PEP (Philipppine Entertainment Portal) recaptures the photos that had the showbiz aficionados talking, reacting, even screaming.

Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera's first "official" public display of affection was captured last August 20 at the latter's birthday party.
We used the term "official" because the few published photos of the rumored couple prior to this one were taken either on the set or by "PEParazzis."

May 28 marked the first Senate hearing for the sex videos of Hayden kho.
The atmosphere was filled with tension.
The former doctor admitted he was on Ecstacy when he took the video.
For her part, Katrina cried: "Hindi pala siya doktor kundi direktor!"
But the scene stealer that day was former Pagsanjan mayor Abner Afuang, who doused Hayden Kho with water.
To this day, some skeptics believe that Afuang's appearance was "planted."

On August 5, heavy rains did not stop more than 175,000 Filipinos from joining the family (above) of former President Cory Aquino during the eight-hour funeral procession, which began at the Manila

This photo taken by Dr. Divina Gracia Rosales-Murao, a neighbor of Gerald Anderson (top, left) in Vista Real Classica, Quezon City, came with a glowing note for the young actor:
"I give compliments to Gerald...that he gave his own self, his time,
his concerns to check on his neighbors," said Dr. Divine, "including me
and my family. He tried to be the ordinary person he is...just like
us—just like everyone else with the humanitarian heart."
The picture of Cristine Reyes (middle, right) was sent by the actress herself to the news departments of the TV giants while relaying her condition on the roof of her home in Marikina City.
Jericho Rosales's shot proliferated in the networking site Facebook. The brief caption accompanying it read: "Popular actor Jericho Rosales went out with surfboards and wakeboards
to try to help stranded people. As of mid-afternoon yesterday, he was
able to save a young boy, a grandmother, and a dog. GMH."

This was sent by a PEPster a few days after Pepeng hit the northern regions of the country.
It was a depressing sight, but the words provided by Lovelyn Marie Teliaken were full of hope and inspiration:
"The landslide
destroyed almost all of the houses in this village. There are still
others missing and rescue operations are still going on.
"Many parts of Benguet, not only La Trinidad, also suffered great loss.
Some of us lost not only properties and livelihood but family members
as well.
"But as they say, Igorots are 'matapang.' I know in
time, we will recover. Not only because we are brave, but also because
we believe in God who always inspires us to become better people, and
give unconditional love and help not only to our family and friends but
also other people, especially those in need.
"Proud to be an Igorot."

Taken in Singapore last October 30 by a PEPster, who saw rumored lovers Marian Rivera and
Dingdong Dantes shopping in Marina Square Center Mall on Raffles

A week later, Dingdong commented: " Cute nga, e! Ang labo! Sana may close-up, di ba?"
