MANILA, Philippines – Action star Robin Padilla defended Luis Manzano, John Lloyd Cruz and Billy Crawford, collectively known as “Kanto Boys,” from criticisms that surfaced after they replaced the action star on “Wowowee.”
Critics said Padilla was a better host compared to Manzano, Cruz and Crawford.
Padilla said he should not be compared to the three young guest hosts, noting that they have different styles of hosting.
“Ako ay matanda, ang mga ‘Kanto Boys‘ ay mga bata. Talagang magkaiba po ‘yon. Kaya kung ikukumpara nila ang ‘Kanto Boys’ sa akin ay huwag po sana dahil magkaiba po talaga kami ng style,” Padilla said.
Padilla, who was also criticized while hosting “Wowowee,” appealed to all televiewers to accept “Kanto Boys” the way they accepted him when he was the guest host of the hit afternoon program.
The action star hosted “Wowowee” for 2 weeks only. In his previous interview, Padilla said he was open to hosting “Wowowee” permanently.
Padilla, who is now preparing for his 2 films, admitted that he already missed the show, particularly its female hosts.
“Ayoko lang po kasi na masabi ng tao na ako po ay nang-agaw. Gusto ko lang po talaga ay isang malinaw na usapan,” Padilla said.
Mariel-Zanjoe break-up
A now single Padilla also distanced himself from Mariel Rodriguez and Zanjoe Marudo’s break up.
Padilla, who is being romantically linked to Rodriguez, said he is in no position to comment on the issue. He also hoped that Rodriguez and Marudo would be able to iron things out.
Padilla has repeatedly denied that he is courting Rodriguez. “’Yon po ay sa apat na sulok lang po ng ‘Wowowee.’” -Report by Reyma Buan-Deveza, abs-cbnNEWS.com

Kumalat na sa Internet ang larawan ng swimsuit malfunction ng actress-TV host na si Anne Curtis.
May ginagawang pelikula ngayon ang actor-singer na si Sam Milby kasama ang kanyang ex-girlfriend na si Anne Curtis, ito ay ang Babe I Love You para sa Star Cinema at Viva Films.
Kung sa pagtatapos ng 2009 ay madalas makitang magkasama ang dating magkasintahan na sina Sam Milby at Anne Curtis sa mga showbiz events, sa pagsisimula pa lang ng 2010 ay marami ang nakapansin na tila nag-iiwasan na ang dalawa. Ang usap-usapan ay nauwi na naman sa hiwalayan ang sandaling pagbabalikan ng dalawa.
Angel Locsin stars the Pinoy version of “Only You” with Sam Milby and Diether Ocampo. The show is ranked among the network’s Primetime Bida.
Turning 25 this coming May 23, masasabing malayo-layo na rin ang narating ng career ni Sam Milby in the almost four years that he’s been in show business.
Sam Milby wasn’t able to attend the presscon of Only You since he just got back from a successful concert tour of the Heartthrobs in the US with Piolo Pascual, John Lloyd Cruz, Bea Alonzo and Pokwang. ABS-CBN.com bumped into Sam sa ASAP ’09 and he was accommodating enough to answer questions. “Successful ang concert namin doon, lalo na sa New Jersey at sa Illinois, ang daming pinoy talaga.” People also gave positive comments about Sam for being the most accommodating among the artists at siya ang pinagkaguluhan ng fans. Any comment about that? “Ah, yeah? Kasi, whenever people approach me naman for pa-picture or autograph signing, I give it to them. Kaya siguro sinasabi nilang ganoon ako.”
Actress Anne Curtis has confessed that she missed being in a romantic relationship.

ANGEL LOCSIN, Sam Milby, Diether Ocampo, Dimples Romana and Iya Villania told me they had a splendid time shooting some scenes of the upcoming Pinoy version of the Koreanovela “Only You” in Seoul, even if it was freezing cold.
