Edu confirms break-up with Pinky

abs-cbnNEWS.com | 11/19/2009 10:26 AM

MANILA - TV host and vice-presidential candidate Edu Manzano on Thursday confirmed that he and his girlfriend of five years, news anchor Pinky Webb, have already called it quits.

Manzano did not deny the reported split, but he refused to discuss the circumstances behind the break-up.

“The personal aspect, maybe we should just keep it to ourselves. I don’t think it will have basis or impact on the campaign. There are just some things that will not always go the way we planned it,” Manzano said in a chance interview after formally accepting his vice-presidential nomination under the Lakas-Kampi-CMD ticket.

Webb did not attend the party’s convention at the Philippine International Convention Center Thursday. Manzano’s celebrity son, Luis Manzano, also failed to appear Thursday.

The elder Manzano said Luis is in the United States.

Both Webb and Luis were caught off guard by Manzano’s decision to run for the county's second-highest public post.

The Philippine Star’s Ricky Lo wrote in his “Funfare” column that Manzano and Webb separated almost a week after the TV host declared his intention to run for vice-president.

In his article, the veteran entertainment journalist said the break-up had nothing to do with Manzano's decision to run as vice-president instead of senator. Lo said his source shot down speculations that a third party on either side was the cause of the break-up.

"Barely a week after Edu Manzano broke the happy news that he has accepted the offer to be Gibo Teodoro’s running-mate in the 2010 elections came the sad news that he and Pinky Webb, his girlfriend of five years, have broken up. Has Edu’s change-of-heart decision to run for vice president instead of (originally) senator anything to do with the split-up?

“No,” said the source code-named Juicy Tongue, “politics has nothing to do with it. Very private ang dahilan.” No “third party” involved daw on either side as in the case of most showbiz break-ups. And to think that Edu and Pinky have been reported to be already talking about getting married. Sayang naman! Stay tuned for more details," Lo said in his article.

Early this week, reports came out that Webb was caught by surprise with Manzano's decision to be the running mate of Lakas-Kampi standard bearer Gilbert Teodoro.

It said Manzano did not tell Webb and his son about his political plan.

During a one-on-one interview on ANC's Talkback with Tina Monzon-Palma on Monday (November 16), Manzano was asked how Webb reacted to his candidacy.

"I think it came as a shock to her, too," Manzano said. He, however, said that Webb supported his decision.

In a previous interview with abs-cbnNEWS.com, the former chairman of the Optical Media Board admitted that he and Webb hope to tie the knot this year.

"It will not be a big wedding, it will not be a showbiz wedding. Marami pa kasing dapat pag-isapan pa doon. I mean, we have been together for, magfi-five years na kami on October 19. So let's say it's a very serious relationship," Manzano said.

He also rebuffed speculation that the two of them would only get married to boost his chances in 2010 polls.

"Relationship should not be used to further someone's ambitions. That's my opinion," Manzano ended. -With a report from RG Cruz, ABS-CBN News

Edu and Pinky’s wedding barred by Coryby: Edgar O. Cruz STIR Editor (Chief Agitator)3 Aug 2009 11:13 AM
Pinky Webb was supposed to follow boyfriend Edu Manzano who is now vacationing in the US. But because of Cory Aquino’s death, ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs boss Maria Ressa stopped her from taking her scheduled leave and agreed to cover Cory’s wake. The buzz is Edu and Pinky is planning a civil wedding in the US as they are not eligible to marry here. Although Edu had been divorced from last wife Maricel Soriano, having an American-Filipino citizenship, he cannot marry in church as he has no annulment. As Edu plans to run for the Senate in the 2010 elections, it’s politically a must for him to be married. He must renounce his American citizenship to do this which he cannot do until he marries Pinky. As he announced on national television last year, he plans to marry Pinky September this year. That’s a month from now. What Pinky is most likely to do is leave after Cory’s burial and go on with his civil wedding with Edu.

