Yayo Aguila

Showbiz Central's "Don't Lie to Me" segment makes it a family affair as Yayo Aguila, together with husband William Martinez and their whole family, minus their eldest daughter Patrizha guested yesterday, September 7, together to see Yayo strapped in the lie-detector machine and try her best to be as honest as possible.

Yayo, who looked kind of fidgety in her position, still smiled as host John "Sweet" Lapus read out the first question. The question was, "Yayo, nililigawan ka nga ba noon, ng ngayon ay Quezon City Vice Mayor na si Hebert Bautista noong Bagets days ninyo, kaya naman dali-dali kang tinanan ng mister mo na si William Martinez?"

"No," Yayo said and smiled. However, John's easy question proved too much for Yayo as the machine churned out a "Lie." When William saw the "Lie" sign, he jeered at his wife as John danced. After the dust settled, Yayo was given the opportunity to explain herself. She said, "Hindi kaya, ‘no! Hindi, hindi! Wala!"

To support her claim, William commented that someone indeed wooed his wife during their Bagets days, but it wasn't Herbert. "Mali ang info n'yo!" he laughed, not saying anything more.

Next question was slightly harder, as John revealed that the question would fall under "Moderate." He said to Yayo, "Two years ago, natsismis na ang mister mo na nahuli na may ka-date na starlet sa isang bar sa Q.C. Minsan din na nagselos ka din noon na sa isang teen star na na-link kay William, na tinagurian na pabling ng Philippine showbiz. Sa harapan ng iyong mister, masasabi mo ba na faithful ang husband mo?"

"Yes!" Yayo laughed and answered John. Once again, the machine gave out a "Lie" as Yayo and the whole family expressed shocked and shared funny faces and laughs. This time, John turned to William for an explanation.

John asked, "Ikaw, William, kahit hindi ikaw ang nagkasala e, faithful ka naman kay Misis?" "Kaya nga magkasama pa rin kami hanggang ngayon, e," William pointed out. With that said, John moved on the next question, which was a reasonably short one. He asked Yayo, "Sa tuwing nag-aaway kayo ni William, e, dahil ba sa pagiging selosa mo?"

"No," Yayo quickly answered. This time, the machine agreed with her, much to Yayo's relief. When asked to elaborate about the usual disagreements between husband and wife, Yayo revealed, "Kami, hindi kami nag-aaway, e. Pinag-aawayan lang namin, e, mahilig siyang mang-asar, e. Yun lang ang nakakainit ng ulo ko. Pero mabait ‘yan, e."

The next question was quite difficult as it revolved around a current controversy involving their daughter Patrizha. The question was, "Yayo, masama nga ba ang loob mo or masama ba ang loob ninyo sa iyong bayaw na si Albert dahil hindi raw ito concerned sa pinagdadaanang gulo ng anak ninyong si Patrizha.

"Siyempre no," Yayo answered. Again, Yayo got a failing result as the machine gave out a "Lie." After calming down from her protests about the machine's result, she explained, "Alam mo, si Albert, hindi man siya namin nakikita, e, hindi naman kailangan makita ang kamag-anak, e. Ang importante, lagi kaming nag-uusap at nagti-text. Alam namin na mahal niya kami. Walang duda doon." "Kaya mo pa ba?" John asked, after hearing Yayo's explanation. "Kaya pa!" Yayo exclaimed.

Since Yayo insisted, John proceeded with another sensitive question related to the Patrizha. He asked, "Did you feel guilty dahil naisip mo na mayroon kang pagkukulang sa anak mo na si Patrizha kaya siya na-involve sa kaso niya with Baron Geisler?" "No," Yayo answered. This time, the machine agreed and gave out a "Truth."

"Sa totoo lang, Sweet," Yayo said, "siyempre natural na magi-guilty ako dahil noong nangyari yun, e, wala ako. Pero umuwi naman ako at noong araw ng hearing, e, na-late ako dahil na-cancel ang flight. Pero hindi ako nagi-guilty dahil wala akong pagkukulang sa mga anak ko."

As the audience showed their appreciation by way of clapping, Yayo smiled and thought that maybe the segment had ended. However, John announced that there is one last question for her, aptly categorized as "It's now or never." John asked whether Yayo ever thought about leaving her husband.

When the question hit Yayo's ears, she looked at John and calmly said, "No, Sweet." A different change in pulse may have bothered the machine as it spurned Yayo's answer and gave out a "Lie." "Naubusan tuloy ako ng sayaw!" John commented as he danced his number.

"Tataas ang altapresyon ko dito!" Yayo joked. On a serious note, she explained, "Never. Imposible naman hindi kami nag-aaway. Tao lang kami ‘pag naiinis. Pero hanggang doon lang ‘yon. Nothing major at hanggang doon lang ‘yon."
