The Third Wheel

I was watching TV and I chanced upon a story concerning the relationship of singer Erik Santos and comedienne Rufa Mae Quinto. Both seem to be happy and claim that their relationship is based on mutual love and respect. This should not concern any of us since all of us lead private lives outside the workplace. It just so happens that people in show business have a tendency to be spotted even during their days off. It raises a few questions, therefore, why another famous personality seems to be overly concerned of either of the two's welfare.

It is a mystery to me why Richard Gomez (print ad model, & pseudo-talk show host) is so vocal about the two. There are times when one's opinions are best kept to the confines of one's room. In this situation, the only opinions that do count are Erik's and Rufa's. Another person's opinions only count if this person is directly affected. Could it be that Richard is very much enamored with Rufa and plans to leave his wife?  Is this an indication of his amorous intentions on Erik? I remember rumors flying before his express marriage to Lucy Torres that he was the benefactor of several gay political figures.

If you put the facts together, Mr. Gomez may just be missing the attention he used to get from his former wealthy and very gay benefactors.
