VIDEO: Actual footage of the Mon Tulfo – Raymart Santiago – Claudine Barretto Brawl at NAIA!

Here is a cellphone video uploaded to YouTube by a witness at the NAIA Terminal 3, where it clearly shows the fist fight between Raymart Santiago, with wife Claudine Barretto, and Mon Tulfo which took place on Sunday, May 06, 2012 at around noon. (CLICK HERE to read the full story.)

What do you guys think? Whose side are you on?

Raymart Santiago, Mon Tulfo in fist fight at NAIA! (PHOTOS)

Actress Claudine Barretto denied that it was her husband Raymart Santiago who started the brawl at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 on Sunday.

This comes after journalist Mon Tulfo claimed that Santiago tried to forcefully grab his cellphone after the actor caught him taking a photo of Barretto when she was allegedly cursing a flight attendant.

In an interview with radio dzMM, Barretto said it is not true that she was cursing the airport staff.

She said she was merely complaining because their bags were left in Caticlan Airport and she needed the medicines of her son.

“Pagbaba ho namin ng airport, naghintay po kami ng matagal sa carousel ng luggage. Walang dumating na luggage namin so lumapit kami sa ground stewardess tapos nalaman namin na naiwan pala 'yung luggage at ipapadala na lang daw,” she explained.

Barretto said one of their friends then alerted Santiago that Tulfo was taking a video of her.

“Sabi nung friend namin kay Raymart, para nang may nagvi-video. Lumapit si Raymart. Ang pagsabi raw ni Raymart ‘Sir, ano hong ginagawa ninyo?’ Sabi raw sa kanya ‘Anong pakialam mo?’ Tapos sinuntok siya ni Mon Tulfo,” the actress related.

Barretto said their two other friends tried to stop the fight but Tulfo also attacked them.

“Noong lumapit 'yung dalawang friends namin na lalaki, bigla na lang niyang pinagsususuntok at pinagsisisipa,” she said.

According to Barretto, Tulfo also kicked her twice when she confronted him about why he punched her husband.

“Lumapit ako sabi ko ‘Anong problema mo? Bakit ka nanununtok?’ Tapos bigla na lang humarap siya sa akin, tinadyakan niya ako ng dalawang beses sa hita tapos tinulak ako sa may counter ng sobrang lakas,” she said.

Claudine appeals to release CCTV

Barretto is now appealing to airport authorities to release their CCTV because only the footage can say who really started the brawl.

“Mga Kristiyano po kami at hindi kami sinungaling. Kung puwede po tulungan kami ng media na kulitin ang airport na tulungan kaming hingin ang CCTV ng airport,” she said.

“Ayaw po nila i-release. According to them, hindi raw nakunan or chine-check pa. Hindi ko alam sino ang nagho-hold. Iyon lang po ang makapagsasabi kung sino ang nagsimula,” she added.

File charges

Meanwhile, Barretto said she and Santiago are considering filing charges against Tulfo.

“Kausap namin ang lawyers namin kasi hindi ho biro iyon. Kung ako na babae kaya niyang tadyakan at itulak ng ganyan ganyan, hindi ho maganda ang ginagawa niya. Nag-aamok siya ng ganun lang? Tinatanong lang siya ng maayos tapos magwawala siya ng ganun?” she said.

Barretto said Tulfo even threatened them while at the precinct.

“Pagpasok ko nag-hello pa ho siya, nang-aalaska pa. Tawa siya ng tawa hindi ko alam kung bakit. Ngumingiti-ngiti siya eh. Tapos nagbitaw ho siya ng salita na hindi niyo alam kung sino ang kinakalaban niyo. Iyon ang sinabi niya sa amin. Thrineaten niya ho kami,” she said.

Mayweather vs. Cotto Results: Floyd Mayweather Defeats Miguel Cotto

 

Floyd Mayweather moved his perfect record to 43-0 with a victory over Miguel Cotto on Saturday night in Las Vegas.

It was another dominating performance for Money as he won a unanimous decision, 117-111, 117-111, 118-110.

Despite the lopsided scorecards, it was an entertaining fight. Money landed a few blows that would have floored a lesser fighter, but Cotto kept charging, and he was even able to draw blood from Mayweather's nose.

In the end, it was just another tidy victory for the undefeated champ.

At this stage of the game, talking about a Mayweather win is like saying USA Basketball was really good in the early 1990s.

Money was able to come back from a 16-month layoff last September and defeat Victor Ortiz via knockout. That bout did end in some controversy, as Ortiz was trying to touch gloves with Mayweather before getting blasted with a vicious right hand.

Say what you want about the victory, but it is a testament to Mayweather as a fighter that he would be able to come right back after being gone for so long against a really good boxer who was nearly 10 years younger than him and look so good.

