Richest Congressman in the Philippines 2011 List: Manny Pacquiao is #1, Gloria Arroyo only ranks 17th

The richest Congressman in the Philippines is no other than Saranggani Representative Manny Pacquiao. Naman!

Even if you don't make computations, just thinking of the many times Manny Pacquiao won billions during his fights inside the boxing ring, you can already say that Pacquiao is indeed the richest congressman in the Philippines, and is definitely among the super rich Filipinos.

According to Manny Pacquiao's statement of assets, liabilities and net worth from the House of Representatives, this world boxing champion is worth P1.134 billion as of Dec. 31, 2010 making him as the richest and the only one with a billion net worth among the 284 congressmen in the Philippines.

And take note, Manny has no liability, not a single peso. (Share your blessings Manny!)

Surprisingly, former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo who now sits as Pampanga Rep. is only the 17th richest representative with net worth of P140.212 million and Leyte Rep. Lucy Torres-Gomez is even richer than her.

Sen. Bong Revilla's wife and actress, Cavite Rep. Lani Mercado is the 21st wealthiest representative.

Talentadong Pinoy 2011 Grand Finals: Who will be the Grand Winner or theUltimate Talentado?

Talentadong Pinoy 2011 grand winner will be revealed tonight, March 13 7PM, live at the Ynares Center Antipolo.


Who do you think will be the next Ultimate Talentado of Talentadong Pinoy?

I was able to watch the performances of the 9 Hall of Famers (Battle of the Champions) last night on TV5 and I was impressed. Breathtaking performances!

It's kinda hard to predict the winner but my Top 4 (in no particular order) are contestants #4 Sfazhiva of Caloocan City, #9 Zion Show of Laguna, #7 The Believers of Muntinlupa City and #2 Beatbox Gor of Davao.

The other grand finalists are: #1 Fire Attraction of Cebu, #3 Joseph The Artist of Laguna, #5 RR Friends of Cavite, #6 New Born Divas of Quezon City and #8 Belinda Adora's Stepkids of Antipolo, Rizal.

They're all deserving though to be called as Ultimate Talentado.

That's why the judges last night were all praises and were saying the same thing to each of the finalist. (Nag-judge pa sila?)

The judges included Richard Gomez and wife Lucy Torres, Ruffa Gutierrez and mom Annabelle Rama, Alice Dixson, Lani Misalucha, Tuesday Vargas, Audie Gemora and Joey De Leon.

Tune in tonight at 7PM for the announcement of the grand winner of Talentadong Pinoy 2011, which will be based on who got the highest number of text votes.

If you haven't voted yet, just text TP and send it to 2929.

Tonight will also be the Celebrity Edition, a talent showdown of 4 celebrity contestants such as Regine Tolentino, Valeen Montenegro, Ciara Sotto and Rosanna Roces.

Lucy Torres shows her curves for Women's Health, January to February 2011 issue

Lucy Torres-Gomez, TV host and Leyte congresswoman, returns on the cover of Women's Health (Philippines) this January to February, 2011.

Lucy's first time to pose for Women's Health was in June 2009 and now she's back on the mag's cover, but this time, she's now a congresswoman.

Noticed that her 2011 cover for Women's Health is like a cover for Cosmopolitan magazine.

Maybe it's because of the fact that Miss Lucy is a congresswoman and she still has to look regal and glamorous, even if she's posing for a health & fitness mag.

Even her husband, Richard Gomez, is also properly dressed up on Men's Health Philippines, also out this January 2011:
