Megastar Sharon Cuneta is tired and frustrated of the rumored infidelity of her husband, Sen. Kiko Pangilinan, that she even thought of giving a reward money of from P5-10 Million to anyone who can prove the crazy rumors that Sen. Pangilinan has fathered a child not hers. Then the megastar better start preparing that reward money now, because someone maybe emboldened enough to take her dare. An anonymous Tipster claims to have personal knowledge of the girl named “Michelle”, a then Law Student who was on the Senator’s staff. The Megastar may not realize it but people may not be too forward because they are afraid of the consequences, morally, ethically, politically and of course, criminally.

In any case, this what the Mega said in her interview with ace columnist and actor Rey Pumaloy: “Kasi naiinis ako yung mga lumabas na, alam mo na, yung mga intriga nung huli na medyo OA. Ang dami kasing nagdudunung-dunungan. Yun na lang sabihin ko na isang bagay naman na normal na nangyayari, parang pinalaki. Actually, gusto ko ngang magbigay ng prize!

Seven years nang senador ang asawa ko. Wala nang sinabi ang mga tao kundi merong babae, may pamilya na… Itong age na ito, meron nang MMS, SMS, may Internet… Bakit naman kung mayaman kang kalaban ni Kiko sa pulitika, o kahit hindi ka mayaman, basta’t marami kang resources, di ba? Yung parang ang dali-daling ipahanap kung meron.

Nakakatawa, kasi napagod ako sa kakaintriga sa akin. Tingnan mo, I’m not even touching the actual subject. Kasi ang feeling ko, gagawa sila ng mga… Alam mo yung tipong lampas sa langit na yung mga imbento na sobrang dagdag, tapos nanganganak pa, di ba?

Gagawa sila ng ganon, tapos ang nakakatawa, lalapit sila sa iyo para mag-interview. Bakit ko lilinawin yung isinulat ninyo? Ang labo ninyo! Feeling ko, pakitapos na lang para mabasa ko naman yung ending. So, basta, nakakainis! Kaya umalis ako, napagod ako.

Parang I just realized, dyusko naman, parang 30 years in the business, siguro naman I’ve earned already a little… Parang sabi ko, dapat graduate na ako doon. Siguro, I’ve earned a little, kahit a little man lang respect, na parang hindi na ako dapat ginagawan ng istorya. Tapos ako yung maglilinaw ng hindi ko naman ginawa, di ba? Nakakaloka!

Na-realized ko ‘yan. Parang teka muna, masyado naman akong nice sa ibang tao na parang lalapit, ‘O, okey ‘tong mga ito, a!

Kasi ang bilis, e. Sa showbiz naman kasi… Dyusko naman, Rey, buhay ng isang mag-asawa… I mean, we’ve been married for 12 years, together 14 [years], di ba? Sa buhay ng mag-asawa, talagang may nangyayaring hindi pagkakaunawaan, away, LQ. Some, mas matindi sa iba.

Pero parang ang feeling ko, bakit agad-agad? Kunyari, nag-away kayo, hindi yata’t napakabilis na agad na naikalat? Na never na nangyari ‘yon sa 12 years na pagsasama namin. So, siyempre, ang feeling ko lang, people know that Kiko’s strength, first and foremost, is his family, e. So, lagi kami doon tinitira, e.

Yung lang, I don’t wanna talk about what happened. Kasi it was really… Dyusko, 12 years! Ilang beses nag-aaway ang mag-asawa? Katakataka naman na na-single out, kunyari ‘etong panahon na ito, aba naman, may nanganganak, may nadagdag, babae na!

Please, tell me the truth, tell me what you think? Kung may babae si Kiko, will I take it? I did not leave my first husband [Gabby Concepcion] para magtiis. I’d rather live alone. Wala nga akong kapera-pera noon, kinaya kong mabuhay kami ni KC [Concepcion, Sharon's eldest daughter] lang. Ngayon pang nakaipon na ako at trenta anyos na ako sa showbiz?

Di ba, parang ini-insist nila? Humihingi ako ng pruweba, kahit five to ten million cash, ipabibigay ko doon sa tao. Nakakairita! Pengeng ebidensiya! Sige, isasanla ko asawa ko, magbibigay ako ng cash!

Sa totoo lang, you know, I’m transparent. Even if I smile, you see me being lonely, and you’ll se me lonely and angry if something like that serious, you know, something I was going through.

Basta, gusto kong mag-reward para lang matapos na, patayin mo na yung rumors. Basta magbibigay ako ng reward. Penge naman [ng ebidensiya]! Ang tagal, di ba?”

Sharon Cuneta is indeed one of the richest Philippine Celebrity out there, in fact if Forbes magazine would have a list of one, the Megastar Sharon Cuneta would top the list with Kris Aquino following very closely. The Baghag is reporting that the Mega is carrying a ” A Hermes crocodile (porosus) birkin in the 35cm size costs well over Php 1.9M (US$40,000+) and the “Ate Shaowie” has one ;).” Yes, the must have Birkin Bag for the well to do. But i guess money can’t buy happiness or so it seems. Sharon Cuneta is besieged with separation rumors from husband Sen. Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan. And the Birkin bag photo above was snapped upon Sharon’s arrival from Hongkong where she reportedly tried to mend her broken heart. Gossip abounds that the Megastar Sharon Cuneta has finally discovered what is the alleged truth about the rumored affair with Kiko and her former secretary in his Senate office. And that she left in haste after earning about this, together with her children and close confidantes to Hongkong. To which Sen. Kiko Pangilinan, when interviewed said, there was no truth to the rumors, Sharon left for Hongkong with daughter KC Concepcion and some close friends, to do her annual Christmas shopping. Me, I’m just happy to get a new flat screen TV this Christmas after reading all about it in the big screen center blog.

When Sharon Cuneta arrived in Manila, she did not categorically denied the frenzied news story but said that “mali mali ang balita, like kasama nya ang lahat ng anak to HK, which turned out to be not true, so dun pa lang, mali mali na ang lumalabas.”

Because of so many complains on the results, particularly from Angel Locsin fans, YES! Magazine through Summit Media President Ms. Lisa Gokongwei-Cheng, answered the hullaballoo:

“I have spoken to Ms. Maglipon, our Editor-in-Chief, and this is how they computed for the results. They actually counted the number of endorsements that Ms. Locsin has 12 active endorsements and then asked around the industry about her talent fee. The YES! team then multiplied the number of endorsements versus the rate card in order to come out with an annual number. Please read YES! and tell us if we got the number of endorsements wrong. If you can give us facts, we will definitely print your letter and admit our error.”
