Sarah Geronimo allegedly got P25M and a house from Manny Villar, a lot lower than what Dolphy received for endorsing the same presidential candidate.
IS it true that Sarah Geronimo was given (not paid) a whopping P25 million, yes P25 million, as fee to endorse presidentiable Manny Villar?
This was aside from a house that she also allegedly got from Villar.
The market value of the house and lot, we are told, is P5 million.
Is it true that Kris Aquino was also reportedly paid P25 million, yes P25 million, when she endorsed then presidentiable Gloria Arroyo?

How about Dolphy, another Manny Villar endorser?
"Ay, mas mababa si Dolphy," the source said.
Why? we asked again.
"Siguro, mahina ang broker niya," our source answered. "O, dahil hindi siya nag-presyo. O, naningil. Binigyan lang siya."
Dolphy’s statement about Senator Villar is one of the most effective endorsements of the presidential aspirant. Of course, the "Siya ang Magtatapos ng Kahirapan" jingle, also about Senator Villar, is extremely successful.

Ruffa Gutierrez is curious to know more about John Lloyd Cruz’s reaction to the report that his closeness with a certain beauty queen-actress is no longer as hot as it used to be.
Why, is she the beauty queen-actress being alluded to in those blind items?
Ruffa, instead of answering, just laughed.
We told Ruffa that John Lloyd didn’t say he had cut off his relationship with the beauty-queen actress. The two of them, he said at the presscon of his upcoming movie with Bea Alonzo, "Miss You Like Crazy," continue to be friends and they are still in touch.
Funny, but the closeness between Ruffa and John Lloyd came about after their appearance together in the series, "I Love Betty la Fea," which had Bea playing the title role.
Speaking of Bea, she thinks, she says, that she and John Lloyd may have been brought together by fate.
After all, in their first soap together, "Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay," they were not supposed to be partners.
"Originally, ang kapareha ni Lloydie (her pet name for John Lloyd) was Ate Rica Peralejo, who was supposed to be my elder sister.
"That’s why may mga eksena kami together ni Lloydie," Bea related.
"Kaya maipagmamalaki kong, I was Bea’s first kiss – both off and onscreen," John Lloyd cut in. "At 14 years old at that time, inosenteng-inosente pa si Bea, in a way."
Which is why, John Lloyd is amazed at Bea’s transportation.
"Kasi ba naman," related John Lloyd, with an enigmatic smile on his face, "kung makipaghalikan siya now, she will turn you crazy.
"But seriously now, I miss working with Bea. It’s good to have her back in my arms, wika nga. And vice versa, hopefully.
They have not worked together for three years. "Kaya welcome sa amin ang pagpapareha naming muli dito sa ‘Miss You Like Crazy’," John Lloyd stated. "Bale ba, ang director naming ay si Direk Cathy Garica-Molina, who, Bea and I admit, had a hand in what has become of us."

"Miss You Like Crazy" is a production of Star Cinema.
John Lloyd and Maricar Reyes play sweethearts. They have an ideal relationship, until Bea, while on holiday from her work as a hotel front desk officer in Kuala Lumpur, enters the picture.
Bea and John Lloyd meet and match, only for fate to step in and bring them apart.
They meet again, only for John Lloyd to find out that it isn’t possible for their love story to start all over again, for fate anew is playing tricks on them.
In the end, though, love triumphs.

"Miss You Like Crazy" marks Direk Cathy’s first directorial job after she lost her husband in a freak biking accident in Baguio City last year.
Her last film with John Lloyd and Sarah was the blockbuster "One More Chance."
