John Prats and Bianca Manalo made a "virtual kiss" on "Happy Yipee Yehey's" episode yesterday, July 22, 2011, while the two were doing their hosting chores for the show.

The kiss happened while Bianca Manalo was at Studio 4 of ABS-CBN and John Prats, also known in the show as Pratty, was in Brgy. Salapan, San Juan, Metro Manila for "Ikaw Ang Bida" segment.

Could this be a confirmation of John Prats and Bianca Manalo as boyfriend-girlfriend?

But when John was asked by his Happy Yipee Yehey! co-hosts about the real score between them, here's what he said: "Magkaibigan kami ni Bianca, pero...Crush na Crush ko siya!"

The feeling is mutual as Bianca already admitted long before that Pratty is her crush.

On E-Live's fresh episode this afternoon, July 23, Bianca was asked about John and she said, "Isa siya sa mga nagpapasaya sa 'kin."

Watch a video of how John Prats and Bianca Manalo kissed each other on Happy Yipee Yehey! So sweet!

The UAAP Season 74 has kicked off Saturday afternoon, July 9, 2011, with UAAP Season 71 to 73 Champion Ateneo De Manila University as the host.

And unlike in the previous years' opening ceremony, the UAAP Season 74 Opening was held outdoors, at the Marikini Sports Park, and as expected, it rained.

Some non-Ateneans reportedly blamed the host university for holding the Olympic-inspired opening ceremony outdoors and for not anticipating the possibility of rain especially in this rainy month of July.

Mayor Sara Duterte punches sheriff Abe Andres [video]

Mayor Sara Duterte of Davao City is now being dubbed as "The Puncher".

On Friday morning, July 1, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte was caught on video punching demolition sheriff Abe Andres of the Davao Regional Trial Court Branch 15.

She really hit the sheriff so hard, just like how Manny Pacquiao punches his boxing opponents.

Mayor Duterte got so mad at the sheriff after the latter pushed through with the demolition at Brgy. Kapitan Tomas Monteverde Sr., Sitio Soliman, Agdao District, Davao City, despite the mayor's request to defer the demolition for 2 hours because she's still giving away relief goods to the flash flood victims in the area.

Watch a video of how Mayor Duterte punched the sheriff:


Here's another video in another angle:

As seen on the video, Mayor Duterte asked first the sheriff to come near her before she punched him bigtime. You can also hear on the video the cheers from the people while Mayor Duterte was punching Sheriff Andres.

Just because of this punching incident, Mayor Duterte managed to trend worldwide on Twitter, peaking at #5, around 8PM tonight, July 1.

The incident also reached overseas, making headlines in various news websites around the world.

***

Sara Duterte is the first female to be elected Mayor in Davao City.

During the 2010 Elections, she won the mayoralty race with 372,576 votes versus former House Speaker Prospero Nograles which had 154,254 votes.

Sara actually succeeded her own father Rodrigo Duterte, a 6-termer Mayor, who now holds the Vice-Mayor position.

The father and daughter actually just switched positions. Sara was Rodrigo's Vice-Mayor during his last term as the city Mayor.

Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 Grand Finals Performance Night Videos

PILIPINAS GOT TALENT SEASON 2
Grand Finals - Performance Night
June 25, 2011, Araneta Coliseum

Fourteen (14) grand finalists showcased their talents in Araneta Coliseum last night, June 25, 2011, all hoping to be the grand winner of Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2 and win 2-million pesos.

Despite lacking in variety, the performances of the grand finalists were generally superb and (I think) more entertaining to watch than the last season.

Receiving standing ovation from all 3 judges last night was Marcelito Pomoy, who did an impressive rendition of "The Prayer" using both his male and female voices. Yeah, you've heard it right and he did it with perfection, as what judge Kris Aquino said.
Aside from Marcelito's performance, the following acts were also outstanding and highly-applauded on last night's grand finals of Pilipinas Got Talent Season 2:

NielBeth, ballroom dancing duo

Rico, the Magician


Happy Feet, tap dancing brother / duo


Freestylers



Here are the performances from the other grand finalists:

B4, dance group


Madrigal Siblings


Buildex Pagales, Bruno Mars of the Philippines


Angel Calalas, hula hoop tricker


Jem Cubil, singer


Skeights, band

Jennylyn Mercado makes appearance in Miguel "Migz" Villafuerte's TV ad in CamSur

Miguel Luis "Migz" Villafuerte, who made showbiz headlines back in March as the rumored suitor of PopStar Princess Sarah Geronimo, appears in a TV commercial which has been airing already in his province Camarines Sur (CamSur) since last week.

The TVC uses a "jingle" sung to the tune of Justin Bieber hit "Baby" and also features Kapuso actress-singer Jennylyn Mercado in one short scene, probably shot during Jen's concert there last May 26 for CamSur's Kaogma Festival 2011.

Watch the said TV ad featuring Miguel "Migz" Villafuerte (Jennylyn is at 0:34 part of the video):

Analyzing the song lyrics or the message being imparted on the video, it's like an early election campaign for Migz Villafuerte who reportedly will be running for Governor in CamSur in the 2013 Elections, hoping to succeed his dad L-Ray Villafuerte who's now on his 3rd and last term as CamSur Governor.

If ever elected, Migz Villafuerte, who's 24 years old by 2013, will possibly be the youngest governor ever elected in CamSur beating his own dad's record and even in the whole Philippines (record to beat: 27 years old).

Goodluck to you Migz!

Just last May, Migz was Cosmo.ph's Online Hunk and he gamely posed shirtless there. Check out some of his Cosmo shots taken in CamSur Watersports Complex (CWC):

This September, expect him to be one of Cosmo's 69 Bachelors for 2011.
