Martin cries on national TV, Patrick reveals drug use

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!!!

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...

its a crocodile tears......

Hi. Medyo maiba lang ako...have you seen the latest pics of Greta with another guy? Mukhang commercial shoot pero paparazzi ang dating ng mga pics...

GEEZ! Martin & Pops AGAIN??? these issues about them is driving me nuts for the past decade. and i mean DECADE?! ever get tired of it people?! GEEEEZZZ!

The Woman has an upcoming show... aren't your tickets fully sold?? ........ The man needs media mileage ... am here for you he says but she says you're NOT there for us responsibly aka finances ........ Rob Martin & if only Baby Santino can speak up tell your parents to shot up!

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!!!

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.

Here's to you and Katrina.... a monkey quote.... “An example from the monkey: the higher it climbs, the more you see of its behind” You monkeys... este Gorillas... joke only!

Desperate Husband, Desperate Singer on the verge on self destruction.

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.

common Martin you are a losser,you dont care about Pops you only care about yourself.

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.

manahahimik na lang sila pareho..ang ginagaling lang dito ung nagpapataasan ng ratings.....

To err is human, to forgive is divine! Move on, Pops!

Hay naku... Martin (d' GORILLA), pls SHUT UP!

who cares? please, let's not be fooled by these showbiz business people. they are only out to fleece us, to buy tickets, buy the magazines where their articles are printed. don't you see? bini-business lang kayo ng 2. wake up! move on to other impt. things in life....

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!!!

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.

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!

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

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!!!

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!

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..

showbisness talaga!!! no pity for this couple. that's part of the game. it is always the children that suffers. gimikan lang yan mga totoy mga neneng. kailangan maging kontrobersyal para mapagusapan.
dear little sisters don't shed no tears sabi nga ni bob marley.ang buhay parang life, one day, isang araw. i saw nakakita. meron ba kayong paul newman at joanne woodward na katangian. wala? magdusa kayo! wika nga ni gloria sevilla kay dina bonnevie. ayaw mong makinig sa mga magulang mo at nakatatanda sa iyo. magdusa ka, baby! iyun na lang iyon, okidoki!!!

infidelity is always difficult for the one who has been betrayed. . . but lafter a while, life must go on. . .we couldn't live forever wallowing on our pains. . .we simply have to learbn to live with it. . .boy abunda might be right. . .stop pretending you're friends because after all these years. . .this still may not be true. . .best of luck!!!

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.

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?

To women out there- be strong.
Don't have an affair with a married man. No one wins.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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

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!

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".
