Lani Misalucha nagmadaling bumalik ng Amerika, excited makita ang apo!

Do you know, Salve A., na ‘di pa pala nagte-team up sina Regine Velasquez at Gary Valenciano sa isang performance? Kaya ang original plan pala nina Cacai Velasquez-Mitra, nakababatang kapatid ni Regine and now married to Raul Mitra, musical director, was to have, bukod kay Martin Nievera, sina Gary at Lani Misalucha sa concert na sila ni Anna Puno ng Star Media, na sila ang producer, topbilled by Regine, Voices of Love.

Voices of Love, as we all know, is scheduled on February 14, 8 p.m., at the Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena.

Kaso nga raw, ‘di available sina Gary at Lani. Gary had a solo concert, also for Valentine’s day. Si Lani had to go back to Las Vegas (USA), dahil manganganak ang panganay niyang anak.

Yes, lola na si Lani.

Of Voices of Love, bukod sa Star Media, which Anna nga pala co-owns with her brother, Felix Co, and Cacai, producers din ang IME at GMA Network.

It was Anna and Felix, who conceptualized this major project, na God willing will have a repeat in Cebu, the U.S.A. and Canada.

Part of the proceeds of the Voices of Love will go to The Little Sisters of The Poor, one of the many charitable organizations, which Felix is a dedicated benefactor.

Dyowa ni Martin galing sa maimpluwensiyang pamilya

While Regine will have for her special guest at the concert her two year-old son, Nate, as husband Ogie Alcasid is performing at this own concert, with Solenn Heussaff as his special guest, Martin will have his ‘‘one and only,’’ too. But nobody will get to identity her in the audience.

In a previous interview, Martin said nobody, except, of course, his family and those close to her, will get to meet the girl, until he marries her.

The girl, a reliable source told us, comes from both a good and influential family.

It’s not yet known either if Pops Fernandez, Martin’s ex-wife, and either of their two sons will be at the concert.

Wala kaming nababalitaang concert si Pops on this special occasion. When Pops and Martin were still together, madalas silang magkaroon ng Valentine concert na magkasama.

Nabanggit na noon ni Martin na in all the years that he has been a singer and named Concert King, walang Valentines na wala siyang concert.

To date, walang question na isa pa rin sa pinakasikat at in demand na concert performers si Martin.

Buhay ni Direk Bernal laglag sa cinemalaya?

Even without pala the support of top businessman Tony Cojuangco, the yearly Cinemalaya Filmfest will proceed, as is, this year.

The Cultural Center of The Philippines (CCP), another sponsor, ay nakakalap daw ng mga bagong backer, willing to finance the project of each of the participating moviemaker.

As it is daw, may mga napili nang projects for the Filmfest ang Board of Judges for this year.

Did we hear it right na ‘di kasama sa mga napili ang supposed biography of the late award-winning director, Ishmael Bernal.

Assigned to direct the project sana was Chris Martinez, from a story and script of Ricky Lee.

Gaganap sana sa role of Direk Bernal si Michael de Mesa.
