Rumored Survivor Philippines Celebrity winner Moi Marcampo is the luckiest yaya ever!

    So probably you have heard already the Twitter buzz that Piolo Pascual's former "yaya" Moi Moi Marcampo is the alleged winner of GMA 7's Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown.

    And the name of the winner leaked on the day of the show's pilot episode last Monday, August 30.

    Interestingly, the leakage on Twitter came from two celebrity users who are identified from the Kapamilya network. Hahaha giyera na 'to!

    Moi Marcampo Piolo Pascual

    Oh well, Moi Moi Marcampo, win or lose, is already such one lucky "yaya". She started being known as a "yaya" to Piolo (she got to dress up, undress and touch Papa P - see picture!) and then made her debut as an actress in the 2009 box office hit "Kimmy Dora" as Yaya Elena.

    Then she had a solo feature on ABS-CBN's Rated K and appeared with Piolo in the latter's Speed Babad TVC.

    And now, Moi is among the 18 celebrity castaways on GMA 7's Survivor Philippines. Wow, what do you think is next for her? Winning the said show is not far from being possible. Let's just wait and see!

Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown: Who went naked?

    Did you watch the pilot episode of Survivor Philippines Celebrity
    Showdown last night? It was already exciting and the castaways were
    indeed so much prepared for an island drama in Thailand.

    Karen delos Reyes is already showing her bratty personality while Aubrey Miles is starting to unlike 40-year-old Mykah Flores. "Di ko
    maintindihan kung innocent sya o ignorant," she said.

    Michelle Madrigal is indeed very kikay while Solenn Heussaff is still reserved for now.

    As for the boys, Ervic Vijandre is lookin' so great on TV. He has this "animalistic" stance that Dingdong Dantes also has. Now we know what Marian Rivera likes in a boyfriend.

    Akihiro Sato is not in his best form but he's adorable as always while
    Jon Hall looks so tough and hard. (I can imagine he's so wild in bed)

    Doc Ferdz Recio is effortlessly sexy! Looking forward to more shirtless scenes of Doc Ferdz. Ahron Villena has a killer bod. (Pang-romansa daw!)

    A teaser was shown last night and Pretty Trizsa is well-prepared to seduce the boys and she started it by asking a kiss from Ervic.

    It's also exciting to know who among the hunky castaways whose undies got pulled down and went accidentally naked in one of the challenges. Can you guess who among these 7 hunks?


    Ahron Villena, Akihiro Sato


    Ian Batherson, Doc Ferdz Recio,


    Jon Hall, Ervic Vijandre, Mico Aytona

Chin Chin Gutierrez survives another house fire

    The house of actress Chin Chin Gutierrez in Quezon City was on fire last night, but thanks God, no one was hurt.

    And it's the same house which burned down in December 2006.

    Maybe Chin Chin should leave that house already and look for another one.

    Chin Chin's neighbor Jim Paredes shared the news on Facebook early morning today. According to the OPM icon, he was celebrating his birthday when it happened.

    "We were celebrating my birthday when we smelled smoke before we knew it, it was a conflagration. We shouted loud to wake up neighbors. They would have died. Firemen responded in 15 minutes. What a way to start my year," Paredes said.

    ABS-CBN News reports that faulty electrical wiring caused the fire.

Sam Milby leads Cosmo Centerfolds / Bachelors for 2010

    I'm so much happy to know that Sam Milby is among the 10 Cosmo Centerfolds for 2010.

    Sam Milby Cosmo Men

    This September 2010 with Andi Eigenmann as the cover girl,
    Cosmopolitan Philippines is treating us again with the Cosmo Men supplement with Sam Milby as the choice cover.

    Before entering PBB house in 2005, Sam was already among the 69 Bachelors and finally, after 5 years, he's among the Top 10 Centerforlds and even chosen to be on the cover.

    I've been wishing for it for 3 years already and finally, it happened.
    I thought he's going to be like Piolo Pascual and Diether Ocampo who have already closed their doors for it.

