Nine years na pala, to be exact, this year nang biglaang binawian ng buhay si Fernando Poe Jr., otherwise known as the King of the Philippine Movies. And simply FPJ to his mga following and Ronnie to his friends.
In any case, at the presscon for her new series, Muling Buksan ang Puso, Susan Roces was asked kung at her age now, in her early 70s, may balak pa siyang buksan ang kanyang puso, obviously, sa bagong pag-ibig, malumanay na sagot ni Susan (as usual), na ewan kung serious o nagbibiro lang: “why not?â€
Kung sabagay oo nga naman, why not? She has had a happy and obviously contented life with Ronnie kaya, it wouldn’t be a surprise if she gives marriage another try?
What do you say, Senator Grace (Poe Llamanzares)?
Muling Buksan… will start airing Monday. And a new Susan Roces, arogante, mapagmata, at ubod ng yaman ang mapapanood. “You should see a set of wardrobe,†anang kanyang talent manager na si Dolor Guevarra. And her jewelry, mga tunay. Na nakolekta niya all through the years.â€
As we all know as well, dating earmarked for Amalia Fuentes ang role na ginagampanan ni Pilar Pilapil sa series.
But Amalia backed out from the project.
According to Susan, Pilar just fitted the role. That of a poor woÂmÂan, who got her (Susan) ire but was able to fight back.
Tremendous, kung talent ang pag-uusapan, at ng iba pang members ng cast ng series. Kasama sina Cherie Gil, Agot Isidro, Dominic Ochoa at marami pang iba.
Three “primetime idols,†yes, of the younger set, are featured. These are Enchong Dee, Enrique Gil, at Julia Montes.
Cherie at Agot have both failed marriages, Cherie to an international violinist, with whom she has two kids, a boy and a girl, Agot to Manu Sandejas, now with TV5. The couple are childless.
While Cherie claims na handa siyang “muling buksan ang kanyang puso,†halatang she is not keen about it. Agot on the other hand, we heard is currently being linked to non–showbiz guy. Dennis Marasigan, who was once linked kina Dina Bonnevie at Lea Salonga.
Fresh from the success of his still ipinalalabas pang blockbuster movie, Four Sisters and a Wedding, Enchong Dee said, he requested the ’powers’ behind the production to allow him and Julia Montes, with whom sabihin na nating, he had a falling out, to create a new bonding between them. Na pinagbigyan ng grupo.
Now both Enchong at Julia feel na ‘di lang sila ready to work together again but more at home na sila sa isa’t isa than before.
Nangangahulugan ba itong muling mabuksan sa puso nilang dalawa this time? May nagtanong.
“I don’t think that’s necessary,†sagot ni Enchong. “Walang nasarhan kaya walang dapat buksan.â€
