Vicky Belo: Back in Manila

Vicky Belo: Back in Manila

Dr. Vicki Belo is now back in the Philippines. She arrived earlier this morning in Manila today, Monday, February 20, 2012 and she immediately Tweeted to tell her followers that she has landed.

"Hi twerps I'm baaack. Thank you for all your prayers and support . It really helped me not to be so sad and kept me strong."

The controversial doctor created a funny scene at the airport when she tried to avoid the press by using a wheelchair and covered herself with a pashmina.

She related the story with the following messages:

"Comedy at the airport. I tried to avoid the press by riding a wheelchair and covering myself with a pashmina . It was almost perfect.

But my Driver was not where he was supposed to be. The. 3 minute wait seemed like an eternity then someone shouted . Nandyan si Dr. Belo naka wheelchair. 

Luckily only a few got to me . My departure was much better and seamless . No one saw me talaga . To all those who care

I'm doing ok. I'm still sad of course but it would be weird if I wasn't since in 3 months we would have been together 7 years. Im trying to figure out what lesson I'm supposed to learn from this."
Dr. Vicki Belo went to LA last week to celebrate her first Valentine's Day alone. She was supposed to be with Hayden Kho on that trip but she decided to leave the country alone after that controversial tweet she made that involved Nancy Castiglione.

While Vicky Belo was out of the country, news broke out that she has finally called it quits with Hayden. It was confirmed by Butch Francisco, one of Vicki's closest friends whom she called before leaving for LA.

WATCH WHITNEY HOUSTON FUNERAL LIVE ON THE INTERNET

Watch WHITNEY HOUSTON FUNERAL LIVE ON THE INTERNET

Singer Whitney Houston’s millions of fans worldwide will be able to share in her homecoming service on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) as they watch her private funeral on the Internet.

This will provide a much-needed connection for fans who have lacked a formal place to eulogize Houston, one of the world’s best-selling artists who died in Beverly Hills, California, on Saturday at the age of 48.

You could also gather and place flowers outside the Newark, New Jersey, church where the funeral will be held by invitation-only at the request of Houston’s family, who wish to maintain some privacy. Other fans had stopped by the funeral home.

But many have longed to share more fully in commemorating the superstar’s life, and have shown their grief in one of the few ways available to them—by buying her music.

Houston’s funeral will be at New Hope Baptist Church, where she sang as a child. Her eulogy will be given by gospel singer Marvin Winans, a Grammy Award winner and longtime family friend. Afterward, Houston will be buried in Fair View Cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey, according to her death certificate. Her father, John Russell Houston Jr., was buried there in 2003.

Don't miss to watch her private funeral on the Internet!
