SANYA Lopez was bashed by some envious folks who complained that she’s still in “First Yaya” with Gabby Concepcion, how come she’s given another lead role in “Agimat ng Agila” with Bong. Revilla? “Puro siya na lang! Wala na bang makuhang ibang leading ladies ang GMA?” they asked.
How does Sanya feel about it?
“Naku, huwag naman silang magalit sa akin kasi hindi ko rin po ine-expect na magkakasabay sila on the air. Pero ‘yung ‘First Yaya’ po, daily from Monday to Friday at ‘yung ‘Agimat ng Agila’ once a week lang, every Saturday night. At magkaiba rin naman po sila ng genre, kasi romantic comedy series ang ‘First Yaya’ and action-fantasy naman po ang ‘Agimat ng Agila’.”
She says “Agimat ng Agila” was the one first offered to her. “Actually, una na akong nag-tape for ‘Agimat ng Agila’. We have taped some episodes then sa Tanay, Rizal, pero nagka-lockdown so nahinto ang taping namin. Then, if you’d recall, I wasn’t the original choice sa ‘First Yaya,’ but as fate would have it, ako ang napiling pumalit kay Ate Marian Rivera. So habang tigil ang taping with Sen. Bong Revilla, nag-lock in taping naman ako with Gabby Concepcion sa La Union.
“Tamang-tama naman, nang matapos ang taping for ‘First Yaya,’ nag-resume naman ang ‘Agimat ng Agila.’ At ngayong showing na ito, lock in taping naman uli ako for ‘First Yaya.’
Our fourth cycle na. Sobrang nag-click ang show at laging mataas ang ratings. Salamat sa lahat ng sumusuporta dahil na-extend na po kami ng another three weeks.”
Sen. Bong has nothing but praises for her as his leading lady in “Agimat ng Agila,” saying they have good on screen chemistry and she’s very professional. Their director, Rico Gutierrez, also says she is a good actress who has no complaints even she’s asked to do risky action scenes.
“Naku, ako nga po ang dapat magpasalamat kasi sobrang bait nila sa akin,” she says. “Lalo si Sen. Bong. Intimidated ako noong una, but he turned out to be so nice and approachable. Maalaga at maasikaso sa mga katrabaho niya sa taping namin. I’m sure magki-click itong ‘Agimat ng Agila’ not only with kids but even their whole family kasi wholesome entertainment po talaga ang hatid ng action-adventure show na ito that starts airing this Saturday, May 1, at 7:15 p.m. after ‘Pepito Manaloto’.”

‘He was quickly bashed by netizens who said he doesn’t even have the decency to break up with Andrea in person for closure.’
Derek Ramsay admitted he was the one who broke up with Andrea Torres and he did it only by phone. He was quickly bashed by netizens who said he doesn’t even have the decency to break up with Andrea in person for closure.
“’Yung sa amin ni Andrea, I realized the relationship will not work because we have different values,” he said in an interview. “Hindi mali ‘yung values niya, o ‘yung values ko.
Pero ganito ako pinalaki, ganoon siya pinalaki. So I told her, ‘I think that this is the end of this relationship because we cannot see eye to eye. So I think it’s just best na kumalas na tayo ngayon rather than two, three years down the road, maghihiwalay rin tayo kasi nga iba ang views natin.’ She agreed naman.”
When asked about his relationship with fiancee Ellen Adarna, he says he’s very happy and satisfied with her. “Hindi ko yata kayang ma-express into words, pero kita n’yo naman sa mga actions ko, sa mata ko, I’ve never been this happy in my life.”
Some netizens say it’s not nice of Derek to blame Andrea’s family for her kind of upbringing. In defense, Derek said he just opened up to end all the speculations about their breakup. “Hindi naman ako nagbanggit ng mga detalye. I was just asked kung may kinalaman ba ang parents ni Andrea and I just answered honestly. Yes, I’ve always been honest. Siguro nabanggit ko na, kasi gusto kong matahimik na lang. Kasi I’m in a relationship now, I’m getting married, so I just want it all to be over and done with. I guess I just I want to put it to rest para matapos na.”
But this is not what happened as it triggered more reactions from bashers. Someone said he was on with Andrea for more than a year and he was on with Ellen for only two months.
The netizen added: “Doon sa two months na ‘yun, you became quickly sure that Ellen is the one who you want to marry? Well… good luck na lang sa inyo.”
Even the latest photos of Derek and Ellen they posted on social media showing a half-naked Derek on top of Ellen were bashed by netizens who said: “Ang hahalay nyo!”
“Malalaswang PDA!” “You deserve each other!”
How we wish all the publicity they’re getting would help forward their careers. As we all know, Derek has not had a movie or TV show for more than a year now, while Ellen has a sitcom on TV5 that is not really rating as much as they’d want to. In her own social media account, Andrea wrote something that could very well apply to Derek: “Keep calm and let karma finish it.”

Sunshine Guimary is being launched as a sex-comedy actress in Viva’s “Kaka.” She’s the fourth Sunshine in local showbiz after Dizon, Cruz and Garcia. “Kaka” is directed by GB Sampedro with Jerald Napoles and Ion Perez as her leading men.
She was born on June 18, 1994 in China and started as a swimsuit and lingerie model. Based in Cebu, she has her own vlog where she became known as the “Braless Goddess” for vlogging while in her bikinis and nighties. Because of her huge following, Viva signed her up as a contract star and she’s happy that she’s now given her launching movie in “Kaka.”
Sunshine plays the title role of Kaka whose full name in the film is Katherine Bataan. She is a disc jockey-sex therapist known as DJ Kaka, who gives valuable sex advice to her listeners, but she herself has yet to experience complete sexual satisfaction in bed. This is because the women in her family have all been cursed that they will not achieve full climax with a man.
Playing her mother in the story is Rosanna Roces as Mama Kam, while her grandma named Lola Kiri is Gina Pareño. Her best friend is Jorge (Jerald), who is secretly in love with her, while the man she thinks is the one who will lift the curse in her family is Levi (Ion), who turns out to be very religious.
So how is it shooting her very first movie?
“Mahirap kasi baguhan lang ako. Ni hindi ko alam ‘yung mga terms, like blocking.
Nagpapasalamat ako kay Direk GB for being patient with me. Salamat din sa co-stars kong sina Tita Gina Pareño, Tita Rosanna Roces, si Jerald Napoles, and the rest. Ang babait nila sa akin. Inalalayan nila ako at naging masaya ang experience ko sa lock-in set namin sa Tagaytay at sa Batangas.”
She has sexy scenes with both Jerald and Ion, and also by herself. So how is it? “Mahirap ‘yung daring scenes for me, mabigat. Direk GB had to explain in detail kung anong gagawin ko. But I’m happy na nagawa ko naman sila nang maayos. Kaya ko pala. Later on, I want to show I can do other roles. Gusto ko i-try maging kontrabida naman.”
