_at_Ako.html

Why can’t Angel’s new manager be announced?by: Edgar O. Cruz | STIR Editor In Chief 11 Feb 2010 | 10:12 AM STIR had broadly hinted that Ethel Ramos is Angel Locsin’s new manager by referring to her as “respected talent manager” last Monday. How do I know? Manay Ethel has confirmed the new set up to me but I have been requested by her not to write about it. STIR feels free to write about it now as a tab affiliated with the “Philippine Daily Inquirer” has let the cat out of the bag, so to speak. Angel originally wanted Boy Abunda as business manager but Star Cinema has a different idea about it. It wanted Manay Ethel who is Star Cinema and ABS-CBN public relations consultant for the longest time. Manay Ethel has been talking to anybody wanting anything from Angel. Why can’t Manay Ethel come out in the open? The buzz is Becky Aguila, Angel’s ex-manager, is the reason. She can’t accept that she’s losing her prime talent. She has a reason to feel this way as she made Angel into the big star that she is today, even maneuvered Angel’s controversial transfer from GMA-7 to ABS-CBN as the Kapamilya network wanted her. But Becky’s sad situation is that Angel did not renew their managerial contract when it lapsed, leaving her free to switch managers. As a professional talent manager, Manay Ethel can’t just take over without the ex-manager’s consent. www.stir.ph/LM/articles~level2/id-1265853560508_1/view_articles.html

Angel Locsin says Ethel Ramos is her new managerby Bernie Franco | February 11, 2010 11:54 AM Angel Locsin admitted that talent manager and columnist Ethel Ramos is her new manager, finally ending speculations if she will renew contract with long-time manager Becky Aguila. The actress however clarified that she will still finish some existing old business contracts with Aguila, but clarified that they haven’t had a talent-manager contract for a long time now. “’Yung mga old contracts ko po na hanggang sa matapos, siya (Aguila) pa rin [ang magha-handle]. ‘Yun ‘yung mga iba. Pero may mga bago naman na kay Manay (Ethel) na po,” explained Angel during the press launch of Mosbeau, where she was officially launched as the face of the skin whitening product. She, however, refused to elaborate about her decision to change managers, pointing out that this is out of respect to Aguila who handled most of her career. “Si Manay din naman nirerespeto niya si Tita Becky, so ayaw naming pag-usapan kung bakit [ako nagpalit]. Basta siyempre parang moving on lang lahat, pero walang isyu sa amin so sana hindi rin maging issue sa iba.” She also added that her recent decision has the blessing of Malou Santos, managing director of Star Cinema, the film outfit where Angel is currently signed up. On a personal note, Angel confirmed that ex-boyfriend Luis Manzano is courting her again, and that the actor-host sometimes pays her a visit at home. “Ang sinabi ko lang sa kanya (Luis) na masaya ako na ganito (single) muna ako. Kung kami naman, kami. Gusto ko munang makasigurado [sa feelings namin],” shared Angel. She also said that she continues to have constant communication with CNN Hero of the Year Efren Peñaflorida, who has expressed his intention to court the actress. “Hindi naman siya nanligaw. Nagpaalam siya pero sinagot ko siya na kilalanin muna namin ang isa’t-isa so friends kami. Enjoy lang talaga ako ngayon,” said Angel. Angel stressed how much he admires Efren for being optimistic and that she is affected whenever detractors bring up nasty rumors about him. “Positive na tao kaya ganon kataas ang respeto ko. Medyo nalulungkot ako kapag may naririnig akong hindi masyadong magandang comments tungkol sa kanya. Sa totoo lang naman andami niyang natulungang tao tsaka kahit hindi tulong, ‘yung mga may nai-inspire lang tayong Pilipino na gumawa ng mabuti, ibang bagay na ‘yon.” For Valentine’s Day, Angel said that she will go out-of-town with celebrity friends such as Cristine Reyes. www.abs-cbn.com/Feature/Article/6550/Angel-Locsin-says-Ethel-Ramos-is-her-new-manager.aspx

