sayang raymond...kung ang hanap mo sana ay U.S. Citizen na may desenteng annual income, d sana naka bonus ka pa sakin: maganda, sexy at bata pa...walang sinabi si lola cora!!!

Naku! ang sabi nila berde dugo ni Raymond at the lady naman is a little older than him. I can surmise it's a marriage of convenience. She doesn't need a sex partner but a companion, and He doesn't need a sex partner but a secured life. O di bagay nga sila. They have a synonimous need to take care and look after each other. So it goes beyond physical attraction. It must be friendship!

pag hinablot yan..para na yang acordion..hahahaha lol

cguro,mahal tlga nila isat isa..age doesnt matter nmn eh...goodluck and best wishes to both of u.

M M M M..... :

Matandang Mayaman... Maraming Maipapamana.


ahaha.. nu ba yan. bat xa????? bakheeeeet!!! lol

sana magbalik sya sa showbiz,to do more sensible movies at tv series,..hes a great actor!!!,..sa love affair na ito,ayokong mag comment,..sana real love!!!di lang gamitan,.

Good for them! I hope they remain happy for a long time. Atleast Cora is sincere. The marriage with Lara is the one that shouldve been questioned. Lara is a 2 timing person who tries to paint herself as the victim! This i know 1st hand. She tried to pick up my boyfriend, who is now my husband, years ago when she was with Raymond. This happened in Matina, Malate. Im sure alot of people remember this... As for Cora, she's old. So what! Raymond has always been eccentric. Kung trip nya, so be it. Good luck to you both!

Raymond is in his late 30's so ang age gap nila 22 to 23 years---puede na ngang maging mag-ina pero mag-lola hindi naman. Yung past relationship niya with lara I think si Lara ang nakipagkalas. Sa States kahit 60 years ka na mukha pa ring bata esp. kapag matandang dalaga. Lahat siguro nga aspeto ikinunsidira ni Raymund..pipili ka nga naman ng bata eh kung lahat ng bagay aasa sa iyo at isa pa ung mga bata wise na din --utak na ang pinapagana. I think raymon is not stable enough para piliin ng mas bata sa kanya...kaya i think ginamit din ni Raymond ang utak nya.

intro d2 sa article: Marami ang nagulat.. mali.. marami po ang natulala,, kaya d2 pa kami.. di makaalis kc tulala pa rin. lols..lols..lols

Baka naman nag pay si Raymund ng 10k kay La Lola? At dahil dagdag savings din, pumayag ang lolahin? At least nakasuot sya ng Trahe kahit amoy mothballs na.

La Cora... pahiram naman ng boy toy mo... kahit one week lang---- mahilig daw yan sa mga may lahing latino boyz..

hahaha, berde ang dugo? akala ko pink.. bagay naman kung green with a hint of pink.lols

Kahit pa sabihin na this for convenience, as for USCIS there'll be no question about their union because their proof amp; documents are legal. Yun judge nila ang mag file ng certificate of marriage.. kaagad. Unlike sa Pilipinas, minsan matagal na na-ikasal, hindi pala registered sa NSO yun couple.. taf.!

Mahirap ipaliwanag ito sa Consul. Medyo it will take a lot of convincing that it is not for convinience only. Naalala ko tuloy yong episode ng Will and Grace na pinakasalan ni Zhackgay, friend of karen si Rosariomaid ni karen para hindi pa deport. naghagikgikan ang mga mujeres na friends ni Zhack nung sinabi ng Priest, you will unite your body and soul as husband and wife.

Kesa naman sa bugnutin na matanda na alagain na, choose nalang nya ang sariwang bata. At least someone will take care of her when she is old and gray. O baka naman check-in lang sya sa nyan sa Nursing Home. Well, enjoy while you're able.

palagay ko very good friends w/ mutual respect and unerstanding. marriage for convenience. on raymonds's part: to cover up his real sex orientation and to acquire legal status in US, also financial support

on cora's part: companionship and quot;status symbolquot;
as long as maganda ang relationship at nagkakaintindihan, why not? check out clay aikengay, best friend niyagirlmay mutual understanding na magkababy

d ba berde rin ang dugo ni raymond

obviously for financial reason.USER!!

ang bad nyo.

ha ano ka, akala ko. 'la for alam mo na lolz

nangangailangan pala tong c raymond ng inang mangaauruga sa kanya at asawang magsisilbi sa kanya at the same time. tsk,tsk,tsk.

mayaman siguro ang lola nyung yan...
ang ganda kaya ni lara fabregas tapos ngayon 60 yrs. old ang ipinalit? baka naman malabo na mata niyang si raymund..

