Now that Camille Prats is a mother in real life, is she ready to play mother roles?
“Hmmmm. I guess okay lang kung mother to a baby as little as my son, Nathaniel Ceasar Linsangan (born last Jan. 24 in LA),” said Camille who got married to her boyfriend (and childhood friend) Anthony Linsangan, 28, last Jan. 5 in the same city. “Huwag naman po nanay ng grown-up child na,” added Camille with a laugh.
Motherhood has changed Camille, 22, who admitted that she has now become less adventurous and more careful.
“Before, I thought only of myself. Now, my priority is Nathaniel, how to prepare and plan for his future.”
Camille is ready to return to work (in a GMA show) by May. In June, she will open a pre-school, with her as head. While in the States, she finished a course in Montessori Method. She’ll call her school Divine Angels Montessori. (Note: For inquiries, call landlines 655-5551 and 986-5487 or celfon 0917-8972267.)

Project 1 singers’ identities revealed
These past few weeks, the Funfare “musical” DPA has been dishing out by installment juicy items about members of different bands bonding together (but not actually “transferring”) to try out something new which turned out to be a song called Ang Sarap Dito which is about happiness and positive values, now heard in Metro Manila’s top radio stations. The singers recorded the song as a group called Project 1.
But no, the Project 1 members are not staying together for long and will soon return to their respective home bands.
According to Raimund Marasigan, lead vocalist of Sandwich and one of the Project 1 members, “We never really left our bands. We all just worked on this song for the youth. The song invites young people to live in the happy, positive side of life. Public response to the song is overwhelming.”
The other members of Project 1 are Katwo Puertollano of Narda, Carlos Calderon of Chicosci, Francis Reyes of The Dawn, Clem Castro of Camera Walls, Uela Basco of Chillitees and Jazz Nicolas of Itchyworms.
Said Katwo, “Ang Sarap Dito is actually saying, ‘Let us go do something about our lives!’”
Said Carlos, “Just be happy because you can be young only once.”
Added Raimund, “As musicians, I believe that we have the best job in the world. Not everybody has the chance to do the thing he loves best and at the same time inspire kids everywhere.”
So when can we hear the Project 1 guys sing Ang Sarap Dito “live”?
“Soon, very soon,” assured the Funfare DPA, hinting that the song is a promo for a popular drink.
“You will know which one also soon.”
