Things are happening so fast (and furious?) for Patrick Garcia and Jennylyn Mercado.
Nabalitang buntis si Jen, on the same day when she tested positive ay nagbalak silang magpakasal under civil rites at Makati City court, however, it got foiled.
So, ano’ng bago? Isang text message from a concerned friend of Jen was sent to Startalk reporter Baby Briones. At kung paniniwalaan ang sumbong ng kaibigan ng young actress, all of Jen’s fans will turn furious!
Of late, madalas daw umiiyak si Jen, not because of the usual dizzy spells or early pregnancy blues. Hindi raw kasi siya dinadalaw o tine-text man lang ni Pat upang kumustahin ang kanyang kalagayan. Once, naglambing daw si Jen sa syota ng type nitong pagkain. Ang sagot daw ni Pat: ‘‘Eh, di bumili ka ng pagkain!’’
If true, this is not going to help Jen nurture an already living thing inside her womb. Kawawang bata. This yet to be born child is already in suffering.
Teka, I thought he was man enough to take on a responsibility?

If legalities are to be taken into account, may punto si Atty. Joji Alonzo, legal counsel nina Piolo Pascual at Sam Milby, kaugnay ng kasong libel na isinampa laban kay Lolit Solis. Affidavit of desistance kasi ang hinihiling muna ni ’Nay Lolit before she makes any retraction of what she had written dito sa PSN.
Maaaring this is an isolated analogy, but let’s not forget that before former President Joseph Estrada was served his release order from jail ay kinunsidera rin ng pamahalaan ang kanyang mga demands, one of which was no longer seeking an elective post in the next elections at mananatiling ordinaryong mamamayan na lang.
And more recently, sa usapin tungkol sa pagbawi ng mga ari-arian ni Erap, he would only accede to such if his property na katas ng kanyang pag-aartista noon when (when he was still San Juan Mayor) would be spared.
Going back to ’Nay Lolit’s strategy, this is no different from an imminent threat to one’s life involving a culprit who’s repeatedly being questioned as to who’s the brains behind a crime by his abductors. Ikakanta nga niya ang mga ’yon on the pretext that he will escape harm, only to slump on the ground with a fatal bullet in his head.
