A glimpse of the rich & famous

MANILA, Philippines - Watch the GMA News TV’s Life and Style with Ricky Reyes on Saturday at 10 a.m. to get a glimpse of a life that is extravagant, beautiful yet simple.

Ricky (photo, left) explores how rich and famous personalities succeed in their respective fields yet maintain a grounded, respectable and charitable life.

Reyes spends a day with Rep. Cynthia Villar (right). “She is well-respected by her constituents who are beneficiaries of free education for out-of-school youth and livelihood training for unemployed women; yet she is a dutiful senator’s wife and doting mother to her children. We can call Rep. Cynthia as Wonder Woman,” he says.

Atoy Llave relates how he struggled as an automotive mechanic and he now designs and customizes vans and luxury vehicles for politicians and celebrities.

Sakay Na Sa Buhay Ni Atoy depicts a man whose dreams came true through perseverance, faith in God and hard work. Atoy helps unemployed mechanics fulfill their dreams, too.

Iloilo Mayor Leandro “Sandy” Javier Jr. used to be the black sheep in the family. He was almost always in trouble and is lucky to have parents who accorded him unconditional love and siblings Danny, George and Jimmy who are there to come to his rescue. Sandy has made a name in the food business via Andok’s Lechon Manok with branches nationwide that employ a thousand Filipinos. He is a no-nonsense chief who knows how to appreciate and rewards hardworking men and women.

Life and Style will visit Jacky Woo in his posh condominium in Eastwood, Libis. It is good to hear from Woo the reason why he enjoys living in the country and his own way of helping Filipinos. Also watch Makeover Magic with beauty aids courtesy of Natasha.
