P.Noy will never support
moves to legalize divorce
DEPARTMENT of Social Wel-
fare and Development (DSWD)
Secretary Corazon “Dinky”
Soliman yesterday maintained
that the administration of Pres-
ident Aquino will not support
any law or measure that will
legalize divorce or abortion in
the country.
This is because President
Aquino strongly values the

DILG wants LGUs to improve
disaster preparedness
DEPARTMENT of the In-
terior and Local Govern-
ment (DILG) Secretary
Jesse Robredo yesterday
called for improved disaster
preparedness among local
government units (LGUs) to
prevent huge damages and
casualties during calamities.
“There are a lot of things
that are beyond the con-
trol of the LGUs but prepa-
rations and mitigation is
something we have control
over,” he said noting the on-
set of the typhoon season in
the country.
Robredo said lack of fund
should not hinder disaster
preparedness as he stressed
that it is all about priorities.
“Funding is always a
question of how you use the
money and not just a ques-
tion of how much money
you have, if you make the
right priorities and probably
complement the resources
with the national govern-
ment agencies, I supposed it
would be enough,” he said.
“I think it would be a mis-
take to say that we will not
be able to do it because we
don’t have money. The first
step is to do an assessment
to disaster preparedness in-
stead of just preparing for

Soliman also assured that

sures that would be immoral

disaster response. There are
a lot of things that you can-
not stop but I am sure you
can work on zero-casualty by
getting everyone prepared,”
he added.
Robredo also noted the
law that mandates every
LGU to establish disaster
mitigating unit in their re-
spective jurisdiction as part
of the government’s all-out
effort towards disaster pre-
paredness.
The DILG chief said he
will soon issue a reminder to
alert LGUs.
“We will circularize that
and we’re informing every-
one that you better prepare

phoon season,” said Ro-

ZANJOE MERUDO
Zanjoe voices out feelings
about Mariel-Robin affair
A
CTOR-model Zanjoe Marudo narrated
all the feelings he have on the romance
brewing between his former girlfriend
Mariel Rodriguez and action star Robin Padilla.
Zanjoe appeared as a guest on The Buzz seg-
ment called “TGIS” on Sunday and there he told
showbiz reporters the true reactions he had been
keeping the past few weeks.
Zanjoe faced the intriguing questions of host
Toni Gonzaga, particularly those involving him
and Mariel and his new leading lady, Cristine
Reyes.
In the June 17 episode of SNN, Mariel emo-
tionally disclosed that “it wasn't exactly her deci-
sion” to break up with Zanjoe.
Now put on the spotlight, Zanjoe clarified
several controversial issues. The first issue was
regarding a statement made by Cristine Reyes,
on her impression on the actor.
Cristine said, “si Zanjoe ay malabong tao. Di
ko alam. Di ko siya ma-gets...” Toni straightfor-
wardly asked him if he was courting Cristine, his
leading lady in ABS-CBN's upcoming teleserye,
Martha Cecilia's Kristine.
“Hindi ako nanliligaw,” Zanjoe replied. “Ma-
labo pa... Ang panliligaw ay di ko normal na
“At least, wala ng masasabi ang mga tao,
na masabi pa nila na kami pa din, na may
relasyon kaming dalawa… pero at least tapos
na ‘yon. Hindi na sila magdududa,” he said.
The seven-division world champion also
said he is happy to hear that Ranillo is getting
married next year to her childhood sweet-
heart. “Masaya ako para sa kanya. Hindi pa
naman [kami nag-uusap]. Masaya ako kung
saan siya masaya,” he added.
Rumors about the alleged Ranillo-Pacqui-
ao affair started last year during the filming
of the fantasy movie “Wapakman” where the
two played the leads.
Despite their repeated denials, the affair
sparked a media frenzy after photos of them
together were uploaded on the Internet.
The controversy forced Ranillo to fly to the
US to avoid local media.

