Salamat Dok: Bell's Palsy

Linggo nang umaga sa Salamat Dok, parang sabi ko malakas ata ang earphone ko. Sumasakit ang tenga ko. Binalewala ko lang. During TV Patrol that night, parang may mali sa mata ko. The following day, ganun pa din parang pagod pa din ang mata. Tapos, meeting sa Salamat dok. During our meeting, sinabi na rin sa akin na magpatingin ka na sa doktor. Mahapdi tapos umiiyak. Nagpunta ako sa neurologist. Nag-test, itaas ang kilay.. .isa lang tumataas... pikit... reflexes. Sabi ng doctor, “You're correct, Bell's Palsy.”

- Bernadette Sembrano-Aguinaldo

Mahigit dalawang linggo na nang tamaan ng Bell’s Palsy ang host ng Salamat Dok at all-around ABS-CBN Correspondent na si Bernadette Sembrano-Aguinaldo. Naging usap-usapan ang kanyang kondisyon hindi lang ng mga manonood sa telebisyon kundi pati na rin sa mga social networking sites.

Mula nang pumutok ang nangyari sa ating host, mas naging curious at aware na rin ang marami sa kondisyong ito. Paano ba ito nakukuha? Nakakahawa ba ito? Totoo bang pwede itong makuha sa pagbabad sa hangin ng electric fan? Ano nga ba itong Bell’s Palsy?

Definition: Bell’s Palsy

Ang Bell’s Palsy ay paralysis o panghihina ng kalamnan ng isang bahagi ng mukha kaya ito tumatabingi. Partikular na tinatamaan at namamaga ang cranial nerve VII, na sumusuporta sa mga kalamnan ng mukha.

Ano ang facial nerve?

  • Ugat sa mukha na nagmumula sa utak na dumadaan sa maliiit na butas sa bungo sa ilalim ng tainga
  • Nagpapagalaw sa muscle sa mukha para magkaroon ng facial expressions facial nerves
  • Nagpapasara sa talukap ng mata at nakatutulong sa panlasa

Sanhi

Hindi malinaw ang dahilan ng Bell’s Palsy. Pero paniwala ng maraming neurologist, dulot ito ng herpes simplex virus. Kapag tinamaan ang cranial nerve VII, dito na nagkaka-Bell’s palsy. May mga taong nag-aakalang dahil ito sa exposure sa lamig, sobrang pag-iisip sa gabi at kung anu-ano pa.

Ang sabi ni Dr. Emmanuel Eduardo, isang neurologist at Director ng International Institute for Neurosciences at St. Luke's Medical Center: “If you look at the literatures, there’s nothing that says kapag natapat sa cold or electric fan magkakaroon ng Bell’s palsy. The literatures cite studies abroad eh natural na maginaw na doon eh. Probably they don’t see the difference. Sa atin na mainit ang panahon, kapag itinutok sa mukha ang electric fan na puro ganun lang, may possibility na pwedeng mangyari yun. Ngayon kasi nakikita na ang cause na sa virus. Hindi pa rin maintindihan kung bakit nagkakaroon ng virus sa pagtapat sa electric fan. Meron ding ibig sabihin na hindi sila related.”

Signs and Symptoms

  • Biglaang paralysis o panghihina ng kalamnan ng isang bahagi ng mukha
  • Labis na pagluha o pagkatuyo ng mata
  • Pananakit sa paligid ng panga o likod ng tainga
  • Sensitibong pandinig
  • Pagtabingi ng mukha
  • Walang panlasa
  • Hindi maisara ang mata
  • Hindi maikunot ang noo
  • Bumabagsak ang corner ng bibig
  • Tumutulo ang laway

Is this something serious?

“Ang Bell’s Palsy ay benign condition. Hindi serious, gumagaling nang kusa kadalasan. Kailangan lang therapy. In most instances temporary, depende sa cause. Ang ibang case pwedeng permanent, kung aksidenteng na-fracture ang temporal bone ‘yong dinadaanan ng nerve,” paliwanag pa ni Dr. Eduardo.

Who are at risk

  • Diabetics
  • May mga infection tulad ng inflammatory process sa tenga
  • May mga tumor
  • Mga buntis

Pagkakaiba: Bell’s Palsy at Stroke

Maraming nagkakamali na ito ay stroke o transient ischemic attack. Sabi ng mga eksperto, magkaiba ang dalawang kondisyong ito.