    Aside from Sam, also interesting to see among the Cosmo Centerfolds is
    Christian Bautista. He's getting hunkier as time goes by!

    The other centerfolds are Fabio Ide, Joross Gamboa, Carl Guevarra, Marco Mañalac, Bryann Foronda and Rocco Nacino. While the 69 Hottest Bachelors include Mark Orosa, Nico Ibaviosa, Kiko Matos, Paul Jake Castillo, Hermes Bautista and Johan Santos.

Poll: Venus Raj - Kapamilya or Kapuso?

    Two TV networks reportedly have their offers ready for Miss Universe 2010 4th Runner Up Maria Venus Raj as soon as her contract with the Binibining Pilipinas Charities, Inc (BPCI) expires 3rd quarter of 2011.

    They still have to wait for so long, but it's quite interesting to know where Venus will sign an exclusive contract with.

    During the time she was dethroned as Binibining Pilipinas-Universe 2010, Venus first had a live interview on ABS-CBN's The Buzz, then she later guested on GMA 7's Startalk and Showbiz Central. The Kapuso station's public service program "Wish Ko Lang" even had a special episode featuring Venus and her simple life in CamSur.

    After that, she was seen on The Bottomline with Boy Abunda in the Kapamilya network.

    Before her reinstatement, Venus once guested on ABS-CBN's Wowowee along with other beauty queens, but during the time when BPCI already gave chance to Venus to win back her crown by providing a valid passport, she first guested on GMA's Startalk.

    Wish Ko Lang had another episode for Venus when it gave its own send-off party for the beauty queen days before she left for Las Vegas.

    ABS-CBN made a coverage of the Miss Universe 2010 pageant where Dyan Castillejo got to interview Venus many times even after the pageant. However, ABS-CBN only had taped interviews with Venus but it was 24 Oras which had a live interview with Venus the day she arrived from Las Vegas.

    Last Saturday, Venus appeared on Startalk then she was in Party Pilipinas the next day, followed by a guesting on The Buzz and after a few minutes, she was seen on Showbiz Central.

    Hosts of Showbiz Central even asked Venus if she's willing to be an exclusive contract star of GMA 7. Venus wasn't ready yet to talk about it but she said she's so much willing to be a Kapuso.

    But days before her Showbiz Central interview, Venus told SNN that her ultimate crush is Kapamilya actor Coco Martin and she wants to work with him soon.

    For sure, Venus is already weighing options as to where she will sign an exclusive contract with in 2011.

    If you were to decide, where do you want to see Venus or what do you like best for her? Make a choice at the poll below:

Ervic Vijandre to reveal a secret of Marian Rivera? | Dingdong Dantes not open to working with Ervic

    Basketball player and model Ervic Vijandre is among the 18 castaways on GMA 7's Survivor Philippines Showdown which is about to premiere tonight.

    Ervic Vijandre Survivor castaway

    Ervic Marian photo

    But before we know him now as a Survivor castaway, we already knew him so well as Marian Rivera's boyfriend for 8 years before Dingdong Dantes.

    And now that Ervic is entering showbiz for real, he's not spared from facing intrigues and endless issues about ex-love Marian Rivera. But is Marian already his "ex-love" or does he still love her?

    Ervic indeed has lots of issues to face. How true that Dingdong was the reason why he and Marian broke up? And how about the rumor that he was trying to win Marian back but the actress dumped him and chose Dingdong?

    There's also this rumor that Ervic is going to reveal a secret about Marian. I don't think it's gonna or it should happen. If he's a true gentleman, he won't reveal anything against Marian.

    But how about working with Marian and Dingdong in a teleserye or a movie? That's one good idea, but Dingdong is quick to disapprove on this one.

