23 Dec - Edu Manzano's son Luis is happy for him and Cherry Pie Picache's son Nio Tria is happy for her. So the question now is - what does Edu's ex-wife Vilma Santos think of her ex-husband's new romance with Cherry Pie?

That's what their son Luis tried to do in his latest YouTube vlog, as he asked the former actress and current House Deputy Speaker about the topic.

Vilma, who couldn't help but laugh at her son's question, stated that she has been receiving a lot of calls from people wanting to know her thoughts about it, adding, "I don't answer them. I don't want to be involved."

But when urged by Luis, she finally admitted that she is happy for the couple.

"What's important, I guess, is I can share that I am happy. I am happy. You know Eduardo, your dad, and Pie is a very close friend of mine. At this point in time in our lives, the most important thing is to have respect and love. So, I wish them all the best," she said.

Vilma and Edu were married for just two years before their annulment in 1982, a year after they welcomed Luis. Vilma had since tied the knot with politician Ralph Recto, while Edu married actress Maricel Soriano; a marriage that ended in 1991.

Cherry Pie and Edu confirmed their relationship back last month after they were seen acting chummy with each other during a dinner.

China's Xi is likely to decline Trump's inauguration invitation, seeing it as too risky to attend
Chinese leader Xi Jinping would likely see President-elect Donald Trump’s invitation to attend his inauguration as too risky to accept, and the gesture from Trump may have little bearing on the increasingly competitive ties between the two nations as the White House changes hands, experts say. Trump’s incoming press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, confirmed on Thursday that Trump extended an invitation to the Jan. 20 ceremony.

2 Vietnamese police officials sexually attacked young women on visit to New Zealand, authorities say
New Zealand authorities have “no doubt” that two Vietnamese officials sexually attacked two young female servers at a restaurant during a visit to the country, but were unable to charge the men before they returned to Vietnam, police said Thursday. Vietnam and New Zealand do not have an extradition treaty so the alleged attackers cannot be forced to face charges. One of the women said they were attacked at a restaurant in Wellington in March days before Vietnamese Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính was due to visit New Zealand.