Cotto was not exactly the opponent fight fans were hoping to see Mayweather go up against on Saturday night. That is not to say he was a bad choice, just not the most popular choice.

Now that Mayweather has taken care of business against Cotto, all eyes will be on Manny Pacquiao and his June 9 bout against Timothy Bradley.

Like Cotto, Bradley is not exactly the opponent that everyone envisioned for Pacquiao. It will be interesting to see what happens with these two superstars if Pacquiao walks away with a victory next month.

For now, all we can do is bask in the glow of another Mayweather victory, this time against Miguel Cotto.

Ara Mina Wants Public Apology from Cristine Reyes

Actress Ara Mina demands a public apology from sister Cristine Reyes before she seat in a reconciliation talk with the latter. Ara confirmed that Cristine sent her a text message saying that she longs to end her rift with her older sister.

It can be recalled that last month, Ara filed libel and grave coercion charges against Cristine out of the latter's personal attacks through SMS sent on Ara (read related article here). Ara and Cristine's dispute is said to stem from a remaining balance for a house they bought for their mother.

In a statement sent by Ara Mina to PEP.ph, she wanted Cristine to go public and admit that she wronged her sister then apologize.

Here is Ara Mina's full statement sent to PEP:

Nais ko pong kumpirmahin na nag-text sa akin si Cristine at nakikipag-ayos.

"Hindi po ako sumagot dahil hinihintay kong aminin niya ang kanyang nagawang pagkakamali at humingi siya ng paumanhin sa kanyang mga nagawa.

“Iba ho kasi ang pinapalabas niya sa media sa ginagawa niya. Matapos niya kong i-text ng pakikipag-ayos ay pinagsisigawan naman niya ang Mommy namin. Yun po ba ang nagsisisi?

“Masakit ang sugat na ginawa ng kanyang mga paninira sa akin. Siniraan niya ako sa maraming tao.

“Mali po ang ikinakalat ng kanyang kampo na ako ang nagsa-publiko ng mga bagay na ito.

"Si Cristine ang nanira sa akin sa ibang tao.

"Ginawa ko lamang po ang tanging paraan na nakita ko upang matigil ang ginagawa niyang paninira sa akin at upang mabigyan siya ng leksyon kaya po ako nagsampa ng kaso.

“Sa awa po ng Diyos, tumigil na ang paninira niya sa akin sa text. Subalit walang pagsisisi on her part at sa kanyang ginawa.

"Paano mo patatawarin ang isang taong hindi naman umaamin na siya ay may nagawang pagkakamali?

“Mahal ko ang kapatid kong si Cristine pero kahit mabigat sa loob ko, kailangan ko gawin ito para proteksyunan naman ang sarili ko sa mga mapanira at mapanghamak na text nya.

“Hinihintay ko po ang public apology ni Cristine.

"Sabihin niya sa publiko na ang mga sinabi niyang paninira sa akin ay hindi totoo. Aminin niyang siya ay nagkamali at saka siya humingi ng tawad.

“Kapag nagawa na niya iyon, marahil ay maaari na kaming mag-usap upang maibalik ang dati naming relasyon na siya mismo ang sumira.

“Anumang sugat ay napaghihilom ng panahon. Subalit ang pagpapatawad ay ibinibigay lamang sa taong nagsisisi at humihingi ng tawad.”

Andi Eigenmann Denies Involvement in Albie's Beating

Actress Andi Eigenmann denied that she has something to do with ex-boyfriend Albie Casiño being beaten by her friends yet admitted that she confronted Albie and splashed wine on the latter's face. It was earlier today when Albie was assaulted by Andi's companions in a bar in Makati City. Albie reportedly incurred injuries after being beaten and hit by wine bottle on the head (CLICK here to read the story)

In an official statement sent to ABS-CBNnews.com on Saturday, May 5, Andi Eigenmann confirmed that she splashed wine on Albie's face but asserted that she had nothing to do with her alleged companions assaulting Albie.

“It was my first time seeing him face to face. He gave me a bad look and I felt really bad. I thought I have moved on but because of the incident wounds of the past came back.”

“I admit that out of impulse, I threw wine on his face, and the next thing I heard was he was being beaten up outside.”

“I ran up to ask him how he was. By his reaction and the way he was cursing at me, it seemed he readily thought I had something to do with it.”

“I was inside when it happened. I believe it should be acceptable for him to accuse me of such a thing, but I honestly don’t have anything to do with it.”

According to Albie's mother, her son is now resting after going through a CT scan and other medical tests at the Makati Medical Center. The actor’s mother, however, has yet to confirm if Albie sustained serious injuries from the alleged clash with Eigenmann’s companions. Mrs. Casiño earlier also bared plans to file charges against those involved in the brawl.