The host then inquired about his current pri-
orities. Zanjoe pointed out, “Di ba, lahat ibibigay
ang lahat sa family...lahat ng anak. Pagdating pa
sa pamilya, wala pang titimbang doon. Nasa sa
iyo iyon kung saan mo ipa-prioritize...”
Toni finally asked Zanjoe: “What's your side
of the story regarding the breakup?” The host at-
tempted to get information from the actor but it
was all in vain. Zanjoe's reply was vague as he
didn't want to discuss details about the breakup.
To him, it was a closed issue and both he and
Mariel have moved on.
On the issue of Robin Padilla being roman-
tically linked to his ex-flame, his reaction was:
“Wala akong maramdaman. Natuwa ako na
may nag-aalaga na sa kanya. Masaya ako [para]
kay Mariel.”
The actor didn't give any firm statement
when asked if he was ready to enter into a new
relationship.
For her final question, Toni asked: “Ano ang
mas matimbang: pintig ng puso or lukso ng
dugo?”
Zanjoe remarked: “Pintig ng puso. Ang lukso
ng dugo, habang buhay 'yan.”

Laurence Fishburn
infuriated over daughter’s
newfound career
ACTOR Laurence Fishburne's daughter has moved
out of her father's Los Angeles home as she tries to
forge a career for herself as a porn actress.
Montana Fishburne, 19, has reportedly infuriat-
ed “The Matrix” star by filming an adult video with
Vivid Entertainment, titled “Montana Fishburne:
An A-List Daughter Makes her XXX Debut,” which
is set for release later this month.
The teenager reveals she was living with her dad,
his second wife Gina Torres, and their baby daugh-
ter Delilah in their Hollywood Hills mansion until
recently, when she decided to find her own place so
she could pursue her dreams as a porn star.
She says, “I wanted to do my own thing. I didn't
feel living in my father's house with his new baby
was the best thing.” Montana recently admitted the
actor was “very hurt” and “upset” over her choice of
career but she insists she has harbored dreams of
flaunting her assets on camera since she was 16.
She tells the New York Post: “I can't help that he's
my dad; I can't help that I'm his daughter. I'm just try-
ing to start my own career. This is my goal. When I
have my mind set on something, I'm gonna do it.”
And she's adamant she's not doing pornography
to humiliate her dad: “(Our) relationship has noth-
ing to do with why I got into porn. I got into porn
because I wanted to f--k on camera. I knew it was
going to affect him. But I'm not doing this to slan-
der his name. There was no, ‘I-want-to-hurt-my-
dad feeling.’ That's bull. That's selfish to do that.
I'm not going to try to hurt my dad that publicly.
That's ridiculous.
“I love my dad to death. This is not about him.
It's about me.”
Montana admits she hasn't spoken to her father
since news of her adult film broke.

tically linked to his ex-flame, his reaction was:
“Wala akong maramdaman. Natuwa ako na
may nag-aalaga na sa kanya. Masaya ako [para]
kay Mariel.”
The actor didn't give any firm statement
when asked if he was ready to enter into a new
relationship.
For her final question, Toni asked: “Ano ang
mas matimbang: pintig ng puso or lukso ng
dugo?”
Zanjoe remarked: “Pintig ng puso. Ang lukso
ng dugo, habang buhay 'yan.”

Laurence Fishburn
infuriated over daughter’s
newfound career
ACTOR Laurence Fishburne's daughter has moved
out of her father's Los Angeles home as she tries to
forge a career for herself as a porn actress.
Montana Fishburne, 19, has reportedly infuriat-
ed “The Matrix” star by filming an adult video with
Vivid Entertainment, titled “Montana Fishburne:
An A-List Daughter Makes her XXX Debut,” which
is set for release later this month.
The teenager reveals she was living with her dad,
his second wife Gina Torres, and their baby daugh-
ter Delilah in their Hollywood Hills mansion until
recently, when she decided to find her own place so
she could pursue her dreams as a porn star.
She says, “I wanted to do my own thing. I didn't
feel living in my father's house with his new baby
was the best thing.” Montana recently admitted the
actor was “very hurt” and “upset” over her choice of
career but she insists she has harbored dreams of
flaunting her assets on camera since she was 16.
She tells the New York Post: “I can't help that he's
my dad; I can't help that I'm his daughter. I'm just try-
ing to start my own career. This is my goal. When I
have my mind set on something, I'm gonna do it.”
And she's adamant she's not doing pornography
to humiliate her dad: “(Our) relationship has noth-
ing to do with why I got into porn. I got into porn
because I wanted to f--k on camera. I knew it was
going to affect him. But I'm not doing this to slan-
der his name. There was no, ‘I-want-to-hurt-my-
dad feeling.’ That's bull. That's selfish to do that.
I'm not going to try to hurt my dad that publicly.
That's ridiculous.
“I love my dad to death. This is not about him.
It's about me.”
Montana admits she hasn't spoken to her father
since news of her adult film broke.