    In an article by Mario Bautista published on Journal Online yesterday, it seems Dingdong doesn't like the idea. He also doesn't like Ervic to use Marian in his entry to showbiz. "Honestly, it won't be a good idea. Mas mabuti if he'd make it on his own talent so he won't be accused na he's just banking on a past relationship," he said.

    Aside from issues with Marian, Ervic also has to face a malicious rumor that he allegedly caused the breakup of Paolo Bediones and Abby Cruz last year just because of the "cozy" photos of Ervic and Abby in Boracay? (Ervic and Abby were both finalists in the Century Tuna Superbods '09 held in Bora)

    I remember those pictures. I once posted them here before. Ang babaw naman kung ganon!

Bianca Manalo, Cesar Montano on FHM Philippines Cover for September 2010

    After Maggie Wilson, Carlene Aguilar and Priscilla Meirelles, another beauty queen is gracing FHM Philippines and this time, it's Venus Raj's predecessor Bianca Manalo.

    Binibining Pilipinas-Universe 2009 Pamela Bianca Manalo graces the cover of FHM Philippines for its September 2010 issue.

    As an FHM cover girl, it affirms Bianca as a promising star in showbiz today, after conquering television via "Magkaribal" and an episode on "MMK".

    I hope Sandra Seifert will be the next beauty queen to cover FHM.

    Back-to-back with Bianca in the same issue of FHM Philippines is the mag's special men of style edition. Last year, it was Robin Padilla who was the cover guy, but for this year, it's Cesar Montano.

    FHM Philippines Septemer 2010 issue is now available in newsstands and magazine stores nationwide.

Popularity Poll: Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown

Movie Trailer: "White House" - a horror flick from Regal Films

    Three days after "Mamarazzi" opened in theaters, Regal Entertainment, Inc. has already released the movie trailer of its next offering, entitled "White House", topbilled by Gabby Concepcion.

    Though it's like a combination of some of Regal's horror films in the past, "White House" is still interesting to watch. The trailer is already terrifying and freaky intense.

    Is this Gabby's first ever horror film? If yes, then it's extra exciting!

    Joining Gabby in the film are Iza Calzado, Lovi Poe, Joem Bascon, Janus del Prado, Megan Young, Mo Twister, Sarah Lahbati, Jairus Aquino, Lui Villaruz, Angel Jacob and Maricar Reyes.

    Is it DJ Mo's first ever movie? Oh well, he's still speaking so much English here.

    "White House" opens in October in time for Halloween 2010 and is directed by Topel Lee, who helmed "Ouija", "Sundo" and three episodes in "Shake, Rattle & Roll" movies.

Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown premieres Aug. 30 right after 24 Oras

    GMA 7's Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown premieres this Monday, August 30, 2010, on GMA Telebabad.

    The network's publicist Dinno Erece shares on Twitter that contrary to some reports, Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown will be shown not after "Endless Love" but right after "24 Oras".

    Though I'm feeling happy that GMA 7's Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown won't be clashing against my fave show on ABS-CBN, PHR: Kristine, I also feel sad about it. Why?

    It's a timeslot for the kids and therefore, the show will be carefully edited so as not to be offensive to young viewers.

    That would be boring!

    As everyone's hoping to see lots of skin from the castaways, some of them are hunky men and sexy babes, they will be limiting the scenes to make it suited for an early primetime.

    I wonder how they're gonna do it when for sure most of the time, the girl castaways are wearing swimsuits and the boys are probably half-naked in some instances.

    We'll see this Monday how it's going to be.

    After the hit comedy "Hating Kapatid" and the drama film "In Your Eyes", Viva Films shifts back to comedy as "Petrang Kabayo" hits theaters this September.

    "Petrang Kabayo" is the launching movie of Vice Ganda after doing support roles in his past 3 movies.

    It's a remake of the 1988 film of the same title with Roderick Paulate in the title role.


    Hunky men in the film are Tom Rodriguez, who in real life loves horses, and Luis Manzano, who had a wardrobe malfunction while shooting the film. His private part went out of his boxers while filming a shower scene, but of course, we're not gonna see that in the movie. How sad! (Totoy Mola at pang-kabayo pa naman daw!)

