Last Sunday, every one was talking about showbiz oriented talk show The Buzz when Ruffa Gutierrez just got up and left in the middle of her last episode for the show. The actress-host was apparently offended with her co-host Kris Aquino’s comments regarding her transfer to another network. It was obvious that Ruffa was affected when Kris said, “Ruffa aminin mo ibang level ang saya dito!” to which she replied, “Well, I know you don’t have to rub it in, Kris. Sad din, you know sana wag mo naman dagdagan.” After that gap, Ruffa did not return to the live show.

 

Ruffa’s mother Annabelle Rama, gave her statement regarding the matter on another entertainment talk show, even going as far as saying that if Kris’s brother, Sen. Noynoy Aquino, wins as president, the actress-host would certainly have a field day on the showbiz industry.

Kris finally released a statement about the incident late last night, saying she had no ill-intentions towards Ruffa, who has become a good friend since they started working on The Buzz. “I had dinner with Noynoy tonight after his TVC shoot. He told me di raw ba kami pwede na may quiet Sunday kami? And he asked why siya nadamay when he’s not even part of The Buzz. I would like to extend a loving hug to Ruffa. I viewed the tape and although I still feel I gave my comment with affection, maybe it made her feel even worse because she is now moving in a new direction. We had what I believed was a good working relationship in the almost two years we were together on The Buzz.

“I can also understand that Ruffa’s mom dislikes Noynoy and my family, maybe because of association and vocal proclamation of admiration for Dingdong (Dantes) and his selfless contribution to help Noy’s presidential bid. It is also with Ruffa that I enjoyed a healthy working relationship with and I only have good words to say about her.

“To Ruffa, I sincerely apologize for causing you hurt. My brother Noynoy would like to add that we live in a democracy—one where every one is free to make our own choice for president. This text came from my sister Pinky—tomorrow is Women’s Day. For your information, it was my mom who passed laws making this possible (Proc. No. 224 and 227, both signed in March 88) and RA 6949 (signed April 1990, declares Mrch 8 as National Women’s Day). We celebrate women who triumphed despite odds and need to look at ways to further improve. That’s why I want Ruffa to have a great career ahead of her—because she is a woman raising two beautiful daughters. And I champion all women who triumph despite the odds—just like my own mom.

“Noy told me in any election we’ll have our share of fervent supporters and harshest critics. And if you can’t take the heat then politics isn’t for you. As a woman and as Ruffa’s mom and the lola of Lorin and Venice, I respect you Tita Annabelle and on behalf of our family I apologize for the distress we caused yours. Hindi po ako mayabang, kaya ako nagpapakumbaba ngayon.

“On a last note, I promised Noy that if he does win and I’m a cause of stress for him and his presidency, I’ll gladly take my two boys and live anywhere there is TFC so that I can continue my work but with our overseas Filipino brothers and sisters. Of course, Noy said—dinner daw yun hindi teleserye ko. I love my family and I’m so grateful to have such a supportive and grounded brother and sisters who have learned to love me for all that I am. Thank you for your time and may God bless all of us with a peaceful week ahead.”