MAY IPINAAAYOS NA bahay ngayon si Chairman Edu Manzano sa bandang San Juan. Malaki ang bahay na nasa isang malawak na bakuran din, luma ang istilo nito, kaya ipinare-renovate ngayon ng aktor-TV host sa ayon sa kanyang panlasa.
Maraming nagpapalagay na isa nang preparasyon ni Chairman Edu ‘yun para sa nalalapit nilang pagpapakasal ng magandang news anchor na si Pinky Webb.
May ilang anggulo na lang silang inaasikaso pa, pero saan pa nga ba mauuwi ang matagal na nilang relasyon kundi sa pagpapakasal?
Hindi naman dinisenyo sa langit ang kanilang relasyon, nagkakaroon din sila ng hindi pagkakaunawaan paminsan-minsan, pero totoo ang obserbasyon ng mas nakararami na ibang mag-away ang mga taong may pinag-aralan.
Sa pagkakaalam namin, kapag may tampuhan ang dalawa ay umaalis muna si Chairman Edu, hindi naman siya nagpupunta sa ibang bansa, hindi lang muna siya nagpapakita kay Pinky.
Ganu’n ang epektibong paraan ng mga kalalakihan para ang tampuhan ay hindi lumala, kailangang iwasan nila ang mas mainit pang argumento na maaaring humantong sa kung saan, kapag lumamig na ang timplada ng babae ay saka na lang sila uli bumabalik.
Mahahalata kapag may tampuhan ang dalawa. Makikita mong kumakain nang mag-isa si Chairman Edu, si Pinky naman ay halatadong hindi mapakali.
Pero kapag magandang-maganda ang lagay ng panahon ay makikita mo silang masigla, nagbibiruan habang naglalakad, napakadaling hulaan kapag may hidwaan sina Chairman Edu Manzano at Pinky Webb.

SALUDO KAMI SA pagiging discreet nina Chairman Edu Manzano at Pinky Webb tungkol sa kanilang relasyon. Alam mong nagmamahalan sila, alam mong itinuturing nilang inspirasyon ang bawat isa. Pero hindi sila ang klaseng ipagbubuyangyangan sa buong mundo ang kanilang pagmamahalan.
Kumikilos sila ayon sa kanilang edad, hindi na nga naman sila mga teenager para maglingkisan sa harap ng publiko. Pero sa pagiging simple nila, mararamdaman mo ang sobra-sobra nilang pagmamahal at malasakit sa isa’t isa.
At mas maingat sila sa punto ng hindi nila pagkakaunawaan. Wala kang mararamdamang meron pala silang away, dahil propesyonal pa rin silang nagtatrabaho nang magkasama lalo na nu’ng hindi pa nagbibitiw si Chairman Edu sa kanilang pang-umagang programa.
Sabi ng isang nakausap namin, “Mapi-feel mo lang na meron silang misunderstanding dahil kapag off-cam na, hindi sila nag-uusap. Kapag okey kasi sila, sweet sila sa likod ng mga camera, alam mong walang problema sa pagitan nila,” pagdidiin nito.
Ang plano ng pagpapakasal, palaging nandiyan lang. Pero siyempre, may mga kailangan pa silang ayusin lalo na sa parte ni Chairman Edu. Kailangan pa muna nilang plantsahin ang maraming aspeto ng kanilang relasyon para makahigop na tayo ng mainit na sabaw

Maricel Soriano confirms that Edu Manzano is now free to marry whoever he wants

Excerpt from the article "Maricel Soriano confirms that Edu Manzano is now free to marry whoever he wants" by Julie Bonifacio

from: ABS-CBN.com

On a more personal note, may balita na annulled na raw ang kasal niya sa ex-husband niya at Optical Media Board Chairman na si Edu Manzano. “Saan? Paano ba ang spelling noon? Paano ba ang spelling noon, oh?” biro muli ni Maria. Umugong ang balitang annulled na ang marriage nila nu’ng pumutok ang isyu na pakakasalan na raw ni Edu ang current girlfriend niya ngayon na si Pinky Webb. Nag-uusap ba sila ni Edu? “Magkaibigan naman kami ni Edu, eh. Game ka na ba? Sabi ko, ‘Game ka na ba ulit?’ Alam mo naman kaming dalawa ‘di ba? Hindi naman kami ano,magkagalit, kahit kailan. Friends kami. And I want him to be happy also.” Ano’ng isinagot ni Edu nu’ng sinabi niya kung game na ba ulit magpakasal ang kanyang ex-husband? “Well, let’s see, ‘di ba? Pa-suspense siya pero kunyari lang ‘yan. I know game na siya ‘no,” sagot ni Maricel.

