Long before Klea Pineda came into Janella Salvador’s life, there was already a Hannah Grace Padua.

Unlike Salvador’s romantic interlude with Pineda, her episode with Padua was low-key but was an open secret with friends and those involved in the last Darna series where Jane de Leon played the iconic komiks lead character and where Salvador delineated an equally iconic character as Valentina.

It was during Darna where Salvador and Padua’s romance peaked, which started when the former appeared in her music video, Hey You. Padua, in both projects, was part of the technical team, as assistant director in Darna and as director in Hey You releases in 2024.

Thus, when we heard of Salvador and Pineda’s budding romance which got its romantic footing in the movie they starred together, we were no longer surprised.   

Oops, Janella did it again! That’s how we felt.

Melanie Marquez reveals abuse by American husband

Former beauty queen Melanie Marquez unabashedly revealed the abuses she went through from the hands of her husband Randy “Adam” Lawyer.

In her interview  with Boy Abunda on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda Monday, 5 January, Marquez revealed she  officially requested the Bureau of Immigration to cancel her husband’s visa and blacklist him.

A string of mental, psychological and physical abuse are what led Marquez to sever her marital ties with her husband.

In the  interview, Marquez recalled the  physical abuses she experienced at the hands of her husband —  being punched while sleeping and being threatened with a gun.  From these physical abuses, Marquez suffered damaged eardrum and a fractured  rib.

“Natutulog ako, Tito Boy, magkatabi kami. ‘Tapos, akala ko napanaginipan kong may sumuntok sa akin. But then, naalimpungatan ako. Parang nakita ko siyang nakatingin sa akin tapos sinuntok n’ya ako,” the former beauty queen recalled, (I was sleeping, Tito Boy, we’re sleepinh side by side.  Then, I thought I dreamt someone punched me.  But then I woke up. It was like I saw him looking at me then he punched me).”

The punch was so strong that when she had it checked up, she was told she has a  damaged  eardrum. 

There was even a time that her husband allegedly pointed a gun asking  to solve her problem which concerns his business.

“I don’t want him to come back here,” Marquez said.