In tough times, women buy lipstick By Cheche V. Moral Philippine Daily Inquirer DateFirst Posted 22:05:00 02/12/2010 This much-favored makeup brand sells nine lip colors a minute-in RP alone IF A BEAUTY COMPANY sells, on average, nine lipsticks a minute, do the math, and that’s a whole lot of lipsticks sold daily in one country alone. That’s the actual amount of lip color Avon Philippines claims to sell in a day. It also sells seven pressed powders a minute, bolstering its claim as the country’s No. 1 makeup brand of choice. The previous year was especially propitious for Avon, said Mari Ann Barsabal-Soliven. The company benefited from the so-called “lipstick index,” which means simply, women go out for small pleasures like lipstick when the economy is down. Barsabal-Soliven, Avon Color and Personal Care category head for Southeast Asia, said the company’s makeup sales for the country grew by double figures in 2009. “We are overwhelmed by the support of Filipino women,” she said in a statement. “More than ever, we are committed to come up with innovative beauty products that are attuned to global beauty trends, high in quality but still very accessible for the Filipino consumers.” Accessibility, it seems, has been key to the brand’s success. While it has kept up with trade trends, it has also kept its price points affordable to most women. Mineral makeup, the rage in recent years since it doesn’t contain chemicals and fragrances that tend to irritate skin and clog pores, has been a particular hit since Avon introduced its own line here last year. Apart from being 100-percent natural like mineral makeup from expensive designer brands, the Smooth Mineral Collection is cheaper by nearly half compared to popular drugstore brands, said Barsabal-Soliven. Sleek Not only that, the brand has also repackaged its makeup to give it a more high-end look. The pressed powder from the Ideal Shade Collection, for instance, comes in a sleek black square compact with smooth, rounded edges that called to mind a French designer brand, minus the latter’s velvet pouch. The dual powder foundation comes in a similar case. They retail at P395 and P499, respectively, a fraction of the price of the French brand. The Smooth Mineral line comes in nifty little packages that include, say, a built-in kabuki face brush for the powder foundation, and similar applicators for the blush and eye shadow. Not too shabby for P499 (powder foundation) and P399 (blush, shadow). Introduced late last year, Ideal Shade claims to answer Filipino women’s quest for foundations and powders that perfectly match their skin tone, as it has a color range for fair, dusky and yellow-toned complexions. Its Preciselight Technology, Avon claims, contains “pearls” that adjust to light, so that one’s natural skin tone shows under any light. It’s a 98-percent match at all times, said Barsabal-Soliven. The Philippines is Avon’s No. 1 market in Asia and one of the direct-selling brand’s top global markets, according to Avon’s Faith Aranton. Its local face is actress Angel Locsin, while its global ambassador is America’s sweetheart Reese Witherspoon.The brand’s makeup consultant is celebrity makeup artist Jillian Dempsey, wife of Hollywood actor Patrick Dempsey. lifestyle.inquirer.net/fashionandbeauty/fashionandbeauty/view/20100212-252666/In-tough-times-women-buy-lipstick

SANGA-SANGANDILA Ni Veronica R. Samio (Pilipino Star Ngayon) Updated February 12, 2010 12:00 AM Totoong-totoong wala na sina Angel Locsin at ang matagal na niyang manager na si Becky Aguila.

Tapos iba na ang manager niya. Pero wala ka namang mahahalatang anuman kay Angel. Katunayan, she appeared at ease and more beautiful sa launching ng Mosbeau, isang food supplement na anti-aging and whitening agent the same time. Non-relevant parts omitted.

