Martin Nievera adds another chapter to the protracted word war with former wife Pops Fernandez. His interview with ABS-CBN’s “The Buzz” on Sunday however shows something new–tears rolling down his cheeks as he wishes the best for his wife as he seeks an end to the controversy.
The mere fact that the interview is granted shows Martin isn’t really planning to end the word war. In fact he made a previous statement saying the “best reaction is no reaction.” Well, he shows he isn’t true to his word. But let us assume however that he read the entire YES! Magazine article on Pops’ revelations about their separation nine years ago, despite his claim that he only read portions of it. Maybe then we can understand how this outburst of emotion emanates.
He cried saying these words:
“I don’t even know why we’ve gotten this far with this problem. I don’t know why we can’t seem to fix this. So to Pops, I don’t know what to say. Just try to forget about the nine years. I think she’s having a hard time also moving on. I know what I did to you was unforgivable but it’s kinda a long time ago so I’m hoping for the sake of everybody especially our children that you’ll forgive me for that. I know forgetting is a tall order. I don’t know why. Just take it easy and breathe. Enjoy life and all the blessings around you. I’m there somewhere. I’m rooting for you. I’m praying for you. I don’t want to say anymore I love you because everyone knows I do. Maybe I say it too much. Maybe I didn’t say it enough before. Whenever you need me I’m there. I’m not that show biz person who pretends to disappear then come back. I’m not leaving. You can’t get rid of me. I’m there for you if you need me.”
End of story? Hardly.

In another startling confession, young star Patrick Garcia goes on air for the first time admitting illegal drug use earlier in his life but has gotten over it. Hopefully.
Asked by Showbiz Central if he would “seal or reveal” a killer question the show presented to him, Patrick chose to reveal the truth. The “killer question”? Did he ever use illegal drugs? He answered without hesitation:
“Depende kung anong klaseng droga. I’ve tried marijuana. It was a long, long time ago. It comes with teenage (curiosity). But of course with the guidance of my…you know, my sister’s there, my brother’s there, and my dad and mom. Kumbaga, I’ve lot of good things around me. So basically, I haven’t gone through any problems because it was nothing. It was being a teenager. Now I’m a better person.”
Has Patrick indeed become “better”? Only family or colleagues can attest. But his willingness to open up about something bad in his past is definitely an improvement.

Why did Martin not address the fact that Pops has revealed that Martin was not financially supporting Ram and Robin? Because that fact is true. To say that “I’ll always be there..” is so sickening to hear. He is so full of himself. He knows that he is a ‘has been’ but he just cant and won’t accept it. He now plays at small gyms and senior citizen centers in the US. If that’s not a sign of being laos, I don’t know what is.

Martin was the one who “cheated” on Pops 9 years ago, and he couldn’t take the “hurt” out of Pops no matter what he
does. He added to her pain by having a son with Ojeda. And Ojeda shouldn’t even pretend that she cares about Pops and Martin’s kids. That’s the ultimate insult to Pops. So, Martin, shut up!!!
Star
Oh, Mart; not again! As I watched the Buzz, I could not help but wonder why you agreed to talk about the whole brouhaha again. Maybe, you felt you needed to clear a few things or maybe you can’t seem to get out of the spotlight. Whatever your intentions were, the whole interview did not achieve your purpose. Worse still, you passed off pretty badly.
For one, (I may have interpreted this wrongly) but why was your biggest regret the impending dissolution of your ON-stage team-up with Pops. Shouldn’t your biggest regret by the dissolution of your OFF-stage team-up with your wife?
Secondly, I strongly suggest that you do not mention Katrina in your interviews anymore. I know that she is a big part of your life right now, but given Pop’s interview, she kinda rubs the viewers the wrong way. Dragging her into this mess by mentioning / defending her in your interviews just opens her up more to ridicule.
Lastly, no one will ever know who much or how little you love Pops but I must think that you do care for her a whole lot. But your pronouncements of love for her should be told to her directly, personally and privately. That way, it does not appear staged or insincere.
Keep your chin up, though. As I said before, no one can put a good talent down; no one can put a singer of your caliber down.
Just take time off to analyze your priorities and be very careful of what you say to the press. As it has been said “Go placidly amidst the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be, in silence”.
Take care, my friend.

