“Wala na ‘yon, wala na ‘yon,” Gladys Reyes repeatedly told PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) when asked about the reaction of her husband Christopher Roxas on learning about her intimate scene with Habang May Buhay co-actor Derek Ramsay. Showbiz News Ngayon (SNN) reported recently that Christopher showed disappointment when he found out that his wife had an inti­mate scene with Derek without his knowledge. Apparently, his reaction was caught on tape while SNN was doing an interview with the couple. “Actually, ayaw ko na nga pag­usapan kasi baka akala nila pina­palaki pa, e. Wala na ‘yon, talagang nag-usap na kami [ni Christopher] and hindi naman siya seryosong nagalit doon,” Gladys clarified after the press conference of Habang May Buhay last night, January 26, at Fernwood Gardens in Quezon City.

In a separate interview, Gladys explained that there was just a little misunderstanding about the issue.
“Akala nila siguro parang seryosong nagalit si Christopher,” Gladys said. “Hindi, more of nabi­gla lang siya... kaya noong naku­nan, ganun ang reaksiyon niya. Pero nabigla lang siya doon sa term na ginamit na ‘love scene.’ Hindi naman kasi ‘yon love scene talaga kundi more of, para bang... kasi, obsessed ako, e, kunwari kay Derek. Pero alam mo ‘yon, puro suggestive lang, pero wala naman talaga, ni walang kissing scene.”

The 32-year-old actress also stressed, “Nagulat lang siya kasi never naman akong nakipag-love scene kahit noong mas bata pa kami, sa pelikula man o sa TV. Na­gulat lang siya na parang ngayon pa, ngayon pa ako makikipag-love scene. Parang hindi naman yata timing.”

“NAHIHIYA AKO KAY DEREK.” Another reason Gladys did not want to talk about it anymore is that her co-actor Derek is being dragged into the issue.
“Nakakahiya nga kasi baka kung ano isipin niya, nung mga na­kanood,” she said.
Although Gladys is grateful that Derek just shrugged off the issue. “Nagkausap kami kanina. Nagka­tawanan kami about the situation.
Siya din, sabi nga niya, hindi seryo­so. Medyo naging big deal lang, pero wala naman.”
Gladys was also apologetic in saying, “Actually, nahihiya talaga ako kay Derek kasi hindi na rin na­man dapat mag-explain. Basta nag­katawanan na lang kami ni Derek kanina nang magkita kami dito sa presscon.”

“HINDI NAGING ISYU ANG TRA- BAHO.” As Gladys earlier stated, work never became an issue in her relationship with Christopher. This is the first time that Christopher re­acted because of a misunderstand­ing, she said.

“Never naging issue sa amin ni Christopher ang trabaho,” she told PEP. “Never talaga na makakasira sa relasyon namin ang trabaho.
Ngayon pa? Seventeen years na kami together at six years old pa lang ako, umaarte na ako. Ito na ang passion ko, alam niya ‘yon. Alam ko naman kung hanggang saan ako, kaya walang dapat ika­worry ang sinuman.”

“May bawal, siyempre,” she replied. “Mayroon din akong ini­ingatan na religion and may mga limitation. Alam ko naman kung hanggang saan lang ako. Hindi tayo puwedeng sumugod nang sumugod. Parang katulad ng sinabi ni Judy Ann, na-recognize naman tayo ng tao nang hindi nakikipag­kissing scene at love scene, so bakit naman ngayon pa? Parang hindi na­man yata kailangang gawin ‘yon.”

    If we intend to make our interest be recognized, all we need to do is make a noise about it! One may either write or talk about a certain issue. This is exactly what happened last weekend. In Vancouver, a Filipino parade entitled ‘Unang Hirit’ showcasing Filipino culture created a big noise. Some claimed it was the biggest and colorful parade organized by Filipinos. A street parade starting from Fras­er, Multicultural Helping House to St. Patrick Church ground at Main Street where trade exhibits, food stalls and entertainment shows were held. Many claimed it was successful! We hope the orga­nizers have a chance to evaluate the event turn out and how they can still improve by showcasing positive, significant and unique contributions of Filipinos to the Vancouver community.

    I went walking one day, on a beach that was filled with people from all walks of life. Families with small children running and play­ing with each other. Sweethearts who had only eyes for each other. Solitary beings who where out to enjoy the Sun and be alone with oneself. Whatever reasons all of us congregate on the beach that day, one prevailing agreement was that all of us, were enjoying ourselves.

    Last Saturday Aug 14 was a significant event for the Filipino community in Vancouver as the first ever Filipino Cultural Street parade was launched. The most obvious purpose of this event, of course, is to reaffirm our pres­ence as a united culture here in Vancouver, not that Canadians are not aware of this but perhaps to make them aware that we as a community can also make noise, louder, if not the same cacopho­nous noise as a Chinese Lion dance parade. But really, I thought this was more of a chance for the hundred or so local Filipino asso­ciations to do something worth-wile departing from the usual and already boring fund-raising dinner and dance, beauty pageants and singing idol wannabee competi­tions.

    On, June 30, 2010, Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Aquino III was sworn in as the 15th president of the Republic of the Philip­pines. Associate Justice Conchita Carpio-Morales and Jesuit Fr. Catalino Arevalo, a close friend of the Aquinos, who held the bible, swore in the only son of former Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino and former president Corazon Cojuangco Aquino. To most Fili­pinos, this day was very memo­rable because it symbolizes the beginning of a new hope for the country, the hope of a clean and honest government.

    As a result of her loyalty, a Filipina maid in Singapore inherited more than four million US dollars from her late employer after more than 20 years of service. Chances of that happening here in Canada could be less than winning Lot­toMax.