“Sa Bell’s Palsy, kalahati ng mukha ang apektado. Sa stroke naman ang involved ay lower quadrant ng mukha. Naiikunot pa rin ang noo. Most importantly, very rare sa stroke na mukha lang ang affected. Pati face, arm at leg on the same side of the body at hindi maigalaw ang kahalating parte ng katawan,” dagdag ni Dr. Eduardo.

Complications

  • Tuluyang pagkasira ng facial nerve
  • Maling pagtubo ng nerve fibers
  • Partial o ganap na pagkabulag ng hindi maipikit na mata dahil sa sobrang pagkatuyo o pagkagasgas ng cornea

Treatment

Therapy

Payo ni Dr. Eduardo: “Kailangan gawin agad ang therapy. As long as you keep that nerve working, there’s a big chance na maaga ang paggaling. Sa sugar text pa lang, 2 days na. By that time ang nerve mamatay na yan. I do the test but I advise the patient to do the therapy as soon as possible.

Medications and Supplement

  • Steroids for the first 2 days
  • Anti-viral at anti-inflammatory drugs
  • Vitamin B complex especially B12 that will helps nourish the nerve.

Eye care

  • Lagyan ng eye pad
  • Patakan ng eye drops para hindi ito matuyo
  • Maaaring lagyan ng tape ang talukap ng mata habang natutulog

Facial exercise

  • Dahan-dahang masahihin ang muscles ng mukha pataas nang 10 minuto
  • Uminom palagi ng tubig o kumain ng chewing gum

Acupuncture

Early Detection

“Integrity of the nerves should be preserved. Una, namamaga lang, pag binigyan ng medicines, napi- preserve ang integrity ng nerves. Kung delayed, mga 1-2 wks bago nakita, nada-damage ang nerve. Nagkakaroon ng loss of continuity. Napuputol ang nerve and it takes time bago tumubo ulit. Ang problem, nagkakaroon ng maling pagtubo or faulthy regeneration. Yung nerve na papunta sa eyelid, pumupunta sa corner ng mouth. Nagkakaroon ng abnormal movement. Pumapangit ang paggaling,” paliwanag ni Dr. Eduardo.

“Happy ako na I went through this phase. Sa dami ng pasyente na nakakahalubilo natin, iba rin yung maramdaman ko ang nararamdaman nila.” ~ Bernadette Sembrano-Aguinaldo

Latest News from Salamat Dok: ‘Salamat Dok’ Doubles Up on Health Info and Public Service



Double the credibility and double the authority when it comes to giving medical information, advice, and public service in the new “Salamat Dok” with Bernadette Sembrano and her new co-anchor Alvin Elchico beginning Saturday (July 23).

“We will be your guide on medical issues,” said Bernadette who is excited to be with Alvin in the program. According to her, Alvin is very articulate and can naturally share information in a down to earth manner. “Alvin has a gift of gab,” said Bernadette.

“We will bring you new and accurate information on health topics,” said Alvin. “This will be a new challenge for me. From simplifying complex consumer stories, I now have to help Bernadette make Filipinos understand medical and health issues.”

Even though “Salamat Dok” is Alvin’s first national TV show, Alvin is not new to anchoring health shows. He was the former anchor of DZMM’s nightly program “Magandang Gabi, Dok” two years ago. Prior to this, Alvin was part of the defunct program “Special Assignment” and anchored “TV Patrol Bacolod” during 1990s.

Just recently, Bernadette was the talk of the social media world, after viewers noticed her eye twitching in her various TV appearances. The broadcast journalist publicly admitted she has Bell’s palsy and talked about it in the program as well as The Buzz.

“I was overwhelmed by the messages I got from people via email, text, and Twitter. People started telling me that they also have bell’s palsy and I learned that there are many Filipinos who have it,” said Bernadette who is now recovering and getting better from the said ailment. She plans to tackle it in an episode of “Krusada,” which she will work on.

So join Bernadette and Alvin as they bring you the latest health news, events, and breakthroughs in the segment “Health Bulletin” starting this week.