I’m not a showbiz fanatic, but just want to comment regarding the Martin & Pops word war. For me my heart bleeds for Pops, having a failed marriage is such a hard thing to cope up. But the thing that I don’t understand is why does she have to spill out what transpired 9 years ago, when in fact both of them are leaving seperate lives already. I hate Martin for being a womanizer but half of my heart understands the pain Martin is feeling right now. I think both of them should end this because it ruins their reputation and if I may ask what’s the point of saying this things now? Would it do them good? Would they reconcile or what??? God Bless and more power to you………

i just want to comment about martin and pops issue…the problem will not be resolve if both of them will keep on talking to the media. Its a personal thing so both of them will have to talk and 1 should make the first move coz this issue will become bigger and bigger coz alot of people want to “SAW-SAW” regarding this matter…

Nine years ago I’ve watched on Nat’l TV Martin and Pops trying to dispel the rumor regarding their marital problem. The public witnessed how Pops cried and as a wife myself it was so heartbreaking, watching the two of them, (they were denying the rumor, it was on channel 2, not sure if it was Martin’s show), Pops misery was so evident and at one point during the show/interview Pops turned to Martin obviously for comfort and what did the LOUD MOUTH did? Nothing! Nada! he just sat there just looking at Pops, it was so painful watching Martin seemingly oblivious to what Pops was feeling, the least He could have done was to hold on to Pops hand, kahit sana pakitang tao lang. Up to now every time I would read or learn of celebrity couples breaking up, that incident automatically surface, I am just a viewer, I never even like Pops, but that image of the two of them; Pops visibly miserable and Martin’s stoic expression still lingers in my mind. So how can anyone specially Martin expect Pops to forget?
Betrayal is betrayal is betrayal is betrayal ….. kahit na ano pang sabihin. It is accepted and a fact that people falls in and out of love, even married couples. Telling a spouse you’ve fallen out of love is definitely not an easy thing to do, but with Martin … being the loud mouth that he is and his image of being too outspoken … it would have been a walk in the park with him to tell Pops that he want’s out, it would have been the most decent thing to do, but instead He humiliated Pops even more when he penned a song specially for her paramour.
Martin should also stop saying “for the sake of their children” Men should know that to show how much they care and love their children, is to love and respect their Mother.
Maybe now that Pops has finally let go off her demons she can finally be at peace.
For Pops; You don’t deserve Martin and Martin does not deserve You.

this story is just starting. expect other reporters to go to the other side and ask for her comments. this is going to be a never ending circus. people in the showbiz world is having a field day!!! ratings are shooting up, whoppeee!!!!
advice to both, shut your mouths… only this sad story will end…
wake up, guys!!!
teena koska
This is a very personal matter that only the 2 of them can settle. Going to the media won’t help and everyone is feasting on the “too much” information supplied by both parties.
Pops’s a classy lady but should have just kept quiet for the sake of the kids besides she’s already have a BF who loves her. It’s been 9 years and it’s time for both parties to move on and stop all the accusations whoever’s fault it is.
And to the people who are judging these 2 human beings - please stop your nasty judgments. I bet some of you are very religious people - this is the time to apply such christian traits, DON’T JUDGE AND BE NICE TO OTHERS.
God bless you all.