PBB Teens 4 Scandal: Kit and Yves allegedly have GFs outside, strategy ang pag-gawa ng love teams para sumikat!

Kit Thompson and Yves Flores, parehas ang manager (along with Ryan Boyce) sa labas at strategy daw nila ito ang pag-gawa ng love teams para pag-usapan at sumikat? Not bad at hindi ito malayong mangyari! The more na pag-usapan sila, the more ang taong mag-aabang sa kanila, the more na susuportahan sila.

Ang sinasabing girlfriend ni Kit Thompson ay si Anthea Ruiz, na nag-aaral ngayon sa UST sa kursong BS Travel Management. Pero kahit sila pa rin daw ay todo pa rin ang pag-gawa ng eksena ni Kit sa loob ng bahay between Karen and Myrtle. Si Kit din ay kabilang sa dating cast ng movie na Tween Hearts kasama ang mga Kapuso tweens na sina Elmo Magalona at Alden Richards.

Ang current girlfriend naman ni Yves Flores ay nagngangalang Kim Balot. Makikitang hindi apektado at todo suporta parin itong si Kim kay Yves kahit na todo ang panliligaw nito kay Myrtle, ayon na rin sa twitter (deleted) ni Kim. Malamang ay napag-usapan na nila ito bago pa pumasok ang “Masunuring son ng Tarlac.”

I have nothing against the two and the manager should be proud that this act is working if indeed true. Pero kawawa lang sa huli kung masasaktan yung mga girls na nasa loob ng bahay. What do you guys think?

American Idol 2012 Top 5 Results: Jessica Sanchez Safe, Skylar Laine Eliminated!

After receiving much praise from her second song especially, Jessica Sanchez is safe and now joins the top 4 of American Idol 2012 along with Philip Philips, Joshua Ledet and Hollie Cavanagh. (Watch Jessica perform “You Are So Beautiful” and “Proud Mary”)

Bottom two:

Hollie Cavanagh and Skylar Laine

Eliminated:

Skylar Laine

  Watch the FULL EPISODE here.

Result show recap:

In early results tonight, American Idol told news that Joshua Ledet was advancing. His performance of To Love Somebody drew massive praise last night. Randy Jackson told news “That’s what it’s really all about.” But the review that dominated news came from Jennifer Lopez. She told Joshua that “There’s so few people who could perform that way. You are one of the best singers I’ve seen in 50 years, since James Brown.” Steven Tyler also loved the performance.

Many of the judges loved Jessica Sanchez perform You Are So Beautiful. But after a shocking elimination and save earlier in this season, Jessica’s fate seemed uncertain. Some news analysts are still unsure if voters will advance her to the American Idol 2012 finals.

Randy Jackson said “This girl is on top of the leaderboard.” Jennifer Lopez said she “captivated the whole audience.” And Steven Tyler said that she is going to be female singer to beat this season.

Skylar Laine, however, delivered an impressive performance last night. But was her rendition of You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me strong enough to advance her tonight? Randy Jackson told news he loved it. Jennifer said Laine “might” win this season. And Steven gave marginal praise as well.

A trio of Jessica Sanchez, Hollie Cavanagh, and Skylar Laine got top marks for their performance of Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher and Higher. Randy said it was a “very nice job.” Jennifer said it was “cute”. And Steve said they “sang the h–ll out of it.”

Also problematic for tonight’s elimination was Hollie Cavanagh. She was impressive but not exceptional on Bleeding Love, so claimed the judges last night. Randy said it was “unbelievable”. But Jennifer called it “beautiful”. Steven however told news “I loved it. You nailed it.”

Is the person to beat this season Jessica Sanchez or Joshua Ledet? Last night, the answer was Joshua. He was also strong with “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg”. Randy told news that the performance “can bring R&B back.” Jennifer said he was amazing and Steven called him “one of the top 2 best Idols of all time.”

Last week, the bottom three was Skylar Laine, Elise Testone and Hollie Cavanagh. The week before, the bottom three was Elise, Hollie, and Colton. But with Elise and Colton gone, what happened tonight on American Idol?

The bottom two tonight were Hollie Cavanagh and Skylar Laine. And in the end, eliminated tonight May 3 was Skylar Laine.

We are only hours away from finding out who among the latest Idol hopeful will get the boot! Who do you think is going home this week?

Kris Allen picks Jessica Sanchez as his ‘Idol’ favorite!

After Akon expressed his adoration for Fil-Mexican Idol contestant, Jessica Sanchez last week, American Idol Season 8 winner, Kris Allen, says in an interview that Jessica Sanchez is also his personal favorite to win this season and gives advice to the contestants.

