Gov. Vi ayaw makisawsaw sa pagmi-mayor ni Luis sa Batangas

Happy daw si Batangas Governor Vilma Santos-Recto sa naganap na pagbabalikan between his son, Luis Manzano, and Angel Locsin. At least, halata raw ang kakaibang happiness ngayon ng kanyang panganay.

On when the two will get married, ayaw daw niyang pakialaman ang anumang desisyon mayroon ang dalawa. Ang mahalaga raw sa kanya, parang nagkakatotoo sa dalawa ang kasabihan na love is lovelier the second time around.

On Luis venturing sa politics, she is leaving up to him ang desisyon as well. Tutal daw, where his career is concerned now, si Luis mismo ang nagdi-decide for himself.

Matet bilib sa pagwawala ni Angel

Married for nearly 10 years now to a popular and good-looking cager, kung saan mayroon na siyang dalawang magagandang anak, Matet de Leon said na sobrang nakaka-relate siya sa character (as Mo­nica) na ginagampanan ni Angel Locsin sa series na The Legal Wife.

Matet, as we all know, ay kasama sa cast ng The Legal Wife, which, aside from Angel, who plays the title role, also stars Jericho Rosales, Maja Salvador, Joem Bascon, and senior stars Christopher de Leon, Rio Locsin, and Mark Gil.

Matet plays Rowena, ang officemate at friend ni Nicole (Maja), who constantly advises her na tigilan na ang pakikipagrelasyon kay Adrian (Jericho), dahil may asawa nga ito.

‘‘As a married woman, sobrang gusto kong pa­lak­pakan si Monica, na in her confrontation scene with Nicole, talagang nagwala siya.”

Was Maja really hurt sa nabanggit na eksena?

“Yes,’’ sagot ni Matet. ‘‘Pero part of the game ang masaktan ka sa taping o shooting, lalo’t may mga eksenang isa sa kaeksena mo ang nagwawala.

‘‘Pero, sa tunay na buhay, kung sa akin nangyari ang nangyari kay Monica nang magkausap sila ni Nicole, sinagut-sagot pa siya nito, ewan kung ang ginawa lang ni Monica ang gagawin ko kay Nicole.

‘‘Baka, mag-amok pa kamo ako,’’ susog pa ni Matet.

She regrets na in three weeks time, mag-e-end na ang The Legal Wife. Mami-miss niya raw ang mga intense na eksenang nangyayari sa tuwing nagti-taping sila na halos araw-araw na raw nagaganap.

She’ll miss daw as well ang mga co-stars niya rito na wala raw siyang itulak-kabigin kung galing sa pag-arte ang pag-uusapan.

And their directors daw, sina direk Rory Quintos at Dado Lumibao, who make sure na maging realistic din ang kanilang mga eksena.
