Jericho Rosales is delighted that he finally set foot on the “territory” of Heart Evangelista’s family during her birthday held at the Ongpauco Bldg.
It was the first time that Heart’s boyfriend, Jericho Rosales, was able to enter the premises since they became a couple two-and-a-half years ago. Heart, whose real name is Love Marie Ongpauco, had a falling out with her father Reynaldo and it took them almost three years to fix the rift between them. She revealed that she has reconciled with her father, bringing much happiness for the 23-year-old actress.

Did she wear the necklace?….
On February 13, the day before her 23rd birthday, Heart hosted an intimate dinner for her close friends and select members of the press at the Ongpauco building in Greenhills, San Juan.
What did Echo give Heart? “This one,” she says, playing with the diamond-studded necklace around her neck that more or less worth half a million pesos.
Later that night, Echo surprised Heart by arranging for a fireworks display that was visible from the fourth floor veranda of the Ongpauco building. When Heart blew out her candles at around 11 pm, the multi-colored pyrotechnics lit up the sky.
Heart is also one of the newest endorsers of Sunsilk shampoo, along with Maja Salvador and Marian Rivera. They are paired with other global icons such as Madonna and Marilyn Monroe. “When I heard about it, sobrang na-flatter ako na I’m part of the global icons,” she recounts happily.

Bianca Gonzales admitted during the launch OF Cinema One’s Celebrity Central Block, for the first time that Lino Cayetano her ex-boyfriend, film-TV director gifted her with flowers last Feb. 18, four days late. On the other hand, she does not want to admit they are boyfriend/girlfriend again. She says this is up for Lino to confirm.”It’s hard for me to discuss the status of our relationship. It’s better for the reply to come from the guy.”
Last month, Bianca and Lino were spotted in Singapore’s Sentosa Resort.
The two met in 2005 on the set of the now defunct ABS-CBN show, “Star Dance,” which Bianca co-hosted with Vanessa del Bianco, Archie Alemenia and JC Cuadrado.

oh, my lovely Bianca….
They became a couple for over a year and a half but broke up in October 2006, after a quarrel over Bianca’s closeness to fellow “Pinoy Big Brother” housemate Zanjoe Marudo. Lino has since been linked to KC Concepcion, Sharon Cuneta’s daughter.
She denied talk that it was Lino’s breakup with KC that re-ignited their romance. “I never asked what happened to them because it’s really not my business. If I want to get together with someone, I don’t want to burden him with past issues. “Lino is a very decent guy and he won’t start to talk to me again kung alam niyang may ibang masasaktan”.
“Honestly, we’re not back together-officially,”"Unlike two people who just met, we already know each other-our good and bad traits. Our relationship is in a stage in which we’re enjoying talking to each other again.”According to Bianca, Lino is currently vacationing in the United States. He is considering taking a job abroad, after doing a kid’s show in Singapore recently and meeting producers there.Meanwhile Bianca and Eri Neeman are the hosts of Cinemanews Weekend Edition every Friday of Celebrity Central Block. Mariel Rodriguez hosts Celebrity Hit List every Monday. Persona goes on air every Tuesday. My Space as hosted by Mylene Dizon every Wednesday. VIP Pass airs every Thursday as hosted by Kat Alano.