    Eugene Domingo has a special participation in "Petrang Kabayo" which also stars Sam Pinto, Candy Pangilinan, DJ Durano, John Arcilla, Makisig Morales, Ricky Rivero, Joy Vidao, Eagle Riggs and Ms. Gloria Diaz.

    It's directed by Wenn V. Deramas.

ABS-CBN's Miss Universe 2010 telecast wins ratings both in Mega Manila and Nationwide

    The telecast of the Miss Universe 2010 pageant on ABS-CBN last Tuesday ruled both in AGB People Ratings (Mega Manila) and Kantar Media Ratings (Nationwide).

    The 2010 Miss Universe Pageant shown in the Kapamilya Network was the most watched daytime program last Tuesday as the Filipinos were hoping for Miss Philippines Venus Raj to win the crown but she finished as 4th Runner Up.

    And I think, for 4 years that ABS-CBN has been airing the Miss Universe Coronation, it's the first time that the network's telecast of the pageant placed #1 in Mega Manila.

K-POP Alert! Korean Pop Night 2010 Concert in Singapore | Performers line-up revealed!

    Korean Pop Night Concert will be staged once again in Singapore on October 23, 2010.

    That was confirmed by Proof Label Singapore, the K-pop Night 2010 concert organizer, last Sunday on its Facebook Page.

    And just last night, Proof Label has revealed the line-up of performers, which include 6 K-pop groups. They are:

    1. Big Bang
    2. F.T. Island
    3. Girls' Generation (SNSD)
    4. Infinite
    5. SHINee
    6. ?

    They're still keeping the 6th group a secret, which could mean, the last group to be revealed will be the main attraction or the highlight of the K-Pop Night 2010 concert.

    Proof Label promises to reveal the 6th group very soon as well as the ticket details and the concert venue.

    Now who do you want to be that 6th K-Pop group? Many are guessing it's 2NE1!

    [Just last Friday, Aug. 27, Proof Label revealed that the 6th group is Dae Guk Nam Ah (D-NA)]

    The Korean Pop Night Concert was last held in 2008 also in Singapore at the country's Indoors Stadium but had 4 K-pop groups (V.O.S (Voice of Soul), 2PM, U-Kiss, Wonder Girls) and 3 solo K-pop artists plus 2 local singers from Singapore.

Intensity: Rain, U-Kiss & Christian Bautista in one concert on September 11

    Korean pop artist and Hollywood actor Rain aka Jung Ji-Hoon / Bi Rain will be having a concert in the Philippines on September 11, 2010.

    Rain sexy photo

    Rain's Live in Manila concert is billed "Intensity", to be held at the
    SM Mall of Asia Open Ground, 8PM on September 11th. That's a Saturday!

    The "Ninja Assassin" star will be joined by another K-Pop artist, the group U-Kiss who will be performing in the Philippines for the 3rd time already. They were here just last March and June.

    Adding excitement to the "Intensity" concert is the inclusion of the
    Philippines' very own Christian Bautista, also a very popular singer
    in Indonesia, as the special guest in the concert.

    According to Christian's manager Carlo Orosa, Rain's Intensity concert in Manila is extra special because it will be Rain's last concert before he submits himself to the Korean Military Service.

    Rain will enter the military on September 28 and render 2-year service as a mandatory requirement for all male citizens in Korea.

    Rain Live in Manil Concert

    The "Intensity" concert tickets are priced P500, P1,500, P3,000 and P4,500 plus 3% service charge.

    For tickets, call Ticketworld at (02)8919999 or SM Mall of Asia at (02)4702222.

Venus Raj Question and Answer Portion in Miss U continues to make headlines

Yog Closing Ceremony tomorrow, August 26 | Philippines wins no medal

    The 12-day Summer Youth Olympic Games (YOG) is about to end tomorrow, August 26, 2010 via a closing ceremony at The Float in Marina Bay, Singapore.

