Anak ni Edu, hiwalay na sa nobya

Guess who we had a short talk with, Salve A., when we attended the renewal of vows nina Antipolo Mayor Jun Ynares and his wife, the former Andeng Bautista?

Cheska Mendiola, that’s who.

Cheska is one of the daughters of Andeng’s elder sister, Rowena, who is married to Boyet Mendiola.

Na-link si Cheska kay Enzo Manzano, younger half-brother ni Luis Manzano. Enzo, and Luis’ Dad, of course, is actor-TV host and now a Senatorial candidate, Edu Manzano.

While Luis’ mom is Batangas Governor Vilma Santos, ang mother naman ni Enzo ay si Rina Samson.

Well, sa maikling pakikipag-usap namin kay Cheska, pahapyaw niyang sinabi na break na sila ni Enzo, although, they have remained friends.

Asked why?

Ayaw nang magsalita ni Cheska.

Mayor Jun Ynares at asawa, muling ikinasal

Of the occasion involving Mayor Jun and Andeng, napakasimple ng okasyon, although napaka-endearing. Feel na feel ng small crowd invited to the event how the two of them still love each other.

Only this time, may dalawa na silang daughters, sina Cassandra at Via, ages eight and seven, respectively. They acted as flower-girls sa wedding ng kanilang mama at papa.

The ceremony, officiated by Pastor Peter Kairuz, was held at the residence of Mayor Jun’s pa­rents, former Rizal Governor Ito Ynares, and incumbent Rizal Governor, Mini Ynares, sa Valle Verde in Pasig City.

Zanjoe palihim na nanonood sa premiere ng mga pelikula ni Bea

Dumalo kaya ang respective loved ones nina John Lloyd Cruz at Bea Alonzo sa premiere ng kanilang pelikulang A Second Chance on Tuesday sa Megamall?

We are referring, of course, to Lloydie’s current one and only, Angelica Panganiban, and Bea’s boyfriend, Zanjoe Marudo.

Makailang ulit na naming nakakasabay na dumadalo si Zanjoe sa premiere ng movie ni Bea. But obviously, para hindi na maka-agaw-pansin, ‘di siya sumasabay sa pagpasok nina Bea and her co-stars sa sinehan.

‘Di rin siya tumatabi rito sa sinehan. At tumatalilis na rin siya, bago pa man maglabasan ang mga tao.

Talk about someone who knows how to observe good manners and right conduct and we have Zanjoe.

Bea aminadong nahirapan nang ‘ikasal’

Of her performance as Basha in A Second Chance, feel ni Bea, the viewers, who have seen her as Basha in One More Chance, will surely analyze how she has evolved, since suppo­sedly nga naman eight years have passed mula nang sila’y magpakasal ni Popoy (John Lloyd).

‘‘Maniwala kayo o hindi, nahirapan ako,’’ pag-amin ni Bea. ‘‘At ganu’n din siguro si John Lloyd.

‘‘In my case, I’d tried to analyze, too, kung ano ang mga changes na naganap sa akin as a person. At nagtanung-tanong din ako sa mga kaibigan lalo na ’yong mga married na for less than 20 years.

‘‘At ito ang pinagsama ko in playing Basha in A Second Chance.

‘‘But I had to discuss it first, siyempre, with Direk Cathy (Garcia-Molina),” ani Bea, referring, of course, to Direk Cathy, who helmed A Second Chance and directed too, One More Chance.

Bea is now on her 15th year in showbiz. A Second Chance is her eight movie with John Lloyd as a love team.

Their first team-up was in Close To You.
