Imelda inaalala ang kuwento ng Isang Linggo…

True nga, Salve A., that in every song, there’s a story behind it.

Ikinuwento ni Imelda Papin sa members of the press kung ano ang inspirasyon ng compo­ser ng kanyang hit song na Isang Linggong Pag-ibig na si Mon del Rosario.

Kakaunti lang ang nakakaalam na doctor by profession si Mon. One time raw, na-assign siya sa isang cancer patient na may asawang sobra kung mag-alaga rito.

Kitang-kita mo rin daw how well-appreciated ng babae ang ginawa sa kanya ng asawa.

Another story about the song is that, Imelda did not originally sung it first. At ang original title raw nito ay O Kay Bilis. Ang kanyang kapatid na si Gloria (Belen) originally ang nag-record nito.

But the song hit the charts, so to speak, when the song adopted the title Isang Linggong Pag-ibig and record producer Buddy de Vera assigned Imelda to record it sa kanyang record company, Alpha Records.“That was, of course, more than 40 years ago,” ani Imelda. “I consider the songs as my National Anthem. And it surprised me that in the provinces, lalo na, mga bata sing the song with gusto.

“Which is the reason why I have decided to have the song revived. And I chose to have L.A. (Santos) whom I’ve heard sing and, no need to articulate, I’m impressed, to record it,” kuwento pa ni Imelda.

Imelda’s owned production, Papin Entertainment, has produced the record of L.A., which will be released this summer by Star Magic, headed by Roxy Liquigan.

Of Imelda, muli siyang tumatakbo bilang vice governor sa Camarines Sur, position na kanya na ring hinawakan noon.

Imelda remains, too, the President ng Kapisanan ng mga Artista Pilipino sa Pelikula at Telebisyon.

Sarah isa lang talaga ang kasama sa pelikula

Isang aso lang talaga, ayon kay direk Jun Lana, ang makakasama ni Sarah Geronimo sa kanyang gagawing movie for Viva Films, entitled Unforgettable.

Si direk Jun ang namahala ng movie, na ayon sa kanya ay kakaiba pero very endearing.

Excited daw sila ni Sarah na masimulan na ang movie.

Unforgetable marks Sarah’s second movie, after Miss Granny, which earned her a Best Actress nomination in one prestigious award giving body.

Christian balik sa pagba-bakla

Of direk Jun, natutuwa raw siya na pumayag si Christian Bables to co-star with Paolo Ballesteros at Martin del Rosario in his and partner Perci Intalan’s entry, The Panti Sisters, for their film firm, IdeaFirst Company, sa Pista Ng Pelikulang Pilipino (PPP) na gaganapin sa September 13 hanggang 19.

Now on the third year, the PPP, of course, is a flagship program of the Film Development Council of the Philippine (FDCP), chaired by Liza Diño, who is also its CEO.

In any case, it will be recalled that Christian had a falling out with both Sirs Jun and Perci, when he turned down an offer of the two to top bill Born Beautiful, after the success of Die Beautiful, which they conceptualized and produced for him na kumita sa takilya.

The partners produced Born Beautiful just the same, with Martin playing the title role.

Born Beautiful proved a hit at the box office as well.

Sa Panti Sisters, gaganap sina Christian, Martin at Paolo bilang gay brothers. Wish ng kanilang mayamang ama na magkaroon ng apo sa kanila. At makukuha lang ng mga ito ang kanilang mana kung mangyayari iyon.

 ‘’It’s a comedy,” sabi ni direk Perci na siyang magdidirek ng The Panti Sisters. “Iyong tipo na from beginning to end, hindi lang mag-e-enjoy, kung hindi hahagalpak sa tawa, ang manonood.”