    It's the culmination of the 2 weeks that more than three thousand young athletes from over 200 countries competed in various sport events and showed the true "youth spirit".

    Just like in the opening ceremony, the YOG Closing Ceremony will have fireworks and a celebration concert was prepared for the YOG participants and spectators.

    The Yog Closing Ceremony starts at 7:30 PM.

    The Philippines is among the participating countries with 10 delegates in the first ever Youth Olympic Games and unfortunately, the country will have no medal to bring back home.

    The countries with the most number of medals won are China, Russia and Ukraine.

Venus Raj "Major Major" answer in the Ms Universe 2010 Q&A Portion is trending on Twitter

    Miss Universe 2010 4th Runner Up Maria Venus Raj has been trending for hours already on Twitter along with Miss Mexico Jimena Navarrete, the new Ms Universe titleholder.

    But also trending is Venus Raj's "Major Major" answer during the Top 5 Q&A portion of the Miss Universe 2010 pageant.

    "Major Major" has been trending there as some people making fun of Venus Raj's answer in the said pageant.

    According to some, Venus made a major major mistake in answering the question: "What is one big mistake you've made and what did you do to make it right?" She could have been the Philippines' 3rd Miss Universe if she answered it right, they say.

    Others suggest that Venus should have answered her mistake in not fixing the details on her birth certificate which brought major major problems to her.

    Oh well, whatever they say, Venus Raj has definitely brought major major glory and pride to the Philippines 12 hours after the Manila hostage crisis that put the country into big shame.

    It was just unfortunate that the 4 other ladies in Top 5 answered better but how do we know? 2 of them used translators and their answers sounded so good especially when translated.

    And remember we were only hoping for a semifinal placement for Venus to end the 10-year drought of the Philippines in Miss Universe. Thus a 4th Runner Up honor is already a major major bonus. Let's just all be proud of her.

    Venus meanwhile isn't affected with it. In a phone patch interview with GMA 7's 24 Oras, she just laughed at it and said, "O atleast di ba? 'Yung
    major major ko nagbigay ng karangalan sa Pilipinas."

    Relive Venus Raj's major major moment...

Swimsuit Photos of Miss Mexico Jimena Navarrete, Ms. Universo 2010 winner

    Miss Mexico Jimena Navarrete, 22, is Miss Universe 2010, only the 2nd from Mexico to win Miss Universe.

    The first was Miss Universe 1991 and now Belleza Mexico National Director Lupita Jones, who was crowned also in Las Vegas. Wow! Las Vegas indeed loves the Mexicans, just like in boxing where Mexicans fought and won in Vegas.

    My wish to see Philippines and Mexico as the last 2 women standing in
    Miss Universe 2010 wasn't granted but it was all just fine. Jimena Navarrete was #2 on my list next to Philippines, who finished only as
    4th Runner Up.

    During the swimsuit round, Jimena scored the 2nd highest with 9.276 and for the evening gown, she got the highest score of 8.913.

    Check out swimsuit photos of Jimena Navarrete:

    *The Miss Universe crown stays in the Americas for the 3rd straight year after Venezuela both in 2008 and 2009.

    *Miss Mexico and Miss Jamaica were already the clear favorites by the telecast judges since the swimsuit round. Jamaica topped the swimsuit round followed by Mexico and then Mexico ruled the long gown competition with Jamaica in close 2nd.

    *It took 19 years for Mexico to have its 2nd Miss Universe titleholder. The last time was in 1991 when Lupita Jones won also in Las Vegas.

    *Philippines' 4th Runner Up placement is the country's only and highest placement during the 2000s and the 2nd highest in the last two decades. Miriam Quiambao was 1st Runner Up in 1999.

    *It's the 2nd consecutive Most Photogenic award for Thailand.

