Is there life for the kids in the youth gag program, Goin’ Bulilit, once they are eased out of the show at aged 13?
‘‘Meron ho,’’ maliksing sagot ni Nash Aguas, who joined showbiz when he was five years old, after he was proclaimed champ of the Star Circle Kid Quest, the same reality show, which served as the stepping stone as well of still child star Xariel Manabat, at ngayo’y dalagita na ring si Sharlene San Pedro.
Like Nash, naging Goin’ Bulilit mainstay din si Sharlene. Xyriel was never a part of it, as she had one project after another bilang child sensation noon.
Dagdag nga pala ni Nash sa sagot niya. ‘‘Kami ni Alexa (Ilacad) are perfect example na may naghihintay pa ring magandang bukas sa mga na-oust ng Goin’ Bulilit Kids.’’
Both Nash and Alexa are now topbilled sa Bagito, with Nash playing the title role, no less.
Bagito is the series, which replaced Pure Love at napapanood daily. At naniniwala ang Dreamscape Television Entertainment, headed by ABS-CBN Business Unit head, Deo Endrinal, na bagama’t may kinalaman ang theme ng series, since common problem ito among parents na may mga teenager na anak, malaking factor din, no doubt ang team-up nina Nash at Alexa sa kasalukuyang success na tinatamasa ng Bagito.
And what can the two say to this?
‘‘Sobra kaming happy,” sagot ng dalawa. ‘‘Sana, huwag silang bumitaw sa panonood ng Bagito.’’
As a proof of Nash and Alexa’s popularity as a tandem at the moment, we heard that Star Cinema is currently preparing a movie for them.
‘‘Magiging tailor-made sa dalawa ang theme ng pelikula, since it will be about teenage life,’’ says ng Star Cinema insider.
Nash is 16 years old at 15 years old naman si Alexa.
Direk Laurice Guillen naghahanap ng lalaking makakasama
Five years na rin pala mula nang bawian ng buhay ang character actor cum comedian na si Johnny Delgado.
Which means, five years na rin mula nang maging widow si Direk Laurice Guillen.
She and Johnny have two children, both girls.
Thus, when we had the chance to talk with Direk Laurice at the presscon of Second Chances, her current directorial assignment for GMA 7, we asked her if walang second chance for her to fall in love again. And, perhaps, get married too, just like Boots Anson-Roa, who is now legally Mrs. King Rodrigo.
‘‘I’d admit I miss having companions. Males in particular, since mas madali silang pakisamahan. Makasundo.
‘‘I miss, maski man lang one companion, lalo’t kung dumarating ako sa bahay na nag-iisa lang dahil may kanya-kanyang lakad ang mga anak ko.
‘‘But if you ask me if I’d consider getting married again, ang sagot ko riyan, wala.
‘‘Magkaroon man ako ng permanenteng male friend, intimacy will never be an issue.
‘‘Gusto ko, friend lang, that’s it,’’ pahayag pa ni Direk Laurice.
As a director lang pala for TV ang contract ni Direk Laurice sa GMA 7, at guaranteed ito.
Which explains, aniya, why she was able to direct a movie recently for Star Cinema. And, from time to time too, do a series with ABS-CBN.
Of Second Chances, impressed daw siya with her stars na kinabibilangan nina Jennylyn Mercado, Rafael Rosell, Raymart Santiago, Roi Vinzon, Miriam Quiambao, at Ricky Davao, among others.
Second Chances starts airing on January 12.
