Unquestionably, Daniel Padilla’s rose to number one teen actor-singer in a short span of time have sparked talks that he turns swell-headed. Much more so with his recent starrer still draws long queues in Philippine theaters and abroad. Not to mention the spreading words that his Parking 5 Band has disbanded duo to his attitude problem.
Nevertheless, Daniel himself and the members of the Parking 5 group JC Padilla, Les Espinosa, Seth Gothico and Kats Kabe brash it off. As Daniel expounded, “Even as a child, lagi akong may air of humility. And coming from a showbiz clan, I know the after effects of arrogance instilled in a celebrity’s mind. I’ll never fall to it. I believe that one should be humble if he is successful.”
“It’s not true too my acts led to the disbanding of Parking 5. Magpapahinga muna kami at ang iba busy sa studies nila, There’s no conflict whatsoever among us. We promise to come back soon in a better level.”
The other Parking 5 members chorused the same sentiment, adding that the gossip that one of them posted Daniel’s photo while smoking and drinking a seamy accusation for its baseless.
Kuya Germs Mediates between Aljur and GMA-7 bigwigs
At this writing, the misunderstanding that taps Aljur Abrenica and GMA-7 management has yet to be settled. This ignited upon Aljur’s admission to the media he wants to be released from the said network albeit his contract remains valid up to 2017. His disgruntled words against the said station reportedly irked its bigwigs.
However, got news that German Moreno has mediated to iron the kinks. Heard that he had a heart-to-heart talk with Aljur to re-assess the good things done to him by GMA-7 people. That his career has never been freeze but rather handed a series of lead roles.
“Huwag kang pasusulsol sa iba dahil puedeng mali sila at gusto lang sirain ang relasyon mo sa mga boss ng GMA-7. If I were you I’d apologize for what you said and done then ask forgiveness.” These were the exact words of Kuya Germs to Aljur.
Granting that Aljur would heed to Kuya Germs’ advice, in all probabilities GMA-7 top brasses and Aljur would have buried the hatchet, so to speak. That will be tantamount if Aljur still be visible in the Kapuso TV programs in the days to come.
Trivia:
Did you know that in the “60s Helen Gamboa was tagged the Singing Sweetheart of Philippine movies? To recount, Helen happened to be a music student of Sta. Isabel College when she won the Miss Press Photography of the Philippines title. Out of her beauty and singing talent, Helen easily stood up as a contract star of Larry Santiago outfit and eventually under the wings of Lea Productions She bannered films, opposite singing icon Eddie Mesa. Subsequently, Helen did blockbuster solo starrers in musical movies, notably Bogaloo, Bang-Shang-Alang and Obladi Oblada for Lea Productions. Her records were also top sellers.
This writer became attached to Helen for her closest writer-chum then the deceased Ched Gonzales was my officemate. She often tagged me along in going to Helen’s place at La Loma, QC.

Once, a jubilant Helen called me up just to inform that Tito decided to run for senator, hoping for my support, so with other mutual friends. Of course, even if Tito didn’t know me personally, I campaigned for him for Helen’s sake, a dependable chum that she was.
Expectedly, Helen concentrated as a senator’s wife and a doting mom to their children, including singer-actress Ciara Sottto. In any case, once in a while Helen accepts TV drama assignments for the Kapamilya network. She belts songs as guest in charitable, social functions.