Medical experts will also continue to give expert advice and opinions in “Payo ni Doc,” health trivias in “Alam N’yo Ba,” information on the drugs you take in “Medicine 101,” ways to be fit in “Fitness and Wellness,” celebrity diet and beauty secrets in “Health Police,” home remedies in “May Remedyo D’yan,” healthy food recipes in “Kusina Clinic,” parenting tips in “Family Matters,” and public service segment “Lingkod Kapamilya.”

Aside from “Salamat Dok,” Bernadette co-anchors “TV Patrol” on ABS-CBN every Saturday and Sunday and “Radyo Balita” on DZMM every afternoon at 4 PM. Alvin, on the other hand, is heard on DZMM in “S.R.O.” on weeknights at 7:30 PM and on “Konsumer Atbp” every Saturday, 10:30 AM.

Don’t miss “Salamat Dok” every Saturday, 5:50-6:50 AM and every Sunday, 7:30-8:30 AM on ABS-CBN. For this Sunday (July 24), “Salamat Dok” will have an earlier telecast at 7 am to give way for the replay of the Azkals game.

REDWOOD CITY, CA – Underscoring the dedication to journalistic excellence and integrity in serving the Filipinos worldwide, Balitang America senior reporter Henni Espinosa was named the lone Filipino media awardee by BAYAN-USA for the latter’s 6th anniversary celebration, to be held this Friday, February 4, at the Bayanihan Community Center in San Francisco.

Espinosa will receive the Media Bayani (Media Hero) award for her eight years of service as a reporter covering California for Balitang America, the only nightly news program for the Filipino community aired in North America via ABS-CBN International’s The Filipino Channel (TFC).

Espinosa has a Bachelor’s Degree in Broadcast Communication at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City and a Masters Degree in Communication at the Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia.

BAYAN-USA is an alliance of progressive Filipino groups in the U.S. representing organizations of students, scholars, women, workers, and youth.

Nakasama ni Bekimon si Ate B sa morning show ng Umagang Kay Ganda na naging mainstay in a few months. At sabay sila nagpaaalam sa naturang morning show bago ang reformat ng UKG.

Latest from ABSCBN News: Bernadette Sembrano shares Bell's Palsy story


Bernadette Sembrano during her acupuncture treatment featured in Salamat Dok.


It was a hot Friday afternoon in Davao, and broadcast journalist Bernadette Sembrano was in an air-conditioned car.

Two days later, she had sensitive hearing, and had difficulty controlling the movement of her eyelids.

She was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy.

"Linggo ng umaga...parang sabi ko malakas ata 'yung earphones ko kasi sumasakit 'yung tenga ko edi binalewala ko lang baka masyado lang malakas. And then during 'TV Patrol' that night sabi ko parang may mali sa mata ko sa kaliwa, twitch nang twitch. Pinikit ko lang during commercial para ipahinga 'yung mata," Sembrano said in a taped interview aired on ABS-CBN's weekend health program "Salamat Dok," where she is a host.

She continued, "Sabi ko, 'Dok feeling ko I have Bell's Palsy.' Pag-iyak ko isang part ng mukha ko lang kumulubot...so sabi ko mukhang Bell's Palsy na nga."

Bell's Palsy is a form of facial paralysis named after Scottish surgeon, anatomist and neurologist Charles Bell. Dr. Emmanuel Eduardo, director of St Luke's International Institute for Neurosciences, said this is a benign condition.

"Hindi po ito serious and gumagaling sila nang kusa kadalasan. Kailangan lang i-therapy," Eduardo told Sembrano in an interview on "Salamat Dok."

It is usually caused by a virus or an infection, he said. Symptoms include watering or dryness in one eye, sensitive hearing in one ear, pain at the back of one ear or around the jaw and trouble tasting at the back of the tongue or the affected side.

Some of the celebrities who were previously diagnosed with Bell's Palsy include George Clooney, Pierce Brosnan and Sylvester Stallone.

Unlike stroke, Bell's Palsy only affects a person's face.

"Sa stroke hindi lang mukha kadalasan. Very rare ang stroke na mukha lang ang affected. Pati ang face, ang arm at leg ng same side. Minsan sa opposite side," Eduardo said.

Treatment

Right after her check-up, Sembrano underwent therapy and medical treatment.

