Pasiyam ni Daboy, no coverage

Two days after he was laid to rest, dalawang okasyon ang ginugunita ngayong araw ng Linggo in honor of Rudy Fernandez by his bereaved family and friends.

Una, pumatak today ang pasiyam ni Kuya Rudy; at ikalawa, this is a toast to all the fathers in the world. Ang napiling venue ng pamilya’t mga kaibigan ng yumaong aktor ay ang mismong puntod nito sa Heritage Park.

However, family and friends have requested no media coverage of the twin event isang pakiusap na madali namang unawain since the past days had seen an unfortunate happening widely exposed in every  media outlet.

Meanwhile, naging maagap pala ang ABS-CBN during the last night of Kuya Rudy’s wake in buying the rights to the well-produced tribute by Airtime Marketing. Hindi pa man ito naipalalabas right after the Christian service ay bayad na ito making, of course, the Fernandez family as the beneficiary.

Partial payment was also reportedly made by ABS-CBN in its acquisition of Kuya Rudy’s movies, pero may labindalawa pa umanong natitirang unpaid films. Dinig ko, the transaction over the film rights transpired kahit nu’ng nasa ospital pa si Kuya Rudy, the collective amount of which was irresistible to decline.

Parang too good to be true ang rebelasyon ni Dingdong Dantes that he was already a Gran Matador (a local brandy) drinker even before its distillery got him to endorse the product. And why? It could be any other liquor, not  necessarily brandy, not necessarily local.

Pero sige, let’s give it to Dingdong, himself an occasional descendant of Bacchus who drinks to get relaxed. Ito rin daw ang alak that he uses as prop sa taping Dyesebel.

Simula ngayon, Sunday, mapapanood na ang TVC (TV commercial) ng Gran Matador which has two 15-second versions that underscore its key selling points “masarap,” “swabe” and “tuloy ang init.”

Huwag nang magtaka if such powerful words have sexual understones. After all, one of the gratifying benefits that a drinker can get from getting inebriated is increasing his sexual appetite.

With Dingdong embracing the passion for another  local brandy, wala ba kayong napapansin na ang dalawa niyang competing endorsers, Richard Gutierrez at Dennis Trillo, are also certified Kapuso stars?

Kunsabagay, a jigger or two of brandy is good for anyone’s puso. Undulge!
