Manny pinatunayang age doesn’t matter!

Tiyak, agaw-pansin, Salve A., si Senator Manny Pacquiao, if he makes good his promise to attend the SONA (State of the Nation Address), the fourth SONA ni President Rodrigo Duterte since he became President in 2016.

After all, Senator Manny made good his promise to win over Keith Thurman na siyang nakalaban niya sa first boxing match nilang dalawa sa MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, last Saturday (Linggo dito sa atin).

For a time, marami ang nagduda (pati kami, ha Salve A.) na mahihirapan si Senator Manny to win over Thurman, since 10 years younger nga naman eto kesa kanya at 30.

Well, pinatunayan ni Senator Manny that age only matters, if you allow it.

Congrats, Senator Manny.

Alyssa trip maging leading man si Enrique

Dream leading man pala ng baguhang aktres na si Alyssa Muhlach si Enrique Gil. She would love it, Alyssa said, if in her first starrer, si Enrique ang makakapareha niya.

Alyssa, whose parents are Almira Muhlach and at one time, top cager na si Paul “Bong” Alvarez, already has one film to her credit, the horror flick, Clarita, top billed by Jodi Sta. Maria where she played a journalist.

Childhood dream niya ang maging artista, but she choose na sundin ang advice ng kanyang ina to finish college first. Thus, at 22, maipagmamalaki raw niyang may college diploma siya.

Prouder more siya whenever she asked kung ano ang relasyon niya sa aktor na si Aga Muhlach. “He is my uncle, my Mom’s brother,” nakangiti at maliksing sagot niya sa tanong.

No boyfriend since birth (NBSB), hindi kasama sa plano niya sa kasalukuyan ang umibig, not until may maipagmalaki na siya bilang artista.

Alyssa is scheduled to start work on a new teleserye, co starring her with Kiko Estrada at JM de Guzman.

Of Alyssa’s mom, Almira, who is now a professional make-up artist, but occasionally appears on TV, she was well-admired for her as a semi-kontrabida in Halik.

Almira regrets that she didn’t get the chance to have an encounter kay Jane de Leon, the new Darna.

“In Halik kasi,” Almira related, “I played the isnaberang mother ni Sam Milby, kaya most of my scenes were with him, Yen Santos, who played his wife, and Yam Concepcion na gumanap naman bilang kanyang kabit.

“Asawa ko naman si Cris Villanueva.”

Nonetheless, ayon kay Almira, happy siya for Jane, who won the role bilang Darna over nga 300 auditioneers.

Jericho Rosales and Amy Austria were also in the cast of Halik.

Pagpapagalaw ng mukha hindi na big deal

Of Jane, eh ano ngayon kung retokada nga siya. Lalo pa nga kung ilong lang naman niya ang kanyang ipinaretoke?

Actually parang social media ngayon ang pagpaparetoke. Mabibilang lang sa daliri, among our mga artista, mapa-male, mapa-female, na di ‘nakatikim’ magparetoke.

May ilan nga na kahit siguro sila mismo ay ‘di na maalala how they looked life, before they had themselves enhanced.

Well, sabi nga ng isang actress, who doesn’t look her age, dahil sa papa-enhance, if afford mo na magparetoke, then go for it.

Make sure, though, na di mo ipangungutang ang gagastusin mo, mabago lang ang looks mo.

Well, kung sabagay.

Piolo pinauwi mula Italy para kay Claudine

We bumped into Piolo Pascual sa corridors ng ELJ Building ng ABS-CBN, and we noticed na naka-pony tail siya.

Shoulder-length na ang haba ng kanyang hair, kapag nakalugay ito.

According to Piolo, more than a month din sila ni Direk Joyce Bernal na namalagi sa Italy, at balak nga raw talaga nilang mag-aral ng film making.

Until he was advised daw to come home, dahil baka simulan na niya ang kanyang reunion movie with Claudine Barretto.

Bago raw umalis si Piolo with direk Joyce for Italy, he finished the movie, Lupang Hinirang, directed by Brillante Mendoza na posibleng maisali daw sa isang filmfest abroad.

Sayang, Salve A., at ‘di namin naitanong kay Piolo if he will be around to help or just join direk Joyce, when she directs President  Duterte’s SONA at the Batasan today.
