Victor Basa, No match kay Willie Revillame na karibal kay Roxanne Guinoo

Nakaharap namin si Victor Basa sa presscon ng Star Magic's June birthday celebrators last Thursday.

Akala namin nu'ng una, wala man lang kaming mahuhugot na something controversial sa binatang ito na isa sa mga members ng Cover Boys.

But as we gon in our interview with him, nalaman naming best of friends sila ni Jake Cuenca na siyempre, ang common denominator nila ay si Roxanne Guinoo na ex ni "Palos" at ngayon ay nali-link naman kay Victor.

Sey ni Victor, "So far, friends lang kami (ni Roxanne)."

Nakakahiya raw kay Jake kung liligawan niya ang byuting bida ng Ligaw na Bulaklak. May tinatawag daw siyang "respeto" na puwede ring sabihing delikadesa. Ito ang reason kung bakit ayaw niya pang ligawan si Roxanne kahit alam naman ng lahat na hiwalay na ito kay Jake.

Kuwento ni Victor, present daw si Roxanne sa birthday celebration niya, pero nilinaw niyang... "As a friend, I invited her."

'Yun nga lang, nalaman naming wala si Jake sa party ni Victor dahil may ibang commitment kuno ito.

Nabalitaan rin namin minsan na type ni Papi Willie Revillame si Roxanne Guinoo. In fact, ito ang leading lady niya sa Mr. Housewife.

'Di ba natatakot si Victor Basa na makabangga si Papi?

Nag-smile lang si Victor at ang say nito..."All is fair naman in love and in war. At saka 'di ko naman nililigawan si Roxanne."

Aba, mukhang may takot ang binata kay Papi 'no?

At sa balitang magbubungee jumping kuno sina Papi at Roxanne, mensahe ni Victor, "Ingat sana!"

Sabi namin, "Kanino mag-iingat si Roxanne, kay Willie?"

Nilinaw kaagad ito ni Victor, "Sa pagba-bungee jumping siyempre. Baka madisgrasya!"

Aba, mukhang ingat na ingat talaga sa pagbibitaw ng salita si Victor, ha? Aba'y malaking pader ang kanyang makakabangga kung sakali. Iba si Papi 'pag na-in love.

Victor seen with Roxanne

victor_basa_07 Nabalita rin na kung may Bea Alonzo daw si Jake Cuenca, si Victor naman daw ang pumoporma kay Roxanne Guinoo ngayon. Hindi naman itinanggi ng model turned actor na crush niya si Roxanne, pero sa ngayon ay di siya nanliligaw sa aktres kahit pa nga minsan ay lumabas na sila.

"I like her, sobrang bait niya, sobrang maalaga but yung manligaw, hindi. Nag-Starbucks kami one time then we went to Rockwell. She's with her assistant, nagkaayaan lang nung nagkita kami sa ABS. Saka when we're together, di namin napag-uusapan ang mga sobrang seryosong bagay or kahit si Jake, puro light stuff lang. "Saka fresh pa yung breakup namin ni Valeen, siya naman kay Jake. May tinatawag na three months grace period. Kailangan yun para maiwasan yung love in a rebound."

Hindi kaya malaking factor din kung bakit hindi maligawan ni Victor si Roxanne ay dahil kasama niya sa Coveboys ang ex ni Roxanne na si Jake? "Kasi si Jake, close kami niyan, kailangan ko siyang kausapin bilang respeto lang. Magkaibigan kami," pag-amin naman uli ni Victor.

Victor Basa admits 10-month relationship with Valeen Montenegro

victor_basa_06 Consistent si Valeen Montenegro sa pagsasabing nanliligaw lang sa kanya si Victor Basa. Pero sa pakikipag-usap ng PEP sa Coverboys member recently, inamin nito na tapos na nga ang 10-month relationship nila ng mestisang young star. In fairness to Valeen, inamin din ni Victor na both of them agreed on keeping their relationship discreet muna.

"As much as possible, we kept it very private. Kasi sa work namin, ayaw naming makaapekto sa trabaho ng bawat isa. Like for example, alam ng tao na kayo, pag nag-away kayo o nagkaroon ng tampuhan, alam ng lahat."Nauwi sa breakup ang relasyon nila, but who initiated the breakup?

"Alam ko na di maniniwala ang mga tao sa isang mutual breakup but yun talaga ang nangyari. We weighed the advantages and disadvantages, kasi siyempre ako, may work, Siya may work din and nag-i-school din siya. Ang sinabi ko sa kanya, she has to focus on her schooling and sa career niya and she also realized that. The good thing is that we're still friends."

Sa mga interviews kay Valeen, sinabi nitong ayaw muna nitong makipagrelasyon dahil strict daw ang parents niya. Tinanong ng PEP kay Victor kung naging issue ba ang pagiging istrikto nga ng parents ni Valeen sa relasyon nila.

"It never became an issue. I love her parents," sagot ni Victor.

Victor Basa’s frontal nudity in the net?

Victor Basa denied he’s the naked hunk whose pixelized mid-body shot is now the hot hit in the net. The gorgeous guy looks like him but he said it’s not him. Victor celebrated his 23rd birthday (June 6) with the media with other Star Magic members born in June like Gretchen Fullido (June 4), Aldred Gatchalian (June 14(), Andi Eigenmann (June 23), Gemmae Custodio, Zaira dela Pena (June 10), Sophia Baars (June 12), Katrina “Hopia” Legaspi (June 13), and Arno Morales (June 14).

