“It is with deep sadness to hear of the passing of a great actor and an icon of the  entertainment industry of the Philippines.  Mr. Eddie Garcia was well respected and loved by many, from the industry to every Filipino home.

“A multi-awarded actor and director, Mr. Garcia’s career spanned seven decades and  more than 600 movies from drama, comedy, rom-com, documentary and the likes.  He was a household name in television due to his portrayal of various roles in dramas and telenovelas.

“We recall vividly his first foray in the movies via the 1949 Manuel Conde Productions’ Siete Infantes de Lara and his directorial debut in the 1961 film Karugtong ng Kahapon.  We fondly remember his moving performance in his last movie, Rainbow Sunset.

“What most people do not know is our Manoy was a Philippine Scout.

With heavy heart, we remember his family in this time of bereavement and commiserate with them. Please know that we will not be where we are today had it not been for Tito Eddie’s contributions.

Tito Eddie, Rest In Peace.”

Bea Santiago nalabanan ang kidney failure

Certified survivor ang former beauty queen na si Bea Santiago.

Nakaya niya ang pakikipaglaban sa Chronic Kidney Disease at ngayon ay feeling beautiful and sexy na uli siya at nakapag-pictorial na para sa isang glossy magazine.

 “This shoot was meaningful for me. I havent been feeling confident and sexy in a long time. Most women battling kidney failure and on dialysis feel this way. I cried because I felt sooo good about myself! I felt beautiful and sexy I was fucking hot!,” caption niya sa kanyang sample photo sa nasabing pictorial.

Late last year nga nang magkaroon ng kidney failure.