Adultery is the evil spirit that destroyed their marriage. Let us pray for all married people to be strong enough to resist the temptation. For those who failed and betrayed their spouse, ask forgiveness from God, from your spouse and from yourself. For those who were betrayed, hang on to Jesus. He will be with you always. He will never leave you nor forsake you. For the other woman or man who caused the break-up of the marriage, ask forgiveness from God, from yourself. For the single people, if you are happily single, stay single.

to be cheated on is unfathomable. so i guess, pops will never forget about it for the rest of her life. no matter how sorry martin would ever be what he did ages ago will always linger on pops mind. i guess martin should accept that, that is the price he has to pay for being unfaithful. so better yet not to react or stop reacting.
aj
common Martin you are a losser,you dont care about Pops you only care about yourself.
Francis
Martin if you are going to analyze Pops sentiments, the roots of all of this brouhaha is the “monkey” issue. Your relationship to Katrina has long been accepted by Pops but because Katrina was too confident in her situation right now being your wife, thus say those “words” that any mother can’t tolerate regardless on how it was said and interpreted. I would also react if I am in Pop’s position and maybe I could had confronted her right away and not Martin. Katrina doesn’t have any right to lambast anyone of Martin and Pops children for “delicadesa” if she is has good breeding. I symphatized with Pops if ever she opened up some of her private life with martin before because Martin failed Pop’s expectations. Supposedly, it is martin who should be protecting their kids but I don’t know why he didn’t do anything to depend them. Was it becasue he ’s afraid of Katrina? If ever this is the reason, I am sorry to say but I guess, Martin and Katrina will not go a long way in theri relationships. martin will soon find out the “real katrina”. I am not in showbiz but if I am a “katrina” maybe to say bad words jokingly or not will never come out of my mouth out of respect to the man I am with. You really cannot judge a book by its cover, but give Martin weeks, months or years and I am sure “katrina” is just like any other woman who falls into it’s category as the “kabit” . If I am not attracted to her physically, and so thus my respect for her being a “hypocrite”. And to you martin, I hope this offense will give you lesson on proper parenting.

martin you are a disgrace to the Filipino male . Your infidelity must not be flaunted, its sucks.

Martin is only concerned of his career, that is why he can still stomach mouthing out words like “I love Pops, she knows that”, he needs people’s sympathy. He knows that if he keeps on tossing those lines casually each time he appears on TV, people will eventually believe that it is Pops who has the problem after all and not Martin who caused it.
You see, even how good Martin is as a singer, people identify him with Pops. So when he left Pops for Katrina, Martin’s career took a nosedive.
Martin won Katrina and lost Pops, so he should not cry if he lost his career in the process, he is happy in his personal life anyway. That’s just the price he has to pay.
Ang lagay e, he wants his cake and eat it too? Sorry…he ran out of luck this time. Work harder on your acting Marty!

Martin, your kids needs financial support! Sana isipin mo na lang yung obligasyon mo bilang ama. Alam mo kung anong reasons ng lahat ng ito hindi mo na kasi ne rerespesto ang nanay ng mga anak mo masyado mo ng tinatapakan ang pagkatao ni POPS porke ba na accept na ni pops ang anak mo kay katrina di mo na iniisip kung anong nararamdaman ng isang tao ang nararamdaman nung nasa paligid na baka may masasaktan puro na lang kasi sarili ang iniisip mo. Hindi ako kumbinsedo sa paiyak iyak mo sa tv para kang nag workshop na kulang sa akting wala ka naman luha nakakatawa parang pinipilit mo ang sarili mo, trying hard. Alam mo ba dahil sa interview mo bagsak ang rating ng “the buzz”. Kung ako sayo tigilan mo na ang kadramahan mo kumanta ka na lang. Ginamit mo lang si POpS dahil aminin mo man wala ka ng career palubog ka na. Siguro naman kung manggamit man ng tao si POPS hindi ang katulad mo. Nanghihinayang ka pala mawala ang loveteam nyo ni POPS e ikaw naman mismo ang sumira!!!
cancan
this is how i see it - Martin wasn’t physically attracted to Pops the way he is with K.O. Men in general give sooooooo much weight to physicality, sorry to say. His preference has always been with mestizas so when he had the chance to get out, he just did. He said he loves Pops as the mother of his sons. Nothing more. Pops has a concert. This is just business.

