Kris Aquino and Gretchen Barretto walks out

TWO WALKOUTS were staged recently. At her taping for "Kung Tayo'y Magkakalayo", Kris Aquino walked out because ABS-CBN News kept on playing as a teaser the video of her son Baby James saying he'll vote for Manny Villar, who happens to be the primary rival of her brother Noynoy in the presidential race. She was heard saying the News Department personnel are "evil people".

Of course, Manny Villar himself is elated with this free plug and said he'll send some expensive watches to Baby James, just like what he did to the daughters of Ruffa Gutierrez, Lorin and Venice, who have memorized his jingle and can sing them in full. But what will a two-year old boy like Baby James do with watches? The other walkout was held at the presscon of Gretchen Barretto for a soap product. At first, Greta didn't dodge any question about Derek Ramsay, her crush. She said they've done love scenes and more such scenes are lined up in the script. She wouldn't mind being linked to Derek as it's part of her job and she's a professional, but she has no plans of snatching him away from Angelica Panganiban. It was when she was asked about her episode in MMK being scheduled up against her sister Claudine Barretto's drama show on GMA-7 that she was annoyed. She said she has no control over it as she's just a talent of ABS. "Magkapatid kami at hindi kami dapat pinag-aaway," she said then left. "Ayoko na."

This is the second time she staged a walkout. We remember she once walked out of an ABS show last year when she was asked by Toni Gonzaga about her fight then with Nadia Montenegro that she didn't want to talk about.
