How time flies. EleÂven years old na pala ang uniÂco hijo ni Cherry Pie Picache na si Jose Antonio. Or Nio for short.
Devoted daw ang akÂtres ni San Antonio. Hence, she named Nio after her favorite saint.
She is now both mother and father to Nio dahil hiwalay na sila ng ama nitong si Gary Trio, after 13 years of being together.
Would you believe na nangyari raw ang kanilang paghihiwalay nang magbalak na silang magpakasal?
Well, she believes it’s God’s will.
Loveless at the moment, naka-focus ang atensiÂyon niya ngayon sa anak bukod, of course, sa kanyang showbiz career. Nasa cast si Cherry Pie ng high-rated series na Ina, Kapatid, Anak ng ABS-CBN.
The series will end in probably two weeks.
By the way, ipinagmamalaki ni Cherry Pie ang pagiging expert tennis player ng anak. Kung ilang ulit na raw nasali sa tennis competition si Nio and always he ends up a champion.
Actually, ini-encourage niya si Nio sa sport na ito. Not only has she become a tennis player herself, she also got him two tennis coaches na ang isa ay for training and another for conditioning.
As much as possible rin she accompanies the boy sa kanyang mga competition. No matter if, at times, she has to excuse herself from her work or whatever.
What about Nio’s studies? We asked Cherry Pie.
‘‘Well, usapan naming ito ang kanyang magiging priority pa rin over his tennis playing. And so far, so good,†sagot ng aktres.
‘‘Kahit wala siyang tutor, except me and his Yaya Becca (Escosa), nasa honor roll siya. Sa Ateneo siya nag-aaral. Now, tell me, why shouldn’t I feel proud of my son?’’
Kahit umamin na, Maja at Gerald ayaw sabihin kung kelan nagsimula ang relasyon
Proud din, siyempre pa, si Maja Salvador sa giÂnawang pag-amin ni Gerald Anderson na in love ito sa kanya. Kaya naman, hindi na siya nagdaÂlawang-isip na aminin din kay Boy Abunda, via Boy’s segment in the newscast, Bandila, na mahal din niya ito.
Like Gerald, Maja denied na mag-on na sila ni Gerald nang magkasama sila, at ang kani-kanilang barkada, sa Misibis Bay early this year. Ganun man, ayaw din nila exactly sabihing dalawa when they became formally a twosome. Basta, ang mahalaga nga naman, happy sila sa isa’t isa.
Kararating lang ni Gerald with good friend Rayver Cruz, from the Cannes International Film Festival, where Gerald’s indie movie On the Job (OTJ) was an entry. Ipinalabas ito sa Directors’ Fortnight ng international filmfest.
Also starring sa OTJ si Piolo Pascual at si Erik Matti ang director.
Originally, plano sana ni Gerald to bring Maja with him to the entertainment event. Kaso ’di nga puwede si Maja dahil busy siya with her taping for Ina, Kapatid, Anak where she and Kim Chiu play the role of magkapatid.
Common knowledge na nagkaroon sina Kim at Maja, formerly best friends, ng ’di pagkakaunawaan mula nang simulan ni Gerald ang panliligaw kay Maja. After all nga, claim daw ni Kim, si Maja ang kanyang naging shoulder to cry on niya nang mag-break sila ni Gerald.
At that time, Maja was still on a happy relationship with former boyfriend Matteo Guidicelli, na now ay napapabalita namang ka-on na ng baguhang si Jessy Mendiola.
