Merry-go-round ang istoryang Jean-Polo

Jean Garcia’s choice of venue na pinagdausan ng kanyang birthday par­ty Friday night was apt, formerly Vir­gin Café, ginanap ’yon sa Dolce. Dol­ce (pro­nounced dol’che) is an Ital­­ian word that means sweet and soft.

At kung ang pagbabatayan ay kap­wa ikinikilos nila ni Polo Ravales, ka­kala­wangin na ang abused phrase na “what you see is what you get.”

My source, identified with both Jean and Polo, failed to make it to the party, pero nakakuha pa rin ako ng im­por­masyon mula sa kanya. Isa raw ka­sing kaibigan niya ang naka­kita kina Polo at Jean having lunch at Max’s Restaurant along Tomas Morato last Tuesday (August 19) three days before Jean’s celebration.

Over lunch with friends ay ipinamamarali raw ng dalawa na split na sila, only to see them “dolce” with each other here days later, sa party nga ni Jean. This same source tip­ped off that in fact, Polo is seeing another girl. But to this day though, wala pa ring iniisyu sina Jean at Polo na flat confirmation nor outright denial tungkol sa kanila.

Ang alam ko sa December pa ope­rational ang mga rides sa Star City but for so many months now, Jean and Polo have been taking us all for such a boring ride.

Bukod kay direk Mark Reyes who stood as one of her child’s god­parents, abut-abot din ang pasasala­mat ni Sheree kay Cesar Apolinario who gave her a role in his first indie film. Given barely two weeks, sinimulan at tinatapos na ni direk ang pelikulang Puntod, where Sheree is in the lead cast.

Papel na isang mapang-api sa mga bata ang ginagampanan ni Sheree, a role she regards as off-beat yet chal­lenging dahil higit daw niyang na-realize ngayon that the young have to be well taken care of most specially that she now plays mom to three- month-old Gian Haley, her child by Gian Mag­dangal.

On the set daw of Puntod, hindi maialis ni Sheree na isiping iniiwan muna niya si Haley sa halinhinang pangangalaga ni Gian.

“Pero kailangan kong mag­tra­baho,” she confesses. Ito ma­ra­hil ang pinagbasehan ng ku­makalat na intrigang hindi sinu­suportahan ni Gian ang kan­yang brand new family, such talks na mariing pina­bulaanan ng dalawa.

Truth is, kabilang sa ma­ra­ming raket ni Gian ay mga corporate shows. At in­tindido ni Sheree na dala­wang pa­milya ang binabali­kat nito. With that, sana’y mailibing na rin sa puntod ang mga ga­­­ni­­tong tsismis out to dis­ho­n­or the Mag­dangal couple.
