During press presentation held at the Novotel Manila Araneta Center in Cubao, Quezon City on October 9, POP NEWS PHILIPPINES asked some of the candidates a fun question: "Which one would you choose, the Queen of Quezon City crown or P1 billion lottery jackpot?" Check out who made the wise (or right) decision. - ROBERT REQUINTINA

"Siguro po yung korona na lang ng Queen of Quezon City kasi po gastadora po ako. Baka mabilis kong maubos yun. Madalas nga P10,000 isang gabi madalas kong maubos. Gusto ko pong maging impluwensiya at para magkaroon ang tao ng awareness sa LGBT members."
"To be honest, my God, P1 billion na lang! Kasi feeling ko mas marami akong matutulungan dun eh. Ang daming pera nun! Aside from that, hindi ko naman kailangan ng title para makatulong. All you need is a kind heart!"

"For me, P1 billion jackpot na lang kasi I can buy a lot of crowns with that money! hahahahaha! Masasabi ko rin naman na beauty queen ako kahit walang crown kasi maganda akong ehemplo at inspirasyon sa mga kabataan. Kaya in my on way, I am a queen kahit na walang korona."

"I will take korona ng Queen of Quezon City kasi through this platform, masasabi ko ang saloobin naming mga transgender. At saka para ma-spread 'yung awareness naming mga trans. Hindi lang po para sa akin kundi sa kabutihan na rin ng LGBT community."

"I would like to be practical. I will choose the P1 billion. However, with the crown, I would be able to touch many lives, inspire others, and influence many people. Winning the crown is almost winning the P1 billion lotto jackpot."

"Pwedeng both? hahahahaha! Long term kasi ang effect ng Queen of Quezon City. So I will choose the crown of Queen of Quezon City kasi mas marami akong matutulungan kesa sa P1 billion. Yung P1 billion kasi material thing lang yan. Nawawala siya. Pagmakoronahan ka na Queen of Quezon City for life na yan. Magiging legacy mo na yan! You can also be a voice to the members of the LGBT community.''
"Oh my God! I will pick P1 billion because I want to have my foundation and I want to push my advocacy which is to protect the children."

"Of course I will choose the crown of the Queen of Quezon City because it's very priceless. The title is lifetime for me.''

Kapamilya star Diego Loyzaga has admitted that he is reaching out to his father chief operating officer of Tourism Promotions Board Cesar Montano but he doesn't know if his dad knew that he was making the move. "Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont

Megastar Sharon Cuneta has complained about the construction of her neighbor's condominium unit, saying that it brought stress to her family. "Construction in my upstairs neighbor’s condo is driving us nuts! It’s been about a year na," said Cuneta on Facebook. Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding. It’s just that we have been told over and over for about a year already that it would take “just one more month or two na la