Love is really blin and lovers cann not see........... best wishes!

580! yuhooo : .. LA like la bamba, aringkingking :D.. good morning LaCoring, ano breakfast mo.. served in bed ba..weeeeeeha! lols

so brave nga ang couple na ito dahil they decided to publicize pa their union knowing na pupunain lang sila ng marami, well, esp. ng mga pilipino.
sa dinami-dami ng tao sa mundo, i think we should feel lucky to find at least one person who's willing to spend more than a day with us for whatever reason.
besides, ano ba ang ipinagkaiba nila sa kaibigan ko who's from a well-to-do family in the phils, pretty and bubbly. her skills and education got her here sa abroad. met a man almost 30 years her senior and not to mention, this guy is broke and in debt up to his eyeballs because of some mistakes he made in the past like, failed marriages.
anyway, she's so much in love and she has a good reason for it-she hungers for more wisdom and he fills her up.
i know what you're thinking...
no, it's not.
sometimes, you learn better from real life experiences. especially from someone who truly cares for you- better than going to school or a visit to the library.

hmm weird! pero kung dun sila masaya, let it be :

ganon?!

he was my friends cousins sisters classmates friends neighbor here in LA. mabait daw siya. They never saw the old lady. Dalaga daw yung nakikita nila doon. Nagulat din sila sa balita.Balita nga nasa Florida na sila...ANYWAY, all the best! Thats LOVE. Love means a lot of things..

Love is forever
Love is unconditional
Love is a splendor thing
Love is BLIND.. it happens na baka dito sila.

Good LUCK, May you live a happy life together. And many kids to come.

lolz. ano yung LA sa lacoring, with an apostrophe before it or without? tama ka, it's the chill. ang bad mo talaga lolz...

uy akala ko kc solo ko ang oras.. dyan ka pala aringkingking. Spank me LaCoring coz i'm bad.. ouch.! jocjoc lng yun... lols

uy, ha ano ka, ayan ka na naman ha lolz! baka for raymond yon kasi lola is busy writing. she's a journalist, remember

ang bad nyo. beri beri bad. kahit di naman malamig ang weder, bad pa rin...

mrs pastrana-bagatsing, and raymond too, really owes no one an explanation. their life is their life. ok? -smile-

hurray for brad peet - one of my favorites and definitely one of the most sensible pepsters

thanks nga pala sa nagbigay ng tip, to google si CORA PASTRANA. Nakita ko iyong picture niya, na katabi niya si Jet Montelibano, at nasa picture rin ang magkatabing si Nora Aunor at Elwood Perez, sa isang parangal sa L.A., na nasa website ng Philippine Press Club. 19th Reflection Awards Night

Ano ba ang divorce rate ngayon sa US? Nasa 3.6 divorces per 1000 people sa latest data gathered noong September 2006, from a peak of 5.3 divorces per 1000 people. Ang steep decline raw ay dahil sa people are MARRYING SMARTER now. Hindi na lang PUSO ang pinaiiral, kungdi pati UTAK. Ang pinakamalaking decline is among the college-educated. Graduate ng college sa PWU si Cora noong 1965. Mas malamang na magkaroon ng magandang trabaho ang college educated, marry later, be more financially stable, therefore less strain sa marriage. Sa mga better-educated couples, mas magaling sila sa NEGOTIATING skills nila within the marriage, to make it work. Di rin sila nakatali sa mga gender roles. Mas malawak kasi ang pag-isip nila. Gender roles, tulad ng pag lalaki ka, ikaw dapat iyong breadwinner, dapat ikaw iyong protector. Pag college educated na ngayon, ke babae ka o lalaki, pwedeng ikaw ang breadwinner o protector. Ang studies na ito ay sa US. Kung sa Pilipinas titira sina Cora at Raymond, baka next week, hiwalay na sila

DID POPS AND MARTIN CELEBRATE THEIR 19th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY? Did Patricia Panlilio and Philip Cu-unjieng celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary? These are people who married their spouse from their same age range. None of them reached the adult-diaper-stage for their marriages to unravel. No guarantee that if you marry someone from the same age group, or if you married young, that it would be a sucessful marriage. What makes us think that marrying someone from another age group, will be more successful or less successful? Relationships need a lot of work between the couple involved , to make it work.

kung green card lang ang reason why did they ask Gloria and Orbos to be their principal sponsors diba? Dapat kung sinu-sino na lang.

