AT the presscon for Sarah Geronimo last Thursday guess who most writers and TV reporters wanted to talk to: Lolit Solis. And Lolit didn't disappoint, answering all their queries about Hayden Kho and Dr. Vicki Belo. She said Hayden called her last Tuesday crying profusely as he requested her to stop answering his mom back on TV as his dad is already sick. "Pinagsisisihan na raw ng nanay niya ang mga sinabi nito sa TV," says Lolit. "Kasi lalong nadiin si Hayden dahil sa sinabi ng nanay niyang tinuruan siya ni Katrina gumamit ng drugs. O ayan, pinatawag tuloy silang mag-ina ng PDEA (Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency). "

Lolit says Hayden is really an insecure person. "Kasi maliit pa raw siya, sinasabihan ng ina ang sariling anak na hindi ito magaling, hindi marunong kumanta and kung anu-ano pang discouraging comments kaya nawalan ng confidence si Hayden sa sarili dahil sarili niyang nanay, parang hindi happy sa kanyang achievements. Mismong si Dra. Belo ang nagsabi na akala lang ng tao na mayabang si Hayden dahil sa tindig nito but the truth is punumpuno ito ng insecurities sa katawan dahil nga mismong nanay niya, hindi bilib sa kanya. Pero anong nangyayari ngayon? Ibang tao ang sinisisi ng nanay niya sa nangyayari sa pamilya nila. Tapos pati ako, sinabihang kumanta na raw ako sa alam ko. Hoy, kung ang pamilya nila, mahilig kumanta, wag na nila ako idamay at hindi ako singer, no?"

She said she really pities Dr. Belo who's blinded by her love for Hayden. "Si Vicki ang nagbabayad ngayon sa lawyer ni Hayden and they got a PR firm para i-damage control siya. Sinabi ko sa anak niyang si Crystalle, mahal ko ang nanay mo, pero hindi ko mate-take si Hayden. E, sila rin ang nagkuwento sa'kin na P4 million ang utang ng family ni Hayden kay Vicki. Isinama ni Vicki at Hayden ang nanay nito sa U. S. First trip niya sa U. S. kaya tuwang-tuwa. Pero pagdating sa customs, nahuli dahil ang laman ng maleta, puro fake na Louis Vuitton bags na ipampasalubong daw sa mga kamag-anak nila sa U. S. O ayun, nakumpiska na lahat ng fake bags, na-detain pa sila. Ngayon, ang dami pang nagbo-volunteer sa'kin ng information about their family sa Marinduque. Naku, hindi ko na lang ikukuwento dahil tiyak na mas masho-shock kayo at hindi na kayo magtataka kung bakit ganun ang behavior ni Hayden. "

JENNYLYN: WALA AKONG NAKITA
Jennylyn Mercado says her role as Lissa in "Paano Ba ang Mangarap" is one of the best roles she ever played. As a young mother who defies her imperious mother-in-law Donya Francia (Bing Loyzaga) and fights for her son, she is made to portray an entire gamut of emotions that further challenged her talent as an actress. Now, the show will have its final week starting this Monday. Lissa is imprisoned through the machinations of Donya Francia and the evil Maya (Chynna Ortaleza) who then order an inmate to kill her. Will Lissa survive and be reunited with her estranged husband Eric (Mark Herras)? Don't miss the nerve-shattering climax of "Paano Ba ang Mangarap. "

Meantime, GMA-7 gave a thanksgiving lunch for the show. We asked Jen if it's true she witnessed Baron Geisler's harrassment of Yasmien Kurdi on the set of "Suspetsa"? "Actually, nagulat nga akong nasangkot ang name ko diyan kasi wala naman akong nakita," she says. "No one has really interviewed me about it at, sa totoo lang, wala akong alam diyan. Hindi ko alam kung bakit may lumabas na ganyan na ako raw ang witness. Napanood na lang namin ni Nadine Samonte sa news na nagreklamo nga raw si Yasmien. Wala naman kaming nakita kasi separate ang taping namin sa story nila ni Baron. Sila ang magkaeksena kasi sila ang mag-boyfriend dito. Kaya kung ako ang tatanungin, wala talaga akong alam. Ni hindi ko rin alam kung kasama pa si Baron sa show o inalis na. "

Will she have a new soap after "Paano"? "I don't know, sana. Pero itong 'Suspetsa', eight weeks ito, e, so may work pa rin ako. But I'm doing a new movie, 'Gabriela Silang,' where I'll play the title role. I have to train sa horseback riding kasi nangangabayo raw si Gabriela. My training starts first week of June then we'll shoot June 22. I read the script na pero hindi ko pa alam kung sino ang co-stars ko. I also want to thank pala all those who made my comeback soap, 'Paano Ba ang Mangarap,' a success. Happy kami and grateful ni Mark dahil tinanggap uli ng viewers ang aming love team. "

CESAR PAYS
ON our way to Tacloban City last weekend, we were about to pay for our terminal fee when someone suddenly went ahead of us and told the cashier: "Ito na, ito na ang kunin mo. " When we took a good look, it turned out to be Cesar Montano who's on his way to his native Bohol where he's running as governornext year. "You should also come and visit us in Bohol," he said.

We've been to Bohol and it's really one of the most beautiful places we've seen in this lovely country of ours so we accepted his invitation then we went to our respective gates at the PAL terminal. He just came from the taping of his hit game show on ABS-CBN the previous night, "The Singing Bee. "

WHAT'S ON 'TSB'
ON 'The Singing Bee'this weekend, one of their special guests is sexy singer Mocha Uson, who says she can relate with what's happening to Katrina Halili as she experienced a breach of privacy herself when her fotos in a private pool with her co-singers in her band were taken and later posted on the Internet without their knowledge or permission. She also filed a case against the publication that did it but this was settled out of court. "I admire Katrina for fighting for her rights as a person and as a woman," she says.

Another contestant is Nyoy Volante who's now finishing a new album. He and Mocha lost to the formidable trio of radio jocks: Mr. Fu, Nicoleyala and Billie, whose Team DJ's went on to beat the defending champs, Team Valera of singer-composer Rey Valera and his two daughters. This weekend, the DJ's will be facing tough competition with sing-along masters led by singer-comedians Ethel Booba and Kitkat. "The Singing Bee" is seen Saturday's after the horror-drama "Nasaan Ka, Maruja" and on Sunday's after the wacky "Goin' Bulilit".
