‘The two, though, have neither
confirmed nor denied being in
a romantic relationship.’

Is it true that Ruffa Gutierrez, who turns 47 today, gets a lot of calls every day from former Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista?
This was revealed by Ruffa’s mom, Annabelle Rama, in “It’s Showtime,” where the two are featured, together with Ruffa’s brother Raymond, as part of the hurado in “Showtime Sexy Babe.”
She’s always busy on her phone because of someone, said the inimitable Annabelle.
Asked who Ruffa talks to, Annabelle blurted, “Herbert.”
Ruffa and Herbert, though, have neither confirmed nor denied being in a romantic relationship.
Ruffa was Herbert’s number one supporter when he ran for senator in the last elections.
Too bad that he lost.
The former QC mayor was never married. He has four kids with two women, while Ruffa has two daughters with her ex-husband. Yilmaz Bektas.
