Toni Gonzaga made an intriguing quip about Piolo Pascual last Sunday on the Buzz. The video clip of the said segment is getting viral on Facebook.

Here’s the sitch: Boy Abunda asked Toni the question: “Kung ikaw naman ay magiging lalake sa totoong buhay, sino ka?”

Toni replied in an instant: “Piolo Pascual siguro, Piolo Pascual…”

But then an idea struck her spontaneously that she immediately asked Boy: “Lalake?”

The studio audience reacted immediately with laughter.

And did you see Cristine Reyes‘ (who was beside Boy Abunda) facial expression? Priceless.

Toni made some damage control and asked the audience.

Piolo Pascual kept mum on rumors that he will transfer to TV5 next year.

The speculations about Piolo’s TV5 offer that the heartthrob is considering resurfaced in the rumor mill after his ex-girlfriend KC Concepcion decided to stay and signed an exclusive contract with ABS-CBN.

According to an article on Journal Online, Piolo might be considering TV5′s 10-digit offer because he wasn’t happy with how ABS-CBN handled his breakup with KC, specially the controversial “The Buzz” episode where the weekly Kapamilya showbiz talk show aired an interview with the mega-daughter dropping intriguing “hints” on why they got separated.

But how will Piolo become a Kapatid now that the Megastar Sharon Cuneta, KC’s mom, is already with TV5?

Maricar, by the way, is Piolo’s co-star in the upcoming teleserye on ABS-CBN, “Padre de Pamilya.”

ABS-CBNNews.com has posted an article yesterday saying that Maricar Reyes is being rumored as the third party that caused the Piolo-KC split.

Salve Asis of Pilipino Star Ngayon, on her column today, started her article with the statement: “Hmmm, damage control ba ito?”

What do you think?

Last Sunday, November 27, KC finally admitted on national television that her relationship with Piolo Pascual is officially over during a one-on-one interview with co-host Boy Abunda on “The Buzz.”

When Boy Abunda asked KC the reason why she and Piolo broke up, the host/actress revealed that the basic things that she is looking for in a man fell short with the actor saying “May mga hinahanap ako na napaka-basic lang na hanapin ng isang babae sa isang boyfriend, isang lalake.”

But KC refused to give specific details as she don’t want to demean the character of her former boyfriend.

“PJ (Piolo’s nickname) knows exactly why we broke up. He knows exactly why,” was the thing she said.

In an interview aired on “TV Patrol” last Nov. 28, Piolo, who just arrived in Manila from a concert in Japan, said: “I don’t think I’ve anything else to say.

“You know, KC has already said her piece. Hayaan na lang muna natin doon kasi it’s a very sensitive issue. Hindi naman biro ang pinagdaanan naming dalawa,” he added.

Piolo asked for the public’s understanding because break-ups are difficult to experience, much so that they are both celebrities.

“Ang hinihingi ko na lang ay pag-iintindi sa mga tao. Hindi madali yung proseso. Hindi rin madali yung maraming nakaabang, maraming naghihintay at maraming nakikialam. Ang sa akin lang, hayaan na lang muna kami, especially si Kristina. It’s not easy,” the actor appealed.

Last January, Piolo Pascual admitted live on “The Buzz” that KC became his girlfriend since October 21, 2010. Will he grace the same show in the coming days to say his side on the break-up story?

Update: There are now rumors circulating that a third party is involved that’s why Piolo and KC broke-up, and it’s Piolo’s “Padre de Pamilya” co-star Maricar Reyes. Reyes, Piolo nor KC have yet to react on the matter.

It’s been talk of the town after KC Concepcion broke her silence on “The Buzz” last Sunday regarding her breakup with Piolo Pascual.

When Boy Abunda asked her the reason why they broke up, the host/actress revealed that the basic things that she is looking for in a man fell short with Piolo.

“May mga hinahanap ako na napaka-basic lang na hanapin ng isang babae sa isang boyfriend, isang lalake. Ayoko na siguro pumunta sa details kuya Boy kasi parang ayokong siraan siya,” she said.

“Pero let’s just say na lahat talaga kaya ko. Lahat, lahat ng…kung may anak siya tinanggap ko ‘yun. Tinanggap ko ‘yung anak niya.”

“Kahit may mga times na di ko siya maintindihan, tinatanggap ko kasi sabi sa akin ng mga kaibigan namin personality niya ‘yun,” she added (CLICK HERE FOR RELATED ARTICLE).

Meanwhile, TV Patrol was able to interview Piolo Pascual on Monday after he arrived from Japan.

Instead of commenting on KC’s interview, Piolo asked the public instead to respect his privacy and to understand what he and KC are going through right now is a very sensitive issue.

“I don’t think I have anything else to say. You know, KC has said her piece so hayaan na lang muna natin dun kasi it’s a very sensitive issue. Hindi naman biro ang pinagdaanan naming dalawa,” he said.

“So hihingin ko lang siguro, pag-iintindi sa mga tao.”

“Hindi madali yung proseso. Hindi rin madali yung maraming nakaabang, maraming naghihintay, at maraming nakikialam.”

