More than just the lessons she learned, kumbaga, the pains and heartaches a mistress need to suffer, while playing a kabit in the movie, Etiquette for Mistresses, na-realize rin ni Kim Chiu na being a lounge singer even in a supposed posh establishment is not an easy job either. Which is the role she played before she became a mistress sa pelikula. “You easily became subject to sexual harassment, samantalang ang gusto ko lang naman ay maghanap-buhay.’’
But it cannot be denied that in her role bilang kabit to a guy, married to an ambitious politician, Kim proved a natural. She owes, aniya, to their director, Chito Roño, na tumutok talaga sa kanya, tuwing mabigat ang kanyang eksena.
‘‘I want to thank too, my co-stars in the movie, who were all equally patient with me, since ang role ko had the chance to connect with all of them.
‘‘Especially kay Ate Kris (Aquino), who convinced me to do the movie,’’ pahayag pa ni Kim.
Produced ay Star Cinema, the other stars of Etiquette… are Claudine Barretto, Cheena Crab, and Iza Calzado.

Miles parang si Billy na rin sa kabisihan
Wow, maabutan na ni Miles Ocampo, 18, si Billy Crawford bilang pinaka-abalang Kapamilya talent.
Billy, who now has three shows na hinu-host every week, It’s Showtime, daily, except Sundays, Your Face Sounds Familiar, Saturdays and Sundays, and the new Celebrity Playmate, every Saturday, is considered the busiest among his contemporaries.
Well, wait natin kapag nagsimula na ang series ni Miles na And I Love You So, with Julia Barretto at Iñigo Pascual, and she will be an extra mile ahead of her fellow Goin’ Bulilit graduates.
At katulad ni Billy, tatlu-tatlo na rin ang kanyang regular shows.
Saturdays kasi ay napapanood si Miles sa Home Sweetie Home, top-billed by John Lloyd Cruz at Toni Gonzaga. Ang Luv U naman, co-starring her with her fellow former Goin’ Bulilit mainstays, is aired Sundays, before Goin’ Bulilit.
