Sunshine, malapit pa rin sa dating asawa

Super ang kuwento, Salve A., both ng life story at pag-aartista ni Sunshine Dizon.

Did you know that she was three years old nang una siyang sumabak sa showbiz.

And here’s why. Her mom, kilala sa showbiz as Dorothy Laforteza (real name: Dorothy Cansancio Dizon), was both a popular movie and TV producer.

Eh, as a baby, ang cute ni Sunshine Dizon (real name: Margaret Sunshine Dizon), bukod sa madali itong turuan, lalo’t kapag nasa harap ng kamera.

Bagama’t hindi tumigil sa pag-aaral (the reason, perhaps why articulate siya, both in English at Tagalog), nagpatuloy rin siya sa pag-aartista.

Sunshine was in her mid-20s when she married businessman Timothy Tan, with whom may dalawa siyang anak, isang babae at lalaki.

Hiwalay na sila ni Timothy, pero mananatili raw close, lalo’t ang mga bata sa father ni Timothy.

In her case, hindi siya tumigil sa showbiz, lalo’t bukod sa acting, nag-try din siyang maging director at producer.

No wonder, kahit sa kanyang age ngayon, 37, inalok siya ng ­Kapamilya na maging part ng lead cast ng kanilang upcoming teleserye, titled Marry Me, Marry You, co-starring her, among ­others, with Paulo Avelino at Janine Gutierrez.

In the cast, too, is Jake Ejercito.

Jake, mas gusto Munang bantayan si Ellie

Of Jake Ejercito, bukod sa kilala siya bilang anak nina former President Joseph “Erap” Estrada, na naging Manila mayor din nga pala, at dating aktres na si Laarni Enriquez, higit lalong kilala siya bilang single dad sa kanyang anak na si Ellie, now nine years old, kay Andi Eigenmann.

Kay Jake nakatira si Ellie, bagama’t madalas din itong “hiramin” ni Andi, na may bago nang pamilya at kasalukuyang nakatira sa Siargao.

A popular tourist spot, Siargao is an island. It’s where Andi and her new partner, Philmar Alipayo, who both works bilang travel guide at professional surfer, live with their two young children, a boy and a girl.

Balik kay Jake, sa presscon for Marry Me, Marry You, may nagtanong sa kanya, kung bakit nag-decide siyang mag-artista, when common knowledge na nagtapos siya ng dalawang kurso sa dalawang universities abroad.

‘Di nga ba at sa Nothumbria University in ­Singapore, tinapos niya ang kanyang master’s degree in marketing with honors.

May degree rin in politics si Jake from Queen University in London.

In any case, sa tanong kung bakit nag-decide siyang mag-showbiz, ang tanging sagot ni Jake: ngiti lang.

Jake first ‘taste’ of acting, kumbaga, was via the movie, Coming Home, who co-starred him with half-brother, former Senator Jinggoy Estrada at Sylvia Sanchez.

Well, sa tanong kung may bagong pag-ibig si Jake, well, at 31, gusto raw niyang mag-focus muna kay Ellie as a dad.

Soon nga naman kasi, the girl will turn teenager.
