Whereas neither is a widow, the insufferable ache they needed to bear of their private lives one way or the other made them mourn as widows do. However even after Bea’s marriage ceremony plans with Dominic Roque acquired thwarted and Carla’s marriage to Tom Rodriguez was short-lived, each ladies not solely survived, they prevailed.

Right here’s my chat with Carla:

What shocked you most about Bea?

How calm, correct, affected person, skilled and devoted she is at work. It’s regular for a lead star to get overwhelmed at occasions because of stress, lack of sleep, the quantity of scenes, size of traces, expectations and pressures from administration and viewers, however I’ve by no means noticed any of these in her. In reality, she’s even so ready that we’d usually discover that she nonetheless remembers specific particulars, even her coactors’ traces, from scenes we’d already achieved some time again.

How do you handle to not upstage one another?

I imagine there’s no have to upstage one another. We’re two distinctive and separate people and, in my private opinion, she’s on a complete totally different stage. She’s Bea Alonzo!

The tagline of your collection goes, “Love Kills.” How are you going to relate to that?

Being a fan of real-life crime and homicide investigations, I’ve at all times been fascinated by some individuals who grow to be able to killing even the particular person(s) they love essentially the most. Love makes you do loopy issues. It’s dumbfounding, nevertheless it’s a recognized truth. It actually occurs and it leaves us questioning why and the way it occurs.

What are you studying from the character you painting?

When a person is solely centered on what or who he/she loves, it narrows that particular person’s understanding and empathy. It might get to the purpose the place that particular person is not in a position to put himself/herself within the footwear of others. This is applicable to loyalty, too. It’s not at all times good. Loyalty may be dangerous, even harmful.

Are you again on the relationship scene?

Relationship isn’t one thing I feel a lot of in the meanwhile. I don’t wish to set a timeline on after I ought to be able to date once more. I’ll simply depart it as much as God and let issues take its personal pure course.

What love lesson will you apply for those who ever get married once more?

Marriage is the least of my issues proper now. I haven’t thought of it a lot, however we’ll see.

 

Meralco Bolts’ Cliff Hodge is star materials

There’s a skinny line between present biz and the PBA (Philippine Basketball Affiliation).

PBA legends like Benjie Paras, Atoy Co and Joey Marquez are all cagers-turned-actors. Like them, Cliff Hodge of the Meralco Bolts (MB) is certainly star materials. He may go for a Korean oppa.

Cliff’s staff made historical past on the 2024 PBA Philippine Cup when MB clinched its very first championship by beating the defending champs, San Miguel Beermen (SMB). Sport commentators seek advice from Cliff as a buwis-buhay sort of participant. He provides his one hundred pc till the sport is over. Identical to what his identify connotes, it’s as if Hodge is at all times on the sting of a cliff, able to soar.

Right here’s my chat with Cliff:

Do you assume that MB’s victory would put an finish to the same old PBA collection dominated by solely three groups?

Our victory is nice for the PBA. It’s a breath of contemporary air for the followers. Nobody actually gave us an opportunity going towards the mighty SMB, however my teammates and I believed in each other. To see our staff undergo a lot hardship and proceed to push ourselves and eventually obtain our purpose is one thing particular to witness. I hope we are able to proceed our journey collectively via much more ups and downs as a result of the journey collectively is what actually issues, not a trophy.

What was the hardest a part of beating SMB?

They’re constructed so nicely, surrounded by the “goat” in Junemar Fajardo. They’ve championship expertise, a terrific teaching workers, and nearly swept the complete elimination spherical, with 15 guys who may be stars on particular person groups.

The hardest half was staying locked in the entire collection. It takes a ton of focus to observe gameplans and keep within the second whereas chaos is occurring in all places. And we acquired the job achieved.

Would you be open to hitch present biz after PBA?

I wouldn’t flip it down if a proposal got here alongside. I’m at all times in search of new alternatives. It might be fairly enjoyable to indicate my wacky, outgoing aspect and never simply the loopy, scary man on the courtroom.
