Pinky Webb gets a 'Teddy Doggie' from Ted

MANILA, Philippines – Broadcast journalist Pinky Webb agreed to be grilled on the ABS-CBN's “Failon Ngayon” aired Saturday where she talked briefly about her work, family, love and thoughts on marriage.

She got a surprise gift from host Ted Failon--a 'Teddy doggie' stuffed toy.

Webb is part of ABS-CBN’s morning show, Umagang Kay Ganda (UKG), radio dzMM, ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) and public affairs program, XXX.

With her busy schedule, Failon asked Webb how she manages her time and love life.

"Basta maaga akong matulog, ok sa akin. Kahit pagod na pagod ako buong araw, basta 9 o'clock tulog na ako,” Webb said.

Single

As for her love life, she said, "Wala. Zero. Wala."

Webb recently broke up with boyfriend, former television host and now Lakas-Kampi vice presidential bet Edu Manzano.

Failon pressed on and asked her if she considered “going seriously into a relationship, as in marriage, and work”.

"Gusto ko din magkapamilya pero hindi ko pipilitin yun kung hindi pa akin. Yun na lang. After 39 years, if I'm gonna get married, kung magpapakasal ako, gusto ko yung lalaking gusto ng Diyos para sa akin," she answered.

Failon’s follow-up question was if she was has been offered marriage in the past.

"Meron ba? Ano sa palagay mo? Meron naman," she said but did not elaborate.

The hardworking journalist right away replied to Failon’s question if she was afraid of remaining single at her age.

“Natatakot ka bang tumandang dalaga?” Failon asked.

Webb said: “Hindi. I never thought of that. Hindi ko naisip yun. Saka Ted, hindi ako yung tao na when I was in my 20s inisip ko magpapakasal ako, ito yung gown ko. At this age, hindi ako ganun e. I live each day as it comes. Everyday, ginagawa ko lahat kung anong magagawa kong mabuti ngayong araw, happy na ako doon.”

Off cam

Off camera, Webb has several descriptions of herself.

"Kung anong nakikita mo sa radyo yun na yun. Medyo matapang, mabait minsan, may pagka-kengkoy, minsan parang tomboy," she said.

She explained that her boyishness comes from growing up with 4 brothers. Webb is the daughter of former Senator Freddie Webb.

"Kasi yung mga kapatid ko, napagitna ako sa apat na lalaki. So sila yung palagi kong kasama. Nagsu-swimming kami, nakikipag racing pa ako sa kanila kasi very competitive ako noong bata ako," she said.

Remains positive

The hardest obstacle that the family has had to face together involved her brother Hubert, who is serving time for the so-called Vizconde massacre.

"Hanggang ngayon, in all honesty, hindi ko pa naiintindihan kung bakit nangyari, and maybe I'll never understand. But, sabi nga nila, pag may nangyaring ganyan, you don't question God, you just accept. Mayroon naman mga mabuting nangyari after that in terms sa aming pamilya, mas naging close kami, pero yung sakit na dala sa amin noon, hindi ko pa nakakalimutan,” she said.

She added, “I have to be positive about it. Dapat may magandang mangyari dito, and that's what I'm hopeful for.”

As for lessons she learned from past experiences, she said the most important is, “I've learned not to be judgmental. Ayokong mag judge ng tao base sa naririnig ko o nababasa ko lamang.”

‘Teddy doggie’

Towards the end of the program, Webb gladly accepted a stuffed toy--a dog-- from Failon.

Webb already has 2 pet dogs. She agreed to name the stuffed toy "Teddy doggie," as suggested by Failon.

“Ito bigyan mo siya ng pangalan--si Teddy doggie,” Failon said.

The "Failon Ngayon" episode with Webb was aired Saturday, February 20.

Pinky Webb on Failon Ngayon

Hi friends, G here, I'm finally back on Pinky's web after almost a year! I am so glad to be back on the Pinky Webb track! (Di halatang na-eexcite, right?)

Anyway, even when I was away I still take time to watch her shows on TV, or stream online for the TFW radio program. I'm such an avid fan that's why we put up this whole blog thingy, remember? I just want to thank everyone who kept this blog alive even when I was not around, thanks to you Kriann, JP and the others... you know who you are! Ok, so much of my ramblings about how I miss this.

I just want to tell everyone the biggest news yet. Pinky Webb will be guesting on Failon Ngayon on Saturday! So everyone please do watch, I'll try to have it taped so we can have a copy and post it here (but please tape it too, just in case I won't be able to).

Tambalang Failon at Webb

I stopped listening to DZMM for over 4 months because of my schedule, but recently my schedule's changed and I have the luxury of listening to may favorite radio programs again. I've been an avid listener of F&S, so when I heard a different yet familiar voice on air I was surprised, in a good way. (Do I really need to explain why I'm surprised? Isn't it clear that I'm one of the fanatics here?) I love the Failon and Webb tandem, it's so much fun, I'm not saying that Korina is less fun than Pinky, but to simply put it, it's just different in a good way. It's a refreshing change, not just their tandem, but the way Pinky Webb is when she's 'on board'. Ted Failon brings out the goofy side of her. And who would have known that she has a shot at acting, and I've noticed lately that she's practicing her 'older woman' voice too! Pinky have gone a long way! And we love her for that.

So everyone, never miss any of her shows, be it on radio or TV, mainstream or the cable news channel! ☺

Also a big shoutout to Mr. Ted Failon, thank you very much and keep up the great work!

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.
