The relationship of Diego Loyzaga and Barbie Imperial just did not work.
They were in love, “but sometimes you need to call it quits to maintain the friendship, so to speak. O kung anumang magandang relasyon kayo nagkaroon lalo pati mga pamilya nyo involved,” insisted Diego.
She does not want to discuss the real cause of their break-up.
“But it was for the best,” said Diego, “Sa lahat ng ayaw ko, may kaaway akong babae. Lalot mahal ko at minahal ako. Gusto ko, ang manatili ay ang magandang alaala naming tungkol sa isa’t isa.”

Ruffa’s dad, Eddie Gutierrez, turned 80 years old recently. He continues to be in demand for TV and film work, usually landing father roles.
Some of his contemporaries have passed on, including Vic Vargas, Dindo Fernando, Lito Legaspi and Jose Mari Gonzales.
When they were younger, Eddie was the favorite leading man of Susan Roces.

Susan is no longer as active as Eddie, but everyone knows she is the mother of Senator Grace Poe, her only daughter with her late husband, Fernando Poe, Jr.
What still make Susan an idol of many is she remains true to herself. And she has maintained her beauty. She still looks the way she used to when she was younger.
