SA text na ipinorward sa amin ni Mareng Ian Fariñas galing kay Arnold Clavio, puring-puri nito ang kabayanihang ipinakita nina Jericho Rosales at Raymart Santiago nu'ng panahon ng pananalasa ng bagyong Ondoy last Saturday.

Narito ang laman ng buong text message ni Arnold:

"For the first time ever, our subdivision, the Loyola Grand Villas in Marikina, got inundated from floodwaters coming from the Tomana River. A part of the village was submerged under 10 ft of water. Parents were panicking and trying to find ways to move their children to higher grounds.

"According to the residents of Finland and Monaco Streets, our neigHBOr actors Jericho Rosales and Raymart Santiago turned up and using their surfboards, started rescuing children -- to the distressed parents' relief.

"They didn't mind swimming in the cold and very muddy waters. These heroic act of our two very unassuming star actor neigHBOrs have gone unnoticed, but we bring it to your attention, in behalf of the families they have helped here in LGV.

"This despite the fact that Raymart's house located along the Tomana Riverbanks was also heavily damaged and was also flooded up to the second floor.

"Thank you, Echo and Raymart. "

Bongga naman ang kabayanihang ipinakita nina Raymart at Jericho. Pati na rin ang ginawa ni Gerald Anderson na pagsagip sa mga nalulunod niyang kapit-bahay sa Vista Real in Quezon City.

May your tribe increase, guys!

HULING linggo na ng Florinda series ni Maricel Soriano na napapanood sa Primetime Bida time slot ng ABS-CBN. Hanggang October 2 na lang ito at papalitan ito ng bagong season ng Pinoy Big Brother.

Ngayong hapon ng Miyerkules ay haharap sa movie press ang PBB hosts na sina Toni Gonzaga, Bianca Gonzales at Mariel Rodriguez. May hint na kaya sila kung sinu-sino ang papasok sa Bahay ni Kuya sa Linggo?

Meanwhile, tiyak na another exciting season itong PBB 3 dahil ang balita namin, maraming mga interesting personalities ang nakapasa sa kanilang audition sa taong ito.

Itatanong namin mamaya kay Mariel kung ano talaga ang latest score sa kanila ni Zanjoe Marudo na isa sa mga lead actors ng Lovers in Paris na nag-pilot episode na nu'ng Lunes. Aalamin din namin kay Toni kung may development na ba sa sinasabing pagsasama nila ni Robin Padilla sa pelikula. At kay Bianca, hindi na kami updated sa kanyang lovelife. Meron na ba siyang ipinalit kay Direk Lino Cayetano?
