Star Cinema hirap sa paghahanap kay Darna

No less than her future mother in-law, Batangas Governor Vilma Santos-Recto ang nag-advise daw kay Angel Locsin na huwag magsising she (Angel) had to give up the movie Darna, because of her health reason.

As Ate Vi reportedly told Angel, na na-prove na niya na akma siya sa role na Darna, when she was given the title role in a series ng GMA 7, when she was still with the Network.

Ate Vi herself has performed the iconic Darna in a movie.

Ate Vi and Angel are currently doing the Star Cinema movie, All Of My Life, with Joyce Bernal directing.

In the meantime, ‘di pa sigurado ang Star Cinema, kung sino among their stars ang kukunin nilang replacement ni Angel sa naihanda na nilang pelikulang Darna.

Totoong pangalan ang nakalagay Alma Moreno hindi balido sa balota

Hindi naging madali para kay Alma Moreno ang mag-decide na tumakbo sa pagka-Senator in the coming election 2016.

Although, she knows she was prepared for it.

Foremost among the accomplishments she has achieved, so far, ay ang pagiging (actually up to the present) National Chairperson of the Philippine Councilors League (PCL).

Naging President din siya ng PCL, which has, more or less, 14,000 members.

Hindi pa kasama rito ang kanyang accomplishments as First Lady of Parañaque City, where she has been Councilor for three terms (actually, again, up to now), for 12 years, when she was still married to then Mayor of the City, Joey Marquez.

In all those years, pinamahalaan niya as Chair ng Asosasyon ng mga Kababaihan, ang cleanliness at beautification drive of the City.

In any case, while still considering the idea na tumakbo bilang Senador, kaagad nag-protesta ang kanyang mga anak, lalo na ang dalawang panganay niya kay Joey na sina Vittorio Joey (VJ) at Wynwin.

Inaalala nila ang health ng kanilang ina, considering nga naman ang mga nakakapagod na aktibidades na tatahakin ni Alma, during the campaign period.

Kaya with her children daw, Alma consulted their personal physician who told Alma that she was, definitely hale and healthy.

“But just the same,” ani Alma, “I wanted a sign. A sign from Someone up above, kung dapat pa akong tumakbo o hindi,” pahayag ni  Alma. “At that time, wala pa akong tiyak na partidong sasalihan, o, kakampihan, kumbaga.”

Then, suddenly, he received a call from the Partido UNA. They wanted her included in their senatorial slate.

Is she accepting the offer?

The rest, kumbaga, is history.

A very prayerful person, Alma carries in her bag a rosary always. May palagi rin siyang hawak na cross, lalo’t kung may importanteng desisyon siyang kailangan niyang resolbahan kaagad.

‘Nga pala, pakiusap ni Alma sa mga botante sa araw ng halalan to write in-their-balota her real maiden surname, Lacsamana, as this is daw the official name na approved na gamitin niya ng COMELEC.

Heneral Luna kumikita pa rin

Guess how much na, as of this writing, ang na-earned sa box office ng Heneral Luna, top billed by hindi naman gaanong sikat na aktor na si John Arcilla?

Tumataginting na more than P200 million. And still counting pa.

The producers behind Heneral Luna are keeping their fingers crossed that they will make it to the Oscars din.
