Former Presidential Sweetheart Shalani Soledad-Romulo

Well of course, we all know Miss Shalani Soledad as a former sweetheart of incumbent (until 2016) Philippine president Noynoy Aquino.

Rumor-mongers on her relationship with the president were too active in November 2010, so much so that Shalani (a.k.a. ate Sha and Lani) was the second (2nd) most searched internet personality in the Philippines, next to former Kate Middleton, (Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge).

We may speculate on what caused their breakup; since it appears that Noynoy has developed a habit against marriage. Remember her much publicized romance (then split with celebrity news reporter Grace Lee?). Seems he enjoys the bachelor life way too much.

But be that enough. Let's focus on Miss Soledad (now Mrs. Romulo), who - in photo below - was on the cover of Preview magazine.

Shalani is currently running for the 2013 elections as House representative of the 2nd district of Valenzuela (a city in nothern Metro Manila) under the administration coalition. She has served as councilor for said district since 2004. Since February 2011, she served as the National Secretary General of the Philippine Councilors League.

She is a seasoned local politician, having politics in her genes and former senator and former Majority Leader Francisco "Kit" Tatad as uncle.

From 2003 to 2006, she was a news reporter for UNTV, where she met then Tarlac congressman (now president) Noynoy Aquino when she covered the 2005 State of the Nation Address (SONA). She became his girlfriend from 2008 to October 2010.

After the much publicized breakup, she hosted various game shows with controversial actor (rumored to be a playboy) Willie Revillame. The shows include Willing Wille, Wil Time Bigtime and Game 'n Go.

In January 2012, she married Pasig City congressman Roman Romulo (son of former Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto Romulo). Thus ending the dreams of spin doctors of projecting the country as the new Camelot with Shalani and Noynoy as Guinevere and King Arthur.

Here are some of their wedding photos.

Miss Buko Girl Janica Buhain

Filipina amateur model and blogger Janica Buhain is now making waves in the internet as the "Buko Girl" in the music video Gayuma by Abra. Last month, she was a guest of equally stunning model Karen Bordador (a.k.a. Teacher K) at Flippish.com.

I really find her lovely, especially those sharp piercing eyes (not to mention her voluptuous body!). It is no wonder that the music video that had her in it went viral.

Miss Janica Buhain ("Buko Girl") is another living proof that beautiful and luscious Filipinas could be found among non-showbiz circles.

She has her own Facebook and Twitter (@dianejanica) account. I suggest you go add her up for daily updates about her. You may even find yourself becoming one of her legions of stalkers! I promise you can't get enough of Janica. Hahaha. And wait, she's also a blogger! Here is the address.
