Susan, walang balak magparetoke

AT 66 (she was born July 28, 1941), maipagmamalaki ni Susan Roces na hindi pa niya naranasang mag-submit to cosmetic surgery.

Feeling niya, she has no need for it. After all nga naman, part of life ang pagdagdag ng edad ng isang nilalang.

Susan wants to age gracefully. Just like Tita Midz (Armida Siguion-Reyna) na sa kanyang edad ngayon (70something), mabibilang sa daliri ang mumunting kulubot sa mukha. Higit sa lahat, Tita Midz is able to carry herself very well.

Dumalo si Susan sa press preview-cum-presscon ng pangalawang series ng kanyang Sineserye Presents: The Susan Roces Cinema Collection.

Ito 'yung Maligno, na ginawa niyang movie nu'ng 1977 and where she performed the role of a mother na nagkaanak sa isang demonyo.

Susan won a FAMAS best actress trophy for her performance in the movie.

Sa TV adaptation ng Maligno, Claudine Barretto plays the role of Angela, the same part na ginampanan ni Susan in its movie version. The first among Susan's collection of horror movies na in-adapt ng ABS-CBN for TV was Patayin sa Sindak si Barbara, which starred Kris Aquino.

Tulad ng sa Patayin ..., may ilang pagbabagong ginawa si Direk Wenn Deramas sa Maligno, which is just all right for Susan, na hangang-hanga sa first episode na kanyang napanood.

She personally congratulated everyone involved sa production, lalo na ang stars nito, na bukod kay Claudine, ay kinabibilangan din nina Diether Ocampo, Rafael Rosell, Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, DJ Durano, Arlene Tolibas at Empoy. Child actor Carlo Lacana is being introduced in the series with the special participation of Rio Locsin.

HANGA kami sa ipinakitang husay ni Rafael bilang demonyong nagkaanak kay Claudine sa Maligno. Aba, he literally threw cautions to the wind, mapahusay lang ang kanyang pagganap.

If we're not mistaken, he was naked in his supposed rape scene with Claudine. Kung paano na-approve ng MTRCB (Movie Television Review and Classification Board) ang eksena, iyan siguro ang dapat abangan ng lahat.

Ganunpaman, ikinumpisal din ni Rafael na hindi biro ang kanyang naranasan mai-portray lang ang role ng isang demon ng naaayon.

So engrossed nga raw siya with his role, kaya may takot siyang naramdaman, dahil pakiwari niya, possessed na siya ng isang demonyo.

Ito rin daw ang dahilan why excited siya sa upcoming concert ng grupong Cover Boys of which he is a part of. Kapag kasama raw niya ang grupo, nagiging lively siya. Kalog daw kasi silang lahat.

The Cover Boys are composed of Rafael nga, Jake Cuenca, Zanjoe Marudo, Jon Avila, Victor Basa, Will Devaughn, Ron Morales, Marvin Raymundo at John James Uy.

Coverboys Plus ... Uncovered is slated at the Music Museum on May 9 and 10. It's co-produced by ASAP Live and MJM Productions.
