Para sa mga senior audience na nanood ng nearly five hours Christmas concert na inihandog ng ABS-CBN na ginanap sa Araneta Coliseum noong Tuesday (December 11), very significant ang pag-appear together nina Edu Manzano at Maricel Soriano onstage. Talking and ribbing each other pa man din.
Former husband and wife ang dalawa at ang tagal na nilang ‘di nagkikita. Sad to say, sina Maricel and Edu ay walang anak.
Edu, as we all know ay may anak kay Lipa Representative Vilma Santos-Recto, ito ay si Luis Manzano na isa nang sikat na TV host ngayon.
Nagpakasal sina Edu and Ate Vi sa U.S. habang ginagawa ang pelikulang Romansa. Divorced na ang dalawa nang magpakasal naman sina Edu at Maricel.
Edu had two other children, another son and a daughter with his former partner, Rina Samson.
Maricel has two sons naman, both of whom are parehong malalaki na at nakatapos na rin ng pag-aaral at may kanya-kanya nang pinagkakaabalahan.
Maricel’s appearance in the program was no doubt special. In the case of Edu, he was presented onstage first with the cast of the series of FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano, headed by Coco Martin.
Like Coco, nagpakitang gilas din sa pagsasayaw si Edu.
Again, obviously marami ang nakakaalam na bago nakilala bilang actor-politician si Edu, he was first a ramp model at mahusay magsayaw.
Now, so much for the memories, Salve A.
Toni producer din sa Mary, Marry Me
Isa rin pala sa producer at nag-conceptualize si Toni Gonzaga ng Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2018 entry nila na Mary, Marry Me, starring her for the first time with sister, Alex Gonzaga.
Toni’s director-husband, Paul Soriano is just releasing the film for his own productions, Ten17P. Mula ito sa direksyon ni RC delos Reyes.
Sam Milby plays the sole leading man of the sisters.
Asked who between Tony and Alex he ended up with, itinuro ni Sam si Toni sabay turo naman siya kay Alex.
Alex’s reaction: Bakit ako?
