Lamenting a Son’s Choice

When the Mother of a Celebrity (MC) wanted to know more about the Current Woman (CW) of interest of Her Son (HS), she arranged for the three of them to have dinner. Meeting parents is a crucial step for one who is about to or into a relationship. Approval of parents guarantees support and acceptance, as well as peace of mind for concerned parties.

The appointment was set and HS was excited because MC could finally meet the person who has been giving him the reason to smile and test his boundaries. As they were having dinner, MC was having a hard time dealing with the situation because every time she asks a question, HS would answer in behalf of CW. Perhaps, HS was really just excited and he wanted to make an impression on MC. However, MC felt disappointment because she could not get answers from CW. HS kept butting in during conversations.

However, the wise mother that she is, MC invited CW for dinner. This time, HS was no longer invited because MC was serious in wanting to know more about CW and how she has been influencing HS lately. Incidentally, MC knew that sooner or later she would be asked on her impressions of CW. She knows that she has to have a truthful and sincere answer, which she would only be able to achieve if she were to spend time with CW. She knows that by putting in a good word or two for CW, she could indirectly help in polishing the image of HS as well.

The big day arrived. Known for being prompt, MC was already at the venue ahead of CW. To her surprise, two bodyguards were sent ahead to the area. Then, after a few minutes, CW showed up with more bodyguards. The scene was quite awkward because MC was surprised that CW could have so many people watching her. By contrast, MC was simple and did not even call attention to herself even if everyone knew she was the mother of HS. Disappointed, MC limited her interaction with CW and left within a quarter of an hour.

While HS seems happy to be with CW, even to the point of sacrificing his image and reputation, MC is still ambivalent. However, after meeting with CW, MC fixed a date with a Woman from the Past (WP) of HS. MC just wanted to see how WP was doing. WP agreed to meet with MC. Not surprisingly, MC spent more time exchanging stories with WP than CW. The two women laughed and updated each other with the latest happenings. After their meeting, MC reflected on what had transpired and reaffirmed in her heart that she had always wanted HS to end up with WP. Yet, she was only just a mother and regardless of the personality of the woman HS chooses to be with, she would just have to be supportive.

Repost: James Reid Supports Same-Sex Marriage

Actor-singer James Reid said he would support same-sex marriage, saying “I’m all for it.”

James is one of the lead stars of ABS-CBN’s latest drama series “Till I Met You” which, he said, would “discuss LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) issues.”

“A person should not be afraid to show who he really is and should be free to do what he wants,” said James in explaining his reason for favoring same-sex marriage.

The 23-year-old actor also revealed he has a gay friend, who had confessed love to him and he found “nothing wrong with it.”

“Since he is a good friend, he understood when I told him that I’m OK to just be his buddy,” James said of his reaction to his gay friend’s proposal during a meet-and-greet session organized by the transport app Grab Philippines, which he endorses.

“Till I Met You” also features Nadine Lustre and newcomer JC Santos. “The story is one of a kind—I don’t want to give it away. The love triangle is uncommon,” he said, adding that it would be “more mature” compared to their previous top-rating drama series, “On the Wings of Love.”

He shared with reporters: “Nadine and I are excited. Before, it was just Clark and Leah in ‘Otwol.’ This time, it’s the three of them—Iris, Basti and Ali (played by JC). Of course, we feel pressured because it’s a primetime show, but I believe in the production team and our director (Antoinette Jadaone), so I’m not worried about viewers not liking it.”

The series was shot partly in Greece. James and Nadine, collectively known as JaDine, spent two weeks in the European country, specifically in the city of Athens and on the islands of Santorini and Mykonos.

“I want to go back there soon. The trip was unforgettable because of the food, all the sight-seeing and cliff diving that we did in Santorini,” he recalled.

Last week, Nadine hosted a birthday dinner for her mom Myraquel, and James was one of the invited guests. “It was a small family get-together. I brought my sister (Lauren) along,” he shared with the Inquirer. “Nadine and I are discovering new things about each other every day. Our work has brought us much closer.”

For James, spending time with his family and loved ones is a form of reward. “That’s all I want to do after a long day at work. I can’t wait to move in to our new house—it’s really for them. I’m excited about the pool.”

Manipulating the Public to Believe His Half-truths

Sacrifices are made whenever one enters the entertainment industry and opts to perform in front of the cameras rather than work as a private citizen. For example, privacy is a debatable issue in which one side believes that a celebrity should be ready to expose himself/herself, whereas the other thinks certain matters should be kept in the dark.

Thus, when Talented Celebrity (TC) started being candid and admitting to certain accusations hurled at him, he broke protocol. In the industry, admission is hard to come by. The belief is that one should maintain an almost perfect image to be admired by fans. Fans continue to hold on to their thinking that their idols are still reachable until they settle down. This notion adds to the popularity of any idol.