True love? Ay ewan ko ba, gusto ko pa naman tong si Raymond Bagatsing noon kasi ang gwapo in person pero naku! sana naman hindi 60 year old --as in OLD! Haaay

dyos baka naman masaya sila pareho...lets wish them happiness na lang!!!

raymond ha! sana love yang nararamdaman mo hindi lust!

we are happy...as happy as they are pips!

I wish them both live happily ever after! HAPPILY EVER AFTER is a FAIRY TALE...maybe not coz this is the happy ending of lola, ayt?

can we be just be happy for them pips???

it's their life anyway..

Sa mga maloka-loka sa news na ito on Raymond and Cora, welcome to the new world. Iyong maraming mga social constraints sa Pilipinas, hindi necessarily social constraints sa US. Not only is this the 21st century, they are in a liberal state in the US, na maraming pangahas na magbreak ng mga social taboos. They are trail blazers, among the Filipinos. Kung i-include natin ang ibang race, lumang istorya na iyang older woman-younger man. So last century.

sa aking pagkakaalam, sa Amerika, ang karapatan ng mga tao ay ginagalang. Bawal ang discrimination dahil sa edad. Isa sa mga karapatan, ay ang karapatan na pagpapakasal between two consenting adults, na wala namang sabit, isang babae at isang lalaki. Iyong consenting adults, na single, pero from the same sex, pinag-aawayan pa nila sa US. Si Raymond lalaki, si Cora babae, parehong single, consenting adults, sa batas ng US, walang balakid sa kanilang kagustuhan at karapatang magpakasal. I respect their rights.

Sa nagsulat pala, na bakit kasi di na lang kumuha si Cora ng Kano for companionship, anong problema kung Pinoy ang napili niya? Dahil maraming tataas ng kilay? Nasa Amerika naman sila, at mukhang nasa California pa sila, kung saan liberal ang mga tao. So, who cares what we say here in the Philippines. Matagal nang na-resolve iyang issue ng acceptability ng older woman, younger man, in a relationship sa U.S. Nakaboto na nga sila ng isang Black president,e. Sa nagsulat naman na bakit hindi isang HOT BABES na US citizen or greencard holder ang pinili ni Raymond, bakit akala nyo ba di namimili ang mga HOT BABES sa US? Gusto rin ng mga HOT BABES ng isang lalaking aalagaan sila. Someone who will take care of them, a man who is financially stable is part of it. Bukod ba sa pagiging aktor ni RB, ano pa ba ang source ng income niya? Not to sound matapobre, pero HOT BABES think, Is he FINANCIALLY SECURE?

Kung eventually, ay maging caregiver si Raymond ni Cora, siguro naman, dapat lang na may bahagi rin si Raymond sa ano mang naipon ni Cora. Magkano naman kaya kung magha hire ng caregiver. Sa mga mag-asawa naman, di ba promised naman nila na they will take care of each other? That they will support each other, in sickness or in health.

love16, tutoo ka. May isa rin akong kakilala na 65 years old na nagpakasal sa isang 80 years old. Matagal nang TNT sa Amerika iyong 65 year old. Alam ng lalaki. Gusto talagang alagaan ng 80 years old iyong 65 years old. Pinaayos sa abogado ng 80 years old ang mga papeles noong napangasawang 65 years old. Na-tigok before the 2nd year anniversary ng kasal nila, iyong octagenarian, pero nakapag-green-card pa rin iyong 6oish year old na balo. Di man mayaman ang octagenarian, ang mga naipon niya at ang pension, na kulang-kulang dalawang libong dolyares kada buwan, ay napunta sa nabalong asawa, bukod pa sa medical health coverage, kaya kahit patay na ang octagenarian, naalagaan naman ang naiwang asawa. No pre-nuptials, kahit na pilit na gustong gawan ng prenup noong abogado noong octagenarian. Ang bahay ng octagenarian napunta sa mga anak niya. May ganito ba tayong mga batas sa Pilipinas? Parang hindi yata masyadong nagagamit o di ko lang alam. Basta may iba pang benefits ng pagpapakasal kahit na sa huwes lang. Sa