It’s time to let go and move on...by Vinia Vivar Thursday, 11 February 2010 17:48 Kaugnay ng hiwalayang Angel Locsin-Becky Aguila, nagbigay ng pahayag ang nasabing talent manager hinggil sa issue at narito ang kanyang statement: “Nag-usap kami nang maayos ni Angel. Napagkasunduan naming dalawa ang maghiwalay. Mutual decision. “Malalim ang pinagsamahan namin ni Angel. Magkasama kami sa hirap at ginhawa for eight years. Marami kaming pagsubok na dinaanan. May hangganan ang lahat. Nothing permanent except change. Basta ang importante ay naghiwalay kami nang maayos. “Bago kami naghiwalay, naisara ko pa ang netwok contract (sa ABS-CBN), Myra and F&H (Folded & Hung) renewals. “For the rest of the commercial inquiries and endorsement renewals, ipinasa ko na kay Angel para si Manay Ethel na ang makipag-negotiate with the clients. “I wish Angel and Manay Ethel good luck sa team-up nila. I know Angel is in good hands. Isa ring kagalang-galang na haligi ng showbiz si Manay Ethel kaya alam ko na maaalagaan niya si Angel kagaya ng pagmamahal at pag-aaruga na ibinigay ko sa kanya nu’ng kami pa. “Ang importante sa isang samahan ay ang meeting of the hearts and minds. It’s time to let go and move on, part ways as friends and wish each other good luck for good karma. Salamat po sa inyong pang-unawa.” Isa kami sa mga nalulungkot sa hiwalayan ng dalawa dahil nakita namin kung paano nakipaglaban noon si Tita Becky para kay Angel, lalo na nang kalilipat lang ng young actress sa ABS-CBN at katakut-takot ang birang natanggap nila. But since pareho silang nagsasabing maayos ang kanilang hiwalayan at mutual decision ito, we wish them both well sa kanilang bagong landas na tatahakin. Other parts omitted.

Thursday, 11 February 2010 19:01 Online Journal Gerry Ocampo HINDI na talaga si Becky Aguila ang manager ni Angel Locsin dahil nang mag-endorso ito ng isang brand ng beauty care ay walang Becky Aguila siyang kasama. Para makumpirma sa dating manager, tinanong ng ilang reporter si Becky para alamin kung darating sa naturang okasyon. Isang smile lang daw ang naging tugon ni Madam Becky, meaning wala na nga sa poder niya si Angel. Ayon naman sa aming source, dalawang iginagalang sa showbiz ang magha-handle ng showbiz career ni Angel. Kundi daw si Ethel Ramos ay si Boy Abunda, pero sa SNN ay itinanggi na si Boy na siya ang bagong manager ni Angel. Other parts omitted. For the rest of the article, click here.

Online Journal by Nitz Miralles Thursday, 11 February 2010 17:49 Nagulat si Joross Gamboa sa nalamang sumunod si Angel Locsin sa kanya na umalis kay Becky Aguila at si Ethel Ramos na ang manager. Wala siyang mai-comment dahil sa press lang nalaman ang tungkol dito. Siya nama’y si Noel Ferrer ang manager, na ipinagpaalam niya kay Becky bago pa kausapin ang bagong manager. Nabanggit daw niya kay Becky na gusto niyang lumipat kay Noel at agad namang pumayag. Hindi rin nagsisi si Joross sa desisyon ng bagong manager na ilipat siya sa GMA-7 dahil sunud-sunod ang shows niya sa Kapuso network. Other parts omitted.