The first time i read the part where martin says he loves pops, and she knows how much… knowing he’s already got another woman… parang sobrang weird e di ba? why would he say that? I think there’s a deeper story behind all this? …martin’s side of story..w/c he does not want to divulge to the public??? Maybe he’s protecting pops and of course their children. all of pops testimonial may be true, but they were already a product of their conflicts even earlier in the relationship. martin reacted even if he does not want to, because of pressure from the side of the “other woman”. every man/woman has the right to be happy. Kung yung isa ay hindi na masaya, kahit anong pang sikap ang gawin nila para mabalik ang love, what’s the point of living together kung magkakasakitan lang kayo. what martin should have done is to admit it earlier. Pero pinilit din nyang ayusin kaya lalong gumulo ang situation nila ni pops. i’m not taking sides, im just thinking out loud coz there are still many unknowns in this story. let’s all keep an open mind.
kidlat
You are doomed. Mr. M ( Monkey). You are a cry baby. You never grow up. Take some responsibility MBM ( Mama’s Boy, Martin). Your mama wants to sue, too bad she likes to protect bad examples… real shame. Now, take this as a joke… laugh instead…. Breathe, have a life!
Cess
I admire Pops for her courage, I myself Im a victim of a womanizer husband. Me and my children have forgiven him on every episode of his insanity. Lately he left us in favor of another woman. This I can tell you Pops, rejoice for God have remove the thorn in your life. Sinners will be punished and Martin won’t be spared from the torments of hell. Take care
tiya pusit
To Khan, Francis, Ama, ray, Aj, jade and cerina - open up your eyes and broaden your minds..para kayong tulad ni Pops puro hinagpis and can’t let go of the pass!
Kudos to eddy, stingray and teena - you guys are rational of your views!!!
All blame may seemed to go Martin’s way but Pops should know how to protect the family as a whole especially the kids.
Usually, the Mom has the strenght to cope with it all which seemed not the case on Pops. What is the fuss of going to the media for all of this? Pops is now the same as Martin, losing her mind too!!!
bading
Mart, I know it hurts! but STOP CRYING OVER SPILLED MILK! Yo have done wrong and you must take the consequence of your action however painful the thought of non-forgiveness maybe. Magpakalalaki ka brader. Wag kang bading tulad ko! Shut up or shut up or shut up!
mitch
stop washing dirty linens on public

Martin, the biggest hypocrite that comes out of Philippine showbiz EVER…if you really love Pops you should leave your “new” family and marry Pops again. Stop this BS and you should clean up your mess you yourself created 9 years ago..

good for Pops to let it all out, than bearing the hurt inside throughout life, at least it lessen the load venting out those aches, then only she can move on her life now lightly and free, its like giving justice to herself, for being silent on those years thats unbearable to hold and to break her silence, that means she’s ready to move on, she loses respect to Martin for not defending d kids on Katrinas comment. Mother’s nature is always on the rescue, You can hurt her more Martin if you want,she dont care, but shes a lion to growl when it comes to her cubs.
TruBlue
You are so right JunPindot! He is washed out but he doesn’t seem to get it. I’m not into showbiz but paminsan-minsan would take a glimpse of what’s up in their gaya-gaya world!!!!!
Pinoy Entertainment media comes up with these exaggerated adages such as: Martin rocks the Las Vegas Strip or JC Crawford wows Europe/USA!!! First, Martin I believe is not even a popular item on the Las Vegas Strip, to the small Filipino community maybe, but to say he ROCKS the strip is a JOKE! Same with this Crawford guy, why would he come to the Philippines if he is such a hot item in Europe or USA, coz not a whole lot will watch him. He has to make a living somewhere, and being amboy, he is adored. Pinoys, wake up!!!
As someone mentioned, those tears are crocodiles alright. To be a REAL Superstar, compose your OWN SONGS and not COPY someone else’s like MOST Pinoy singers, and proclaim you are great!
It’s assissine at it’s best! Martin, get a life and don’t run around the bush not even admitting in broaddaylight you are an Igorot. Even if you are half, admit it freely. If not, you are in the same context as Robin Padilla. Hypocrites!!!!