Pwede na ba talagang pakasalan ni Edu si Pinky? “Oo, oo naman siguro. Pero hindi naman ako ang pari ‘di ba? Hindi naman ako ang magbabasbas. Baka made of cotton. Hahaha!” Ano ang feeling na magpapakasal na ulit si Edu? “Ako lang kung anuman ‘yun, kung meron mang ganu’n, kung matutuloy man ‘yun, hindi naman sa hindi natutuwa,. lahat tayo pwedneg maging masaya. Lahat tayo we deserve to be happy. ‘Yun ang gusto kong paniwalaan. Kasi ‘di totoo na doomsday ka palagi. Hindi pu-pwede ‘yung ganu’n.” So does this mean na legally possible na ba talaga na pwede ng magpakasal ulti si Edu? “Yes,” diretsong sagot ni Maricel. Has she ever met the ABS-CBN correspondent? “Hindi pa, eh. Si Tito Freddie (Webb), oo. E, love ko ‘yun. Ang sarap-sarap namang katrabaho ni Tito Freddie. Nagkasama kami sa Mary, The Potter noon. Nag-guest siya kasi si Tita Nova (Villa) ‘di ba ‘yung nanay namin doon. Tapos hinanapan namin siya ng husband.”

So this also means free na rin si Maria to be with another man. Handa na ba siya? “Ako? Kung magpapakasal ako ulit? Ayoko! No! Naku,. Nakakapagod, ha. Nakakadala. Naku, ginagawa ko na na nga sine ‘yan, eh.” Papayag ba siya s alive-in na set-up? “No! Secret. Secret ka d’yan. Naku baka maudlot, huh. Nag-uumpisa pa lang, ha. (bagong lovelife niya ). Huwag ninyong aswangin, huh,” pabaklang sagot ni Maricel. Kinulitkulit pa naming si Maria kung ilang months na ba sila nu’ng guy. “Saan? Sa sinapupunan ba o ano? Aba, eh, baka nga maudlot kaya huwag muna nating i-talk show. Kasi kapag tinalk show ko na, naku, wala na udlot na ‘to. Pack-up na ‘yan. Kapag naumpisahan kasi na ganyan, lost. ‘Di ba ganu’n? Mamaya kapag tsinek ko ang phone ko wala akong text. Kagagawan ninyo ‘to,” joke muli ng T2 star. Manonood ba sila ng sabay nu’ng guy na nagpapasaya sa kanya kapag ipinalabas na ang T2? Yayayain ba niyang manood ng sine ‘yung guy? “Darling, hindi ako marunong magyaya. Ayoko ng mga yaya-yaya, bakit?” Pero panonoorin kaya nilang dalawa ‘yung T2? “Ako panonorin ko,” tapos ni Maricel.

Pinky Webb Interviews Cher Calvin on UKG

I was able to watch Cher Calvin being interviewed on TV Patrol World by Mario Dumaual. Also, I heard from the grapevine that she guested on UKG but because of my new work schedule I missed it. Good thing JP gave me a heads up, and told me that there's a video clip on youtube. I am so giddy (like grade school giddy on the first day of classes), it's the first time that I saw the two persons I always look up to share the set and camera.




After watching the video clip, I wished I was watching live. I should have been a step closer in completing my list of the persons I want to meet in my life. (If we're friends on friendster you'll know what I'm talking about. :))

200-02-24 Update

Hi everyone, for those of you who are wondering Pinky Webb will be pinch hitting for Karen on TV Patrol World for a couple of weeks. I knew that because earlier this morning I heard it from Cheryl Cosim, she was explaining to one of the viewers/listeners (I'm not really sure because it was on teleradyo) why Karen isn't back on TVPW yet, she said that she's having her 2-week vacation. In my opinion I would love to see Pinky Webb on TVPW every night, but I think that would really be tough on her with her schedule and everything. And I would definitely not like it if she'll leave UKG in favor of TVPW, UKG will never be the same without her.

