Nagsalita na rin finally si Sharon Cuneta at humingi pa ng tawad sa Pangilinan family dahil sa issue nila ng anak na si KC Concepcion.

Nagsimula ang isyu sa pag-unfollow ng panganay na anak ni Sharon sa mister niyang si Kiko Pangilinan at sa anak ding si Frankie Pangilinan.

Humingi ng paumanhin si Mega kay Kiko at sa pamilya nito dahil naging publiko ang isyu nang pag-unfollow ni KC sa Instagram.

Unang nilinaw ni Sharon na she’s a mother first before a wife dahil ang asawa raw ay napapalitan pero hindi ang anak. Nilinaw din niya na wala siyang favoritism sa kanyang apat na anak.

“I don’t play favorites. Some people seem to think favorite daughter ko/favorite na anak ko si Frankie, hindi. I love all my children equally. It’s just that, do’n lang tayo sa totoo. Kung sino yung lagi mong kasama, lagi kong katabi, meron ka lang mas nakakasundo. And among all my children, ang kaugali ko si Frankie,” katwiran ni Sharon.

Ani Sharon, choice daw ni KC ang mag-solo noon pa man. Pero lagi itong welcome na bumalik anytime sa kanilang bahay.

“Our house, our home has always included her,” aniya.

Tungkol naman sa pag-unfollow ni KC kina Kiko at Frankie. nasaktan siya sa ginawa ng kanyang panganay at sa nangyari ayon kay Sharon.

“Pero pamilya kami. This is a family matter,” sambit pa niya.

Sa closeness naman ngayon ni KC at ng biological father niyang si Gabby, masaya aniya si Sharon tungkol dito.

“It makes me happy because they lost so many years together. But I have to remind the whole world, all of you, that since Gabby and I separated, there was never, not once, not even a time na hindi niya pwedeng puntahan yung anak niya. I never prevented them seeing each other,” paliwanag pa ng Megastar.

Ipinagdiinan din ni Mega na mahal na mahal niya si KC at ilalaban din niya ito nang patayan ang dalaga pati na ang iba pa niyang mga anak kay Kiko.

Nag-apologize nga si Sharon kay Kiko dahil nadamay pa ito nang magkaroon ng issue ng pag-unfollow. Maliit na problema lang daw ito ng kanilang pamilya at pinalaki lang dahil sa social media.

Umaasa si Sharon na maaayos din hindi nila ang hindi pagkakaintindihan dahil pamilya sila.

Tungkol naman sa magiging partisipasyon ni KC sa Dear Heart na gaganapin sa October 27, 2023 sa SM Mall of Asia Arena, wala pa umanong alam si Sharon tungkol dito.

Si KC ang bunga ng pag-iibigan noon nina Sharon at Gabby. Si Kiko naman ang naging second husband ni Sharon at nagkaroon siya ng tatlong anak dito na sina Frankie, Miel, at Miguel.

Film stars Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness have separated.

In a PEOPLE report, the couple shared that they decided to go their separate ways for their "individual growth."

"We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth," they said in a joint statement.

They added: "Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives."

Hugh and Deborra have been married for 27 years. They have two children named Oscar and Ava.

It was in April this year when they celebrated their 27th wedding anniversary.

On his Instagram page last April, Hugh penned a message for Deborra on their anniversary.

"Together we have created a beautiful family. And life. Your laughter, your spirit, generosity, humor, cheekiness, courage and loyalty is an incredible gift to me," the actor wrote.

The couple first met on the set of Deborra's Australian TV show Correlli.

"Deb, she was a big star. I get picked up, and Deb is in the front seat of the car. I’ll never forget. She took off her seatbelt and she turned around and put out her hand and took off her sunglasses and said, 'Hi, I’m Deborra-lee Furness, nice to meet you.' I remember thinking, 'I like this girl,'" Hugh shared on their first meeting in an interview with PEOPLE in 2017.

They tied the knot in Australia in April 1996.

Hugh is best known for his role as Logan and Wolverine in the X-Men film series from 2000 to 2017. Other projects of Hugh include Kate & Leopold, The Prestige, Les Misérables, and The Greatest Showman, among others.

Meanwhile, Deborra rose to fame when she headlined the movie Shame in 1988. Other films that starred Deborra include Celia, The Real Macaw, and Two Brothers Running, among others.

