Patrick makikisawsaw na sa pantasya nina Albert at Yen

Guess kung sino ang bagong dagdag sa cast of the afternoon daily (weekdays) series, All Of Me, kung saan kasama sa cast sina Albert Martinez, Yen Santos, Ahron Villaflor, Neri Naig, Ana Capri and Yam Concepcion.

Former child actor Patrick Garcia, that’s who.

Matagal ding parang, kumbaga, nawala sa eskena si Patrick, since after his last series, Two Wives, hindi na siya nabigyan ng next project.

Kung sabagay, ikinasal siya sa kanyang long-time girlfriend na si Nikka Martinez, with whom he has a love child, Chelsea.

Patrick, we all know has also another love child with Jennylyn Mercado, Alex Jazz, now six years old.

Isa sa napaka-memorable na eksena sa kasalang Garcia-Martinez wedding ay ang pagiging ring bearer ni Alex Jazz at Chelsea bilang flower girl.

Of Patrick’s role in All of Me, which is fantasy, hindi pa pwedeng i-describe thoroughly ang character na kanyang ginagampanan. But from the looks of it, Patrick said, maganda ito.

If not challenging, tulad ng kina Albert at Ahron.

He wants to keep himself busy this year, as he wants to secure the future of his family, he said.

Daniel mahusay na sa Tagalog

Bitbit ni Karen Dematera, comedienne and plays a close friend ni Erich Gonzales in the soon-to-air series, Be My lady, ang guwapo niyang boyfriend, na isang Australyano, ayon sa kanya.

Which is what she has in common with Erich, whose boyfriend naman, former Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) big winner, Daniel Matsunaga, is a Brazilian-Japanese.

Erich ang Daniel are the lead stars of Be My lady, which is produced by Business Unit head, Direk Ruel Bayani.

Now fluent in Tagalog, Daniel says parang true-to-life, in his case, ang start ng kuwento na Be My lady. Talagang sa unang pagkikita pa lamang daw nila ni Erich, sa set ng series na Two Wives, where he was introduced, ay na “starstruck” na siya sa dalaga.

Hence forth, hindi na niya ito tinigilan.

Well, in Be My Lady, Daniel plays Phil, who was supposedly born and grew up in Singapore, kaya may pagka-aggressive even in the way he treats wo­men.

But in Pinang (Erich), nata­tameme siya, para kumbaga, ma-win ang very conservative and very reserved Pinay.

Itinuturing ni Direk Theodore Boborol na highlight ng series ang mga eksenang nililigawan ni Phil si Pinang.

Others in the cast of Be My Lady, which is set to air January 18, are Yayo Aguila, Almira Muhlach, Yves Flores, Devon Seron, Karen Reyes and Al Tantay.

A pleasant surprise is the appearance together for the first time nina Janice de Belen at Priscilla Meirelles, yes, the former Miss Earth, who is now the better-half of actor John Estrada, who was once married to Janice.

Janice plays the mom ni Erich, samantalang mother naman to Daniel si Priscilla.

Al gusto ring mag-direk

Speaking naman of Al, he plays Dad to Erich.

In real life, lahat pala ng anak ni Al ay pawang babae. The two elder ones are his daughters by his first wife, Rio Locsin.

Isa na lamang sa kanyang mga anak ang hindi pa tapos ng college.

And, thank God, he added, lahat ng mga anak niyang mga college graduates ay may mga trabaho na.

Non-stop ang projects na ginagawa ni Al, who excels both in drama and comedy.

But guess kung ano ang foremost wish niya for this New Year?

Ang makapag-direk ng either a series or a movie.

By the way, Al is a good director, too.
