Maricel, handang magturo sa baguhan!

Unless daw a young colleague asks veteran actress Maricel Soriano, how she / he should execute a scene sa isang series o kaya pelikula, na magkasama sila, she never volunteer.

Iba-iba rin nga ang interpretation ng bawat artista sa eksena o role niya.

Ganunpaman, hindi raw si Maricel nagkakait ng tulong, if she is asked.

At an earlier time nga naman, humihingi rin siya ng ayuda o tulong sa mga beteranong performers na kasama niya. And she was never denied ng tulong.

Do you know na batang-bata pa si Maricel when she joined showbiz in 1971?

She’s now 56 years old. Her birthday, February 25.

While she is versatile na maituturing, comedy, she admits, is her forte.

And guess why? Marami siyang movie na ginawa, mula noong bata pa siya, kasama si Dolphy, considered the King of Comedy.

This week magtatapos ang Kapamilya drama series, Ang Sa Iyo Ay Akin, where she has the privilege of working with a new generation of talents, such as Jodi Sta. Maria, Iza Calzado, Sam Milby at Joseph Marco.

Plus ang dalawang baguhang sina Grae Fernandez at Kira Balinger.

Jodi, tuloy ang pananahimik sa kanila ni Raymart

Salve A., tama ba ang ginagawa ni Jodi Sta. Maria na totally i-ignore lang ang mga diumano’y walang sawang mga “parinig” sa kanya ni Claudine Barretto, tungkol sa diumano’y relasyon between her at ng dating asawa ni Claudine, si Raymart Santiago?

In the first place, kung sabagay, wala pa namang pag-amin either sa kanya o kay Raymart, kung may relasyon bang namumuo sa kanila.

Kahit nga pala si Randy Santiago, ayaw makialam sa problemang ito, kung matatawag nga na problema, ni Raymart, who is Randy’s brother.

Kilalang singer na hindi na aktibo, may sepsis

Familiar ka ba, Salve A., sa sakit na sepsis, said to be an extreme response to an infection?

It is life threatening daw. Yes, itong sakit na sepsis.

In any case, isa raw ito sa mara­ming sakit na dinaranas ng isang kilalang singer, member of a singing group, na very popular in their time.

Ito raw ang dahilan why, kahit aktibo pa ang ilang members ng kanilang grupo, hindi na siya nakakasama.

Pray natin siya, Salve A.

Congratulations, Mario…

Type naming i-congratulate in advance si Mario Bautista, Salve A., sa pagkakaloob sa kanya ng SPEED (Society of Philippine Entertainment Editors) ng Manny Pichel Award sa darating na Eddys Award, now on its fourth year.

Mario B., as he is fondly addressed by his colleagues and the entertainment people, ay isa sa pinagpipitagang entertainment writer / columnist.

Let’s not count the years that he has been in the business. Basta, he happens to be one of the most-liked, too, and most credible na maituturing.

Of the trophy Mario B. will receive, it’s in honor of former entertainment editor Manny Pichel.

Manny died of cancer, a few years back.
