Did we hear it right that AiAi delas Alas will have to cut short her vacation in the US with her kids because a producer summoned her home? The producer wants her added in the cast of his Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry.

More about this kapag na-confirm na namin.

Phillip nakasaksi ng milagro, anak nabuhay matapos ideklarang patay na!

Phillip Salvador takes to his youngest son Pics (for Phillip Israel Christian Salvador) as a miracle baby.

He remembers that when the boy was one and a half years old ay nagkasakit ito. In the hospital, after a seizure, the doctor pronounced him dead.

Umiiyak ang kanyang asawang si Emma when she called him up to inform him about what happened.

We cannot recall kung paanong accidentally ay naka-encounter ni Phillip ang isang healer. He asked him na dalhin siya sa hospital room ng bata.

Phillip related he gathered lahat silang nakapa­ligid sa bata, at magkakahawak-kamay, they prayed.

Ang miracle of miracles, narinig ng lamang nila si Pics na umiiyak.

Now, six years old, Pics, according to Phillip is in the pink of health. Like just about any boy his age, napakapilyo raw ng bata. Nag-aaral na nga rin daw ito.

Phillip said he may no longer be a solid Catholic now, because he belongs to another religious community, but like all of us he believes in the existence of the God.

He attributes everything good that is happening to him now kay Lord. Career wise, he is doing very well, what with his current assignment, Undercover for TV5, where he is not only paid well but is assigned a role na challenging.

He gets to work din with Derek Ramsay and Wendell Ramos who just don’t excel in their work but are both professionals as well.

Wendell said he has worked with Phillip before when he was just starting his career in showbiz. And just observing him act before the cameras and dealing with people, he learned a lot from him.

From Derek, working with Phillip naman ay dream come true na for him. He considers the veteran actor generous when sharing his acting know-how with his co-workers.

“Ang bait niya rin. Hindi mo iisiping siya si Phil­lip Salvador, isa sa itinuturing na icon, when in comes to action films.

 â€œAt bihira ang katulad niya, who excels, too, in drama. Wow, ilang awards na ba ang kanyang natanggap? I wish half of what he has achieved both as an action and drama star ay makamit ko rin,” ang sinserong sabi ni Derek.

Bagama’t malaki at malalim din ang role na gina­gam­panan ni Wendell sa Undercover, compared sa Kidlat, which also co-starred him with Derek, mas maraming eksena ang bidang hunk actor na kasama si Phillip.

While Derek plays a no-nonsense policeman, si Phillip naman ay head of a syndicate na ang tingin sa kanya ng kanyang mga tauhan ay kabuuan ng isang godfather. His power allows him to punish anyone na kanyang makakasagupa lalo na if makaaway niya.

Isang maituturing na highlight ng Undercover ay ang finally pagtatagpo nilang dalawa pero, sabi nga ni Phillip, this will not happen soon. Bagama’t masasabing hitik na sa action at suspense ang series.

Directed by Topel Lee, Undercover also stars former beauty queen Evangeline Pascual and TV5 princess Arci Muñoz.
