Kim delos Santos reveals Dingdong Dantes was cause of past 'tampuhan' with Antoinette Taus
The nurse and former child actress guested on "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" Monday where she made the revelation for the first time.
During the "Fast Talk" segment, Kim named Antoinette, who she referred to as Toni, as the actress she had tampuhan with.
When prodded by Tito Boy about it, she shared that it was because they both liked Dingdong, whom Antoinette eventually had a relationship with.
"Parehas kaming gusto nung time na 'yun siguro kaya lagi kami nagtatalo. Siya 'yung lalaking gusto ko before, [si] Dingdong. Pinagseselosan before. Ay nasabi ko rin! First time kong banggitin 'yun," she shared.
According to Kim, they managed to settle the issue since they have all matured.
"Oo, tumanda na eh, we're older. Syempre bagets eh, we were teens, so selos dito, selos dun, 'yung mga ganun," she said.
Kim also shared during her interview that she got the chance to talk to Dingdong and Polo Ravales earlier.
"Sabi ni Polo, 'Dingdong has a new show.' Sabi ko, 'really?' Sabi niya, 'Sabihin mo sali ka' and then Dingdong was asking me if it's okay for me to come here and stuff like that and I said yeah, I can always ask for changing my work to PRN as needed, so it's one of the options that I've been thinking about and Dingdong was like, 'sigurado ka ba?' Kasi namimiss Tito Boy, [acting's] in your blood, it's like you miss it," she said.
Kim is back in the Philippines after being away from showbiz for more than 20 years. During her interview with Tito Boy, she mentioned that she returned because she misses acting and wants to try it out again. She added that she would like to do drama and work with the same people she has worked with before.
Kim starred as Tere Gonzaga in the '90s coming-of-age series "T.G.I.S." alongside Dingdong, Antoinette, the late Red Sternberg, Angelu De Leon, Bobby Andrews, Rica Peralejo, Dino Guevarra, and more.
Directed by Mark Reyes, the show premiered on GMA Network in August 1995 and had over 200 episodes. It also had a film, "T.G.I.S.: The Movie," released in 1997.

Mitena freezes Batis ng Katotohanan
The sacred waters of the Batis ng Katotohanan (Ashley Rivera) have fallen silent, encased in ice by Mitena (Rhian Ramos) herself after it refused to answer the question that's been haunting her. On Tuesday's episode of "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre," Mitena demanded the truth after discovering that she had been deceived her about the existence of another powerful living Encantadia aside from herself. The ruthless ice queen demanded to know whether she is the mysterious female warrior haunting her dreams. When the Batis refuses to answer, Mitena unleashes her icy might, and with a wave of her scepter Esperanto, she freezes the Batis ng Katotohanan, halting its truths in a translucent stillness. But Mitena's thirst for truth doesn't stop there. Even with Batis ng Katotoganan immobilized, she coerces Imaw into revealing the elusive Book of Akashic. However, Imaw confesses the manuscript has long been lost, or so he claims. In truth, he secretly ordered the book hidden to safeguard Encantadia's deepest secrets, preserving them from exposure. Meanwhile, in the mortal realm, Terra (Bianca Umali) saved Cami (Pam Prinster), her bully, from assailants. "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" airs on GMA Network from Mondays to Fridays at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." You can also watch it online via the Kapuso Stream on YouTube. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News