She also took steroids and B-Complex vitamins to help nourish her facial nerves, and made extra effort to move her face by drinking from a straw more frequently and raising her eyebrows.

Asked about her personal experience with Bell's Palsy, Sembrano said, "Ang laki-laki ng mundo, alam mo yun? Ang dami-daming problema ng ibang tao at eto lang ang pinagdadaanan ko. Buti nga ito lang. And it could have been much worse, diba? Masarap sa pakiramdam ang napagdaanan ko dahil marami kang maiisip, marami kang realizations pero alam mong sandali lang na hindi naman pala magtatagal at salamat sa Diyos na hindi naman nagtagal."

She added, "Happy ako na I went through this phase kasi sa dami ng mga pasyenteng nakakahalubilo natin [sa 'Salamat Dok']. Iba rin talaga 'yung nararamdaman mo 'yung nararamdaman nila."

Sembrano also thanked her family, friends and supporters as she slowly recovers from facial paralysis.

"Maraming salamat sa mga nagpadala ng messages of concern sa text, sa Facebook, sa Twitter, sa ABS-CBN call center partikular na kay Ms. Merceditas Carandang ng San Pedro, Laguna. Sa lahat ng doktor, family, thank you very much," she said.

Eduardo commended Sembrano for her efforts, saying that therapy and facial exercises help Bell's Palsy patients recover faster.

"As long as you keep the nerve working, there's a big chance na maaga ang paggaling," he said.

Meanwhile, other ways to help treat Bell's Palsy include acupuncture and eating food items rich in copper such as whole grains, beans, nuts, potatoes, vegetables and dried fruits such as prunes.

Ang pinakaimportante kasi, una alam mo kung sino ka, alam mo kung ano ang paninindigan mo, alam mo na wala kang sinasaktang tao. Importante na mayroon kang support system tulad ng isang nagmamahal sa ‘yong asawa or pamilya,”kanyang pagbubunyag.

Hindi rin pinalampasan ang kanyang naging nakaraang buhay nang tanungin din sa tweet ang naging special daw na pagtitinginan nuon ng kanyang kapareha si Ted Failon na nakasama niya sa "Hoy Gising" at "Tambalang Failon at Sanchez".

“OMG. Hindi po. Best friends lang talaga kami forever. Kasi noong nakilala ko si Ted may asawa na siya. So hindi talaga kami nagkakatugma dahil noong siya naman ang nagbinata na ulit, may asawa na ako. Talagang hindi pinagtatagpo ng tadhana,”

Korina also answered about how she keeps beautiful glow.

“Wala lang trying hard lang ho. You strive hard lang po,”

KRUSADA: SAGWAN NG KARANGALAN

ANCHOR: DYAN CASTILLEJO 

Save Philippine Dragonboat


Sa kanilang mga laban dala ng ating mga atelata ang karangalan para sa ating bayan. Bawat Pilipino ay kabahagi sa kanilang tagumpay at pagwawagi. Pero bakit tila pinupulitika pati ang ating mga atleta at resulta nito, kawalan ng suporta sa kanila.   

Krusada ni Dyan Castillejo na ilantad at labanan ang pulitika sa likod ng larangan ng pampalakasan na umiipit at sumisira ng suporta para sa mga Pilipinong manlalaro.

Philippine Dragonboat World Champions, Astig! ayon sa Bandila!

Gaya ng lamang  Philippine Dragon Boat World Champions.  Kung tutuusin mga kilalang superpowers tulad ng USA, Russia, UK, Germany at China ang kanila ng natalo. Dalawang world record ang hawak ng Pilipinas sa sport na ito kung saan mahigit 70 bansa ang miyembro ng International Dragon Boat Federation. 

Pero sa tuwing lumalaban sa labas ng bansa nagbabaon lamang sila ng bigas, delata at kung anu-ano pa dahil wala silang pocket money. Minsan kailangan pa nilang sumisid sa dagat at manguha ng talaba para lang may makain. Kung anu-ano ring masasamang alegasyon ang binabato sa kanila at pati sa kanilang docksite pinaalis ang dragon boat team.  Ang masakit na katotohanan nagbibigay na nga sila ng karangalan pero mimsong mga opisyal pa ng bansa ang hindi sumusuporta sa kanila.