Angel Locsin has a new managerThursday, February 11, 2010 KAPAMILYA star and endorser Angel Locsin finally broke her silence on issues regarding her decision to leave the management team of Becky Aguila. In a television interview, Angel said she doesn't want to create news out of it and tried to keep mum on the issue. “Ayaw ko lang i-highlight yung news kasi sa amin eh hindi naman issue, ayaw din namin maging issue sa iba, nag good luck pa sya sa akin sa project na to,” she said. Angel added that there was no tension between her and Aguila. “Napagusapan na po namin and ang tagal na din po naming inaayos, pero naghahanap lang po kami ng proper time.” The actress said she will forever be grateful for Aguila's help especially in her professional career. “Sa kanya ako nagsimula, hindi naman ako makakapasok sa showbiz kung hindi dahil sa kanya.” Days before the statement made by Angel, news circulated that the King of Talk Boy Abunda will handle her. In the same show that aired the interview of Angel, Abunda confirmed that he is not the new manager of Angel and doesn't have any liberty to announce who will handle the actress. “Angel wala kang ginawa masama sa akin, I understand and I love you. Hihintayin namin ang iyong announcement and magkaroon ka ng viable partnership,” Boy told Angel. During the press conference of the newest endorsement of Angel Thursday afternoon, the actress finally announced her new manager. Angel from now on will be under the supervision of talent manager Ethel Ramos who is also handling Aga Muhlach. But Angel was still mum on projects lined up for her by Ramos. She said though that she is happy with her new handler. (Glaiza Jarloc/Sunnex) www.sunstar.com.ph/manila/angel-locsin-has-new-manager

Angel and Becky got tired fighting!by: Edgar O. Cruz | STIR Editor In Chief 12 Feb 2010 | 10:30 AM What’s the real cause of Angel Locsin and talent manager Becky Aguila’s break-up falsely reported by a tab, broadsheet and an entertainment website (not STIR). Becky called up STIR at around 1 a.m. today to explain the reason she gave up management of Angel Locsin. She says, “Kahapon lang ako nag-decide to talk. Ayoko na sana (to talk) pero dami nangulit. Since nagsalita na si Angel, naglabas na din ako (ng side ko). Sobrang malungkot ako.” She ends, “Yun na lang muna. Baka kung ano pa ang masabi ko. Ayaw ni Angel na nagsasalita ako (sa media).” Why did she agree to break with Angel? It’s explained in the SMS she farmed out yesterday, which STIR is quoting in full, unedited: “Nag-usap kaming maayosa ni Angel. Napagkasunduan naming dalawang maghiwalay. Mutual decision. Malalim ang pinagsamahan ni Angel. Magkasama kami sa hirap at ginhawa for eight years. Marami kaming pagsubok na dinaanan. May hangganan ang lahat. Nothing permanent except change. Basta ang importante ay naghiwalay kami ng maayos. “Bago kami naghiwalay, naisara ko pa network contract (sa ABS-CBN), Myra-E, FNH (Folded N Hung) renewals, ipinasa ko na kay Angel para si Manay Ethel (Ramos) na ang makipag-negotiate with the clients. “I wish Angel and Manay Ethel good luck sa team-up nila. I know Angel is in good hands. Isa ring kagalang-galang na haligi ng showbiz si Manay Ethel kaya alam ko mapapangalagaan niya si Angel kagaya ng pagmamahal at pag-aaaruga na ibinigay ko sa kanya noong kami pa. Marami na kaming hindi napagkakansunduan. May sarili nang ideas at konsepto si Angel na naiintindihan ko naman kasi she’s so young...Life goes on. Ang importante sa isang samahan ay meeting of the hearts and minds. It’s time to let go and move on. Part ways as good friends and wish each other good luck for good karma. Salamat po sa inyong pang-unawa.” This confirms STIR’s scoop about Angel’s decision to part ways with Becky and switch manager to Manay Ethel Ramos. STIR insists that Angel is the source of its scoop about Boy Abunda as her new business manager. But because Star Cinema in which she’s a contract artists wants Manay Ethel to manage her, Angel had to change her mind. Angel can easily do this as she has valid managerial contract with Becky. But a STIR squealer points out the real reason: “I guess it’s patung-patong na irritants over the years. Walang specific incident. Sa tingin ko, it boils down to where her career is going. At tsaka away-bati naman sila. Siguro napagod na lang pareho.” www.stir.ph/LM/articles~level2/id-1265941735682_1/Angel_and_Becky_got_tired_fighting.html
