Vilma Santos appeals to fans to stop bickering
STAR FOR All Seasons Vilma Santos had to gently put her foot down as she enjoined her supporters—and Noranians alike—to end their bickering shortly after they tied in the Best Actress category at the recently concluded Star Awards for Movies.
“Everything About Her,” while her for “Kabisera.”
Santos’ reaction [via a text message sent to our radio show “Cristy Ferminute” the other Monday] came in the wake of a Noranian’s text comment (from a certain Jojo) which read: “Narinigko‘yung nag- text sainyonaisang award langangnakuhani Ate Guy sa taongito. Correction! Lahatna natanggapnani Vilma sataongito, natanggapnani Ate Guy! Pakisabi mod’yansanag - text saiyona magkitakamiatmagbilanganng mga awards nina Ate Guy at Vilma, hindikosiyauurungan!”
The same texter sent an addendum, “Sabihinmosanag- text sa‘yona magkitakami,sapakannalangkamingdalawa,hindikosiyauurungan!”
If that Jojo wasn’t picking up a call it. Anyway, little did we know that Ate Vi was listening to CFM’s Monday edition all along.
She, too, shared her piece on the subject via a text message which calmly read, “Hi ’Te Cristy, Ronnie and Wendell, maraming-maramingsalamatpo. Vilmanians, Noranians, huwagnakayongmag-away. Magkaibigankamini Ate Guy… God bless, Vilmanians/Noranians. Mabuhaykayo!”
Knowing La Aunor, she would also have made the same earnest appeal most specially to that belligerent, if not barbaric fan!
GUESS WHO? Woe is a topearning male heartthrob (MH). It’s a known fact in showbiz that his parents got separated, and it was his mom who practically raised him amid, well, literal poverty.
Reveals our source, “There would be times when they couldn’t pay their electric bills, kayaang gagawinnamannu’ngbatangaktor (MH), he’d call his dad. “Pa, mapuputulankamingkuryente. Bakapuwedenghumingingpambayadsa‘yo’.”
But the dad—understandably with a newfound family—would often turn a deaf ear telling his son, “Eh,‘dimagpaypaykayo.”
Came the reversal of fortune. Because of sheer hard work—talent and looks to boot perfectly combined—in no time did the MH soar to fame.
Now the tables are turned. The MH’s regular phone caller is his dad who always has this standard (scripted?) opening line, “Anak,sahodmongapalangayon,bakanamanpuwedengmakahiritsa‘yo.”
Still grateful to his dad despite his shortcomings, the MH will uncomplainingly have money sent to his dad.
Poor rich kid. ONCE A Vignettes friend shared with a showbiz mom and her singer-daughter (SM/SD). The SD had a scheduled show in that part of the US with her SM chaperoning her all the way.
“Nalokaakosamag-inang ‘yun!” our source began recount “Mula palangkasisa departure area sa NAIA, kuntodonaka- disguise sila. Naka- hoodie silapareho,maysuot namalalaking shades as if naman, eh,pagkakaguluhansila! But they went unnoticed.”
While on board, the SM/ SD wouldn’t take off their hoodies and sunglasses. “Naku,patiba namanhanggangmag- touch down angeroplanosa LA, nakaganunpa rinsila?Maynakakakilalapabasa kanilahanggangdun?” our tipster annoyingly said.
Our source then realized it the last time he’d chance upon the SM/ SD in that eyebrowraising caper. “Unless all’s well again between the two of them. One thing’s for sure, it’s not going to be soon enough.”
