Sinabi ni Presiden-tial spokesperson Ed-win Lacierda na hindipa iniisip ng Mala-cañang ang pagsak-law sa PAL.
“Right now, it’s be-ing handled at theCabinet level. Thereare three secretariesinvolved there. Sohopefully we’ll beable to come up with
a resolution at thelevel of the Cabinet.Beyond that, we’renot discussing any-thing about interven-tion by the Presi-dent,” ani Lacierda saisang press briefing.

Buboy wants Sunsto record an albu
Shine comes from a family ofmusicians. No night is completein Buboy and Shine’s resto, Bel-lisimo, without a song or twofrom Shine.
During our recent dinnerthere, we requested Shine to singOPM classics that would be partof her album, if it materializes.Of course it will include a duetwith Buboy.
Shine surprised Buboy on hisbirthday with an Hermes beltand three pairs of True Religionjeans. “Ubos ang savings ko,”Shine says, laughing. “But I loveseeing him happy. His birthdaygift to me na dream bag ko, sixmonths to a year pa ang delivery.Advantage daw for him so he cansave up for it.”
When Buboy and Shine’shearts are in it, the sky’s the lim-it!
OverjoyedMariel Rodriguez is over-
joyed about Pilipinas Win naWin, her new show with KrisAquino, Robin Padilla, ValerieConcepcion and Pokwang. “I ampressured and excited,” she gush-es. “All the emotions are in. I’mgrateful that ABS-CBN is givingme the opportunity to give joyand total fun to noontime view-ers.”
Doesn’t she feel guilty thatWowowee’s main host Willie Re-villame isn’t part of the show? “Irespect the decision of the net-work,” she says. “I am just a sol-dier following orders.”
Isn’t she wary of clashing withKris, who is Binoe’s ex and shehis current girl? “Ate Kris is likean older sister to me,” Mariel ex-plains. “I love her dearly.” But itgoes without saying that sheloves Binoe more.
Mega-dramamoments
Sharon Cuneta was in her el-ement when Ruffa Gutierrez in-
terviewed her in Paparazzi. TheMegastar is all agog over her lat-est album with Sony Music,Musika at Pag-ibig, and her majorconcert, Megadrama at theAraneta Coliseum on Aug 7.
Both the album and the con-cert pay tribute to OPM songsand Pinoy composers. Megadra-ma will be a retelling of Sharon’sstory: an actress, a mother, awife, a daughter, a friend—wo-ven with parallel stories, told in
different ways.What are the most mega-dra-
ma moments of her life? She re-calls: “When I separated fromGabby, my split-up with RichardGomez, and the long wait ifKiko would be Senate President.”What’s her reaction to Piolo Pas-cual’s son Inigo’s alleged KCConcepcion-bashing on Twitter?“Babae ang sa akin so siyempre Ineed to protect KC,” she says.
“Knowing Piolo, if ever it’s truena anak nga niya nag-tweet,he will do something aboutit. I’ll just wait for him tocome around.” Atta MegaMama!
