Ruffa Gutierrez remains quiet about tiff with Kris Aquino

RUFFA GUTIERREZ said on her taping at "Talentadong Pinoy" at Skydome EDSA that she's accepting Kris Aquino's apology. " I'm a very fun-loving individual at kaibigan ko rin naman si Kris, and I have the highest respect for her. I know that we love each other, and I know that we've been friends for a long, long time. Medyo nasaktan lang ako no'n kasi dun sa mga parinig niya na, 'O, you know, mahal na mahal ako ng mga taga-Laoag, 70 percent ng mga tao nakikita ako dito...' Parang pinapalabas niya na walang manonood sa akin sa TV5. But I didn't walk out. I just went to the dressing room to cry. I became emotional so I wasn't able to return to the studio anymore. I really wanna go back on air but I couldn't stop crying. So, natanggal na yung pilik-mata ko, nag-smear na yung eye liner ko. Kung isiping ng mga tao na OA, e di sige, OA. Ganun talaga emotion ko nung time na 'yon, wala akong magagawa. But, hindi ko talaga sinasadya 'yon. Let's move on with dignity and honor. Wala nang Team Ruffa, Team Kris. Team Friendship na lang, di ba?"

But the tiff is far from over. Annabelle Rama revealed that Kris has already been trying to embarrass Ruffa even before their show started on air last Sunday. "Di nakita ng viewers ang behind the scenes na nangyari bago pa nagsimula ang The Buzz," she says. "Nanay ako, kaya nasaktan ako para sa anak ko. Si Kris, nanay rin siya, siguradong masasaktan din siya kapag inaapi mga anak niya. Dapat pasalamat si Kris sa'kin dahil wake up call niya ko. Akong nagsasabing sobra na pagiging bratty niya. Asawa nga niyang si James Yap, nagagawa niyang hiyain sa TV, anak ko pa kaya? HIndi ko basta sinisiraan si Noynoy. What I said, di pa president si Noynoy, ang yabang-yabang na ni Kris. What more kung maging presidente siya? What Kris does reflects on him. Pinapa-review niya ang The Buzz, e hindi naman makikita dun ng mga tao ang nagyari bago pa nagsimula ang show. Nilapitan siya ni Ruffa, nag-kiss sa kanya pero di niya pinansin. Panay ang parinig niya habang tinitingnan ang anak ko mula ulo hanggang paa. Dapat rebyuhin lahat ng past episode ng The Buzz dahil makikitang matagal na niyang binabara-bara ang anak ko. Wala akong pakialam sa sinabi niyang galit ako dahil endorse nila si Dingdong Dantes. Huwag niyang ilihis ang issue. Sinasabi niyang may hidden agenda kami? Siya ang may hidden agenda. Nag-apologize agad siya para ako magmukhang kontrabida. Siempre, sasabihin ng tao, nag-apologize na nga siya, inaaway ko pa rin. Nag-apologize siya sa media, pero kay Ruffa mismo, hindi."

As Ruffa said in her Twitter account: "I've heard from the whole world except from Kris. So until then I will remain graciously quiet about this."

Ruffa is happy with TV 5 as they won't stop her from appearing in other TV stations. With what happened, she can no longer guest in ABS as they're siding with Kris, but she can guest on GMA-7 to promote her new movie, "Working Girls". Many movie writers, though, side with Ruffa as they really believe that Kris has long been trying to counter whatever she says in "The Buzz". "Gusto kasi ni Kris, no one else would shine kapag siya ang nasa ere kaya madalas na di pa tapos magsalita si Ruffa, umeentra na siya," says one writer. "Kaya lang siya nag-apologize agad, kasi kandidato si Noynoy. Otherwise, she'd even justify her actions."

What Raymond, Ruffa's brother, wrote also rings true: “Some people want all the spotlight and can be really tactless. When you’re trying to get the whole nation to be on your side; don’t be a bully. Take it as a joke if it happens once, but being bullied every week is a different story. How do you spell P-O-W-E-R- T-R-I-P-P-I-N-G?”

Another writer said Kris is probably aware that Ruffa is now a judge in "Talentadong Pinoy", a direct rival of "Pilipinas Got Talent" where Kris is also a judge. Both shows will now be seen on Saturday and Sunday night. Well, last Saturday, "Talentadong Pinoy" finals, where Ruffa was judge for the first time, got a whopping 47.8% rating. If this is an indication of things to come, then "Pilipinas Got Talent" has reason to be worried.
