He is endowed with a delectable physical shell. But then in this business, a pretty face is not enough to which he fairly qualifies. Ham as he is, and even after a load of acting workshops he maintains the woody essence of every role.

NORA AUNOR : NATIONAL ARTIST IN THE WAITING… AND STILL WAITING!
It was an indignant weekend for Nora Aunor followers and the rest of industry hangers-on as once again the SUPERSTAR was not on the officially released list of this years roster of National Artists by the NCCA. Malacanang is silent on the issue perhaps for obvious reasons of not having to deal with might be considered as a blatant disregard for Nora Aunor’s value and importance in contemporary Philippine culture.

ANGELI BAYANI : FINALLY SCRATCHING THE SURFACE
Almost exactly a year ago I was tasked by ISDA MAGAZINE Editor in Chief SHANDII BACOLOD to do the cover story for its July issue. Of course I was delighted with the thought of having to chat away over coffee and smokes with the then WOMAN OF THE HOUR. It had to be at a circumstance of such that I would have the full attention of ANGELI BAYANI. I met here first at Mercedes Cabral’s birthday bash where we merely exchanged strange pleasantries; strange since she is a lady you’d feel you’ve known for years even if you were just introduced a swig ago. This time, so much has changed. Fresh from gracing Cannes with not just one film to her film but two; Singapore’s ILO-ILO and our own NORTE, HANGGANAN NG KASAYSAYAN. Meeting up at a Morato coffee joint, I was simply mesmerized with her cozy cool aura with not a nip of apprehension to once again laugh like a hyena with our jokes while picking on her thoughts at that particular period of her life as an actress in an industry with a very short memory. Here is the piece I made which I am reprinting as tribute to fabulous actress-gem of our generation. Of course after winning this year’s BEST ACTRESS in the Gawad Urian awards , ANGELI BAYANI has truly scratched the surface and how! Magpatuloy sa pagbasa

JUN-JUN QUINTANA : 37TH GAWAD URIAN BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR!
‘B*LLSH*T IS BETTER THAN KRIS AQUINO’
Somewhere along the way I read that Kris Aquino was qouted as saying ‘SILENCE IS BETTER THAN BULLSHIT’. What she was driving at is quite vague now that it has also been used as supposedly her reaction to Senator Bong Revilla’s rant against her president-brother. Magpatuloy sa pagbasa
THE SARAH GERONIMO & MATTEO GUIDICELLI LOVE AFFAIR : A CONFIRMATION COME LATELY
These past months talks on the pagmamabutihan between SARAH GERONIMO and MATTEO GUIDICELLI crawled like a millipede where fans and onlookers saw as a blossoming affair. There were assertions that Sarah’s eagle-eyed mother named Divine was keeping mum and was not heard to have given an unsavory remark about the relationship or Guidicelli. Magpatuloy sa pagbasa
BONG REVILLA & JINGGOY ESTRADA: SLAMMER BOUND
It is quite depressing to note that two showbiz action icons figured in the universe-shattering PDAF scam. I am sure by now that even the most uninvolved citizen is well-versed with the ways and wherefores of the case, thanks to media we all are informed with latest detail on the case. We may not be totally aware of the fact that their involvement [as frontrunners] affects the integrity of the movie industry. Magpatuloy sa pagbasa
