For the first time, Paulo Avelino admitted that he had a relationship with KC Concepcion.

The “Bridges of Love” actor made the revelation during his appearance on “The Buzz” on Sunday.

During the show’s killer question segment, host Boy Abunda put Avelino on the hot seat and asked him directly if he was ever in a relationship with Concepcion.

Avelino initially hesitated to answer the question and became evasive.

Host Kris Aquino, however, noted that Avelino did not directly answer Abunda’s question, urging him to just reply with a “yes” or “no.”

Cornered, Avelino then responded: “Yes.”

However, the actor did not provide further details, especially on reports that he and Concepcion have broken up.

In one of his recent interviews, Avelino was quoted as saying he and Concepcion did not break up because friends never break up.

Avelino also said he and Concepcion have different priorities as of the moment.

Meanwhile, Avelino shrugged off rumors linking him to actress Jasmine Curtis-Smith.

Last week, a photo of them in what seems to be a dinner date was sent to “The Buzz.” This triggered rumors romantically linking the two of them.

Julia Barretto Meets Dad Dennis Padilla After 'Snubbing' Incident

It appears that teen actress Julia Barretto and father, comedian Dennis Padilla, have patched things up.

It comes more than a month after it was revealed that Barretto allegedly ignored Padilla during a party held last December.

The event, a gathering of stars and staff of Dreamscape-produced series, took place last December 14.

Padilla was a cast member of "Ikaw Lamang," while his daughter played the title characters in "Mirabella."

At the time, Padilla said that her daughter was aware of his presence but neither approached nor greeted him during the party.

The snubbing incident was alleged to have been caused by the 17-year-old's move to formally drop Padilla's surname.

According to the camp of the "Mirabella" actress, the petition was to "prevent confusion" regarding her name, being a public figure.

In an interview shortly after the September 2014 report, Padilla claimed that it was because of his inability to provide financial support.

The meeting between the two may also prove timely as Barretto is set to celebrate her 18th birthday on March 10. Her father have already expressed his willingness to be part of the occasion.

A daughter of actress Marjorie Barretto and Padilla, Barretto was dubbed a "showbiz royalty" when she was launched in 2013 as a Star Magic artist. She is also a niece of actresses Gretchen and Claudine Barretto.

A long-awaited welterweight fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather has long been talked about, but a deal has yet to be agreed.

Filipino Pacquiao, 36, is the WBO belt holder, while American Mayweather, 37, is the WBC and WBA champion.

It followed reports Pacquiao had agreed terms on a May 2 bout in Las Vegas.

One stumbling block has been Mayweather's insistence on a strict blood-testing programme during training, but Pacquiao said those demands cast him in a bad light as a suspected cheat.

She also alleged that Pope Francis is facing criminal charges in international courts because of these supposed rituals, getting mixed reactions from her followers.

Some laughed at Aguilar's claims, while others were furious in defense of the Catholic leader, who is currently in the Philippines for a five-day apostolic visit centered on mercy and compassion.

Aguilar clarified that she believes in God, but not in religion. She added that "the utter ignorance of the masses equals the great power of the Church."

She went on to challenge those "attacking" her opinions to face her at Elorde Gym in Katipunan. Citing her supposed experience in mixed martial arts, Aguilar said she can easily knock out her detractors.

Aguilar even extended the challenge to Pope Francis himself.

"The Voice Kids" champion Lyca Gairanod has been chosen to perform during Pope Francis' meeting with families on Friday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.



The 10-year-old will take the stage with "Tell the World of His Love," the theme song of the 1995 World Youth Day, which was presided by Pope Saint John Paul II in Manila.

In an interview, Gairanod performed a part of the song by composer Trina Belamide, which was heard by some 5 million attendees of the youth festival's culminating mass at Luneta Park.

Gairanod, who admittedly struggles with English songs, said she has been undergoing lessons to perfect her pronunciation of the lyrics of "Tell the World of His Love."

The gathering of families on Friday will highlight the experiences of those who live in poverty, those whose members are working overseas, and those caring for persons with disabilities.

Gairanod, who used to help her mother scavenge junk to sell in a fishing village in Tanza, Cavite, said that if given a chance, she would ask Pope Francis to pray for her family's good health.

According to Gairanod, she has always dreamt of meeting the Pope. She added that, if allowed, she hopes to take a selfie with Pope Francis when she meets him this Friday.
