Dimples ’ cutest gift from
Bagani fan
Dimples Romana shared her heartwarming encounter with a mother and daughter who happened to be fans of the primetime show “ Bagani .” The actress , who plays the role of a babaylan named Gloria , shared the photo of the fan ’ s gift and message – Dimples ’ trending chant on the show , “ Mekeni , mekeni , tugtog do re mi .”
“ There was a lovely little girl who came up to me today at Alonzo ’ s ( Dimples ’ son ) moving up day at school and handed me over this present with the cutest card in it . I saw the mommy and asked her name . Mommy Grace shared how she and her daughter would enjoy watching Bagani together and how they enjoyed babaylan ’ s lines ,” she wrote in her post .
Dimples was moved by the kind gesture .
“ It means everything to an actor like me and as a mom too . Often when we shoot our episodes we miss out on being with our own families and would feel a bit low . But when I hear firsthand how our show brings the whole family together and would have a great time , dun pa lang bawi na ang lahat ng pagod at panahon na di namin kasama ang aming pamilya ! Mabuhay po kayo . To God be all the glory .” ●

Pia Wurztbach as a cook
NOT many know that 2015 Miss Universe Pia Wurztbach is a Culinary Arts graduate and it has been her dream to put up her own restaurant .
When she was younger , according to Pia , she worked in a restaurant in the UK . From time to time , when she would be asked to go to the kitchen , she savored everything being cooked .
She would even sample the dishes sometimes .
“ Kung mabait ang cook ,” she revealed with a smile .
These details about the beauty queen actress and race car driver Marlon Stockinger were revealed during their appearance in “ Magandang Buhay ,” the ABS-CBN talk show hosted by Karla Estrada , Melai Cantiveros and Jolina Magdangal .
Pia and Marlon were grilled by the three hosts , although the topic linking Pia to her “ My Perfect You ” co-star , Gerald Anderon , never came up . Scuttlebutt has it that Gerald and Bea Alonzo have broken up after the movie ’ s filming , presumably because of Pia .
“ Kung sabagay nga naman , bakit pa ? Hindi naman totoo ang issue kasi kitang kita naman ang ebidensiya na happy sa kanyang love life si Pia ,” said a kibitzer .
That she became close to Gerald while they were filming the movie “ My Perfect You ,” Pia never denied . He freely discussed with Pia his romantic involvement with Bea and his feelings for her .
“ At ako , naging ganun din ako sa kanya ,” Pia related . “ Kaya imposibleng may na-develop na ibang feeling sa akin si Gerald .
“ Lalo na ako ,” she further
