Top of the Morning: Watch Kaye and Paul Jake's Romantic Wedding

1. WATCH: Kaye and Paul Jake's romantic wedding video

We get to see more of what happened during Kaye and Paul Jake's wedding with the release of their on-site video after tying the knot last December 9. It begins with the close-up shots of Kaye, with her voice-over saying, "Reality sets the moment I open my eyes and see you in front of me." The next frame is Paul Jake, who answers, "You in front of me, and all I see is all my future mornings beginning now and here." The seven-minute long video takes us through the couple's pre-wedding preparations, captures the moment the couple first saw each other in church, shows a preview of the key messages of the priest for the couple, and gives us a peek when they say their wedding vows. We also get a glimpse of their wedding present to each other! The couple had 900 family and friends over. The video is by Nice Print Photography and Exige Weddings. Congratulations and best wishes!

2. Baby Seve's christening set in January

Tita Alex just disclosed that her first nephew, Baby Seve, son of sister Toni Gonzaga and director Paul Soriano, will be baptized next month. She said Toni decided to time it around her birthday on January 20. Alex also said Toni will make her television comeback next month. She said Baby Seve has brought so much joy in their family, and she loves taking care of him. "Naglalaro kami lagi. Malikot siya. Ang daldal niya. Hindi siya puwedeng naka-standby lang. One time, sabi ng Ate ko, 'Hindi niya siguro alam yung kamay niya. Sinabunutan na niya ang sarili niya,'” she shared. The number 1 #TitasofTaytay recently posted a video of her conversing with Seve. "The Chaba's fave word is Agooooooo (Agooo stands for ‘I love Tinang so much more than mommy’)," she wrote in the caption. (abs-cbn.com)


3. Wacth the first trailer for Despicable Me 3!

Gru (Steve Carell) is back, but the first trailer of the third Despicable Me movie introduces us to its new nefarious villain: Balthazar Bratt (Trey Parker), who happens to be the ‘80s-obsessed! So you get to watch the trailer while listening to Michael Jackson's "Bad" (Balthazar evens moonwalks on water). He even dares Gru to a dance off to Phil Collin's "Sussudio." Of course, Gru's wife, Agent Lucy (Kristen Wiig), will help Gru in their mission to stop Balthazar. The trailer doesn't show us the girls Margo, Edith, and Agnes and Gru's brother Dru (also voiced by Steve Carell), however. We feel another trailer release coming! Despicable Me 3 set to hit theaters on June 2017. (ew.com)

Starting today, the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) will crack down on taxi cab drivers "who refuse to ferry passengers or charge fixed, exorbitant rates" during this busy, traffic-laden holiday season. LTFRB‘s Oplan "Isbanero" will deploy over 100 enforcers and personnel to various malls all over Metro Manila to set up passengers’ assistance desks in the mall taxi bays, and also ensure that cab drivers have coins with them to be able to give exact change to their passengers. Complaints against a taxi cab driver will mean a fine of P5,000 for a first offense. Recently, the Lawyers for Commuters Safety and Protection also said they would assign volunteer lawyers to high-traffic areas, such as malls and bus terminals, to give the public “on-the-spot legal assistance” against unscrupulous taxi drivers.

5. Is Scarlet Snow learning Chinese?

Well, maybe not yet, but it looks like it's in the list of things to learn for the adorable toddler. "Do you I think I will ever learn to speak Chinese? I need it when I grow up. The man on TV said it's important for job security," the caption on her Instagram video of her listening to what sounded like a Chinese children's song. Towards the end, you'll hear her dad Hayden Kho singing the song, too. We've seen Scarlet learn how to read, count, swim, and many more. With her Chinese heritage, we won't be surprised if she turns out to be fluent in that language as well.
