FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 2013 3NEWSEnrile: Masyado na akong matandaMY GOD! I am tooold for that.

Si Jessica “Gigi”Reyes ay kanang ka-may, mata at tenga niSenate President JuanPonce Enrile at hindiniya kasintahan.

Pinabulaanan ka-hapon ni Enrile angpatutsada ni Sen.Alan Peter Cayetanotungkol sa hindipangkaraniwang im-pluwensiya ni Reyes

bilang chief of staffng Senate President.

“I leave my thingsto her and nothingwill happen. I havepoor (eye)sight be-cause I am sufferingfrom macular degen-eration and because ofthe details that comeinto my office, she isthe one doing thisreading for me,” sin-abi ni Enrile sa pro-gramang Unang Hirit.

“So, if they are im-plying that she is mygirlfriend, well, I amtoo old for that. MyGod!” aniya kay Win-nie Monsod.

Sinabi ni Enrile, namagiging 89 taong gu-lang sa Valentine’s Day,maaring hindi siyamukhang matandangunit hindi na siyakasing sigla noong ba-ta pa siya, lalo na“from the waist down.”

“Mr. Senator, areyou willing to be test-ed for erectile dysfunc-tion?” ani Monsod.

“Yes, yes. I’m tooold for that, Winnie,”sagot ni Enrile.

Itinanggi ni Enrileang alegasyon na siReyes, 50, ay kumiki-los na tila senador samga pagtitipon ngmga mambatas.

“That is not true,”wika niya. NB

Ping: Lahat kami talonothing” kapag maymasamang imahe.

Hinayag niya itoisang araw makaraangmagkapalitan ngparatang sina Enrile atSenate Minority Lead-er Alan Peter Cayetanosa isang mainit napagtatalo sa Senadonoong Miyerkules.

“The Senate is theloser. Nobody is thewinner. Hopefullysomebody will winwhen the logical con-clusion is reached andthat should be the Fil-ipino people,” aniya.

Sinabi ni Lacson nadapat maghanda angmga senador sa isang“no-holds-barred” napagsusuri sa pana-nalapi upang maibalikang tiwala at kumpi-yansa ng publiko saantas bago pumutokang kontrobersya.

Panfilo “Ping”Lacson sa gitna ng kontrobersya ngpaggamit sa milyon-pisong sobrangpondo ng Senado bilang “gifts” at“bonuses” bago nag-Pasko para sadalawang pangkat ng mgasenador—ang mga pinaboran ni Sen-ate President Juan Ponce Enrile at angmga hindi.

Upang masagip angimahe ng kapulungan,nanawagan si Lacsonng isang “no-holds-barred” na pagsusuri sapananalapi ng Senado.

PEPE PIMENTEL; 82

TV game show icon getsboxes full of praise

shared hosting chores with Pi-mentel in another iconic showStudent Canteen from 1966 to1965, agreed: “In spite of hisbiyenan digs, Pepe loved hismother-in-law deeply. We salutehim.”

Another TV host, Amy Perezsaid “I owe what I know as ahost to Tito Pepe. He taught meeverything I should know to beeffective.”

Stand-up comedian Jon San-tos said Pimentel was his “firstboss” on the noontime showTayo’y Magsaya, which was co-hosted by another respectedveteran, Sylvia La Torre. “I wasan assistant on the show then.Tito Pepe showed incrediblemastery of the Pinoy gameshow. He knew its ins andouts,” Santos recalled.

Comedian Willie Nepomu-

ceno remembered Pimentel asan outspoken mentor. “If youare aspiring to be a performer,get ready to get a lecture fromhim on the proper conduct ofan entertainer. He would oftenunleash a mouthful because hetook great pride in his job.”

“He also took an activist’sstand on public issues and wasa true public servant,” Roaadded.

Batangas governor andaward-winning actress VilmaSantos said Pimentel “left anenduring mark in the local en-tertainment industry. He intro-duced game shows on localtelevision. He was a pioneer.”

GMA 7 chair and chief execu-tive officer Felipe L. Gozon re-membered the late host “as agreat comedian and singer ofSpanish songs,” while singer Ce-leste Legaspi remembered his“beautiful baritone voice. I lovedhis rendition of Granada.”

Nepomuceno pointed out an-other accomplishment: “He wasthe first grand national champi-on of Tawag ng Tangahalan (anamateur singing contest popularin the 1960s). He was a true-blue entertainer.”

“I can smell talent a mileaway and when I met him, Iknew he was good,” said anoth-er popular TV host of the peri-od, Eddie Ilarde of Student Can-teen fame.

Ilarde recalled meeting Pi-mentel for the first time in1954, when Student Canteen,originally a radio show on dzXL,was about to break into TV.

“Pepe was a comedian’s co-median,” said Ilarde, also a for-mer senator. “He’s one of thefew people who could make melaugh. He’s a clown, a mimic,one of the best, really. I justdon’t know whether he studiedhis craft. He was dedicated andhardworking; never a day didhe came late for work.”

T O GO by his trademark punch line, his mother-in-law must be having the last laugh.

like jackpot prizes from a box aspeers in show biz rememberedthe good times with game showhost Pepe Pimentel, who died athis Quezon City home Thursdaymorning.

Jose Antonio Pimentel was82.

The veteran comic, champi-on singer, and community lead-er is best remembered for mak-ing Kwarta o Kahon a pioneer-ing concept in Philippine televi-sion, where contestants get tochose between a cash prize andwhat’s inside a sealedbox—which may be a biggerprize or a mere piece of egg-plant, a can of sardines andother tokens for the unlucky.

Supt. Marcelino Pedrozo Jr.of the Quezon City Police Dis-trict’s Kamuning station said Pi-mentel was found dead with awound at the back of his headinside the bathroom of hishouse on Scout Tuazon Street inBarangay Laging Handa around10:30 a.m.

Pimentel’s nephew JessieSantos said his uncle, who wasnot suffering from any seriousillness, apparently slipped andhit his head on the floor.

Pimentel earlier spent Thurs-day morning walking aroundthe neighborhood in BarangayLaging Handa, where he waselected chair in 1997 and heldthe post for 10 years. Neighborswould often see him sweepingthe sidewalk himself or riddingthe streets of election campaignposters that end up as eyesores.

“It was his usual custom towalk around the neighborhoodin the morning,” Santos told re-porters. “My uncle was a goodman. He was able to help many

of our relatives in their studies.”Aside from hosting Kwarta,

which ran from the 1970s to2000, Pimentel is also knownfor his “biyenan” jokes—eventhough colleagues say he reallyadores his real-life biyenan off-screen.

Encar Benedicto-Ordoñez, Pi-mentel’s cohost for 11 years,said “I will miss his punch linesabout his biyenan. He would of-ten show us a photo of a mon-key or an orang-utang and jokethat it’s his mother-in-law’s por-trait. In reality, he cared for hiswife’s mom.”
