Nagdiriwang ng kanyang ika-apatnapung taong anibersaryo sa show business si Martin Nievera ngayong taon. Matatandaang kamakailan ay muling pumirma ng kontrata ang Concert King sa ABS-CBN. Kahit walang prangkisa ay mas pinili umanong manatili ni Martin sa Kapamilya network. “There’s not even an offer. And even if there was, ABS-CBN is my last woman. I’ve been offered many times, lots of money. Maybe I’m an idiot for being so loyal but somewhere down the road, it’s gonna pay off. It’s going to teach younger artists that fame and fortune are temporary. Loyalty is forever,” makahulugang pahayag ni Martin.
Hindi raw nakikita ng singer ang sarili na magtatrabaho pa sa ibang TV network. “No one knows what we’ve been through. There’s not a day in our life when we’re not fighting for each other. There’s no other station that I can even imagine that has that kind of love,” giit niya.
Ngayong Sabado ay magaganap na sa Solaire ang M4D Martin 4 Decades concert ng singer. Bahagi ito ng selebrasyon ng pananatili ng Concert King sa industriya sa loob ng apat na dekada. “Staying power is the power to stay. In my case, I don‘t have the power that makes me stay. I have the power of wanting to stay. I try to enjoy every day that comes my way. I’m just happy to still be in the game,” pagtatapos ng singer.
Iana, ayaw gamitin ang pangalan ng inang si Angel
Hindi ginamit ni Iana Bernardez ang apelyido ng inang si Angel Aquino nang sumabak din sa show business simula noong 2017. Para sa dalaga ay mas mabuting makilala siya ng mga manonood bilang isang magaling na aktres at hindi lamang nakadikit sa pangalan ng ina. “It’s such an honor to be her daughter. The pressure balances it out when others find out. I’ve lived with her all my life. Of course as a daughter, I also want to create and build my own identity. But she always advises me to own the space when I’m in the scene,” pagbabahagi ni Iana.
Ang aktres ang leading lady ni Christian Bables sa pelikulang Mahal Kita Beksman na napapanood na ngayon sa mga sinehan. Hindi umano nahirapan si Iana sa mga eksenang ginawa nila ni Christian na gumaganap bilang isang bading sa naturang proyekto. “Very cute and we are in a sweet stage, kami ni Dolly (baklang karakter ni Christian). I was thinking tatawid kaya ‘yung kilig namin. When you’re there, you will look at the person. That’s when you’ll get attracted. That’s when you’ll fall in love. Sabi nga ni direk Percy (Intalan), ‘Love is love is love.’ You’ll fall in love with how they are kind to you, how they take care of you. Anyone with a kind of soul can do that. As flamboyant as Dolly or super macho like my brothers in the film. Basta marunong magmahal, kayang magbigay at tumanggap ng love, hindi mahirap magmahal,” paglalahad ng aktres.
