Rosales:
Halik is
unpredictable
Jericho Rosales is both happy
and proud with the success of his
currently airing soap opera over
at ABS-CBN titled Halik where
he shares stellar billing with Sam
Milby, Yam Concepcion, and Yen
Santos.
“I think what’s good with our
show is that it’s not predictable.
The viewers are in for exciting
twists and turns in the plot,” he
says.
The competent actor also
cites how the four leads meticu-
lously approach their respective
characters.
“That I believe is another of
our strong points. All of us have
collaborated in handling each
character. Like in my case, I ask
myself, where shall I take Lino, my
role? It’s a man’s perspective. We
have lots of male viewers and they
really follow every episode. They
wait for my character’s decision in
many crucial points in the story.
That’s why I ask real people and
their comments guide me in my
delineation of the role.”
Echo opines that true story-
telling plays an important role in
their program’s present popular-
ity.
“It spells the big difference.
We are concerned with how real-
istic the scenes should be mount-
ed, where people won’t find them
corny. This is the reason why I give
my all in my performance. The
kind of acting I give in movies,
the same I give in Halik. I think of
quality entertainment which our
loyal viewers deserve.”
The Kapamilya reveals that
their soap will have an extension.
“I just don’t know exactly until
when but the production asked for

She is set to wed her fiancé, tech at Matteo Guidicelli habang nagli-
entrepreneur Ben Wintle in a fun
beach wedding very soon.
Although she is the first per-
son to say that juggling a super
busy schedule (that involves a
new TV show for ABS-CBN and
shooting for a brand new film for
iFlix), in between wedding prepa-
rations presents all sorts of chal-
lenges, the happy lady remains
unperturbed.
Iza’s mind is put at great
ease knowing that she has people
around her ready, willing and able
to help and support her in any way
in her journey to the next chapter
of her life.
za is bright-eyed and her fu-
ture looks divine as her husband-
to-be seems to complement her
in a lot of ways. She says of him,
“Ben and I balance each other
out. I feel that we fill each other’s
weaknesses with each other’s
strengths. I knew he would make
such an amazing father because
he has been very helpful in help-
ing me raise my step brother and
of how he is with our dogs. I knew
he would be a great partner in
life.”●

vacation on February but they’re
still fixing everything.”
Do inevitable things like this
affect his relationship with his wife
(Kim Jones)?
“Like I have to postpone or
reset our vacation if ever? Nope,
she understands the demands of
my job. She’s so supportive!”
At this point, Jericho cannot
ask for more and that’s what mat-
ters.●

Panay ang holding hands ng
dalawa nang bisitahin nila ang
mga estudyante ng Gualandi Ef-

Pagpasok pa lang ng class-

ang dalawa.
Hindi sila bumitaw sa isa’t isa
habang masayang pinanonood
ang pagkanta ng Christmas song
ng mga bata.
Habang nagbibigay ng in-
struction si Matteo sa mga bata
na kumanta ng “O Holy Night” ay
magka-holding hands pa rin sila
ni Sarah.
Kasalukuyang
nagba-
bakasyon si Sarah sa Cebu kasa-

Base sa fan account ng cou-

lunch kasama ang lola ni Matteo
at mga kapatid ng binata.
Makikitang kumportable si
Sarah sa piling ng mga ito.
Limang taon nang mag-
karelasyon sina Matteo at Sarah.
Nagdiwang sila ng kanilang
fifth anniversary sa Italy noong

May mga lumabas na espe-

Jake Zyrus (formerly Charice
Pempengco) is ready to share a
good number of details about his
forthcoming wedding with girl-
friend Shyre Aquino.
At a recent event, Jake, de-
spite prodding by the entertain-
ment media though a good num-
ber of details about his forthcom-
ing wedding to girlfriend Shyre
Aquino, wouldn’t disclose when
and where the occasion will take
place. “But it’s a dream come
true,” he said.
“For now, just leave it to us.
We’ll announce the details later
anyway,” Jake said of his long-
cherished dream of seeing him-
self raise a family with the person
he intends to spend the rest of his
life with.
“Like anyone else, I want to
be with the person who loves, un-
derstands and supports me every
step of the way. And I think I found
the right person in Shyre.”
Cliché as it sounds, Jake be-
lieves that love is a two-way street,
“And that’s exactly what’s hap-
pening in our relationship. I’m not
exaggerating but ours is perfectly
perfect!”
As far as he and Shyre are
concerned, everything seems
“perfectly perfect,” but how about
her relationship with his mom
Raquel and grandmother Tess? It’s
a known fact that Raquel and Tess
weren’t accepting and approving
even of his past relationship (with
Alyssa Quijano who they claimed
was practically running his life).
Are Raquel and Tess showing
up on his altar date?●