    *It's very rare that a recipient of the Miss Congeniality award enters the semis and even placed 2nd Runner Up.

On CNN: Manila Vice Mayor Isko Moreno defends the Philippines

    Former sexy actor and now Manila City Vice Mayor Isko Moreno was interviewed on CNN regarding the hostage crisis which happened earlier.

    I wasn't able to watch it, but ABS-CBN reporter Niña Corpuz shared on Twitter an interesting post about the CNN interview with Isko Moreno.

    Niña's tweet says: "CNN asked VM Isko Moreno what will he tell those who are now having 2nd thought of visiting the Philippines? Ans: This can happen anywhere in the world."

    GMA News TV also on Twitter has a post related to that and Isko Moreno reportedly told CNN: "Generally speaking, I can honestly say, everyone is welcome in Manila, everyone is safe in Manila. This is an incident that could have happened anywhere in the world."

    He also said that he's proud of how the Manila police handled the hostage crisis.

    For some, VM Isko Moreno sounded like a beauty queen who failed in a Q&A portion while others defend him that he has no other intention but to defend the Philippines.

    And just because of his statement on CNN, people have been talking about Isko Moreno that it made him one of the top trending topics on Twitter tonight.

    Filipino-related terms are actually dominating Twitter right at this moment following the hostage drama. Six out of the 10 Trending Topics are about the Philippines: Quirino Grandstand, Isko Moreno, Rolando Mendoza, Venus Raj, Hostage Taker, Filipinos.

Manila, Philippines hostage drama on board Hong Thai Travel bus

    The TV programming both on ABS-CBN and GMA were affected by the hostage drama that happened at the Quirino Grand Stand in Manila, Philippines on Monday, August 23, 2010.

    The airing of some primetime TV series had to be moved to a later timeslot while other shows for the day also had to be cancelled to give way for the networks' news programs which had an extensive live coverage of the hostage drama.

    ABS-CBN's TV Patrol even had a live video streaming online and was watched by people around the world, including the international news organizations who were picking up and reporting the story live and straight from the Philippines.

    As seen on television, the hostage drama happened onboard a Hong Thai Travel bus, which had 25 Chinese tourists from Hong Kong.

    The hostage taker was a former police officer identified as Rolando Mendoza, 55 years old, and was demanding to be reinstated to his job.

    Mendoza reportedly hijacked the Hong Thai Travel Bus between 9am to 10am and the hostage drama lasted for almost 12 hours. It was resolved only after the hostage taker was killed by the assaulting team.

    It's so unfortunate that 8 hostages died in the incident, reportedly killed by the hostage taker.

    The tourists were already on their last day touring Manila, Philippines and were scheduled to return to Hong Kong 7PM the same day.

    The said hostage drama was kinda shameful. It isn't good for the image of the Philippines and I just hope it would not affect the tourism industry of the country.

Miss Philippines Maria Venus Raj cries during rehearsal for Miss Universe 2010 finals

    Miss Philippines Maria Venus Raj reportedly cried during rehearsal for the finals of Miss Universe 2010.

    Three days before the Miss Universe 2010 finale, Maria Venus Raj from the Philippines received a bad news from her hometown in CamSur,
    Philippines.

    Her bestfriend and mentor Melody Gersbach, who's also a Binibining
    Pilipinas titleholder, died in a vehicular accident on Saturday
    morning in the Philippines (Friday evening in Las Vegas).

    The accident happened at Bula, CamSur, one hour away from Bato,
    CamSur, hometown of Venus Raj.

    Venus was on rehearsal in Las Vegas for the Miss Universe 2010 pageant when she learned about it.

    According to Binibining Pilipinas 2010 2nd Runner Up Nicolette Henson, who's there with Venus in Vegas, she didn't know how to tell Venus
    about what happened to Melody 'coz it might affect her focus in the pageant. But it turned out though that someone already texted her and
    as a beauty queen with grace, Venus remains strong and focused.