Some celebrities want their private lives talked about by the public. Some don’t.
Many of them won’t hesitate to create a scandal to make news, most especially to drumbeat a forthcoming project - a movie, a concert or a TV show.
Pops Fernandez, the Concert Queen of the ’80s, is staging a major concert at the Araneta on December. She hasn’t had any in quite a while - no TV show, no movie, no hometown concert. It’s a tall order for her to fill up the big dome.
So does anybody still wonder why she is digging up all these things only now?
I finally decided to tell all so that people understand where I’m coming from, said she. Really?
Carla
To women out there- be strong.
Don’t have an affair with a married man. No one wins.
Josie
Pops should be allowed to say what is in her heart no matter how long it has been since she split up with Martin. She is the aggrieved party after all. I find Martin to be too talkative for a man. He should know when to shut up. I am happy that Pops still attracts good looking guys. I’m sure she’s smarter in her choices now. Eat your heart out, Martin.
bebs
to pops and martin,stop airing your dirty laundry in public.whatever happened to the 2 of you…settle it among yourselves. i remember years ago when i went home to Pinas for a vacation, i happen to watch their show and was surprised to see how UNHAPPY AND MISERABLE pOPS LOOKED and would not even look at Martin when they sing or conversed and Martin was so CLUELESS HOW HIS WIFE WAS FEELING.MARTIN IS SO FULL OF HIMSELF…..to betray your wife is the Final Insult in a marriage….if you don’t want to be in a relationship with your wife just say….instead of having AFFAIRS.IF A WOMAN IS INTELLIGENT AND INDEPENDENT ENOUGH….there should be no problem of letting go.THERE IS NO POINT IN STAYING IN A MARRIAGE WHEN RESPECT AND LOVE IS GONE AND STEPS WERE TAKEN TO SAVE THE MARRIAGE…..everyone deserves to be happy.Staying together for the sake of the children no longer holds true if the kids can see that one parent is cheating and no longer care his or her spouse.That is why i greatly advocate for DIVORCE in the Phil….get rid of all these hypocrisies about staying in the marriage because we are a Catholic nation and thus couples should stay together no matter what.LIFE IS TOO SHORT ….DON’T BE A MARTYR……EVERYONE DESERVES TO BE HAPPY.
Jade, USA
For somebody coming from a dysfunctional and broken family, Martin sure followed the footsteps of his father. Pops has the right to expunge all her feelings about the break-up of their marriage. As to Ojeda, she doesn’t have any class, and she will also suffer Pop’s fate with Martin-her karma is BAD for
being the KABIT.