On a different note, I would like to thank everyone for making my birthday extra special. Special shoutout to K, for announcing my brithday to the world (I felt like a celebrity for a moment because I got lots of birthday greetings on my e-mail) and to Miss Pinky Webb and Alex Santos for greeting me on air yesterday. I know it's a couple of days late but still, it's the thought that counts. And with that... I can say that this is the most amazing birthday I ever had.

Thanks a lot!

Pinky Webb to replace Karen Davila in TV Patrol World?

Posted on February 18, 2009 by pinoyobserver

I just watched Pinky Webb deliver the news in lieu of Karen Davila over at TV Patrol World. She’s perfect. She’s not only eye candy on screen–she also projects a very professional mien.

Webb does not have the baggage of being a very close follower of discredited president Arroyo. Karen, well, enjoys the enviable position as an administration supporter, which is a kiss of death for any reporter. A reporter should not have any semblance of partiality to anybody, lest himself.

Everytime Karen anchors the afternoon radio show over at DZMM, ratings mysteriously dip. Why? Obviously, Karen takes care of certain “controversial figures” which shows when she goes to the booth. Karen defends Arroyo everytime. Remember her obvious editorial partiality when the Joc-Joc Bolante scandal broke out? HOw about when the First Gentleman got brickbats due to the World Bank report? She even defended the Alabang Boys to the derision of many radio listeners.

Question—is’nt that her husband now dabbles in public relations? Does this explain why sometimes she takes positions that are, well, rather irrationally siding the main culprits in those teledramatic scandals?

Should the management decide to really make Pinky Webb a regular mainstay at TV Patrol World, ratings are sure to rise even further.

Happy Heart's Day

Happy Valentine's day everyone! It's been forever since the last time I visited this blog. Anyway, yesterday was the first time that I had the time to listen to Radyo Patrol since 2009 started, and I think luck wasn't on my side, as we all know that Miss Pinky Webb was absent yesterday. Sigh. Anyway, I still continued listening to the news as I am quite deprived of the current events these past weeks. Don't get me wrong, I don't tune in to Radyo Patrol just because Pinky is there, I listen for the news, and Pinky Webb is just a bonus.

After the program, just as Alex was signing off he said "Sa ngalan po ni Pinky Webb, na siguradong may date bukas, ito po si Alex Santos". I know I'm shallow, but just with that line I felt giddy and excited for them!

A segue, I just want to say advance happy birthday to dear G (it's on the 20th, but I want to be the first to greet her)!

Happy Heart's Day and Happy Weekend too!

with lots of lovin', K ♥

LoVe Is iN tHe AiR! HaPpY VaLeNtInE's DaY!

We may not know them personally, but we've witnessed how their love story evolved from friendship into a "different level" as to what Chairman would like to take it into when he announced that they were planning to settle down this year. Their love team/ team-up does really make our mornings "Umagang Kay Ganda"! We hope to see more sweet-kilig moments from them now that they finally revealed their relationship to the public. May they continue to love & be madly inlove with each other...ehehehe HaPpY VaLeNtInE's DaY mS. pInKy & ChAiRmAn! Best wishes...sana matuloy n po ang wedding nyo this year. God bless.

BTW, thanks Abi for sharing this pics... Binati ka naman ni Ate Pinks sa radyo e..uuuyyyy!!!! ehehe sana me too s bday ko..ahahaha .. happy V-day everyone!

Ms Pinky's guesting in GKNB!

Hey guys, here's the video of Ms Pinky when she & fellow UKG hosts guested in GKNB as part of Chairman Edu Manzano's week-long birthday celebration in the said show which he (Edu) hosts. This was in Sept 2007, Sir Edu's 52nd birthday! Also, some part of the video was from UKG. Well, I do hope you'll enjoy watching...kakakilig! ahahaha! BTW, thank you to Ms Judenella Santos @ multiply.com for sharing this video. Thanks po!

New Year New Header

Hi everyone I know we've been out for quite some time (K and I). But now we're back to business! K already made the new header using the picture you've all suggested it's just that blogger is not feeling well (read as: not working properly) and she wasn't able to upload the header. I also tried uploading it but to no avail.

We need not to worry as it will be up the soonest possible time. (I know our header is so last year).

May we all have a great twenty oh nine!
