TINUPAD ng Regal Film ang pangakong movie para kay John Prats.

Not many people know this but tentative na noon si John na tanggapin ang Manay Po 2 kahit alam niyang maghi-hit ito.

Tama na raw kasi sa kanya ang mga dalawang baklang papel, ang Ako Legal Wife and the first Manay Po.

Handa na kami noon na baguhin ang kanyang character at palitan ito, pero with Mother Lily Monteverde's charm, napapa-yag siyang tanggapin ang movie.

May request lang si John kay Mother, na sana, ang next Regal Films mo-vie niya, straight na siya.

With Loving You opening Aug. 20, natupad na ni Mother Lily ang pangako niya kay John at hindi lang siya straight, napaka- sexy pa nga ng kanyang partner, si Ehra Madrigal.

John and Ehra joins the four-partner cast of the mo-vie directed by Don Cua-resma.

May premiere night ang movie on Aug. 17 sa SM Megamall.

TODAY, TV5 na ang da-ting ABC 5.

Kahapon nag-farewell signoff ang Cojuangco owned station na ABC 5, and sad to hear the whole ABC CORFAC headed by Ms. Terra Daffon and assisted by Ms. Jemma Ronquillo will say goodbye na rin.

Today, the said net-work will re-open, but under a new management and a new name. Balitang pag-aari na ito ng Malaysian network giant Prime Media and will now be called TV5.

Dahil advanced ito, will write na lang some inside information we know about the new shows of TV5 and it will be all drama and an-thology and music.

Wala kaming narinig na na-approve na sitcom and if you will notice too, mas mangingibabaw ang ta-lents ng ABS-CBN and Star Magic sa karamihan ng show with very few GMA actors at malamang na mawala pa in the future.

Sa amin na lang ang da-hilan kung bakit.

Dolphy could be the se-cond actor pa lang na magagawaran ng National Ar-tist for Film and Cinema.

May move na ngang i-nominate ang comedy king to be granted National Artist.

Now, starring with his heir apparent Vic Sotto sa Dobol Trobol Get Redi 2 Rambol ng RVQ Films, M-Zet Films and APT Entertainment under the direction of Tony Y. Reyes at magu- open nationwide this Aug. 13, now we know why his family has come up with an autobiography for him titled Hindi Ko Ito Nara-ting ng Nag-iisa.

Lima pa lang ang naga-gawaran ng National Artist award ng CCP and NC-CA, apat ang director at apat posthumous.

The list include posthumous awards for the late Lino Brocka, Ishmael Bernal, Gerry De Leon and Fernando Poe Jr. Tanging si Eddie Romero lang ang natanggap ang kaniyang award na buhay pa siya.

It would be nice if they gave this to the comedy king habang active pa rin siya sa showbiz. Wala na rin namang dapat mapatunayan si Dolphy.