“So, ang sa akin, sana hayaan na lang muna kami, especially si Kristina, it’s not easy,” he added.

The break-up was finally confirmed by KC Concepcion herself in an exclusive interview by Boy Abunda on ABS-CBN’s showbiz talk show “The Buzz” Sunday afternoon.

Boy Abunda asked a direct question to KC: “Hiwalay na ba kayo ni Piolo Pascual o hindi?”

KC nodded.

Here’s an excerpt of the interview (transcript):

Boy: “Bakit kayo naghiwalay para lang maunawaan namin?”

KC: “May mga hinahanap ako na napaka-basic lang na hanapin ng isang babae sa isang boyfriend, isang lalake. Ayoko na siguro pumunta sa details kuya Boy kasi parang ayokong siraan siya.”

“Pero…let’s just say na lahat talaga kaya ko. Lahat, lahat ng…kung may anak siya tinanggap ko ‘yun. Tinanggap ko ‘yung anak niya.”

“Kahit may mga times na di ko siya maintindihan, tinatanggap ko kasi sabi sa akin ng mga kaibigan namin personality niya ‘yun.”

“Kapag may mga bagay na hindi ako sang-ayon na dapat ginagawa sa isang babae, tinatanggap ko kasi naniniwala ako na mabait siyang tao.”

“May mga bagay na parang di ko na kayang lunukin, hindi ko na kayang tanggapin.”

Boy: “May third party ba?”

KC: “Ayoko po siyang sagutin Tito Boy.”

Boy: “Galit ka?”

KC: “Ngayon ko lang po na-realize na, opo.”

Boy: “Galit ka dahil? Anong nagawa sa ‘yo? Ano ang hindi mo kinaya at bakit ka galit?”

KC: “Ewan ko kung paano nangyari ‘yung sama ng loob, naging galit, na talagang nagugulat na lang ako kasi first time ko rin na parang napapamura na rin ako. Parang hindi naman ako ganun.”

“And bigla na lang ako maiiyak kasi hindi pala ako ok. And then siya, parang natatawa na lang siya, kapag nakikita kong ini-interview siya, dinadaan na lang niya sa joke. Na parang ako, bakit ikaw ganyan tapos ako ganito? Bakit parang hanggang sa huli parang mag-isa lang ako dito?”

“Anong sasabihin ko sa pamilya ko? Anong sasabihin ko kay Mama na tanong ng tanong kung kami pa ba o hindi na? Anong isasagot ko sa lola ko na mahal na mahal siya? Hindi ko talaga masabi Kuya Boy sa kahit sinong tao kung anong nangyari, dahil hindi pwede sabihin.”

During the recent Canon Photomarathon 2011 PJ was so delightful to become a part of Canon family. “Nung bumili ako ng first SLR camera ko pumunta ako sa Canon dahil gusto kong matuto ng photography at sana someday maging endorser ako nito” he confesses during the event.

PJ is very down to earth when it comes to photography. “Maraming salamat sa inyo, ako ang dapat na humingi ng advice sa iyo dahil amateur photographer lang at kayo ay mga pro” he shares.

Aside from acting, PJ has been blessed with an artistic eye. Being new to photography, he already did a lot of masterpiece such as landscapes and protraits. He probably has the best portraitures of KC Concepcion and travel photos.

During the event he also had the chance to meet Canon President/CEO Alan Chng who was very delighted to hear about him. He is very happy because it has became the biggest photography event holding the most number of participants.

“I am very delighted…I am very astonished and surprised seeing the reactions of all participants, hope to make it even more next year…hopefully 3,000 plus.” Alan Chng ends.

KC Concepcion and Piolo Pascual were supposed to celebrate their first year anniversary as a couple last October 21 but there are speculations that they have broken up even before that date.

The rumor was heightened when KC Concepcion left for her European vacation last October 5. In a short interview before boarding the plane, the actress said she needed time to “think about things” referring to her love troubles with boyfriend Piolo Pascual.

“Kelangan ko lang ng oras sa sarili ko. Sa dami ng nangyari kelangan ko lang mag-isip talaga. Alam mo yun, bumabalik ako na buo pa rin yung ako,” she said.

When asked if she and Piolo are still together as a couple, KC said “’Di ko alam, ‘di ko alam basta kailangan ko ng time [para] mag-isip lang talaga.”

KC went to Nerja and Costa Del Sol where she spent her “soul searching.” She also attended the wedding of her magazine editor friend Lois Alba. She then went to Paris, where she went to college and met up with old friends.

KC returned to Manila last October 13 but left for Los Angeles, California the following day to attend the fundraising event for Bill Clinton’s 65th birthday with her mom Sharon Cuneta.

KC is now in New York with boyfriend Piolo Pascual for the “Piolo and KC Live in Concert with Yeng Constatino” US tour which starts this Friday. This is a good opportunity for the power couple to discuss the status of their relationship and shatter all rumors saying they’ve already broken up.

Piolo & KC, together with Yeng Constantino, will perform at the Tribeca Performing Arts in New York this Friday, October 28. You can also catch them in Chicago’s Pickwick Theater on October 29, Shrine Auditorium in LA on November 4 and James Logan High School in San Francisco on November 6.
