PAGKATAPOS ng 40 taon ay muling nagkita sina Harrison Ford at ang Best supporting actor sa Oscars 2023 na si Ke Huy Quan.
Ang dalawang actor ay nagkasama sa Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
Naging emosyonal ang pagkikita ng dalawa kung saan bata pa noon si Ke Huy Quan.
Maging ang celebrities na nasa loob ng Dolby Theatre ay na-touch nang makita nilang mahigpit na niyakap ni HF ang batang actor noon na gumaganap bilang sidekick niya sa Indiana Jones.
Sa ngayon ay 80+ na ang IJ actor.
Komento ng mga nakapanood sa pagkikita ng dalawang actor,
“This is so very sweet and heartwarming! Favorite ko pa naman yung Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom among all the Indy movies. Hindi ako nagsasawang panoorin, from the 1st time it came out, 3rd yr high school ako till now. I hope they get to work again together.”
“so nice. i love it”
“Oh my, Short Round and Dr Jones! What an adventure. Tapos andun pa si Spielberg at Kate Capshaw. Kulang na lang si George Lucas.”

SA second part ng interview ng King of Talk sa Fast Talk With Boy Abunda may bago na namang rebelasyon si Liza Soberano.
Tuloy hindi talaga malaman sa aktres na ito kung ano talaga ang motibo niya sa pag-alis sa ABS-CBN at sa manager niyang si Ogie Diaz.
Ayon sa aktres, sinungaling umano si OD.
Aniya sa programa ng FTWBA, “It actually hurts me that he’s making up those lies about me… Why is he trying to say things to make people turn against me?”
Naging personal na ang mga tanong sa kanya ni Kuya Boy.
Kabilang na rito ang tungkol sa relasyon niya sa dating talent manager na si OD, at maging ang usaping pera ay naungkat din matapos batikusin ang aktres sa kanyang controversial vlog.
Aniya, “Hindi po ako nagko-complain. I was just stating facts.”
Nag-ugat ito nang nag-tweet ang isang netizen tungkol sa umano’y 40 percent na komisyong nakukuha ni Ogie kay Liza.
Tweet ng netizen, “Ang lala nung 40% commission.
“Ang laki talaga ng nawawala sa kanya. Wala pa diyan yung sa SM.
“Tas yung isang brand na umatras kasi nagpadagdag ng TF si OD kahit ok na kay Liza yung offer.”
Sinagot naman ni Ogie ang lahat ng paratang ng netizen.
Sinang-ayunan naman niya ito nang makapanayam siya ni Kuya Boy.
Ayon sa aktres, hindi totoong 40 percent ang nakukuhang komisyon ni Ogie sa kanya.
Wika niya, “Nakita ko rin po yon sa Twitter. I think people are accusing Tito Ogie of taking 40 percent from me.
“I wanna clarify na hindi din po yon totoo.
“I started with him at 12 [years old] and then up until I was… I believe 2015 or 2016, which was I was 17, 30 percent po yung commission niya sa akin.
“My Tita Jonie was taking 20 percent, and Star Magic was taking 10 percent.”
Ang tinutukoy na Tita Jonie ni Liza ay ang tumatayo niyang road manager at personal assistant.
Dahil daw sa hiwalay na tax na binabayaran ni Liza bilang U.S. citizen, umaabot na lang sa 30 percent ang nakukuha niya.
“My Tita Jonie started feeling bad for me for that situation, so nag-usap po sila ni Tito Ogie na bawasan na lang yung commissions nila from me.
“Because they felt, like, I deserved more since I was putting in a lot of work.
“So, eventually naging 20 percent na lang si Tito Ogie, at si Tita Jonie naging 15 percent…
“And Star Magic was still at 10 percent.”
Pero hindi raw kumukuha ng commission ang Star Magic kapag ang project ni Liza ay mula sa ABS-CBN, gaya ng teleserye o pelikula.
Sa kaso ng bago niyang management na Careless Music and Management, ang bawas daw sa talent fee ay kapareho lang ng kinukuha sa kanya ni Ogie noon. Eighty percent na ang napupunta sa kanya, at 20 percent naman sa Careless.
Natanong din ng TV host ang naging pahayag ni Ogie na hindi na siya kumukuha ng komisyon kay Liza nitong nakalipas na dalawang taon.
“Nabasa ko rin na in the last two years, correct me if I’m wrong, na hindi na kumukolekta ng komisyon si Tito Ogie mo. Is that right? Is that wrong?”
Umiling ang aktres at mahinang sinabi, “It’s not right. That’s incorrect.”
“It actually hurts me that he’s making up those lies about me…
“I feel like he’s trying to make it seem like I wasn’t profitable in the past two years that we were working together when he knows the truth.
“He knows my pains. He knows the things that I felt were… the things that were mishandled and stuff like that.
“It’s kinda unfair… I feel like he’s trying to tarnish my name. And he knows.”
Aniya pa, “I don’t wanna bring this up but he still gets commissions from some of the endorsements of mine that still fell under the time that I was under the contract with him, even though he has no more obligations.
“We told him that he has no more obligations towards me in those endorsements.
“Literally last month we gave him a paycheck for the endorsement that was renewed before our contract ended.
“Kahit na wala na po siyang ginagawa for that, we gave him commission. Because that was right. I wouldn’t breach my contract.”
Sundot na tanong pa ni Boy, “So, that was the last time you paid commission to your Tito Ogie?”
“He’s going to get another one this week,” sambit niya.
Aminado ang aktres na may tampo siya ngayon sa dati niyang manager.
Naku, hanggang kelan kaya matatapos ang isyung ito tungkol sa mga rebelasyon niya about her showbiz career?

ABS-CBN KINUMPIRMA TITIBAGIN ANG GUSALI
Kinumpirma ng ABS-CBN na nagkausap na sila ng Rockwell Land para gibain ang headquarters at iredevelop ito.
Ayon sa ABS-CBN, it has been talking to real estate companies, including fellow Lopez-led Rockwell Land, even before the pandemic to redevelop its headquarters in Quezon City.
Sinabi na ng Network sa Philippine Stock Exchange last March 13 na nagkaroon na raw sila ng discussion sa real estate developers “even prior to the start of the pandemic” para sa redevelopment ng 3.4-hectare property na nasa Mother Ignacia Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City kung saan naroroon ang news at entertainment studios.
Hindi na nag elaboarte ang ABS-CBN kung saan nila ire-relocate ang studios that would be affected by the redevelopment.
May iba pa naman daw buildings sa compound, including the Eugenio Lopez Jr. or ELJ Center, which is leased to its other subsidiaries and other companies.
The Kapamilya network, however, noted that “no deal has been agreed upon at this time.”
Maging ang fellow Lopez-owned company Rockwell Land ay nag-release na ng similar statement and confirmed parts of the report of online news outfit Bilyonaryo.
“Rockwell Land continuously searches for properties to develop in the usual course of its business. Rockwell Land has been studying the possibility of redeveloping the ABS-CBN property even prior to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic,” ayon sa property developer.
