There is no way I can create enough space in this blog to do justice to the life and acting career of Ruffa, who epitomizes the plight of all Filipina actresses. The bastard daughter (please confirm this) of two actors, she started out early in show biz. Working up the ranks of That’s Entertainment, she co-starred in dozens (maybe hundreds) of films and has played lead roles opposite many in so-called “love teams”. She has played Darna (I think) and the Hayop in “Ang Pinakamagandang Hayop sa Balat nang Lupa”.
She has joined beauty pageants and has had some significant success. She has gone to the United States seeking solitude from her fans, and, perhaps, looking for a break in Hollywood. She tried to learn how to sing and dance, like most Filipina actresses would. And she’s been “linked” to boyfriends of unknown origins, where rumor has it that her “showbiz mama” was pimping her to rich bachelors across the globe.
But what makes her queen are the controversies she’s managed to get herself into and out of. Starting with allegations that she was a “Brunei-yuki” (a word coined by Filipino journalists), where, it was alleged in Senate hearings shown in national television, that she is or was paid, er, for sexually gratifying entertainment by certain royalty in Brunei. Ruffa, of course, denied any wrongdoing, saying that she does go to Brunei, but only to do shopping. Right, on an actresses salary. (I *did* hear that the Duty Free Shopping there is to die for.)
Anyway, the OTHER controversy was her involvement in what I like calling the “Take It Take It” scam. The PDI writes: “During the awarding nights in the 1994 film festival, Gutierrez, one of the presenters of the best actor award, announced the name of Gabby Concepcion as winner, when the name of another actor, Edu Manzano, was written on the certificate prepared by the accounting firm SyCip Gorres and Velayo. Ruffa’s brother Rocky announced Ruffa’s name as the winner in the best actress category, when Aiko Melendez had been picked to receive the trophy.”
She said: “Take it! Take it!”, did she not? I could be wrong, that might have been someone else.
Of course, there were the nude pictures of her, drunk and bombed out of her wits. Unfortunately, I don’t have a link to that. (Btw, if you search for Ruffa in Google, you will see that she’s filed under Donita Rose, the OTHER nude, drunk and bombed out girl in the picture.)
Needless to say, Ruffa got married last week, and, true to form, she announced later in her ceremony that she was four months pregnant. Poor Anabelle Rama, not only did she not like the groom, but she’s probably heart-broken that her daughter didn’t properly fit her white gown. She’s, god forbid, losing weight over the entire fiasco.
P.S. Even her reception was not free from controversy. Kris Aquino (Game na ba kayo?) skipped the whole affair for fear that she could get clawed by Alma Moreno, who is bitter over her husband’s (incorrigible womanizer and Paranaque Mayor Joey Marquez) affair with the former First Daughter.
P.P.S. Did she ever get a nose job? That would certainly seal it.