“washing soiled linens in public”. it is disgusting as it is.. but it gets the “job” for the supposed protagonists. PUBLICITY!! in showbusiness, negative publicity is the surest way to rake the money in. it makes the “fading luster of a dying star seem hotter,” to put it more nicely, these people have to go through this charade para “mapagusapan,” ultimately masking the real motivation which is to raise or enhance their marketability.
this is indeed a sorry culture in showbusiness. the actors/actresses, or people marketing their “talents,” for that matter, would deliberately expose themselves to indignities, slinging accusations against each other in nationwide TV, trying their darndest best to gain the sympathy of the viewers.
let us not forget that these people are learned in the craft of acting. they have mastered the subtle art of lifting people to unreality during a performance. this is a field where they excel, they get paid for it. so why should we even bother to analyze who “fell by the roadside” and who chose not to, in the case of martin and pops alone? these showbiz demizens are just playing people for fools. they are feeding on the people’s appetite for gossip. it is indeed a part still of entertainment.
ultimately, it is the people’s gullibility that has allowed the proliferation of showbiz talk shows. it makes me puke sometimes as these talk show hosts reek of insincerity, and the guests themselves have standard scripts of their own. i understand, it is all in the name business, and in the altar of profiteering these showbiz people do not care who or what gets to be sacrificed. even peace in the family gets bludgeoned, not only by the accusations of the parties, but also by the judgmental public mind.
why then should we take seriously these people who prefer the medium of nationwide TV to thresh out differences? don’t trust them but don’t judge them either. mind you, they do not merit a flicker movement of a brain cell.
Anita
The one thing I can’t forget about Martin, was when his father Bert left his mother for another woman. Boy, he was so mad at his father, and didn’t talk to him for a long time. I thought at that time, this boy is going to be a very faithful husband and a very good father. But look where he is now. Tsk,tsk, tsk.
barbs
In fairness, na-touch ako sa interview with Martin. Not that I condone what he did but this is a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve so it’s typical Martin to say those things. And I think he’s sincerely hurt. Of course, Pops is also hurt and has been for the past 9 years. I may be wrong but I think what brought this new-found hurt is that Martin has a new child with his other woman. Yeah, that did it. If I were someone whose husband left her for another woman, I think i can take it as long as he doesn’t have another kid with her. That brought another whole dimension into this thing. Siguro before may konting hope pa but now, as in wala na talaga dahil may pamilya nang iba. So it’s understandable for Pops to relive the hurt again and again and it won’t stop I guess until she’s finally over it. Obviously, she’s not. Martin just has to pay the price for his betrayal of his marriage vows.
Sorry, Martin, in the end, it’s all your fault. I sympathize with you. But yun nga, it all goes back to what you did 9 years ago.
Ms. Boston
Martin’s current wife think that she is prettier than pops. She called Pops kids a monkey, the question is who is the father of those kids? obviously her current husband, so in other words she is a mother of a baby monkey too, plus she belongs to the family of a chimps( sorry for that kid that his mother is a B????) shut up Martin..you selfish J?????You think you are going to be a Hollywood Superstar, so you decided to leave and divorce Pops, to enjoy the fame in Hollywood with your new B????? unfortunately it did not work. So your sorry ass is trying to get the sympathy of the viewer, fans are not stupid and dumb like you, we are smarter than you think…
Ivy
Sometimes, people just have to say something. Including Pops..Kahit wala na sila, it might be the closure she needed. Di ako maka-pops, in fact, mas gusto ko si Martin. Though nung meron ng issue with Katrina 9 years ago, I began disliking him as a person.
He is a well known married man. No excuse for what they did. Hindi naman tipong niloko si Katrina ni Martin at pinaniwala sha na binata sha eh. And for her to continue the affair, it was a decision she made. May kasalanan man si Pops, Martin should have ended his marriage with Pops bago makipagrelasyon sa iba, and Katrina should have waited for Martin to be a free man.
It was not weeks or months, they did it for 3 years, which means it was an everyday decision for them na lokohin si Pops. They did something wrong, and if Pops will reveal more, it is the price that they have to pay kahit 10 years ago pa to nangyari. If people will brand Katrina as “kabit,” she can’t do or say anything kasi totoo yun, even if Martin marries her. Nauna silang maging masaya habang may nasasaktang asawa si Martin. Kung nasasaktan sila ngayon, maybe it’s their turn to harvest what they have planted. I bet what they are going through now is not even comparable to how Pops suffered.
ms. taylor
to Martin and Pops…..JUST KEEP PRAYING…malulutas din yong problema ninyo…ALL THE BEST AND GOOD LUCK TO BOTH OF YOU!!!!!!!!GOD BLESS YOU AND THE CHILDREN
Rustlemania
Martin deserves to be happy so does Pops. But they can never be if Pops keeps on holding to the past. Martin was brave enough to admit his faults. Pops should forgive Martin by not talking about the past anymore. If she cannot forget, she does not have to tell the world about it. She can keep it in her heart and time will definitely heal her wounds. She cannot claim that she cannot move on because of that, because how many boyfriends did she has after Martin. She should not dwell on the past if she wants to move on and if only for the sake of their sons, who according to her she loves very much. Move on Pops. As Martin said life is beautiful for you. And to Martin, just go on. Do what you think is best for you and your family. Do not react anymore to anything that Pops will say. Martin, move on as what you are doing. You are still the best!
DI Bendano
Oh common, crying live on a television? I wonder how much did the network paid for such. Every teardrop cost just how much? Desperate ex-husband cried as a gesture of his sentiments to his desperate ex-wife’s predicament in today’s desperate times of their lives?
Nothing in this world is constant you know. Feelings and loyalty changes much of the time. We will just be fortunate that there may be someone for us throughout the “road of our lives”.
atlanta ga.
Hey guys lets not be judgemental to both of them we dont know the whole story, and besides this thing is a private matter and a family issue. Lets just pray to all of them and hope that their problem will settled for the sake of their children.God bless
Nicky
Why is everybody talking about this issue at all? I have a feeling that the people behind Pops is responsible for this gimmick. I kinda think this is pathetic. I am not a big Martin fan but I think to talk about an issue that happened nine years ago is just abdurd. Come on people, get a life. Pops should take ger Queue frim Sharon. At the height his break up with Gabby, Sharon never said a word about how bad Gabby is. Infact, to this day Sharon would rather discuss something else if asked about Gabby. After all she has nothing good to say about her ex-husband so why talk about it. That is breeding! Pops my advise is just do more practice on your singing. We all know na di naman kagandahan ang boses or shall I say ang pangit ng voice mo.
harmony
I sympathize with Pops as Martin had continously hurting & humiliating her and their children. Martin should shut up and stop saying that she love Pops. If you love her in the first place, you will not lie on her or cheat on her. the reason why Martin is so defensive bec. he wanted to save his career. He should be lucky that after 9 yrs,finally Pops revealed her inner feelings and the reason she talk this time is bec. Martin mistress provoke her to say the truth. Martin, whatever you say right now, the mere fact is that you committed the greatest sin…and that is adultery! You should have hang on to your family and be committed to your wife bec you signed a contract with her, but instead you cheated on her and continuously seeing katrina while being married to Pops. now you are mad bec of what Pops told the media….shame on you! the truth always prevail. Talent is not enough for you to be successful…We idolized our idol not only for their talent but also for their good moral character….you are almost like your father! see how many wives he has and i think he still have a pending case with the business he opened before….So please grow up! build up your moral values first…or just go back to the United States..as we have so many talented singers now that we don’t need someone like you here.

