Kyline, kabado kina Ruffa at Gloria

Isa si Barbie Forteza sa mga bida ng pinakabagong serye ng GMA Network na Beauty Empire. Ayon sa aktres ay ibang-iba ang kanyang ipamamalas sa mga manonood ngayon kumpara sa kanyang mga nagawa noon. “Coming from grand period drama na Maria Clara at Ibarra Pulang Araw, ngayon we will step into beauty and fashion. Bu-Beauty si ate Barbie, fa-fashion siya. So very, very excited. Together with my glam team, we’re all very excited,” nakangiting pakayag ni Barbie sa 24 Oras.
Kabilang din sa bagong revenge-drama series ng Kapuso network sina Kyline Alcantara, Ruffa Gutierrez, at Gloria Diaz. Magkahalong emosyon ang naramdaman ni Kyline nang makatrabaho ang ilan sa mga tinitingala sa industriya. “Kinakabahan ako nang sobra-sobra kasi napakalaking proyekto nito. This is my biggest so far. I feel so honored at the same time. Kasi si Ms. Ruffa, si Ms. Gloria nasa harap ko. At isa si Barbie sa tinitingala kong artista sa henerasyon ko,” paglalahad ni Kyline.
Masayang karanasan naman para kay Ruffa na muli siyang nakapagtrabaho sa bakuran ng Kapuso network. Malapit nang mapanood sa Viu at GMA ang bagong serye. “I started my career in television here in GMA at the tender age of 14. And now I can’t lie about my age anymore. I’m 50 and I’m back here with GMA. So, I’m really excited,” pagbabahagi ni Ruffa. Kasama rin sa naturang serye ang Korean actor na si Choi Bo Min, Chai Fonacier, Sam Concepcion, at Sid Lucero.
JK, walang pagmamahal sa amang German
Bata pa lamang ay hindi na nakilala ni JK Labajo ang amang si Oliver Stolz mula sa Munich, Germany. Sampung taong gulang pa lamang daw noon si JK nang unang magbalak na hanapin ang ama. “I was around 10 when this happened, only able to find the number and able to contact the number, may sumagot. After ringing for how many times, it was a woman, a grown-up woman. And then it was me and my lola on the line. Inisip ni lola, ‘Huwag mo sabihin, baka wife.’ It was 10 years after I was born, maybe his life changed. ‘Long-time friend from the Philippines,’ sabi ni lola. ‘Well, Oliver’s not here.’ Then I specifically remember hearing kids in the background and I was like, ‘Interesting,’ I think they were girls. ‘But he’s not here, he’s at work. What name would I leave so that I can tell him who called.’ Sabi namin ‘May,’ which was the name of my mom. Then after that wala na, hindi na sumasagot,” pagbabalik-tanaw ni JK sa YouTube channel ni Karen Davila.
Kasagsagan daw ng pandemya nang muling magbalak si JK na hanapin at makilala ang ama. Nag-post ang singer-actor sa kanyang Instagram account noon upang humingi ng tulong sa followers. “Cut to 10 years, why don’t I try to look for my dad on a more public scale since we have a following online. I was around 20 and then I remember posting about it on Instagram stories. This guy from Pampanga, his son followed me online. He was able to find where my dad worked. He was able to find the co-workers of my dad to confirm, and he was able to find my dad’s number. I messaged him on Whatsapp, ‘Hello, my name is Juan Karlos.’ Ang hirap mag-compose ng message sa tatay ko na hindi ko kilala. ‘I am the son of May Labajo and I just wanted to message you. I have a lot of questions I want to ask but I’m not reaching out for any kind of financial support, but I just also want you to let you know that my mom passed back in 2013 because of cancer, just in case you didn’t know.’ After few hours later, it was seen. And then a little bit after that I was blocked on Whatsapp. It felt like the world fell upon me. I tried reaching out a little bit more after that. I tried calling, I tried emailing, didn’t get sent. I want to get to know my mom more from his perspective and I also want to get to explore that other side of the world, that huge, big part of me,” pagdedetalye ng binata.
Mula noon ay hindi na muling tinangka ni JK na hanapin ang ama. Aminado ang singer na hindi nakaramdam ng pagmamahal sa ama. “No, not really. First of all, what is love? Second of all, what kind of love should I feel for him? After that it was painful. I was a 20-year-old boy, crying during the pandemic because of that whole thing but at the same time it was kind of a closure. I am still here 20 years in, I can do the next without him,” makahulugang pahayag ng singer-actor. (Reports from JCC)
