Shalani Soledad: The Making of the First Girlfriend

Valenzuela Councilor Shalani Soledad instantly became famous when Senator Noynoy Aquino ran for the Philippine presidency. When Senator Noynoy became the president, the more she become popular and there are lots of speculations that President Noynoy will bring her to the altar and she'll become the first lady. As of now, she is fondly called the First Girlfriend.

Let's take a look at some personal information about the First Girlfriend:

Every couple has a love story to tell. How did the relationship of the two started? Ms. Shalani Soledad first interviewed Pres. Noynoy Aquino in 2005 when she was then a reporter of UNTV. Since that time, president Noynoy could not forget her anymore because she asked about Kris Aquino, the presidential sister who is her idol while everybody else asked about the SONA. In 2008, they would see each other again in a resto in Quezon City, this time, Noynoy as a senator and she, a councilor. Then this was followed by meetings of the two at Starbucks and phonecalls and that's when the two became "on".

Since she became popular to the public, she has graced several covers of magazines and she had been interviewed even by her future sister-in-law Kris Aquino. For me, Shalani Soledad is beautiful, simple and she looks humble, unassuming, decent and fit to be a First Lady.

But lately, when President Noynoy Aquino was asked about the status of their relationship, he admitted that they seldom talk and see each other because each of them are very busy with their respective duties and responsibilities, being in government service. Press people have been asking the presidential speaker about plans of the two but refused to talk about them saying he does not talk personal matters with the president. There have been speculations that the two have broken up since they don't have time for each other. That's only a speculation and there's no official statement yet coming from the concerned parties. Anyways, good luck to both of them and I hope they'll end up together. They look perfect as a couple.

Sharon Cuneta Hurt by Tito Sotto's Decision not to Support her Husband

The megastar Sharon Cuneta said to reporters that she was hurt when she heard that her uncle Senator Tito Sotto will not support her husband Francis Pangilinan who is competing for the Senate presidency with Senator Manny Villar. Senator Kiko Pangilinan needs to get 13 votes in order for him to get the Senate presidency. Voting will be on the 16th of July, the day of the first SONA (State of the Nation Address) of 15th president of the Philippines Noynoy Aquino.

"There's a lot of drama ongoing now in the Senate," Sharon said. "Merong mga nakakasakit ng damdamin ko kasi tanggap ko man yung desisyon nila at naiintindihan ko yung desisyon nila, hindi naman ibig sabihin na hindi ako nasasaktan. Di ba? Like my second father, si Tito."Though I understand his reasons for not being able to support Kiko, it hurts me very much. Very, very much," Sharon said. But the megastar was also quick to add the she loves Senator Tito Sotto very very very much.

Is it finally Over for Kris and James?

It seems like Kris Aquino is really determined to end up her marriage with husband James Yap. In her interview on her last day of her show "The Buzz" she said that for her, their marriage is already over. "Ako sumuko na", Krissy said. She did not elaborate what's the cause of their latest marital woes for privacy reasons.

At the outset of their marriage, a lot of cynics have already believed that their marriage won't last. First is the age gap. Kris is 11 years older than her husband James. So that would mean a lot of adjustments to both of them. Kris grows up in the city and came from a well-known family and used to a life of media scrutiny being an actress and a daughter to a former president. While James Yap hails from the province and lived a life completely different that of Kris'. Kris Aquino is very vocal while James is a type of person who is just silent. The cynics seem to be right in their guess.

While James Yap wanted to mend whatever differences he has with Kris and wants their marriage intact as they promised to the late president Cory Aquino, Kris seems finally decided to end her marriage. She is now having her lawyers work the papers on their separation.



Here are photos of the two in happier times...

Since it is not known to the public what is the real cause of their marital problem, a lot of speculations and rumors came out. It is said that Kris Aquino is having an affair with Senator Chiz Escudero, being an endorser of her brother, now president Noynoy Aquino. Other rumor says that James Yap, being womanizer, impregnated a fan. Still another rumor said that James Yap threw bad words to Kris Aquino in one of their arguments in front of their children. Whatever the cause maybe, is it finally over for Kris and James?