Martin you should be an actor instead of a singer….you are such a great actor….crying and saying those words will not erase the fact that you have committed the greatest sin…ADULTERY. yes,it is easy to tell Pops to move on…she has…in fact the reason she can talk about it now is bec she has move on..before she is not talking about it bec. i guess she still has some respect left for you…but what did she get in return…how many times you have to humiliate her and your children. how many times she had to suffer bec you can say and declare to the whole world your feelings for your mistress…you are hurt by what Pops had expressed but that is the truth…what about her…she is the injured party….does that mean she can’t express her inner feelings and thoughts and share what really transpired 9yrs ago? yeah its been a long time….and you are lucky she just talk now, if she had spoken 9yrs ago, do you think you still have a career right now? if you really want to stop this, you should be gentleman enough to just shut up! coz what Pops has revealed are all real events that had happened and you just don’t want the public to know the real YOU! shame on you! for saying you love Pops! what kind of love is that? selfish, conceited love.. If you really love her, you should not cheat on her. you should have love her, respect her and be faithful. In this world, talent is not the measure of one’s success….integrity, good moral character are far more important than whateve talent you got. You are very good in talking and hopefully someday aside from talking, you start building your character. look at Gary Valenciano, how he had inspired millions of fans not only through his music but through his actions as a good christian. Martin, being defensive is not the answer, we know the truth…maybe you should accept the truth and stop hurting those people that once care for you. Tell your mistress to know what she has done to Pops,ram & robin. Remember, you had hurt Pops several times, but not even once she say anything to defend herself, the only time she start to talk is when your mistress hurt her children..You should be fortunate to have Pops as your lst wife, she can destroy you long time ago…but instead she kept her silence and suffer quitely…for Katrina, don’t be proud of yourself, yes, martin chose you over his family…but someday meron din karma yan..what goes around comes around.

