Carmina Villarroel asks Zoren Legaspi: 'Naging marupok ka na ba?'
Has Zoren Legaspi ever fallen into temptation? On Tuesday's "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," Zoren and his wife Carmina Villarroel engaged in a conversation about marital temptations, leading to the actor being put on the hot seat when directly asked about his perspective on vulnerability. Zoren was explaining his belief that temptation, especially amplified by social media with its private messages, is ever-present, adding that if a husband feels neglected, he might become "marupok." So Carmina promptly challenged his stance and asked: "Naging marupok ka na ba?" Zoren's initial reaction was to repeat the question, which Carmina quickly interpreted. "Kita mo 'yan? Kapag inuulit-ulit ang tanong, ibig sabihin, parang sinasabi niya, 'I'm guilty,'" she said. When asked again, Zoren admitted, "Muntik na." He credited his strong "spiritual" foundation as the crucial factor that prevented him from succumbing to temptation. "That's why it's very important," he said. Despite his near-vulnerability, Zoren said that he did not have any complains about Carmina's care for him. Carmina and Zoren got married in 2012. They have twins together, Cassy and Mavy. Carmina just turned 50 years old, and Zoren surprised her with a birthday party. The Legaspi Family is set to star in "Hating Kapatid." It is their first series as a family. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News

Vic Sotto testifies in cyber libel case vs. Darryl Yap
Actor-host Vic Sotto on Tuesday testified before a Muntinlupa court for his cyber libel case against director Darryl Yap, his lawyer said. Atty. Enrique Dela Cruz, the actor's legal counsel, told GMA News Online that Sotto testified on the alleged malice on the part of Yap for making him appear that he raped Pepsi Paloma. The case stemmed from the teaser of the Yap's upcoming film, "The Rapists of Pepsi Paloma," released last January 1, where the character of Gina Alajar (who is portraying Charito Solis) asked the lead actress portraying Paloma if she was raped by actor-host Vic Sotto. The lead character replied, "yes." However, in his sworn judicial affidavit, Sotto said that a draft copy of the film showed that the scene shown in the teaser was cut short. Sotto also said that in a previous hearing, Yap testified that the full movie will not name him as one of the rapists. "The script of the movie stated that it was just a 'publicity stunt' but that was not mentioned in the teaser video," Dela Cruz said. Yap's camp declined to comment. Yap was charged for libel under Article 353 and 355 of the Revised Penal Code, as amended in relation to violation of the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012. He pleaded not guilty to the charges. Meanwhile, Dela Cruz said the next hearing will be on September 9. —MGP, GMA Integrated News
