Hindi pa rin nakaiwas ang premyadong actress-director na si Gina Alajar sa tanong ng entertainment press tungkol sa inilagay niyang status profile sa kanyang Facebook account kaugnay kina Krista Ranillo at Manny Pacquiao.

Sa Chika Minute ng GMA news 24 Oras nitong Huwebes, sinabing ayaw na sana ni Gina na magsalita tungkol sa kanyang kontrobersiyal na Facebook account lalo na’t nag-react dito ang pamilya ni Krista.

Nauna nang napaulat na humihingi ng apology ang pamilya Ranillo kay Gina dahil sa negatibo raw na nasabi nito tungkol sa batang aktres. Ngunit depensa ni Gina, hindi siya ang nagpakalat ng nakalagay sa kanyang Facebook at sa halip ay ginamit ng isang showbiz talk show ng wala siyang pahintulot.

Sa ulat ni entertainment reporter Lhar Santiago, sinabi nito na sinagot ni Gina ang tanong ng press tungkol pa rin sa naturang usapin sa ginanap na press conference ng kauna-unahang ChristmasSerye ng GMA 7 na Sana Ngayong Pasko.

Binigyan-diin ni Gina na hihingi lang siya ng paumanhin kung siya ang may kasalanan. Pinanindigan din ng actress-director ang kanyang isinulat sa kanyang Facebook.

Hindi rin itinago ni Gina ang sama ng loob sa paggamit sa isinulat niya sa status profile nang wala siyang pahintulot.

“Never ko namang tinakasan ‘yon hindi ba? Pinaninidgan ko naman ‘yon kung ano yung pinost ko…para lang natu-twist lang ng mga katwiran. Ang hinihingi ko lang naman permiso," paliwanag ng ina ni Geoff Eigenmann.

Hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin daw inaalis ni Gina ang posibilidad na gumawa ng legal na hakbang dahil sa paggamit sa kanyang Facebook.

“Kung saan ako magkakaroon siguro ng hustisya… It might not be in the count, it might be on another venue ‘di ba," pahayag pa niya.

Natutuwa rin umano si Gina sa ibinibigay na suporta ng kanyang mga anak lalo na si Geoff na naunang nagpaunlak ng panayam para idepensa ang ina. Naiintindihan daw ng premyadong aktres kung man nasabi man si Geoff sa panayam na sila man ay matagal na ring naghihintay ng apology mula kay Krista.

Minsan na kasing na naugnay si Krista sa dating asawa ni Gina na si Michael de Mesa, ama ni Geoff.

“Nagulat din ako bakit nya…biglang lumabas sa bibig nya ‘yon. Yun ang narararamdaman niya wala akong magagawa, yun pala ‘yon," dagdag ng aktres.

Is controversial sexy actress Krista Ranillo, who has been romantically linked to new People's Champ Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, back in the country?

abs-cbnNEWS.com received information from a source that Krista, will appear in public together with her father, actor Matt Ranillo III, on Thursday.

The buzz is that father and daughter will grace the launching of their latest endorsement, Shimmian Manila Surgicenter.

The source said a press conference will be held at a restaurant in Tomas Morato, Quezon City on December 3 at 7 p.m ..

In an interview, Gigi Mendoza, PR head of Shimmian Manila Surgicenter, confirmed that they will be holding an event.

But when asked to confirm if Krista and Matt will grace the event, Mendoza replied: "Hindi na siguro darating sa event."

If she shows up, Krista is expected to be asked about reports linking her to the new World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion.

Krista and Pacquiao have been at the center of the controversy ever since she admitted that she saw Pacquiao in Hong Kong in a chance encounter. Since then, photos and video of them together have been uploaded and circulated in the Internet.

Both Krista's and Pacquiao's camp have denied the reports. Pacman even apologized to Ranillos family. He maintained that the actress, who is part of his upcoming film, "Wapakman," is just a close friend.


Last week, Ranillos divulged that their family is already getting death threats as a result of persistent rumors about Pacquiao and Krista.

No affair, says Matt

The Ranillos made this revelation in a statement sent to ABS-CBN News.

In the statement, signed by Matt, the family categorically denied any inappropriate relationship between Pacquiao and Krista.

They claimed that the death threats came from “some unknown individuals who are claiming that such inappropriate relationship exists.”

The family also appealed to the media “to exercise balance, fairness and accuracy in their reporting.”

The Ranillos said they have hired lawyer Tonisito Umali, a Philippine and California lawyer, to serve as their legal counsel and spokesman.

According to the statement, Umali is studying whether television shows, news programs and major newspapers violated the rights of the Ranillos in reporting the alleged illicit affair.

The lawyer is also studying the “derogatory and untruthful comments made by Ms Gina Alajar in her Facebook (and published in major newspapers and shown in major TV shows) and other media personalities to determine whether such comments are considered unprotected speech or libelous.”

As of posting time, abs-cbnNEWS.com was still trying to get confirmation of Krista's and Matt’s arrival from the US.
