ShareThisHow true is the story that Kris Aquino and Diether Ocampo are now playing beautiful music together?
It seems that their being paired in “Dalaw” made them closer to each other and they are said to be still dating each other even if the movie has long been shown, according to showbiz columnist Mario Bautista.

The columnist reported that when Kris had a freak accident in Cebu recently and she badly hurt her knee, Diet was one of those who quickly sympathized with her.
This shows that previous rumors linking Kris to Makati Mayor Junjun Binay and ABS-CBN television and radio host Ted Failon are mere diversionary tactics, he added.
“She really has her eye on the much handsomer and hunkier Diet,” he said.
“If you’d consider her track record in men from Phillip Salvador, Joey Marquez and James Yap, talagang macho men ang mas kinalolokohan ni Kris,” the columnist reported, quoting a showbiz observer.
Kris celebrated her 40th birthday last February 14 at her condo with brother, President Benigno Aquino III, sisters and close friends in showbiz, business and politics and relatives.
Reports from the birthday celebration showed that among those who greeted her were Mayor Binay and her husband James Yap who gave her a golden bracelet as his gift with their son James Jr.
On Twitter, Kris said she was “touched by the gesture” of James.
“He + bimby bought me a lovely bracelet w/ a heartwarming card. Josh & Bimby loved riding in James’ car. I rode in my own to give them time together,” Kris said.
She said her birthday wish was for she and James to have legal freedom. She said: “I want freedom (annulment of marriage to cager James Yap). Gusto ko na legally matapos na para maging malaya na kami ni James (at) makahanap ng kaligayahan na hindi namin nabigay sa isa’t isa.”
James himself celebrated his birthday on February 15.
On Twitter, she said: “By the way, I’m allowed a wish right? I wish James & I the legal freedom to be able to love again & share w/ new lifelong partners the love we failed to sustain between us. Bimby gave him a red BB Torch & I gave him 2 Bruno Mars VIP tickets for him & his date for April 8. Happy birthday to him on Feb 15,” the actress added.
Her brother, President Aquino, also made known his wish for sister Kris – a life free of problems.
The President said he noticed that Kris looked happy during her advance birthday celebration on February 13.
“Alam ninyo magkasama kami noong isang araw, meron siyang birthday celebration. Parang napakagaan ng dating niya, napakasaya niya. Siyempre, sabi ko sa kanya, ipinagdarasal ko na sana tuloy tuloy ang kagaanan ng loob mo, parang absence of problems di ba, tsaka ‘yong talagang pagiging masaya,” President Aquino said.
A day earlier, Kris conducted a free medical and dental mission in Tarlac where she is reportedly preparing for the 2013 elections to become the governor of the province which her late father, Sen. Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. and her grandfather had served also as governor.
Kris denied that the medical mission was already part of her preparations for the elections, saying it is her birthday gift to the people of Tarlac who have been very supportive of her family.
Kris will also conduct another medical mission in Leyte and in Batangas with Gov. Vilma Santos Recto.
Kris said she may join politics, but only after the term of President Aquino in 2016.
Kris has a new game show on ABS-CBN. It is “The Price is Right” which premiered last week.
Kris said major prizes such as brand new car, a condominium unit and P1 million would
She added: “Alam ko kung gaano kamahal ang binayad ng ABS-CBN para mabili ang ‘The Price is Right’ and alam ko rin na ngayon pa lang ang laki-laki na ng ginastos para pagandahin ‘yong set kasi maraming hydraulics and madaming wini-wheel in so it’s really such a complicated set-up and I’m really really excited to be doing it.”
