Award-winning actress, milyonarya na sa Amerika

Author: Nel Alejandrino

MAS pinili na nga siguro, Ian F. , ng isang napakaganda at award-winning actress na mapanatiling discreet ang kanyang pagdating mula sa Amerika, where she's now based with her foreigner husband and family, ganundin ang kanyang pag-alis, when she returned home, allegedly to attend the wedding ng kanyang anak sa isang namayapa nang actor.

In America, ang mga kababayan nating naka-kaalam tungkol sa tunay niyang kalagayan doon, they all unanimously say that she is really wallowing in wealth. And the filthy rich family of her husband, who is in the manufacturing and distribution of a line of canned goods known all the world over, just love her and her only son (by a doctor), her only child among her three na dala niya.

Well-appreciated naman pala ni Diether Ocampo, Ian F. , ang "pag-aalagang" ginawa sa kanya ng dating misis na si Kristine Hermosa, when he reportedly suffered a seizure, when along with other Star Magic talents, na kinabibilangan din nila ni Kristine, they had a performance sa U. S.

He would have done the same gesture to her din daw, kung halimbawang ito ang nangangailangan ng tulong. After all, 'di puwedeng 'di sabihing wala silang pinagsamahan dahil meron naman talaga kasi naging sila rin noon.

He is happy for whatever Kristine has achieved for herself now, personal and otherwise. Walang dahilan daw para 'di sila manatiling magkaibigan ng mahabang panahon.

In his case, Diether admits he has gone a long way in his more than a decade sa showbiz. Actually, he has built up himself not just as an actor but a businessman and public servant as well.

His KIDS (Kabataang Inyong Dapat Suportahan) Foundation has become a passion to him. He tries injecting in the minds of the kids who are part of the foundation na 'di hadlang ang pagiging mahirap para mangarap na umasenso ka sa buhay.

Inamin ni Diether na maaga niyang kinailangang bumanat ng buto para lang makapag-aral and at the same time, makatulong sa kanyang pamilya.

Do you know na bago siya sumabak ng showbiz, Diether served as a bartender sa isang kilalang bar and restaurant sa Morato, Quezon City?

By the way, another advocacy ni Diether ay ang PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals).

As an actor, Diether has proved his worth many times. He considers himself lucky, dahil halos lahat na ng klase ng roles ay kanyang nagampanan.

Among his most memorable films are Nasaan Ka Man (where he pitted talent with Claudine Barretto, Jericho Rosales, Hilda Koronel at Gloria Diaz); Jologs (John Prats and Vhong Navarro) and Soltera where he played leading man to both Maricel Soriano and Claudine.

His teleserye included Iisa Pa Lamang, Maligno, Princess Sarah and Margarita.

Diether agrees, though, that his current series, Only You, with Angel Locsin and Sam Milby, appears to have the formula that captivated the heart of millions of televiewers.

"Tumataba ang puso ko kapag people, who are not even known to me, approach me and refer to me as 'best. ' Nangangahulugan kasi na nanonood sila ng Only You, as 'best' is the endearing way Angel and I call each other," ang nakangiting saad ni Diether.

Diether feels equally as happy for Angelica Panganiban, with whom he played a husband na hindi in love sa kanyang asawa in the series Iisa Pa Lamang.

"She's a brilliant actress," Diether said of Angelica. "When you are in a scene with her, you need to make sure that you are prepared for the scene na kukunan. Otherwise, tiyak lalamunin ka niya. "

Diether said he's not at all surprise that Angelica is finally getting the good breaks she deserves. He knows that she topbills a teleserye, Rubi.

Star Cinema's Metro Manila Filmfest offering for this year, I Love You... Goodbye, co-stars her with Gabby Concepcion, Kim Chiu and real-life boyfriend, Derek Ramsey.

In Banana Split, her gag show on ABS-CBN, allows her the chance of her kakaibang talent bilang impersonator. She is just lovable as she impersonates Kris Aquino (with Jayson Gainza as Boy Abunda) in the SNN (Showbiz News Ngayon) parody NNNN.

"I always have a good laugh, kapag umarte na si Angel na Kris.

"Ang galing niya talaga. "
