ATHENA MADRID AS MARIMAR

View: 3.7 million

Athena Madrid, the younger sister of Kapuso actor Ruru Madrid, made heads turn when she arrived at the Sparkle Spell Halloween Party wearing a Marimar-inspired costume with her date Brix Ramos dressed up as Sergio Santibañez.

In PEP.ph's exclusive interview with Athena at the event held on October 23, she revealed that dressing up as Marimar was a last-minute decision.

She wasn't actually planning to attend the party as it would be against her religion, which forbids celebrating Halloween and dressing up in spooky costumes.

But the StarStruck VII alumna eventually threw caution to the wind and ended up gamely hobnobbing with GMA-7's big bosses and her fellow Kapuso stars.

BINIBINING PILIPINAS 2022 ANNOUNCEMENT

Views: 2.9 million

Binibining Pilipinas 2022 caused a ruckus during its coronation night last July 31—with netizens and pageant fans raising a howl over Nicole Borromeo of Cebu taking home the title of Binibining Pilipinas International.

Many who rooted for Gabby Basiano of Samar for the grandest crown became suspicious that something was amiss when Nicole was announced as the winner only after a long delay.

PEP.ph was there and captured the moment as the pageant's hosts, Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray and Miss Grand International 2016 Nicole Cordovez, became visibly confused when a floor director reproached them for an alleged mix-up.

Ultimately, Nicole and Gabby addressed the issue and clarified that there was no crown mix up that happened during the coronation night, and that Gabby Basiano's Binibining Pilipinas Intercontinental win was indeed legit.

Another standout during the Sparkle Spell Halloween Party was Xian Lim.

To appease his mom, the 33-year-old Kapuso actor quickly replied, "@mommymaryanne mom! Kasama ko si Kuya driver and a Harley driver! [emoji] pag baba ko sila na kumuha ng bike...text me nalang please wag sa comments [emoji]"