If I were Martin and Katrina, just keep quiet. If Pops is telling the truth, it does not change the fact that even if Martin loves Katrina more that Pops, what they did and do is still wrong. Katrina and Martin hooked up when Martin was still married to Pops. Martin should have filed for a legal separation first from Pops before he entered into relationship with Katrina. And you Katrina, it does not change the fact that you are a home wrecker, so please do not comment if there are any disagreement between Pops and Martin because you caused it.
Isn’t this fair Katrina?

forget about poise, forget about breeding,when it comes to my kids there’s no holding back , hindi na nga kaya ipag-tanggol ng ama nila , gusto pa ng iba manahimik na lang din si Pops, hindi nyo kasi anak,it’s too easy for u to say that.
napuno na lang din siya , ang tagal na ngang nanahimik noong tao, pero she was provoked to the max.
to Pops with or without concert, u did the right thing . Ram and Robin u should be very proud of your mom. I wish i could watch her concert , if not, how can i get a taped copy pls. ?

maybe its better if that phase of their marriage were left unsaid… after 9 yrs, she just let it out?… im not saying that what martin did is right but Pops is not the only person who experienced this things… there’s so many women out there who were in the same situation or maybe in worst… just like sharon, gabby even married another women here in Phils, had children, but she didn’t badmouth gabby…
after the revelation, what now? is she really happy? did she get justice? it just renew wounds that already heal.. or it never heal? what she says in the magazine only prooves that she’s still hurting.. pero mas madaming tao sa paligid nya ang mas nasasaktan.. si jomari at specially mga anak nya…
for martin just keep quiet… mali ung nagawa mo sa past, just try to correct your future… and for pops, move on and be happy…

Im not a fan, but I admired their talents, both are gifted with a wonderful voice. why not intertain/inspire us by your songs rather than exposing your dirty secrets in public for selfish reason….career!, there selfish deeds will harm the kids not them, besides both are pro with this dirty work in showbiz-niz, did they ever thought about it, before going in public? hmmmm…faithful or not, hurt or not, in the end the kids will suffer….My sympathy goes to Pops for going through all of this pain…….as for Martin and his mistress Katrina may God forgive your sins and be saved from Hell (adultery is one of the major sins) pray for your souls!
bygone to bygone…..move on!

MARTIN LALAKE KA BA!!! Anung klase?
Kasi walang ganyang lalake na mananakit ng babae tapos mamimilit patawarin.
Di ba ikaw din yong nagmamagaling dati kasi sumama and tatay mo sa babae nya at iniwan ang nanay mo? Eh IKAW DIN PALA!!!
So dapat pa bang paniwalaan ang mga pag mamagaling mo.
A truly repentant person does not ask sympaht in public. Siguro ultimo si Pops nakita nya HINDI SINCERE and pagsosorry mo- SHOWBIZ, kaya hindi ka nya mapatawad.

When trust is betrayed and from a person you expect the least to hurt you and betrayal was done right in front of your face and you were just too trusting to believe the person you cared so much can do such things to you, 9 years is not even enough to forget and forgive. We can always deny or hide these pains but it will always show up in one way or another. Lifting up to HIM our pains and hurts is THE only recourse. Nothing else.

huwag kang maniwala sa mga lumalabas na balita. Poro kuro koro lang iyon walang katotohanan. Puntahan mo na si jennylyn kausapin mo at kumustahin.
