Young actress na si Xia lumayas na sa Star Magic

Child actress Xia Vigor at 10 years old and a grade four student (home study), is an interesting interviewee. She seems to know more than what she should.

For example, when asked why she decided to sign up with Viva Films after her contract with Star Magic expired, she replied: “Hindi po ako ang nag-decide, kung hindi ang mom ko (who is her talent manager).

“Since, as my mom, I know she always has the best interest for me and my only brother (who is 11 years old naman), I don’t want to question her decision.”

Both Xia and her brother were born on England, their British dad’s home place. Their mom is a Filipina, na nag-decide na bumalik ng Pilipinas, when she and her husband ay mag-divorced.

So ang tanong kay Xia: “What if her mom decide na mag-asawa uli?”

Xia sounding pleasant, replied: “Para sa akin whatever will make my mom happy, okay lang.”

Samantala, as of the moment, nakapirma na si Xia ng contract sa Viva Films, at pinag-uusapan na ang una niyang magiging project bilang opisyal na talent nito.

Xia was well-admired for her performance as Aga Muhlach’s young daughter sa Metro Manila Film Festival 2019 entry nila na Miracle In Cell No.7.

Miracle… directed by Direk Nuel Naval, from a script ni Mel del Rosario, is still showing in theaters nationwide.

Love Thy Woman, eere na!

How should a man love thy woman? Yan ang parehong tanong kina Xian Lim at Christopher de Leon na pawang magkasama bilang cast sa bagong serye ng ABS-CBN na Love Thy Woman.

“I will love her to the utmost, same with the second woman that will come into my life,” ani Christopher.

Gumaganap siya bilang Adam sa nasabing serye na isang Filipino-Chinese na nagmahal ng dalawang babae (Eula Valdez at Sunshine Cruz) kung saan nagkaroon din siya ng magkaibang anak (Yam Concepcion at Kim Chiu).

Wala sanang problema kung hindi lang naaksidente sa araw ng kasal niya si Jia (Yam) kay David (Xian Lim), na later ay magkakaroon ng kaugnayan kay Dana (Kim).

“Magaganda ang tagpo sa bawat eksena habang ang buong pamilya ay naghihintay sa paggaling ni Jia na na-comatose,” said someone with the production staff ng teleserye.

Tatlo ang direktor ng Love Thy…, ito ay sina Jeffrey Jeturian, Jerry Sineneng at Andoy Ranay.

Kasali rin sa casts sina Zsa Zsa Padilla at Ruffa Gutierrez.

Starring din sina Jana Victoria, Jennifer Sevilla, Chienna Filomeno at Mari Kaimo.

Magsisimula na ang Love Thy Woman bilang kapalit ng seryeng Kadenang Ginto.

Dina hindi napilit sa pagpupulitika

Isa raw who is trying to convince  Dina Bonnevie to run for a public office ay si Vilma Santos-Recto, Lipa City Congresswoman, para raw magkita sila tuwing may session. As married na nga naman siya to Ilocos Sur Representative Deogracias Savellano since 2012.

But as it is daw, ‘di raw feel ni Dina na maging politician. She’d rather be just wife of a politician.

She’d rather stay as an actress, too, and grateful siya na nakaka-arte pa rin daw siya hanggang ngayon.

Sa February, magsisimula nang mapanood ang serye niyang Anak Ni Waray Vs. Anak Ni Biday, kasama sina Barbie Forteza, Kate Valdez at Snooky Serna.

Personal…

Belated happy birthday greetings to Sir Kane Errol Choa, head of Corporate Communications, ABS-CBN, who just turned a year older. (Happy birthday Kane. – Salve)