    Nicolette wrote on her Facebook Page: "Met with Venus earlier...di namin alam pa'no sasabihin dahil ang saya-saya naman niya onstage.
    During their break, she broke the ice and said nalaman nya from her Ate. We hugged and cried. But she is well-focused sa pageant. Strong
    and motivated!"

    OPMB Photographer Jory Rivera, who's also there covering the event, shared on Facebook that Venus is deeply saddened with Melody's passing and she has always regarded Melody as an angel to her.

    Jory remembers how wonderful person Melody was. "Melody was such a sweet and soft-spoken lady. You will be missed. We will draw strength from you. Guide Venus in her journey to win the crown."

    Both Bicolanos, Venus and Melody were longtime friends. They both competed in Miss Tabak 2008 in Tabaco City, Albay and later went to different beauty pageants. Venus became Miss Philippines Earth-Eco Tourism 2008 while Melody went on to become Binibining Pilipinas-International 2009.

    This year, Melody encouraged Venus to join Binibining Pilipinas 2010 and even recommended Venus to her trainor. Venus walked away with the Binibining Pilipinas-Universe title and Melody was behind her all
    throughout, even standing as a mentor and coach to Venus.

    Melody and Venus were last seen together at the latter's send-off
    party to Miss U pageant last August 2.

    Mutya ng Pilipinas 2009 Jane Riel Bañares, another Bicolana beauty and friend of Venus and Melody, also recalled how supportive Melody was to her. "Ate Mel thanks
    everything for watching my pageants, for giving me advices and for all
    the support. Lam mo namang tayo ang magkapareho ng kakulangan pero
    nasobrahan ng balakang. I'm gonna miss you," Jane's FB status said.

    According to Jane, it's Venus who described Melody as someone "na paa pa lang, pang-Dyosa na."

    Melody was truly a goddess and an angel, and will always be.

Beauty Queen Melody Gersbach dead in car accident

    Filipino-German beauty titlist Melody Adelheid Gersbach has died in a horrible car accident today, August 21, 2010.

    Melody Gersbach photo

    I'm actually having a hard time blogging about this 'coz I love her a lot.

    A fellow Bicolano, Melody was going to Naga City this morning when the accident happened.

    According to ABS-CBN News, Melody with make-up artist / fashion designer Alden Orense and two others were on their way from Melody's hometown in Albay to Naga City when their car collided with a passenger bus going to Legazpi City.

    The crash happened at Sitio Banasi, Brgy. Pawili, Bula, Camarines Sur, that's 15 minutes away from the famous CamSur Watersports Complex (CWC) and 30 minutes away from Naga City, where she was about to judge in the screening of applicants for the Peñafrancia Festival's Miss Bicolandia 2010.

    The report said that she was also about to meet her boyfriend in Naga City. Gersbach, Orense and the driver were dead on the spot while the other is in critical condition.

    Melody Gersbach was only 24 years old and she died on the day the Philippines is commemorating the 26th Death Anniversary of National Hero Ninoy
    Aquino.

    Melody was Mutya ng Magayon 2008, Miss Bicolandia 2008 and Binibining Pilipinas-International 2009. She won those titles in just less than a year. (More Pictures of Melody)

    She later competed in the Miss International 2009 pageant held in China where she was a huge favorite and placed as a Top 15 semifinalist.

    Just this year, Melody was about to be in a love triangle with Aga Muhlach and Ai-Ai delas Alas on ABS-CBN's sitcom "M3: Malay Mo Madevelop". She already did a pictorial with Aga and Ai, but for an unclear reason, Melody's appearance in the show didn't push through.

    Last May, Melody participated in the BPCI's Grand Santacruzan at the Araneta Center and just last August 2, she attended the send-off party for Miss Philippines Universe 2010 Maria Venus Raj. It was already her last time to take part in a Binibining Pilipinas event.

    You'll forever be remembered Melody.
