Chesca, may mga paalala sa anak sa pakikipagrelasyon

Maglalabing-apat na taong gulang na ang panganay na anak nina Chesca Garcia at Doug Kramer na si Kendra sa Hunyo.

Ayon sa dating aktres ay napag-uusapan na nila ngayon ng dalagita ang tungkol sa pagkakaroon ng crush at pakikipagrelasyon. “It’s being generous also with explaining to our children. I always tell Kendra, ‘It’s normal to admire someone. Maybe you can admire their looks, their intelligence, how good they are in sports. But it doesn’t mean that you’re really ready to be in a relationship, or that’s already a crush.’ Kasi you have to be able to differentiate at your age a crush or wanting to be in a relationship. But I always tell her, one day, that time will come when you’re ready, when you have accomplished what you need to accomplish, when you’re spiritually, emotionally matured. So, it takes so much more than that,” paliwanag ni Chesca.

Matatandang labing-isang taong gulang pa lamang noon nang magsimula sa show business ang aktres.

Hindi raw sang-ayon sina Chesca at Doug na sumabak din sa pag-aartista si Kendra sa murang edad. “We always tell her that we don’t want her childhood to be robbed in such a way wherein we’d see that time will come. But right now, she should enjoy being young, going to school, experiencing all the things that she’s experiencing right now, friends, sports, all of these things. Because I entered showbiz when I was 11 and I really tried to do it all, to do show business, to do schooling, to do sports, but it’s really impossible.

“And something there will be sacrificed. And speaking by experience, I was telling her that. ‘You know, I wish that I had stayed longer in doing probably my schooling, my sports and everything. I think your time and season is here to study and enjoy first being a kid, enjoy first figuring things out on your own. Because that part will come later on, when you’re really ready. When you’re really ready emotionally.’ That’s a commitment, once you start, you can stop,” paglalahad ng aktres.

Sa ngayon ay labing-isang taong gulang na ang pangalawang anak nina Chesca at Doug na si Scarlet habang 10 taong gulang naman ang bunsong si Gavin.

RK, tanggap na hindi pang-first choice

Simula April 8 ay mapapanood na sa mga sinehan ang Kahit Maputi Na Ang Buhok Ko (The Music of Rey Valera) na pinagbibidahan ni RK Bagatsing.

Marami ang pumuri sa aktor sa naganap na advanced screening kamakailan dahil sa magaling na pagganap bilang si Rey. “Sobrang nakakataba ng puso kasi nagre-react sila sa bawat eksena, bawat kanta. And ‘pag may pinaghihirapan kang bagay tapos nare-recognize ng iba, siyempre masarap sa pakiramdam,” nakangiting pahayag ni RK.

Alam ng aktor na hindi siya ang unang gusto ng OPM icon na gumanap para sa naturang Metro Manila Summer Film Festival entry.

Hindi naman daw ito naging hadlang at sa halip ay lalong pinagbuti ni RK ang trabaho. “Alam ko po ‘yon and thankful ako kahit paano na naiisip nila ang pangalan ko kapag may roles na ganyan. Karamihan naman ng roles ko, ‘di naman ako first priority or first choice and it doesn’t matter. Grateful ako kahit paano sinusuwerte at napagkakatiwalaan sa ganitong klaseng proyekto,” pagbabahagi ng binata.
