ANGELICA PANGANIBAN
They’re on the final stretch.
Angelica Panganiban and boyfriend Gregg Homan are a few weeks away from meeting their firstborn, a girl.
The couple are now in Metro Manila awaiting the birth of their baby. They drove from Subic, where Gregg resides. If we recall correctly, Angelica and Gregg have a nursery prepared in their home there. Will they raise their daughter there, too? Does this mean Angelica will hence be based in Subic?

Before she got pregnant, Angelica has been vocal about slowing down in her career. It is really no surprise. The 35-year-old former child star has, in her time, done all kinds of roles and all kind of films. She has also appeared opposite some of the best actors in the land.
She has also won several acting awards since starting in showbiz at age 6.
Well, Angelica seems to have found her bliss. She is a picture of a contented woman and happy mom-to-be.
God bless you, Angelica and Gregg. Have a safe and easy delivery.

Guess who is back in “Magandang Buhay”?
Jolina Magdangal and Melai Cantiveros are welcoming back Regine Velasquez.
It can be recalled that Regine hosted the show for a couple of weeks after the show’s third co-host, Karla Estrada, decided to run for congress.
But Regine’s eventually said good-bye and Judy Ann Santos later joined Jolina and Melai.
Well, Regine is back — no longer as pinch hitter but as official co-host of the Kapamilya morning show.
“Since I learned that I will officially be part of ‘MB,’ kabadong-kabado talaga ako. Excited ako syempre, siguro kasama lang yun na kapag naging host ka, there is a certain responsibility. I’m very happy to be part of ‘Magandang Buhay,'” said the singer-actress.
“Magandang Buhay,” now on its sixth year, airs at 9 a.m. on A2Z, Kapamilya Channel, and Jeepney TV, Kapamilya Online Live on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube Channel and Facebook page, iWantTFC, and The Filipino Channel.
