A source said that Sunshine wants out of the network because she feels she is overworked. She allegedly complained about the long taping hours she spent on “Tinik Sa Dibdib,” and was miffed when her request for shorter work hours (specifically, to be allowed to leave the set at 2 a.m.) was turned down.

The actress, it is said, has asked for her release paper even while she is still bound by contract to work under the Kapuso network banner for two more years.

GMA-7 has served to media this official statement on Sunshine’s backing out of “Tinik Sa Dibdib”:

“GMA Network would like to inform the public that it has pulled out Ms. Sunshine Dizon from her current afternoon drama program, Sine Novela presents Tinik sa Dibdib, due to health reasons.

“It was decided that Ms. Dizon’s condition would make it impossible for her to perform as an actress. GMA Network advised Ms. Dizon to rest in order to fully recover.”

Sunshine spent a day at a hospital recently due to severe migraine.

Some people speculate, however, that the real reason Sunshine has been sickly of late is because she might be pregnant—a rumor that her mother, Dorothy Laforteza, squashed in a separate interview.

Sunshine’s rumored boyfriend is said to be the brother of former actress Tanya Garcia.

Sunshine is currently in Pampanga. She is said to be mulling going to the U.S. soon for a short vacation.

Marami ang nakapupuna sa magandang chemistry nina Dingdong at Rhian sa Stairway to Heaven. Pero sagot ni Marian, walang dahilan para pagselosan niya si Rhian na gumanap sa papel na si Jodi.

Idinagdag niya na mismong si Dingdong ay hindi raw siya binibigyan ng dahilan para magselos kay Rhian. Katunayan, full support ang bida ng telefantasya ng GMA 7 na Darna sa mga project ng binata.

Sinamahan pa niya si Dingdong nang maging guest speaker ito sa Laguna State Polytechnic University. Sa kanyang talumpati, hinamon ng aktor ang mga estudyante na makiisa sa pagtulong sa mga biktima ng kalamidad.

“Kaya ako nandito kasi sobrang proud ako sa kanya (Dingdong). Talagang ginagawa niya lahat para makatulong sa ibang tao,” ayon kay Marian sa Chika Minute ng GMA news 24 Oras nitong Huwebes.

“Nakakapagod man pero behind all of these there is greater things, greater reasons…but of course ang main reason, kailangan natin ng lakas para makatulong,” pahayag ni Dingdong. – GMAnews.TV

“After two scenes, natulog muna ako,” Glaiza recounted to Startalk yesterday. “Tapos nagising ako na hindi na ako makahinga. Naghanap ako na puwede ko makuhanan ng hangin, iyong hindi masyado kulob. Tapos noon, hinga ako nang hinga nang mabilis.”

Shortness of breath was not the only thing troubling her. Numbness had started in her foot and was slowly making its way up to her head. The feeling terrified the young actress. “Naiiyak na ako kasi first time nangyari sa akin iyon, e. Tapos nakikita ko iyong kamay ko naninigas na!”

All of these were enough for her to go directly to a doctor to find out exactly what was happening to her. As it turned out, it was all because of stress.

LACK OF SLEEP. “Wala masyadong tulog at naligo agad,” shared Glaiza. “Parang nabigla siguro katawan ko. Malamig pa naman yung tubig. Tinanong nga ako ng doctor kung may nakaaway ako, ano, pero sabi ko na wala naman.”

Glaiza added that after resting a bit, she felt that she was ready to go back to the shooting. “Kaya ko naman,” she said. “Kung kailangan mag-taping puwede ako mag-taping kasi kaya ko naman, e.”

On a lighter note, does her love life have anything to do with her stress? It has been said that her dates with Patrick Garcia were becoming frequent. Are they a couple now?

“Ngayon lang kami ulit nagkausap-usap,” smiled Glaiza. “Savor lang namin yung moment na bago matapos ang Aagawin Mo Ang Lahat Sa Akin, e, makakapag-bond pa kami.”

Then she quipped, “Di ba, ‘pag may love life lalong nakaka-stress?” – Philippine Entertainment Portal

MANILA – Television host-actress Miriam Quiambao has finally broken her silence on her failed marriage to Italian Claudio Rondinelli.

Quiambao told “The Buzz” host Boy Abunda in an interview Sunday that her marriage had fallen apart because of her husband’s affair with a younger woman.

The “Patient X” star confessed that her husband admitted about his infidelity over the phone. She was in the country then for a guesting in a reality-based television show here.

She recalled: “We were already having problems then. And I wanted to follow to Italy to spend Easter with him, but he wouldn’t let me. And I was wondering why. I came here and guested.”

“I was here. He called me and he said he wanted a divorce. And I was wondering why. I said, ‘Is there a third party?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ Sabi ko, ‘Let’s talk when I get back in Hong Kong.’ And ‘yon na inamin na niya.”

In 2004, Rondinelli and Quiambao got married in Boracay before moving to Hong Kong. Quiambao had relocated at the height of her career in the local entertainment industry. They separated two years later.

Many people speculated that Rondinelli had physically abused her. On Sunday, Quiambao for the first time denied the speculation.

She, however, admitted that she had suffered emotional and verbal abuse during their two-year relationship.

“Hindi naman po ako binugbog pero I experienced verbal and emotional abuse… and then toward the last three months of our relationship, that’s when he also fell in love with a much younger girl, a different nationality. And that what caused our separation,” she said.

After their separation in 2006, she returned to the country and resumed her hosting and acting jobs here.

Divorce proceedings

It took her three years to publicly discuss her marriage because Quiambao was prohibited by law to talk about it while the divorce proceedings in Hong Kong were ongoing.

On Sunday, she revealed that the proceedings are now in the “last stages.” The result of the hearings might come out either this week or by the end of the month, she said.

The former beauty queen is set to seek an annulment in the Philippines once the Hong Kong case is over.

She broke down in tears as she admitted that it was liberating and a big relief for her to finally talk about it in public.

“Ayoko sanang umiyak pero siguro it’s such a freeing experience to finally talk about it,” she said.

Life after Rondinelli

If she stayed longer in the relationship, Quiambao knew that her “spirit was going to die.”

In spite of what happened, she still cares for him and wants him to be happy, she admitted. She also doesn’t harbor any ill feeling toward him.

After the divorce, she said it’s her goal to remain friends with the Italian businessman, who spent his birthday “soul searching” in Bali, Indonesia.

Likening her experience at the 1999 Miss Universe pageant where she slipped and fell on stage, she said she knows that she can rise again after the divorce has been finalized.

“I feel that what I need to do is to stand up and move forward and trust that God is there behind me. Mas marami pa akong magagawa ng malayo sa kanya,” she said.

She is also optimistic that true love will find her again. If that time comes, she vowed that she will be more careful.

“And if ever that happens again, sana naman po siya na ang tipong binigay sa akin ni Lord para hindi ko na siya pagsisihan in the end. I have to trust Him,” she added.