At ang masakalap, hindi lamang ang Philippine Dragonboat World Champions Team ang nakakaranas ng ganitong sistema ng kalakaran. Maraming pang mga Pilipinong atleta ang nagdurusa sa ganitong problema.

Dahil sa pamumulitika ng mga nasa pamahalaan may mga swimmers na nadisqualify sa kanilang laban. Ang mga Wushu artist naman hindi binigyan ng allowance nung panahon ng kanilang kompetisyon. Maging ang Karadeto team, hindi rin nakalusot sa lupit ng panggigipit. Binigyan sila ng tiket papunta sa kanilang laban sa ibang bansa, pero one way lang.

Bakit nga ba dinadanas ito ng ating mga atleta? Pakinggan natin ang kanilang mga hinaing. Ano nga bang kinabukasan ang naghihintay sa ating mga atleta kung patuloy na sisirain ng pulitika ang larangan ng sports? Mapipigilan pa ba ang ganitong kalakaran? Alamin ang buong storya sa Krusada sa susunod na Huwebes, ika-14 ng Hunyo, 2011. Dahil ang tunay na paninindigan ay hindi puro salita lamang, making at makiisa sa Krusada ni Dyan Castillejo! Maaari ring bumisita sa aming Twitter para sa inyong mga kumento! http://twitter.com/KrusadaTV

MANILA, Philippines - Broadcast journalist Bernadette Sembrano disclosed that she has Bell's Palsy and is now undergoing therapy.

In her Twitter account @Bernadette_ABS, Sembrano revealed it first manifested on "TV Patrol," and during a live airing of her public affairs show "Salamat Dok," her ear became sensitive.

"@DoctorJas nagmanifest during patrol. Sdok naman, sensitive na ear ko. Signs na pala ng bell's. Went monday agad," she tweeted last July 6.

Sembrano described her symptoms: "uncomfortable right ear, then feeling ko my eye was twitching. Sometimes biglaan."

She also said she is recovering well as it was detected early.

"@rojan88 naagapan kaya very good recovery ako. Very early detection in 24 hrs. Still going through therapy and acupuncture," Sembrano tweeted on July 6.

Her treatment program includes physical therapy thrice a week; acupuncture, massage and hot compress every day; and facial exercises 3 to 5 times a day. She is also taking vitamin B and steroids.

Many of her Twitter followers asked how she contracted it.

Sembrano said it is not hereditary and anyone can get it.

She added that "Western medicine sometimes say viral. Eastern, lamig sa mukha."

Sembrano said rehabilitation medicine doctors have noticed that it is common among people who usually stand in front of the electric fan or air conditioner after having come from a warm place.

"I was in davao last week super hot. My hunch. Common dring cold," she tweeted.

Facial nerve
According to MayoClinic.com, a swollen or inflamed facial nerve controlling the muscles causes Bell's Palsy.

The symptoms include facial droop, one-sided smile, pain around the jaw or in and behind the ear, and an eye that resists closing.

Anyone can have it, but it usually affects people aged 15 to 60. It added that a virus, usually herpes simplex, commonly causes Bell's Palsy.

The website added that symptoms improve in a few weeks, and recovery usually takes 3 to 6 months.

As symptoms mimic those of a stroke, people should seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Journalist Howie Severino also suffered from Bell's Palsy in 2008. He wrote in his blog that he got it the day after he dived at night.

Well-wishers

Many Twitter users wished Sembrano a fast recovery.

A netizen by the name of logbilogbi posted on Twitter: "@Bernadette_ABS Ms. Bernadette get well soon po. I miss your beautiful smile. :) God bless!"

A user named reneslazo tweeted: "I did not read tweet of Ms Bernadette Sembrano being sick one my favorite newscaster who works hard at helping indigent folks get well soon."

And zaraboijm wrote: "•• Awww! Bernadette Sembrano is suffering from Bell's palsy condition. Let's pray for her fast recovery. "

Sembrano is very much grateful for all the greetings and prayers for her recovery.

"Thank you sooooo much for all your greetings !!! I feel your love and concern :)," she posted.

"Hindi man makita sa labi ko, nakangiti po ang puso ko sa pag-aalala at pagmamahal ninyo. :D," Sembrano added.