Rhian Ramos recalls time she almost quit showbiz
Rhian Ramos revealed that she once came close to leaving the entertainment industry entirely. According to Nelson Canlas' report on '24 Oras' Tuesday, Rhian started her TV career with 'Captain Barbel,' followed by more of her memorable projects like 'Lalola,' 'Ilumina,' 'Stairway to Heaven," and more. The Kapuso actress shared that GMA Network has witnessed her entire adulthood journey. 'Literally wala akong isang kahit isang adult experience na hindi ako Kapuso. All of the officers of the network are my family and this network has even seen me at my worst. So, for me, it's such an honor to be able to promise the network that I'm going to give them nothing but my best from now on,' she said. However, her tenure in showbiz led to what Rhian described as a 'love-hate relationship' with her work. 'There was a time that I almost quit,' she admitted. 'I think when you do any job or anything for a long time, I think there is a point na nagiging love-hate relationship. May mga times na inspired ka naturally kasi magaganda 'yung role or whatever, may mga times din na parang napapagod ka din and parang gusto ko gumawa ng something bago.' During this period of contemplation, Rhian considered pursuing business. 'More on business where I felt like 'yung value ko would be different. Siyempre nauso din ang bashing 'di ba? When there are so many people looking at you and they have negative things to say, they could really break your heart and rip you to pieces with their words,' she said. Rhian just renewed her contract with the Kapuso network on Tuesday. Present at the contract signing were GMA Network President and Chief Executive Officer Gilberto R. Duavit, Jr., Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Felipe S. Yalong, GMA Network Senior Vice President for Programming, Talent Management, Worldwide, and Support Group Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes, GMA Network Officer-In-Charge for Entertainment Group and Vice President for Drama Cheryl Ching-Sy, and Rhian's manager Michael Uycoco. 'Nagpapasalamat tayo. The loyalty is so deeply appreciated. 'Yung kaniyang walang patid na pagtitiwala sa GMA and how she's evolved into one of the finest actress of her time, all of these are things that make us all very happy, so nagpapasalamat tayo sa kaniya,' Duavit said. 'I'm so happy for Rhian and I hope she would continue to flourish 'yung career niya with GMA and we're behind her,' Yalong said. 'I've seen her growth as an actress, in fact she's one of our best actresses now. Napakagaling niya, napaka-talented, and I'm very, very happy na she has stayed with us all these years,' Valdes said. Rhian currently stars in 'Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre' as Mitena. —Carby Rose Basina/CDC, GMA Integrated News

Yasmien Kurdi tearfully recounts daughter Ayesha undergoing 6-month therapy after alleged bullying
Yasmien Kurdi's daughter, Ayesha, had to seek therapy after her harrowing experience of allegedly getting bullied at her former school. On Tuesday's 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,' Yasmien tearfully said the young girl's challenging journey to healing involved six months of continuous therapy. 'It's very helpful for her kasi dahil sa mga panic attacks and anxiety attacks niya,' Yasmien said. The actress also pulled Ayesha out of the school and enrolled her in homeschooling instead. 'I had to protect her. Tanggalin ko na siya agad doon sa environment na 'yon. Kung toxic, toxic. Tanggalin na,' she said. Ayesha had to go 'back to zero' and finish her seventh grade lessons in a span of two months. 'Kaya si Daddy Ray nandiyan. Tinutukan niya si Ayesha,' she said, happily sharing that Ayesha even excelled in her subjects, including math. According to Yasmien, therapy combined with the supportive homeschooling environment paved the way for Ayesha's recovery. With the therapist's approval, Ayesha was able to return to a big school. 'Kasi she wants to go to volleyball. Kaya noong time, noong therapy niya, pinag-volleyball class namin siya everyday. Pinag-hosting,' Yasmien said. 'Dinamihan ko siya ng activities.' Ayesha is now also part of her new school's varsity volleyball team. 'Lumalaban sila. Like, I'm really happy for Ayesha,' Yasmien said. 'Though nandun pa rin 'yung mga episodes na nati-trigger pa rin siya and all, but, you know, 'pag may ganon, we go back again sa therapy. But, you know, we're healing slowly,' she said. In December, Yasmien took to social media to air out the alleged bullying that her daughter experienced from her classmates in Colegio San Agustin (CSA). CSA, however, said in a statement that "there appears to be no bullying" that happened. In the same month, Yasmien met with Department of Education chief Sonny Angara "to discuss potential solutions and strategies" to address bullying in schools. — Carby Basina/LA, GMA Integrated News