When BuzzBox met Victor more than two years ago, he was a silent guy who calculated the person he's talking to before saying anything. Now he has evolved: He gets warmer faster, has learned the art of sharing and knows where he stands. The actor has turned workaholic, having turned himself as a MTV VJ, events host for ASAP 08, a member of Coverboys and a go-cart racer. He has clearly come out of his shell.

He showed some emotion when he explained why he called PJ Valerio a gay. He courted Valene Montenegro while inside Big Brother house when he knew they were boyfriend/girlfriend.

Joross Gamboa, Alex Gonzaga, and Victor Basa form zany love triangle in "Your Song"

victor_basa_12 Star Magic talent Victor Basa is not afraid of being typecast as a gay character. He believes the audience is mature enough to differentiate reality from fiction. The alumnus of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 told PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) that he did not hesitate to accept this role, especially since he's the one being pursued in the story of Your Song, which airs starting today, May 4.

SYNOPSIS. Bobby (Joross Gamboa) falls in love at first sight with John (Victor Basa). The problem: Jen (Alex Gonzaga) is in love with Bobby, and the bigger problem, Jen is the sister of John!

Bobby is a Culinary Arts graduate and restaurant chef. John is a Law graduate who has already taken the Bar Exams, and unfortunately, failed twice, so he needs to take it again. Jen is the sweet, caring, and loving sister of John.

Bobby will do everything just to get John's attention and Jen will stop at nothing till she gets Bobby's heart. She always gives gifts and bakes something for Bobby. Little do they know that they're consulting the same article in a magazine about capturing someone's heart.
Who will win in this bizarre love triangle? Is there really a loser in love?

For Jen and John, what will they choose—the love for their sibling or the love they feel for somebody special?

These three young stars were handpicked for this story because Joross and Victor have been commended for their portrayal of gay roles in the past. Alex Gonzaga has proven to be a versatile actress who is effective in both drama and comedy.

Under the direction of Manny Palo, watch an intriguing, and exciting story of love between Joross Gamboa, Alex Gonzaga, and Victor Basa in Your Song Presents: Without You. This mini-series features the theme song, "Here I Am" by Erik Santos. Your Song also stars Noel Colet, Lui Villaruz, Carla Humphries, Aloy Norona, and Nina Dolino.

Meet the sexy Coverboys during their May 9-10 concert

Expect sexy production numbers to be prepared by the nine members of the Coverboys for their first concert titled Coverboys Uncovered. TV idols Jake Cuenca and Rafael Rosell; Star Magic talent Marvin Raymundo; Pinoy Big Brother housemates Zanjoe Marudo, Victor Basa, Jon Avila, and Will Devaughn; and Be Bench models John James Uy and Ron Morales promise to make their fans scream with delight during the event to be held on May 9-10 at the Music Museum.

During the Coverboys Uncovered press conference at Jozu Japanese Bar and Grill in Quezon City last April 30, PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) asked the organizers what makes this concert different from the production numbers of the Coverboys during ASAP.

"It's more revealing. You will see the hidden talents of the Coverboys. And, of course, they will tease the audience," says Ronald Padriga, synergy specialist.

Coverboys Uncovered will showcase the playful, naughty, and steamy side of the all-male group. Special guests Vice Ganda, Ethel Booba, John "Sweet" Lapus, and Nikki Gil will make the concert even more enjoyable. This concert features the choreography and direction of Georcelle Dapat of the G-Force and is produced by ASAP Live and MJM Productions.

How long have they been rehearsing for this concert? Jon Avila says, "I've been in the Coverboys for one year now so I guess that one year has been practice for me. It will be worth your money."

According to Rafael Rosell, the Coverboys have developed a strong bond because of their weekly stint in ABS-CBN's Sunday variety show ASAP. "Kapag pumunta kayo sa dressing room namin ‘pag Sunday, it's like we're in a bar talking. Kulang na lang ang beer at billiards table. Sumasayaw kami dun, we try to memorize the lyrics of our songs."

For Star Magic Batch 15 member Marvin Raymundo, he felt a bit uncomfortable while shooting the video directed by Jojo Saguin. Marvin explains that the concept of the video is to have the Coverboys portray various fantasies of women. In his case, he is cast as a techie guy who chats with women on the Internet. Other members of the Coverboys will play a gardener, a construction worker, a hip-hop dancer, and a lifeguard.

Marvin says that he often encounters people saying negative things about the group but he takes the criticisms as a challenge. "Yung iba sinasabi, bakit kami nagkaroon ng concert, but you just have to prove them wrong, so we're really preparing for this concert." The 20-year old model-actor has appeared in the ABS-CBN shows Pedro Penduko, Super Inggo 1.5 and Lastikman.

The Coverboys were then asked if they have a special guest who will watch the concert. Zanjoe says Mariel Rodriguez will be in Hawaii, Rafael says his girlfriend Malaya Lewandowski is in Abu Dhabi, while Will Devaughn is unsure whether or not Riza Santos will watch the sexy concert. As for Jon, he says that his mother will be arriving in the Philippines on May 7, just in time for the opening night on May 9.