“She’s the most ready, vocally. Her voice blows me everytime! I love watching her sing. I think she’s incredible.

I would love to write a song for her.”

Floyd Mayweather chickens out again, says fighting Manny Pacquiao would be a health risk!

Floyd Mayweather Jr. delivered quite a performance Tuesday and it had nothing to do with his boxing skills.

A question sparked a 10-minute speech from Mayweather, regarding the tireless topic of why he and fellow pound-for-pound great Manny Pacquiao have not come to terms on a potential multimillion dollar fight.

In a response that eventually drew applause from his entourage, Mayweather once again said it is "basic common sense" that Pacquiao has used performance-enhancing drugs and getting in the ring with him would be a risk to his future health.

"Health is more important than anything," Mayweather said. "Because guess what? When my career is over, if I'm hurt because of something that has happened in a fight, I can't come to you and say, 'I need (money).' "

Mayweather's hardest point came when he admitted that he believes the boxing world doesn't even care if Pacquiao is using or not -- that the desire to see the two fight now surpasses any concern over his safety.

"People say, 'We don't give a f--- if he's taking or not; we just want to see the fight. We don't give a f--- about your health and we don't give a f--- about your family.' " Mayweather said.

"I care about my family. I love my family. They're going to be there when no one else is there. When my career is over, you're all going to move on to the next one."

He went on to accuse Top Rank promoter Bob Arum, who represents Pacquiao, and Don King of not caring about fighters' well being and re-emphasized he won't forfeit health for money. A fight against Pacquiao would be expected to be the highest grossing bout in boxing history.

"Don King and Bob Arum don't see out the eyes of a fighter because they're not a fighter," Mayweather said. "All they care about is some f------ money. I care about a fighter's well being because I am a fighter.

"I know how it is to have a broken rib the rest of your life. I know how it is to piss blood. You all don't know nothing about this."

Mayweather has pointed to Pacquiao's rise through weight classes and the transfer of his power through them as evidence of steroid use. Since 2008, Pacquiao has won titles in five weight divisions and recorded four knockouts in nine fights.

"It took me years to get to here -- years," Mayweather said. "I'm going up in weight but I'm not walking through no damn fighters. (Pacquiao) is 106; now he decides to walk through (Miguel) Cotto? Cotto can't knock down (Shane) Mosley, but can he?"

Mayweather began his professional career at 130 pounds in 1996. He's fought the majority of his career as a welterweight. Saturday's fight against Cotto will be contested at 154 pounds.

In December 2009, a deal between the two nearly came to terms but ultimately fell through when Pacquiao refused to submit to random blood testing.

The Filipino and Arum, who represented Mayweather earlier in his career, since have softened their stance on that request. Mayweather scoffed at Arum's comments Tuesday, referring to him as a "professional liar."

"This is how the world is, you get writers saying, 'Floyd is scared,' " he said. "No, Floyd cares about his family. Floyd is smart.

"You all know for a fact I'm not scared. You all know that."

Sure Floyd, sure.

Derek Ramsay confirms break up with Angelica Panganiban

Actor Derek Ramsay himself confirmed that he and Kapamilya actress Angelica Panganiban had parted ways for now. Derek revealed to Yahoo! OMG that they were in a cool-off stage right now.

“We are in a cool-off stage. We’re giving each other space.” Derek relayed to Yahoo! OMG over the phone on May 2.

Derek and Angelica never had the chance to talk to each other since Holy Week when Angelica left for Vietnam with John Lloyd Cruz for the shoot of the Star Magic movie while Derek took a vacation in Australia.

Last month, rumors about Derek and Angelica's break-up surfaced after reports of Angelica being linked to John Lloyd and Derek to sexbomb Aifa. This was intensified by Derek not thanking Angelica in his acceptance speech during the 43rd Guillermo Mendoza Box Office Entertainment awards where he was hailed as the Box Office King.

Today, after confirming that they had called it quits for now, Derek was quick to say that there was no third party involved saying that she trusted Angelica completely, being not the type who will fool around. However, Derek did not divulge the real reason why their relationship is on the rocks.

Some speculates that the real reason for Derek and Angelica's break up, if not the third party was Derek's decision to transfer to TV5. Angelica, who was in Vietnam when Derek decided to shift networks said that her now ex-boyfriend did not tell her about it. She just knew it in the news although she expressed support to Derek's decision after her return from shooting abroad, saying that if Derek finds happiness in his decision, then she will give her all-out support.

Above all this issue, Derek expressed his intentions to talk to Angelica to iron matters out if their busy schedules permit.

“If things go well, okay. But if not, she will always be my friend,” Derek declares.

If this is really the end of their 6-year relationship, then what a sad news to hear. We hope they can straighten things up and talk about their problems to save their relationship.
