Nadine Samonte at anak ni Isabel Rivas, kasal na?!

Back from the U.S. where she is taking up a crash course in Entrepreneurship si Isabel Rivas.

Isabel ay isa sa dumalaw kina Senators Bong Revilla at Jinggoy Estrada last Sunday sa custodial center ng Camp Crame kung saan nakakulong ang dalawa.

Isabel was later joined by son, Richard Chua and her would-be manugang, former TV5 talent, Nadine Samonte.

Ang ganda ngayon ni Nadine, na wala ni kati-ting na make-up nang dumating.

“Masaya kasi siya,” ani Isabel tungkol kay Nadine. “Alam niyang mahal siya ni Richard. Ganun din ako.”

Bagama’t may suot nang wedding ring si Nadine, ayaw nitong aminin kung kasal na ba sila ni Richard. Isabel chose to keep mum about this issue, too.

But proudly, aniya, she had a hand kung paano nag-end up together sina Richard at Nadine.

Nagkasama raw sila ni Nadine sa series na Kidlat na pinangunahan ni Derek Ramsey, on TV5.

Naging dahilan daw ito kung bakit naging close silang dalawa. At that time, kahihiwalay lang yata ni Nadine sa boyfriend niyang anak ng may-ari ng Lydia’s lechon.

Kaya, sabi raw niya kay Nadine, “Ipapakilala kita sa anak ko, nang maipakilala niya sa iyo ang kanyang mga kaibigan. Pawang single sila. Mababait at may matatag na hanapbuhay.”

Nasa Amerika raw siya nang tumawag sa kanya si Richard at ibalita nito sa kanya na nag-propose na ito kay Nadine.

At bilang tanda raw ng pagmamahal niya sa dalaga, he made her a ring, out of a tissue paper na hawak-hawak niya.

“Old possession ko ang ring na suot ngayon ni Nadine, na ipinabago ko ang design.

“Sabi ko kay Richard, ito ang ibigay mong engagement ring kay Nadine,” ani Isabel, sabay abot daw sa bagong design na ring sa anak.

Kay Richard na halos ipinamamahala ni Isabel ang kanyang vast farm na punumpuno ng mga iba’t ibang fruit trees sa Iba, Zambales. Pati na rin ang iba pang negosyo niya.

Tutal nga naman, kanino pa ba niya ipamamana ang kanyang mga ‘maiiwanan’?

John gustong sundan ang yapak ni Eddie Garcia

Type pala ni John Estrada to be another Eddie Garcia. As he truly admires daw the actor’s professionalism, dedication, and discipline as an actor.

He has worked with Eddie raw in quite a number or projects na, mapa-TV at big screen, and he ends admiring him more.

To follow Eddie’s footsteps as a director may be something hard to follow. But as what the Icon (which is how he addresses Eddie) had told him, sa isa sa mga pag-uusap nila, make sure to always follow your dream.

While he is still completing his scenes for the series, Ikaw Lamang, kung saan siya gumaganap na ultra-bad Don Gonzalo Miraveles, he is, according to him, prepa-ring para sa kanyang next assignment for Viva Films, a horror-suspense flick, which will co-star him sina Christopher de Leon at Meg Imperial.

Viva Films is also the producer ng Trophy Wife, co-starring him naman sina Cristine Reyes, Derek Ramsey, at Heart Evangelista, which is set to open today, July 30 in theaters sa buong bansa.