Korina Sanchez dismisses separation rumor with hubby DOTC Secretary Mar Roxas

Korina Sanchez dismisses separation rumor with hubby DOTC Secretary Mar Roxas
"Sabi ko nga, talagang itong mga tsismosang inggiterang ito, sabi kong ganyan, lalo na noong hindi kami lumalabas, hiwalay na raw kami. Noong makita naman kami, nagpapanggap naman daw kami. Sabi ko, grabe na ito, hindi na tsismis ito, kampanya na ito ng paninira! Alam na alam mo, e," says Korina Sanchez about rumor that she and husband Mar Roxas have separated.

Halatang nagulat si Korina Sanchez sa pambungad na tanong agad sa kanya ng The Buzz tungkol sa intriga sa marriage life nila ni DOTC Secretary Mar Roxas.

"Oh no, hanggang ngayon?" natatawang reaksiyon niya sa set ng TV Patrol.

"Sabi ko nga, talagang itong mga tsismosang inggiterang ito, sabi kong ganyan, lalo na noong hindi kami lumalabas, hiwalay na raw kami.

"Noong makita naman kami, nagpapanggap naman daw kami.

"Sabi ko, grabe na ito, hindi na tsismis ito, kampanya na ito ng paninira! Alam na alam mo, e."

Nandiyang kesyo napapabayaan na raw ni Korina ang asawa dahil sa pagiging sobrang busy nitong muli sa kanyang career.

Sabi naman ni Korina, "Hindi totoo yun. Nag-aalagaan kami nang mabuting-mabuti.

"Hoy, ang guwapo ni Mar ngayon, ha! Care of," sabay turo sa kanyang sarili.

Dagdag pa niya, "Nagyo-yoga kami pareho. We diet together. We talk about a lot of things together. 

"E, kasi, nagbakasyon siya nang matagal before going back to government. So, nag-process kami together."

Diumano'y may mga babae pa raw na involved?

"Natatawa nga ako kay Mar. Sabi ko, 'Hoy, pinag-uusapan ka rito na hiwalay na raw tayo! Umuwi ka na nga galing New York. Akala nila hiwalay na talaga tayo.'

"Sabi niya, 'Talaga?'

"'Oo, may third party raw.'

"Sabi niya, 'Talaga? Sino yung lalaki?" natatawang kuwento ng news anchor.

"'Anong ako? Ikaw ang natsitsismis na may babae!'

"'Naku,' sabi niyang ganoon, 'huwag mo nang isipin 'yan.'

"And the names that come out are ridiculous! Pero siguro itong mga babaeng ito dahil magaganda rin, marami rin inggit sa kanila, sinisiraan din sila, di ba?"

So, hindi talaga totoong hiwalay na sila?

"Ay, hindi talaga!" mabilis na tugon ni Korina.

Mar and Korina plan to have a baby soon (Manila Bulletin)

MANILA, Philippines – “Honey, ang malas mo.”

