Organizers of an award-giving body have sworn not to give any more trophies to Rebellious Worker (RW) ever again. They said they got traumatized after RW ruined their program sequence by delivering a thank-you speech that’s 30 minutes long. Their production team had to remove several segments of the show because RW took his sweet time reading the names of people on his list and telling anecdotes related to his life as an actor. Meanwhile, there were over a hundred honorees that night.RW ignored procedures, which were discussed to him during a preshow meeting.

Unlike my mom, I play both good and bad cop with them. I’d often say, ‘Girls, this is what you should do. This is what you should avoid.’ While I make them decide for themselves, I’m not too lenient—mahirap din kasi. I’m just grateful and happy that they’re good kids,” she told Inquirer in a recent media gathering. Adjustments “I … [Read more...] about Why Ruffa Gutierrez’s parenting style is different from her mom Annabelle’s
