Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd Cruz

The Star Magic World Concert Tour Live in Manila, held last Nov. 13 at the Araneta Coliseum, was indeed a big success, and so star-studded with the 70 Star Magic homegrown artists coming in full force to celebrate the talent management group’s 17th anniversary.

A comedy act by Pokwang and Chokoleit set the audience into a hilarious mood. Then came the opening dance number which was an all-star song-and-dance performances of OPM songs. Heartthrobs Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby then serenaded the ladies with the “Narda” song and later welcomed John Lloyd Cruz, Bea Alonzo and Nikki Gil onstage. Coverboys’ Zanjoe Marudo, Rafael Rosell, Jon Avila, Xian Lim, Victor Basa and Jake Cuenca thrilled the fans with a hot number followed by a wacky Trip to Jerusalem game with selected women from the audience.

After Coverboys, Chokoleit, Kitkat, Jay-R Siaboc and Pokwang performed a medley of popular songs of the local band Aegis. This was followed by international singing champ Jed Madela’s performance of the song “Kung Alam Mo Lang.”

Fans became wild when Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson and Jake Cuenca went onstage to acknowledge the VIPs in the audience, especially the supporters who made it that night. ABS-CBN bosses headed by Pres. Charo Santos-Concio, Channel Head Cory Vidanes, Star Cinema Managing Director Malou Santos, director Olive Lamasan and Business Unit Head Deo Endrinal.

A sizzling number of Star Magic sexy girls led by Angelica Panganiban and Roxanne Guinoo with Nina Dolino, Wendy Valdez, Cass Ponti, Regine Angeles, Erika Padilla, and Bangs Garcia followed. After which, dance icons Rayver Cruz, Shaina Magdayao, Maja Salvador and Mickey Perz performed a sexy Latin hiphop number that got the audience dancing on their seats. Sam Milby sang with Yeng Constantino and Diether Ocampo an Eraserheads medley, after which the Giggerboys displayed their terpshicorean skills with Lauren Young, Empress Schuck, Megan Young, Matt Evans, Melissa Ricks, Thou Reyes, Mickey Perz, Rodjun Cruz, Charles Christianson and Erich Gonzales.

Angelica a.k.a. Krissy and Jayson Gainza a.k.a. Boy of the gag show “Banana Split” shared a few laughs with everyone before introducing the other singers: Rica Peralejo, Nikki Valdez, Sherin Regis, Liezel Garcia, Irish Fullerton and Laarni Lozada (“I’m Alive”) who were later joined by PDA scholar Ronnie Liang, Jay-R, Jed Madela, and Bugoy Drilon in singing an inspirational song.

Other performers included Nyoy Volante, JM Rodriguez, Kaye Garcia, Auriette Divina, Thara Jordana and Rhap Salazar, and singer-actress Vina Morales who rendered a medley of the ABS-CBN’s soap opera theme songs before she introduced John Lloyd (“Sana Ngayong Pasko”) who later sang with Bea (“Mahal Naman Kita”).

Piolo sang “I Don’t Want You to Go” before his duet with Claudine Barretto (“The Gift,” which was their movie “Milan’s” theme song).

The Star Magic World Concert Tour began in the US last June.

Jinkee’s advice to Krista

In a recent TV interview, we heard Jinkee Pacquiao giving Krista Ranillo, her husband Manny’s rumored girlfriend some unsolicited advice. She said to this effect: “You’re still young, you can still meet a lot of guys, but don’t choose those who are married and have responsibilities already, those who have families who’ll get hurt...”

It’s being denied left and right, this rumored Manny-Krista romance, but it won’t just die down.

Jinkee is still hurting but she said she will be behind Manny, “no matter what. I may not be the perfect wife, but I love my family, my husband, my children…”

Incidentally, before all this controversy happened, Jinkee was welcomed as endorser of the Belo Medical Group.

To stay in top shape, Jinkee trusts the expertise of the Belo Medical Group. After giving birth to her third child, she underwent Belo SmartLipo to get rid of the unwanted post-natal fat. After her next pregnancy, she gained a few pounds. This time, she lost the excess weight, without surgery, with the help of the new Belo Diet Injections.

Achieving her sexier figure not only makes Jinkee feel better about herself, it has also knocked out her husband, Manny Pacquiao, and swept him off his feet all over again!

Today, Jinkee takes her place, full and center, as the latest addition to the Belo Medical Group’s elite roster of endorsers. Jinkee now has more confidence to attend various events, grace magazine covers, and even star in a billboard for the Belo Medical Group. With a winning figure and a brand-new attitude, Jinkee is now “Belofied” and ready to face the world.

Aside from having a new endorser, the Belo Medical Group has also opened a new clinic at the heart of the Metro, at the fifth floor of the SM Mega Atrium in Ortigas, making world-class service available to more deserving Filipinos.
