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?
