Nagsusunog ng kilay, Jodi dose oras sa isang araw ang klase!

One day a week lang pala ang klase ni Jodi Sta. Maria sa Southville International, kung saan siya enrolled in BS Psychology.

Don’t look now, pero 8:00 am to 8:00 pm ang pasok niya tuwing Tuesday.

Alam daw din ito ng ABS-CBN, kaya pag Monday, habang nagte-taping siya for her upcoming series, Sana Dalawa Ang Puso Ko, the production staff make sure na maaga niyang natatapos ang kanyang mga eksenang kukunan. Alam kasi nila na may pasok siya the following day.

Kahit ang kanyang mga co-star, particularly sina Robin Padilla at Richard Yap, kahit sina Christopher de Leon,  Edgar Mortiz, Buboy Garovillo, among others ay nauunawaan siya.

No matter what daw, Jodi wants to finish medicine, na kanyang ultimate childhood dream.

E, papano ang kanyang anak na si Thirdy, now 10 years old, naasikaso pa ba niya ang bata?

“Yes,” sagot ni Jodi, “may bonding time rin kami. At siya mismo ay ini-encourage sa aking galingan ko ang aking pag-aaral, lalo nang malaman niyang nasa dean’s list ako.

“If there is one person na gusto kong maipagmalaki ako, ito ay si Thirdy,” ani Jodi.

Not to say, of course, that she also wants boyfriend Cavite Vice Governor Jolo Revilla, to feel proud of her.

Jolo binubuyong mag-pelikula uli

Of Vice Jolo, he too, is polishing and updating his political knowledge by having a private tutor.

Marami rin siyang good advisers, kung ang political career niya ang pag-uusapan.

Ani Vice Jolo: “I’m doing this not just for myself but for my constituents.

“I want to serve them well.”

Samantala, marami sa kanyang constituents ang nagsasabi na sana ay gumawa siya ng isang movie.

Ang tagal na raw ng huling mapanood nila si Vice Jolo lalo’t sa big screen.

“Well, pag-aaralan ko ‘yan,” ani Vice Jolo. “And I will, of course, ask the advice of my dad (referring to former Senator Bong Revilla).

“And, perhaps, puwedeng i-donate ko ang part ng kikitain ko sa ilang proyekto na iniisip ko para sa probinsya ng Cavite.”

Well, goodluck, Vice Jolo.

Julie Anne nag-bloom kay Benjamin

Ang laki talaga ng iginanda ng tinaguriang Asia’s Pop Sweetheart na si Julie Anne San Jose.

Kung sabagay, in love ang dalaga sa kasalukuyan sa Kapuso talent na si Benjamin Alves, we heard.

At  ‘di nga ba, may kasabihang kapag in love ang isang babae, 110 percent siyang gumaganda.

Julie Anne together with Asia’s Songbird, Regine Velasquez, and Christian Bautista, will be holding a concert in Saturday, January 20, at the Waterfront Hotel and Casino in Cebu City.

The event is part of the yearly Sinulog Festival in Cebu City.

Personal…

Happy birthday kina Mario Bautista and Joebarr, or Joe Barrameda sa mga hindi niya masyadong ka-close, who are both a year older today (Ja­nuary 19) . (Happy birthday Tito Mario and Joebarr. Cheers! – SVA)

Joebarr, we need to congratulate him, too, for again having been reelected as President of the Philip­pine Movie Press Club (PMPC).
