Did we hear it right, Ian F. , that Diether Ocampo stands to earn a tumataginting na P35M, yes, P35M, for the four-year guaranteed contract na pinirmahan niya sa GMA-7?

Yes, Ian F. , according to a source, it's just a matter of time before Diether's being a Kapuso will be officially announced.

Ten years din pala siyang naging ABS-CBN contract star. And Diether will agree na maganda ang 'pangangalagang' ginawa sa kanya ng dati (?) niyang network.

Otherwise, would other networks take interest in and offer him a contract as enticing as the one he has received from GMA-7?

Well, good luck, Diether.

KUWENTO ng veteran singers na sina Claire de la Fuente at Eva Eugenio, totoo ngang nakapag-asawa ng isang Filipinong mayaman sa Amerika ang ka-contemporary nilang si Imelda Papin.

Balita nga raw nila, ang mansion na tinitirhan ng mag-asawa ay dating pag-aari ng yumaong famous Hollywood actor na si Clark Gable.

Kumpleto raw ang bahay ng amenities na makikita sa mga residence ng rich and famous. Tulad ng swimming pool, tennis court at malawak na hardin. May sarili rin daw itong spa na ginagamit si Imelda.

Buhay-reyna raw talaga si Imelda, dahil mahal na mahal ito ng lalaki na nagpu-produce rin ng concerts for her to keep her busy. At tuwing may performance raw si Imelda, nagmimistulang "Boy Friday" niya ang asawa.

No wonder, 'di na naiisip ni Imelda na umuwi ng Pilipinas even for a performance man lang.

Anang dalawa: Imelda would have been perfect sa kanilang concert with Rico J. Puno, Nonoy Zuñiga, Rey Valera and Joey Albert sa December 30, 8 p. m. , at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC).

Titled Legends of OPM, all six singers will render their hits, such as Kapalaran and Macho Guwapito ni Rico; Doon Lang at Never Ever Say Goodbye ni Nonoy; Pangako Sa 'Yo at Walang Kapalit ni Rey Valera; Sayang at Nakaw na Pag-ibig ni Claire; Tukso at Pag-ibig Na Walang Dangal ni Eva; at Iisa Pa Lamang at Tell Me ni Joey.

Ang Legends of OPM ay produced ng Viva Concerts and Events.