Canadian content creator Kyle "Kulas" Jennermann has officially become a Filipino.

For years, Kulas has been chronicling his adventures in the Philippines through his online platforms called "BecomingFilipino."

On his Instagram page, the online personality shared that he took an oath on Wednesday, September 13, as he was officially granted Filipino citizenship.

"I HAVE OFFICIALLY BECOME A FILIPINO... Today, Sept 13th, I took my Oath of Allegiance to the Republic of the Philippines. First and foremost I'd like to thank everyone for being a part of this journey... which has only just begun. Today marks the beginning of the most important part of my life. I am ready for this. I am filled with belief, inspiration, gratefulness, and love," he wrote.

The vlogger relayed that the oath was officiated by the principal author of the house bill that proposed for him to be given Filipino citizenship.

"I am so grateful today that Congresswoman @lenalonte from Biñan Laguna administered my Oath. As principal author of the first House Bill... it meant so much to me," he said.

The content creator continued: "This past few years has been the most incredible journey. I am grateful to everyone across the country, and both in Congress and Senate, who not only supported me... but inspired so much belief within me."

Kulas gave a shoutout to his Filipino friends from Visayas and Mindanao for also attending the event. The Canadian Ambassador was also in attendance.

"It was an incredibly overwhelming moment for me today. Even more so having my Titos and Titas from Cebu and Cagayan de Oro in attendance... the Filipino families who took me in, and impacted my life in so many positive ways," he said.

"To the Canadian Ambassador, His Excellency David Hartman... thank you for being there. Your presence reminded me how important it is to always be proud of where we come from... to always stay connected. I will always be a proud Canadian. As I actively do everything I can to be the best Filipino I can be," he added.

Kulas remarked that he is looking forward to meet his parents again this time as a Filipino citizen.

"I know my parents would have loved to be with me here today... I will see them in the near future, and look forward to giving them my first big hug as a Filipino citizen! I know they were thrilled to see my grilfriend Therine and barkada cameraman Kumar there with me today," he stated.

Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach officially launched her first-ever book, Queen of the Universe, last Thursday, September 14 at the Manila International Book Fair held at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.

Pia shared that she drew inspiration from her real-life experiences as a beauty queen, but stated that the book is not an autobiography.

“Cleo is loosely based on my life story but as you go through the chapters you will see that she goes through her own journey so it’s not me. Medyo magkaiba kami ng path na pupuntahan. I’ll leave that up to you guys to discover when you read the book,” Pia said.

Queen of the Universe revolves around the character of Cleo who has to make a huge decision that could change the outcome of her life––both in her career and in romance. The story is set in the rich backdrop of Manila’s urban life which could lead to people comparing Pia to the character and her journey.

“Kapag binasa niyo siya, mapapansin niyo that it sounds so familiar kasi she has a big dream, isa siyang frustrated model-actress, kasama niya yung mama at kapatid niya, tapos meron siyang estranged dad––gusto niya patunayan sarili niya…It sounds so familiar but then ginawa natin mas may drama here and there,” she teased.

Pia revealed that the book had already been ready before the pandemic began but it had to be shelved for a while since she wanted to see her fans face-to-face rather than just promoting it online.

“We had to make a decision: ‘Ilalabas ba natin to tapos mag oonline promotion nalang tayo or hold muna?’ Ang gut feeling ko talaga is hold muna although excited na, ito talaga yung inenvision ko––face-to-face, makikita niyo ako, may book signing,” she shared.

“Sayang yung hard work kung hindi namin maprpromote ng maigi talaga,” Pia added.

Film stars Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness have separated.

In a PEOPLE report, the couple shared that they decided to go their separate ways for their "individual growth."

Hugh and Deborra have been married for 27 years. They have two children named Oscar and Ava.

It was in April this year when they celebrated their 27th wedding anniversary.

On his Instagram page last April, Hugh penned a message for Deborra on their anniversary.

"Together we have created a beautiful family. And life. Your laughter, your spirit, generosity, humor, cheekiness, courage and loyalty is an incredible gift to me," the actor wrote.

They tied the knot in Australia in April 1996.

Meanwhile, Deborra rose to fame when she headlined the movie Shame in 1988. Other films that starred Deborra include Celia, The Real Macaw, and Two Brothers Running, among others.