In the case of TC, his admissions seemed to have not affected his present career. Rather than pull him down, his intrigues were silenced because he told the truth instead of denying the obvious matters. Hence, sympathy seems to be with TC these days.

Sometime ago, TC revealed an issue that is often dreaded by actors, particularly the matinee idols. Such issue could affect their status as being single and uncommitted. Nonetheless, TC did not do the usual denial and instead admitted to his ‘crime.’ He did not stop there, however. TC started to blame the other party and even threatened to take the legal route to get what he wanted. Given that the Other Party (OP) was not around to respond in the forum, TC seemed to be unfair by placing OP in a negative position.

When the friends of TC heard the accusations of TC, they were very disappointed. Allegedly, OP tries to be pleasant and continue to entertain TC. However, TC could not stick to just one and thus, he dated left and right.

Allegedly, he could not remain loyal and took for granted the forgiveness OP would do every time he transgressed. When TC started saying hurtful things in public recently, people close to OP were offended, as they knew that TC was the one at fault at the beginning and his statements placed OP in bad light. Nonetheless, they are only friends and unless OP speaks up, TC could manipulate the public to believe in his image of someone who is being prevented to see someone that could be close to his heart.

‘We live in a world where unfortunately the distinction between true and false appears to become increasingly blurred by manipulation of facts, by exploitation of uncritical minds, and by the pollution of the language.’  ― Arne Tiselius

Movie Review: Camp Sawi

Cast : Andi Eigenmann, Bela Padilla, Arci Munoz, Sam Milby, Yassi Pressman, Kim Molina

Director: Irene Villamor

MTRCB Rating: PG

Released By: Viva Entertainment Inc

After watching the movie’s trailer, one might not expect anything new in this movie, or at the very least, something to get excited about. Owing to the bevy of sexy bodies and pretty faces for its stars, one would think that they are just the movie’s come on which will be mixed with a formulaic plot.

But as it is said, the test of the pudding is in the eating. Nothing can be closer to the truth. Unexpectedly, the movie presents a story that is fresh and unique. It  has a winning plot, a very engaging story. Credit to Bela Padilla and her longtime boyfriend Neil Arce who created it. 

CAMP SAWI is a story of five different women who are in great pain from their broken relationships. They find themselves inside a camp – a refuge for the brokenhearted - that will make them heal from their hurtful past. 

The movie’s setting is at the beautiful and charming Bantayan Island in Cebu where the camp is located. There, the five women, detached from their world, are given ways to help them cope as they struggle to recover from their traumatic heartaches. Initially adamant to mingle with their camp mates, the girls soon find strength in each other.  

"Camp Sawi" is a visual feast, if only for its picturesque setting that complements its stars - five of today’s hottest and sexiest young actresses. Matched with a breathtaking cinematography, the treatment of the story is quite commendable. The movie doesn’t scream, it doesn’t struggle to impress, the story just flows naturally.

Director Irene has successfully made each character memorable. Both Brigitte (Bela Padilla) and Gwen (Arci Munoz) who were dumped by their exes complement each other’s quirkiness. There is riot when they are together, notably that drunken scene in the beach that really left a mark and the audience in stitches. 

Arci is undoubtedly a natural comedian, with Yassi and Kim catching up – no dull moment as they slowly recover and give justice to their colorful characters. Clarisse’s (Andi Eigenmann) dramatic story of loving the wrong man lends itself very relatable to viewers. The tragic story of Joan (Kim Molina) with her fiancé leaves her rejecting herself even more, along with Jessica’s (Yassi Pressman) hair-raising anecdote of her boyfriend. All told, the characters’ diverse stories are no different from everybody else’s that anyone can easily identify with. 

The girls’ bonding moments feel like you are just with your girlfriends unabashedly sharing each other’s angst while on a drinking spree – at times serious, other times downright hilarious. Louie (Sam Milby) makes for a cool camp master giving genuine attention and  guidance to the depressed girls in his camp, while carefully polite with their humorous advances. 

"Camp Sawi" definitely entertains, a must watch, especially for the heartbroken and weary souls out there who need to unburden. As it is, moving on may not be the same for everyone, and that a heartache, no matter how crippling, is there for a purpose. 

Don’t miss the movie - now showing in cinemas. 

Also in the cast are AJ Muhlach, Alex Vincent Medina, Bret Jackson, Bubbles Paraiso, Cholo Barreto, Dennis Trillo, Issa Pressman, Janna Roque, Jasmine Hollingworth, Jerald Napoles, RJ Padilla, Sarah Brakensiek, Tonton Gutierrez.
