GORGY RULA
Ipinagkibit-balikat na lamang ni Rhian Ramos ang kumalat na intrigang nandaya raw sila ng nobyong si Sam Versoza sa New York City Marathon.
Naglabas naman agad si Rhian ng statement pagkatapos itong isulat ng kolumnistang si Atty. Star Elamparo ng Daily Tribune.

Si Sam ay nagsampa ng reklamong cyberlibel laban kay Elamparo sa Manila Prosecutor’s Office. Pero si Rhian ay hindi na.
Tinanong ng PEP Troika ang Kapuso actress tungkol dito nang nakapanayam namin sa premiere night ng pelikula niyang Huwag Mo ‘Kong Iwan nitong Nobyembre 21, 2024, Huwebes, sa Gateway Mall, Cubao, Quezon City.
Ani Rhian, “For me, in my own way, I think I adjusted na din naman.
“I made sure to get a legitimate person from the actual marathon to answer the question.
“I didn’t want to defend myself on my own. Ayun! At saka for me, why pa?
“I mean… I don’t know, I just didn’t feel like I needed to.
"And at that point, parang, it just feels like such an insignificant piece of fake news for me.”

RHIAN RAMOS: NO NEED TO FILE COMPLAINT
Nang nalaman niyang may hinaharap pang ibang kasong cyberlibel si Elamparo at naisyuhan na umano ito ng warrant of arrest, naisip daw ni Rhian tama na yung may iba nang nagdemanda rito.
“In a sense, kaya din siguro hindi ko na-feel na kailangan ko magkaso, parang wala pa nga akong ginawa, ginawa na ni Lord.
“So, parang, di ba? Yun na lang ang iniisip ko. Parang… ginawa na ni Lord, e. Kahit wala akong gawin, ganun,” sabi pa ni Rhian.
Kasama pala ni Rhian sa pelikulang Huwag Mo 'Kong Iwan sina JC de Vera at Tom Rodriguez, sa direksyon ni Direk Joel Lamangan.
Prinodyus ito ng BenTria Productions, at magso-showing na sa mga sinehan sa November 27, Miyerkules.
NOEL FERRER
Dito sa pelikulang Huwag Mo ‘Kong Iwan ay pinatunayan nina Rhian Ramos at JC de Vera na meron pa rin silang chemistry, pagkatapos mag-hit ang tandem nila sa GMA-7 na LaLola (Oktubre 2008-Pebrero 2009).
Natawa si Rhian at okay naman daw sa kanyang magsama sila uli sa isa pang film project.
“I remember when we were working together before. And I would watch you work,” sabi ni Rhian sa katabing si JC.
“Actually, hindi pa ako masyadong marunong umarte nun. Hindi ko pa alam masyado kung ano yung ibig sabihin ng acting.
“But watching JC, he was one of the first people talaga na I looked up to, yung parang gusto ko maging ganyan. Yung parang, napaka… magaling siya na artista.
“He really respects his work and his craft. He takes it seriously, such a professional. So, parang for me, yun yung ang gusto ko ding ma-emulate.
“And then, it means a lot to be able to work with him again after so many years. And I believe we’re both different people now, and we’ve both grown, and we can only get better hopefully.
“So I think that’s what happened. And yes! I would love to work with him again also.
“Parang until I now, I still look up to him and his level of seriousness as an actor. And that’s the kind of energy that I love to be around.”
Natawa si Rhian sa follow-up question kung naging sila ba talaga ninJC noong nagsama sila sa LaLola?
“Hindi na namin maalala. What matters is now!” natatawang sagot ni Rhian.

JERRY OLEA
Kaugnay sa kuwento ng Huwag Mo ‘Kong Iwan, sa tingin ba ni Rhian Ramos ay masalimuot talaga ang love?
“I don’t think it should be complicated at all. It should be as easy and natural as breathing,” mabining tugon ni Rhian.
“For me, ha? Kanya-kanya. Of course, exciting din yun. In fairness naman, hindi ako nabo-bore sa current status.”
Sa Huwag Mo ‘Kong Iwan, fiancé na ni Lara (karakter ni Rhian) ang musician na si Joseph (karakter ni JC de Vera), pero niligawan pa rin siya ng abogadong si Edwin (karakter ni Tom Rodriguez).
RHIAN ON FIGHTING FOR LOVE
Sa totoong buhay, hanggang saan ang kayang ipaglaban ni Rhian para sa taong mahal niya?
“Well, I think naman kasi na in general, life talaga is complicated to begin with,” sabi ng Kapuso actress.
“Na hindi na natin kailangan na dagdagan in any way. Kahit naman sa kuwento namin, yung mga challenging parts ay nanggagaling sa ibang mga sources, yung mga crazy twists and turns.
“So I just believe that if you have a partner, or if you love each other, parang you should be able to go through anything together.
“Ayun nga, hindi kayo mag-iiwanan. And it’s not about finding the perfect person for you. It’s just someone that you can grow with.”
Ano ba sa pananaw niya ang message ng movie?
“Para akin, it’s more about the loyalty, the being there for a person. Paano mo nasabi na mahal mo yung tao with your actions, di ba?” sey ni Rhian.
“And from the title, Huwag Mo ‘Kong Iwan, so parang it’s really for me more about sticking with the person, displaying how you feel about them through your actions.
“And that means also the hard times especially.”
Nasa cast din ng movie sina Rita Avila, Pinky Amador, Emilio Garcia, Lloyd Samartino, Tanya Gomez, Jim Pebanco, Simon Ibarra, Nella Dizon, Felixia Crysten, Marcus Madrigal, Mygz Molino, at King David.
By the way, may mall show ang Huwag Mo ‘Kong Iwan sa Nobyembre 24, Linggo ng 2:00 P.M., sa SM Manila, at 4:00 P.M. sa SM Bacoor.
Mamumudmod ang BenTria Productions ng T-shirts at cash sa lucky audience doon!