This is what Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) Secretary Mar Roxas apparently told his wife, broadcast journalist Korina Sanchez, a few days ago.
When she asked why, she said he told her, “I will never leave you.”
“Sabi niya sa aking ganon, ‘You’re really stuck with me,’” Korina laughed as she shared the conversation she had with her husband to “The Buzz” in an interview held last July 5 on the set of Korina’s show, “TV Patrol.”
“Sabi nga niya minsan, depende sa mood, ‘Ang malas malas ko talaga.’ Sabi ko, ‘Bakit?’ ‘Ang malas ko, sobra kitang mahal!’ O, ‘di ba,” she proudly shared.
If there’s anything that these two have proven of late, it’s that being a very visible figure in show business does not always mean a good thing but, as it happens, so does being away from the limelight.
Married for almost two years now (since October 2009), Mar and Korina are not necessarily entertainment figures, but their marriage is just as beset with intrigues as any bona fide showbiz couple’s.
“Hanggang ngayon?” she laughed when the issue of their supposed split-up was broached. “Sabi ko nga, ‘Diyos ko talaga itong mga tsismosang inggiterang ito,’ sabi kong ganyan… Kung hindi kami nakikita, hiwalay na daw kami. Nung nakita na kami, nagpapanggap lang daw kami. Sabi ko, ‘Ibang klase ito, hindi na tsismis ito, kampanya na ito ng paninira.’ Alam na alam mo eh.”
Asked if there is truth to the rumor that she has been neglecting her husband, she replied, “Hindi totoo ‘yun! Naga-alagaan kami nang mabuting-mabuti.”
Perhaps wanting to give viewers an insight on how she really feels about Mar, she also bragged, “Oy ang gwapo ni Mar ngayon ha.” And also added that, “Nagyo-yoga kami pareho, we diet together, we talk about a lot of things together. Eh kasi nagbakasyon siya nang matagal, di ba, before going back to government. So, nag-process kami together.”
When it comes to the issue of having several women involved as the supposed reason for the rumored collapse of their marriage, Korina shared, “Oo [‘yun nga ang tsismis]… Natatawa nga ako kay Mar, sabi ko, ‘Oy, pinag-uusapan dito na hiwalay na raw tayo, unuwi ka na galing New York, akala yata nila hiwalay na talaga tayo.’ ‘Talaga?’ ‘Oo, may third party daw.’
Tapos sabi niya, ‘Talaga? Sino ‘yung lalaki?’ ‘Anong ako? Ikaw ang natsi-tsismis na may babae.’ ‘Naku,’ sabi niyang ganon, ‘’wag mo nang isipin ‘yan.’”
According to Korina, the names that have cropped up with the rumors “are really ridiculous,” alluding to people involving them in issues hurled at her and Mar.
“Kaya lang siguro, itong mga babaeng ito, dahil magaganda rin, marami ring inggit sa kanila, sinisiraan din sila, ‘di ba?”
Still, Korina pointed out that she’s not necessarily the forgiving kind. “Ako pa naman, ramdam ko pa lang sa buto ko, kahit walang ebidensiya, goodbye. Yes…”
“But he has never ever given me any reason to be jealous of anyone,” she adamantly said. “Pilit kaming pinaghihiwalay ano? Siguro kasi nakikita nila masyado kang masaya.”
Korina revealed that beyond being happy together, they hope to expand their family by having a baby.
“In the making,” she quipped. “Basta pinag-usapan na namin nang seryoso. Nasimulan na ‘yung process ng paghahanda—taking care of my body, I’ve been talking to my OB gynecologist again…”
Sharing her elation, she also said, “Nakikilig ako kasi parang wala siyang resistance sa idea, alam mo ‘yung ganon, di ba, na parang, lalaki siya na parang mapapaisip pa. Siya, go siya kaagad…
“I’m excited but you know, I don’t want to be too excited kasi I’m sure medyo mahihirapan na ako, ‘di ba?”
But despite the slight apprehension, Korina believes God will bless them. “I’ve been such a good girl, I’m sure ‘yan ang kanyang regalo sa lahat ng sakripisyo ko sa buhay ko, na bibigyan niya ako ng isang anak.”
In parting, Korina gave her husband a message: “Honey, I’m very proud of you. I’m very honored to be your wife and I will love you forever.”

Atty. Adel Tamano is the new face of ANC


Atty. Adel Tamano joins with ANC as a new host of his first chat show on television. The "Tamano Perspective" airs on Thursday starting July 14 at 7 PM on ANC (Sky Cable Channel 27). The show will talk about the latest issues with smart conversations and uninterrupted opinion coming from himself. The local and national news even in the social networking site will bring the most comprehensive updates in the said program.


As a lawyer and advocate, Tamano said that there is no fence-sitting on his first program. This engagement in televison can help him to see his venture to learn new skills as he will host the show for the very first time, and it can also find new ways to serve people. This program can help the people to be awaken in the current issues of today and to encourage them to take as one nation.

Tamano is an icon of the United Opposition in 2007 and run for Senatorial Seat in the last year's elections. He is also lectures legal writing and a scholar of Harvard University. He has also partnerships in Kapunan, Tamano, Javier & Associates and he is the president of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila.

"I won't be a naive anchor discussing matters that I haven't been seen or experienced. I've been given a rare peek into the inner workings of power at the very highest level of government. In a way, I'm a veteran - though young in age - in political experience and I hope to be able to use that experience so that I can provide better insight and analysis for our viewers, Tamano said.

Aside from his new chatshow, ANC will also premiere the new season of "View From The Top" anchored by David Celdran on Monday at 9:30 PM.
