Tom may requirement para magpa-kabading uli

Hindi raw magdadalawang-isip na muling gumanap bilang gay si Tom Rodriguez, tulad ng ginagampanan niya sa My Husband’s Lover (MHL), mapa-series man o hindi.

Ang prime requirement lang daw niya ay maging disente ang execution ng role, tulad ng the way he and Dennis Trillo are handled, aniya in MHL. Kaya, dapat lang daw na maging kasing-husay ni Direk Dominic Zapanta ang mapiling director sa kanyang next project, na gaganap siya bilang gay.

In this case, papayag daw siya makipaghalikan sa lala­king kanyang makakapareha.

Did we hear it right na posibleng ‘‘mapagbigyan’’ ang ‘‘hiling’’ na ito ni Tom in his first big movie, na ang producer ay Regal Entertainment, and where for his leading-lady, makakapareha niya ang gumaganap na ‘‘misis’’ niya sa MHL? Yes, si Carla Abellana.

PIP pasama nang pasama

Habang nalalapit na ang pagtatapos ng series, Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala (HKLM), on ABS-CBN, lalong tumitindi ang inis, kung hindi man, galit kay Tirso Cruz III, sa kanyang role bilang Romulos. Aba, sagad sa kasamaan siya.

Kung sabagay, Pip (Tirso’s pet name) is just proving how effective he has become in all roles assigned to him now. After all, didn’t he start bilang matinee idol, the other half of the still unprecedented Guy (for Nora Aunor) and Pip tandem?

Then, mapanood lang sila ng kanilang mga tagahanga na kumakanta, whether personal or sa big or small screen, sapat na ito, para, wika nga, mag-create sila ng pandemonium.

But as Pip now said: ‘‘We have to go, wika nga, with the flow. At my age (he is in his 50s now), hindi na ako puwedeng magpa-cute, tulad ng dati. Kailangang may challenge na ang role na ginagampanan ko.”

Pip is proud how he and wife, Lyn (nee Ynchausti) kung paano nila pinalaki ang mga anak. Though the younger two, Bodie and Djanin, are following his footsteps, still tinupad ng mga ito ang hiling nila na magtapos ito ng college.

Their eldest, TJ, is doing very well as a Promotions man and events expert.

‘‘I’d say that God is kind to me and Lyn,’’ seryosong wika ni Pip
