Jerome natuwa sa gay role

In his mid-20s, Jerome Ponce looks every inch a macho. Which he is in real life, he says.

No wonder, bagay na bagay sila ng kanyang volleyball champ girlfriend na si Mika Reyes.

Hindi rin daw siya nagdalawang isip nang ialok sa kanya ang role tungkol isang gay sa kanyang soon-to-be released movie under Regal Entertainment Inc., ang Ang Henerasyong Sumuko sa Love, directed Jason Paul Laxamana na siyang may akda.

“Ang ganda ng kabuuan ng kuwento,” ani Jerome. “Very timely. Very in.

“I’m supposedly part of a group na magkakagrupo in college.

“One time, we all spend overnight in a beach and since we all had a wonderful time, we made a pack na magkita-kita the following year exactly on the same spot,” pahayag ni Jerome.

Sa pelikula, susog ni Jerome, ipapakita how a year can change a person, to the point na di mo iisiping at one time, sobrang kilala n’yo ang isa’t isa.

“Kaya I’m sure, a lot among those who will watch the movie, will be able to identify themselves in any of the characters played by us,” patuloy pa ni Jerome.

Kasama rin sa cast ng Ang Henerasyong Sumuko sa Love, which opens October 2 in theaters nationwide, sina Jane Oineza, Albie Casiño, Myrtle Sarroza and Tony Labrusca.

Of Jerome, napanood siya sa seryeng Be Careful With My Heart bilang anak ni Richard Yap.

Kasama niya sa series sina Janella Salvador at Jodi Sta. Maria.

“At that time, all of us were just starting in showbiz. At awa ng Diyos, naging dahilan ‘yon para maging busy kami with assignments, henceforth,” kuwento ni Jerome.

Hindi pa man naiso-showing ang Ang Henerasyong… ay may bago nang assignment si Jerome. Richard is in the cast of the top series, Kadenang Ginto, starring too, Dimples Romana, Beauty Gonzales, Joko Diaz at Adrian Alandy, plus the young stars who compose the Gold Squad, Andrea Brillantes, Francine Diaz, Seth Fidelin at Kyle Echarri.

Janella pits talent with Maja Salvador, Geoff Eigenmann and Joshua Sta. Maria in the Killer Bride naman.

Gowns at accessories nina Sharon at Regine sa concert, pinaaabangan din

Sharon Cuneta and Regine Velasquez individually are endorsers ng dalawa sa puwedeng ituring na popular food chain ng bansa. Pareho itong sponsors ng kanilang upcoming first concert together, ang Iconic na mapapanood sa Araneta Smart Coliseum this October. Yes for two nights.

In any case, asked which of the two food chain purchased the most number of tickets, both Sharon at Regine merely demurred.

From Jun Lalin, publicist of the concert, we heard na lahat ng prime seats sa concert, ang alam niya ay nabili na.

Jun chose not to identify kung sinu-sino ang bumili. Ang dami nga noon, pag nagkataon.

In any case, the concert, we heard, will be directed by Rowell Santiago, who is currently busy too, with the prime action series, FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano.

Pareho na nilang nakatrabaho ito bilang concert director, pag-amin both nina Sharon at Regine. Individually, though. Kaya itong Iconic ang first concert together nilang pamamahalaan ni Rowell.

Dalawa ang kanilang musical directors, sina Louie Ocampo at Raul Mitra.

Hindi nila binanggit kung ilang awitin ang ide-deliver nila. Pero tiyak daw na marami silang duets.

Tiyak na big come on din para sa concert kung ilang changes ng kanilang gowns sila magkakaroon.

In fairness, nagbawas ng timbang si Sharon. In the case of Regine, fit and prim naman siya lagi.

Hindi nga pala ibinunyag ng dalawa kung sinu-sino ang mga designer ng kanilang respective wardrobe.

And what and how about their respective accessories?

Well, ito rin ay dapat abangan.
