In an exclusive interview, Amalia Fuentes tells PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) that the mere presence of talent manager Annabelle Rama at the memorial mass for Joey Stevens, Amalia's husband, intensified the former movie queen’s distress.

Hindi ang pulang damit ni Annabelle Rama ang rason kung bakit nagkaroon ng eksena sa huling misa para sa asawa ni Amalia Fuentes na si Joey Stevens noong April 3.

Ito ang tinuran ng dating movie queen sa exclusive interview nito sa PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) noong April 11. 

Ngayon lamang inilabas ang kabuuan ng halos isang oras na panayam ng managing editor ng site na si Karen Pagsolingan dahil na rin sa pakiusap ni Amalia na antayin ang kanyang permiso.

Ang panimula ni Amalia, “The dress aggravated my feelings."

Matatandaan na noong Abril 3 ay nailahad ang bersiyon ni Annabelle tungkol sa naging sagutan nila ng dating kaibigan sa Santuario de San Antonio, Forbes Park.

Ayon sa talent manager, hindi naman daw niya intensiyon na pumunta sa naturang misa dahil “may ka-meeting” siya sa Rustan’s, na katabi lamang ng simbahan.

Kuwento pa ng maybahay ni Eddie Gutierrez, “Nagmimisa pa, pumasok ako. Nilapitan niya [Amalia] ako, sabi niya, ‘Bakit ka naka-red? Lumayas ka dito!’

"Orange ang suot ko, ‘Dong!”

NOT THE DRESS. Pero binigyang-diin ni Amalia na hindi siya ganun "kababaw" para paalisin ang isang tao sa burol ng kanyang asawa nang dahil lamang sa kulay ng damit.

“You must remember that I am feeling guilty about Joey. So, I was so sensitive about many things.

“Most of all, ‘wag mong bastusin ang asawa kong patay na. I am here to defend and protect him now.

“Pero ‘yong color is an aggravating factor.

  

“That orange is red, and ‘yong picture niya na three-fourths ‘yong damit niya, it's parang polo shirt na pula.

“You know, si Annabelle Rama, kaya laging napapahiya kasi pumapasok siya sa mga eksena na hindi niya alam.

“'Tapos ngayon, pinapalusutan niya ako na orange [yung] red,  as if it matters!

“Kung sa color ‘yan, kahit naka-all black siya siguro... it is her presence, can you please establish that.

    I've heard so many stories about the stunningly beautiful Madame Amalia Fuentes in her prime, mabaiit na kaibigan but pag-inaway at binastos mo yan, she can be your worst nightmare at hindi ka talaga uurungan! She still remains the undisputed Taray Queen of Philippine showbusiness kaya I'm not surprised kung bakit takott na takot si Annabel at si Roppa!

    Ang pagkamatay daw ng isang tao ay pagpapaalala sa mga naulila o sa mga buhay na anytime ay pwede tayong mawala sa mundo, at dapat natin panhandaan ang bagay na ito. Kailangan natin magbalik-loob sa Diyos. Ilang pagpanaw pa ba ang kailangan para maalala niyo ang bagay na ito?

    May mga tao ba sa paligid ni Amalia at Anabelle na nagsasabing hindi maganda ang ginagawa nila? Kailangan bang patunayan nila sa publiko kung gaano sila kataray o kagaspang?? Marunong ba silang makinig sa ibang tao o sa anak nila? Showbiz... kayo nga ang perpektong halimbawa ng showbiz.

    Hay naku, ilang taong na ba ang mga babaeng ito at sa idad nilang iyan ay puro pakikipag-away pa rin ang mga ginagawa. Si Amalia kahit nuon pang kabataan ko puro na lang pakikipag-away ang alam kong ginagawa niya sa kapwa niya artista, si Anabelle ganuon din. Mga matatanda na sila, mga ina sila pareho, bakit hindi na lang pag-aralan ang manahimik para na lang sa kahihiyan ng mga anak at apo niyo.

    Isa lang ang masabi ko, hindi magkalevel si Ms. Amalia at Anabelle. It's like comparing GOLD to PURE TRASH. Amalia is a legendary Movie Queen while Anabelle is former low class unknown bomba starlet na hindi talaga sumikat. Mas mayaman si Amalia at edukada while again, Annabel is PURE TRASH. ..basura tlaga.

    Baka dramatic entrance and pagdating ni Annabelle sa simbahan kasi sabi ni Amalia "she disrupted the homily". Kung sa likod sya pumasok at dun na lang umupo di na sya napansin ni Amalia at walang gulong nangyari.

    Who is this aging ham actress who after disrespecting someone she claims to be 80 years old, would say with a straight face "Ako, I never wish ill and bad of anyone". Sinungaling at hipokrito to the nth degree! Ano ba ang dapat gawin sa mga ganitong uri ng hayop?

    cont.. For her, a beautiful face is skin deep hence accepting her age, she's 71 and not 80 years old having been born on August 27, 1941, is no big deal. She'd rather be old with a secured pocket than become a trying hard impostor pretending to be rich. On her law studies, if ever she becomes a full-pledged lawyer, it was a dream she cherished long before she joined the movies. Que makapasa siya o hindi sa bar, does not matter. She probably took it out of her fervent desire to fulfill her dream hence, private practice is out of the question. It is interesting to note that, among the crop of wannabes or maybe outside of the industry, there is hardly anyone her age to have a burning desire to learn and guts to take up one of the most difficult and expensive courses.

    Amalia has never been conscious about her looks. Although she was voted as one of the five prettiest by the Manila Bachelor's Club during her time alongside the tags Miss Number One by her mother studio and Asia's Most Beautiful Actress by the prestigious Asia Magazine, a Sunday leisure reading mag carried by the equally respectable pre-martial law newspaper, The Manila Times, she never bask on these glories to disgrace other people. Her present looks reflects how she worked hard to reach her present level of affluence. Her father, a German, probably taught her the value of time, which she had used diligently rather than wasting it ostentatiously on beauty shops.

    Pinaylicious: Amalia doesn’t like the idea of being compared to Elizabeth Taylor much less the title “Elizabeth Taylor of the Philippines.” I admire Liz, too for her AID’s control advocacy but, once upon a time, ain’t she not a whimsical home wrecker who caused severe heartache to several women, including a friend Debbie Reynolds when she grabbed Eddie Fisher away from her? Naging puti lang si Liz kaya acceptable ang kanyang ginawa, but the situation would be different had Liz been a Filipina. Don’t blame the media for the comparison. I don’t think Amalia feels honored being compared to Liz, either.

    As an avid fan of Elizabeth Taylor, I get disappointed by how some irresponsible media compare such a legend who has so much compassion, soft spoken, kind and well loved by people to anyone. Liz is already dead, she cannot tell you how disgusted she is to be associated to someone not on her level. the only thing you can poke to Liz is that she marries several times. So please for public marketing or PR, media should be more responsible in honoring/associating people. Elizabeth Taylor was never been a hate sucker. That's why she is well loved.

    To those who claim Amalia's sentiments as nonsense, you simply don't know and comprehend na malalim ang away nila ... one of them reasons are Annabelle's trade and that of her bullying which people in Amalia's stature simply cannot tolerate and accept as a norm. What else is there to explain?
