Usap-usapan kung paanong umasta sa set ng kanyang kasalukuyang ginagawang series ang isang aktres na ’di naman masasabing outstanÂding kung performance ang pag-uusapan. At lalong ’di na masasabing nasa kanyang prime pa, kung edad ang pag-uusapan.
But as a performer, she is in demand lalo’t sa network na kanyang kinabibilangan. One of the privileged na ini-enjoy niya, may ‘‘cut-off’’ time, meaning, kung ilang oras lang siya puwedeng magtrabaho. She makes sure that this is followed to the letter.
Since she is a professional, she naturally comes to the set on time. Nakaayos na and ready for a take, wika nga, anytime the director says so.
But sometimes, as what usually happens, not every star na kanyang makaÂkaeksena for a scene, halimbawa, ay nakararaÂting on time.
Actually, ’di mo naman siya mariringgang magreklamo. Basta she stays in her corner, nagbabasa o kaya umiidlip.
Always, too, when called na to face the camera, she is up and about. And often naman, she delivers a ‘‘one take’’ performance.
Now, here’s the rub, an hour before her supposed cut-off time, nagsisimula nang mag-empake ng kanilang kagamitan ang kanyang assistant. And once her time is up, wika nga, she bids everyone goodbye without bothering to know if nakunan lahat ng eksenang nakatakdang kunan for the day.
No clue, Salve A., except that soon, she will be doing her first movie after her decision to stage a comeback.
Ang tanong is, if magde-demand din siya ng kanyang cut-off time in her shooting, at kung pagbibigyan siya.
Abangan.
Andeng at Gov. Junjun proud na proud sa pagiging Snow White ng anak
Busy man sina Rizal Governor Junjun Ynares and his pretty wife the former Andeng Bautista, younger sister ni Sen. Bong Revilla, Jr., sa kanilang pangangampanya in Antipolo, Rizal where the goverÂnor is running for the mayoralty seat this time, they both purposely took time to attend a school program na participant ang kanilang five-year-old daughter na si Cassandra, o Cass for short.
Cass, a pre-schooler, played bida na as little Snow White in the school presentation. Proud na proud si Andeng nang sabihin niyang pakiwari nila ni Gov. Junjun, si Cass na ang pinakamagandang bata in the whole auditorium that moment.
Cass portrayed her role to the hilt. Akala mo, professional, sabi nila.
With acting, sabi nga, running in her blood, will she consent to have Cass act in films like when she (Andeng) was her age?
‘‘Junjun and I will encourage her and her sister, Via, to focus their attention on their studies.
‘‘Ako noon, kahit enjoy ako sa pag-aartista, my dad (Ramon Revilla, Sr., former senator and action star) discouraged me from continuing with my career. He advised me to continue with my studies.
Andeng and Gov. Junjun were classmates at a medical school in Dasmariñas, Cavite.
While Gov. Junjun eventually became a professional doctor, Andeng chose to finish another course.
