Pagkatapos tulungan: Mother Lily mahihirapang pagsama-samahin ang 11 nanalong senador!

Type raw pala, Salve A., ni Mother Lily Monteverde na i-treat na magkakasama sa isang victory party ang 11 elected senators na palagay niya ay kanyang natulungan in the last elections by organizing a presscon for them with the entertainment press in atten­dance.

‘‘Gusto ko sana kasi for all of them na personally ay makapag-thank you sa entertainment press whom I plan to invite sa party. Sobra ang naitulong nila (the entertainment media) sa kanila. They should not forget this,’’ ani Mother.

But obvious na nahihirapan si Mother na ipu­­nin ang onse na kinabibilangan nina Grace Poe-Lla­manzares, Loren Legarda, Allan Peter Ca­ye­ta­­no, Chiz Escudero, Sonny Angara, Koko Pi­mentel, Cynthia Villar, Nancy Binay, Gringo Ho­nasan, Antonio Trillanes, at Bam Aquino.

Helen choice sana ng majority pamalit kay Amalia

Si Helen Gamboa ang choice ng karamihan na maging replacement ni Amalia Fuentes na nag-re­sign from the series Muling Buksan ang Puso which would have reunited her with former rival Susan Roces.

Good choice sana. Kaso ’di ba nagkasama na sina Susan at Helen sa wala pang isang taong katatapos na series na Walang Hanggan? Kaya kumbaga ’di na magiging bago ang pagsasama nilang muli. Besides, kasalukuyan pa diumanong nasa Paris (France) si Helen. Kaya mahirap makontak. Eh nagsi­simula nang mag-taping for the series ang iba pang members ng cast nito, kabilang na sina Ariel Rivera, Dante Rivero, Enchong Dee, Julia Montes, at Enrique Gil.

Ariel nga pala is himself a replacement lang ni Cesar Montano who would have taken over the role previously sana earmarked for US-based Romero Vasquez, who begged off pala from the offer.

In their time as Sampaguita Pictures contract stars, Romeo (still Bobby to his fans) was the favorite leading man of both Susan and Amalia.

Vivian nagka-interes uli sa acting, nagsawa na sa pagiging plain housewife

Papel pala na kapatid ni Chris­topher de Leon ang ga­gam­panang role ng still sexy siren na si Vivian Velez sa upcoming series ng TV5, Misibis Bay. As we all know, Misibis Bay, which is the resort of the newest tourist attraction in Albay province in Bicol, will serve as the backdrop of the series that will launch the Kapatid Princess, Ritz Azul, into full stardom.

The new contract stars ng TV5 are playing leading men to Ritz. These are Vin Abrenica, Victor Silayan, at Daniel Matsunaga.

Contrary to earlier reports, Misibis Bay is not Vivian’s comeback project in showbiz. Nasa cast din siya ng series na Imortal dati with John Lloyd Cruz and Angel Locsin as lead stars.

Imortal was an ABS-CBN production.

For a while, according to Vivian, she was set on being a plain housewife, a mother to two boys, and a businesswoman when she decided to quit showbiz. Kaso nga raw, na-miss niya ang ‘‘things’’ about showbiz. Kaya when the late ace director Marilou Diaz-Abaya decided to hold a crash course in filmmaking, naengganyo siyang mag-enrol. Hayun nga at muli siyang na-entice na magbalik-acting.

‘‘But I would no longer keep myself busy as I used to. I am back only to enjoy the challenge that comes with showbiz work,”sabi ng Body Beautiful.

‘‘Misibis Bay, I think, is another good vehicle for me. Kaya when I was offered to be part of it and learned about my role, sabi ko, ‘O sige, I will do it.’’’
