As I wrote in my Tuesday column, yes — incredible as it may sound — I’ve appeared in quite a number of soap operas in the past year or so. However, I have to admit that I got extra excited and even challenged about the offer of Narito ang Puso Ko to appear as myself (a talk show host, but what else?) in about a couple of episodes of this nightly drama series.

                    [Summary] => "Racket" in the English language means "a noisy disturbance" or "an illegal activity done to make money." In English slang, it basically means a business or occupation.


In the entertainment world, if you say "racket," it means a very good thing – a sideline besides what you normally do in the business.


If an actor or singer goes on provincial tours (usually very profitable), then that is considered a showbiz racket.


Among television hosts, the usual rackets are doing corporate shows that often pay big money.
