It's not sudden news, and everyone is expecting answers, all that is needed is the confirmation that the story spread before was correct. Well, those who published the story on different platforms are somehow correct and a bit wrong.

It is correct in a way because the two are in that situation of going on separate ways. You may find it interesting that this is common in every relationship. It is on that stage where either she or he is losing one's self. Or finding out that he or she is stuck. They somehow find in themselves that there's a need to recover and redeem the old self to create a much better soul. Of course, this is just my opinion about the situation.

The truth lies in the joint statement of James Reid and Nadine Lustre.


"It's true that we have split up but not for all the reason that are being spread on the tabloids and social media but because after quiet and mature conversations, we decided to focus on ourselves not only for our careers but more for our personal growth as we are still young and we want to achieve as much as we can. We agreed that going separate ways was best for both of us. We are in good terms and are still really good friends and will continue to work with each other especially when it comes to music.

Thank you for all the JADINE FANS for their undying support and we hope you continue to support us now and in the future. We shall forever be grateful to them for their love and understanding.

Thank You"

Of course, even though this statement was released, some wouldn't take the declaration as it is. Just like what they mentioned when they are being asked about their thoughts on living together, it's a matter of CHOICE. And it is their choice that they went on separate ways.

Beautiful and charming this sweet little princess would probably make it in any way, with just a wink of her eyes and a flick of a smile, you'll say yes to her for sure. So, ABS-CBN Lifestyle welcomes 2020 on a happy note as they feature its youngest #ABSCBNLifestyleInspo yet—four-year-old social media sensation Scarlet Snow Belo-Kho, who spreads good vibes this January with a little help from her parents, celebrity doctors Vicki Belo and Hayden Kho.

One of the most beautiful woman in the universe is probably the best fit in the new segment of It's Showtime. Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray kickstart the new chapter of her life by bringing her signature charm to noontime TV in ABS-CBN’s “It’s Showtime,” serving as one of the special hosts of its new segment “Mini Ms. U.”

“Mini Ms. U” is a pageant for little girls who want to unleash their inner beauty queen and showcase their wit, talent, and passion for their chosen causes.

“They’re really cute. And just to see them really performing so well on stage and having such high confidence at that age – it’s really amazing to see,” said Catriona, who is also taking lessons to improve her spoken Tagalog.

Each day, three charming young beauty queens will compete to become the daily winner, who will then have a shot at pursuing her advocacy or getting her wish come true in the weekly finals. The grand winner of the competition will have a chance at becoming ABS-CBN’s next child superstar.

“It’s Showtime” also brings good fortune to its madlang people with the new segment “Piling Lucky.” Every day, the show opens its doors to fans who line up at the ABS-CBN Audience Entrance, from which the Lucky 100 will be drawn. From the Lucky 100, the Lucky 20 players will be brought to the studio to carry out challenges using their chosen lucky items in successive rounds.

In the end, only one out of the 20 players will remain to play the ultimate game of luck and win the jackpot prize of P50,000. If no one wins the prize, it will be added to the accumulated jackpot prize money the next day.

“Tawag ng Tanghalan,” Philippine TV’s premier singing competition, also kicked off its fourth year on air as it continues to scour the country and other parts of the world to look for the singing superstar who will follow in the footsteps of grand winners Noven Belleza, Janine Berdin, and Elaine Duran.

The competition boosts the stakes for all contenders in its fourth year, which will place the daily winner or defending champion under the threat of the ‘gong’ in the daily faceoff round. Aside from the punong hurado, other judges can also ‘gong’ a contender if four of them press their buzzers during the performance – a new feature called “power of four.”

Moreover, four industry legends will also be introduced as new members of its esteemed panel of ‘hurados’ soon.

Watch out for more surprises in “Mini Ms. U,” “Piling Lucky,” and the fourth year of “Tawag ng Tanghalan” in “It’s Showtime,” which airs from Mondays to Saturdays on ABS-CBN and ABS-CBN HD (Sky Cable ch 167).

It's another series from the country's first and true home of Asianovelas, ABS-CBN, brings viewers back to the Joseon era as it premieres the hit Korean drama “Flower Crew: Dating Agency” on January 6, 2020.

Korean drame enthusiasts will surely have an interesting story to watch out on 2020 at the Kapamilya network.

This fairy tale brings the story of Lee Soo (Seo Ji Hoon), an ordinary countryside blacksmith, who is in love with the slave, Gae Ddong (Gong Seung-Yeon) and hires the matchmaking experts of the Flower Crew Dating Agency, as he intends to propose marriage to her. On the day of their supposed wedding, he disappears, but later emerges as the king of Joseon.

But becoming royalty does not change his feelings for Gae Ddong. This time, he faces the impossible because as king, he cannot marry a woman with a humble background. He then looks for and seeks help from the Flower Crew to transform Gae Ddong into a noblewoman.

The task proves to be difficult for three men from the agency—Ma Hoon (Kim Min-Jae), Do Joon (Byeon Woo-Seok) and Go Young Soo (Park Ji-Hoon)—as they are confronted with complex choices between politics and etiquette, loyalties and emotions, and adversaries and their very own friendship.

Catch the premiere of “Flower Crew: Dating Agency” on January 6, 2020.
