Our utmost Christmas wish is for the pandemic to totally end. For things to normalize again.
How nice siguro when we no longer have to wear a face mask when you go to Cubao as your residence happens to be just a few meters away.
Dear Santa Claus, please grant our wish.

Dingdong Dantes displays depth in his portrayal in the action-thriller that is part of this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival entry.
Less than a week after Dingdong Dantes’ arrival from Israel, where he accompanied his wife, Marian Rivera, he was already promoting his Metro Manila Film Festival entry with John Arcilla, “A Hard Day.”
The film, directed by Lawrence Fajardo, is produced by Viva Films and is a local adaptation of 2014 South Korean movie.
John said he was impressed by Dingdong’s portrayal. “Ang ganda ng role ni Dingdong sa pelikula,” he said. “Bukod sa may mga action scenes siya, marami rin siyang dramatic scenes that happens after a fatal hit and run incident during the funeral of his mom.
“Ang laki na ng iginaling bilang actor ni Dingdong,” John sincerely added. “Baka ma-recognize ang kanyang performance ng mga ciritics sa ibang bansa.”
Dingdong was recently cited by a local awards-giving body for hosting the informative show, “Amazing Earth,” which airs every Sunday on GMA 7.
