Pabor si Lea Salonga sa paggamit ng interpreter ng ating kandidata for Miss Universe na si Maxine Medina. In her latest interview na na-publish sa online site na Push.com ng ABS-CBN, sinabi ng Broadway Diva na walang masama kung gusto mang kumuha ng interpreter ni Maxine.

“If it’s going to be helpful for her I don’t see anything wrong with it, if she feels that it will help her to express herself the way that is maiintindihan talaga at mauunawaan ng buong mundo at ang magiging sagot niya ay ‘yung talagang swak and if it doesn’t feel na mag-stumble siya sa pag-express ng sarili niya then she must absolutely use an interpreter,” pahayag ni Lea.

Ayon pa sa Tony awardee, hindi naman daw cheap ang paggamit ng interpreter.

“Here’s a thing, the thing about an interpreter, it’s not a cheap, it’s to aide the candidate in expressing themselves as eloquently as possible,” she said.

Nilinaw din ni Lea ang lumabas na balitang magpe-perform siya sa Miss Universe pageant na gaganapin sa Jan. 30. Aniya ay wala raw itong katotohanan dahil wala namang nag-invite sa kanya to perform.

“That was wrong who ever publicized that really made a big mistake so I mean it’s nice to be regarded in that way but I wasn’t booked I was not invited to perform so medyo may na-excite lang siguro,” paglilinaw ni Lea.

Luis ipinapanood ang paghu-hubad sa pamilya ng mapapangasawa

Goodbye na sa pagka-binata si Luis Alandy dahil ikakasal na siya sa kanyang non-showbiz girlfriend na si Joselle Fernandez this Feb. 17, 2017. Magda-dalawang taon pa lang actually ang relasyon nila pero naramdaman na agad niya na “she’s the one”.

“Very cliché, pero ‘yung hinahanap ko talaga na parang someone to be with, siya, eh. Very good family values, sobrang bait niya rin, so siya na talaga,” sey ni Luis nang makausap namin sa presscon ng latest movie niyang Swipe which turns out to be his last film na single pa siya.

Kahit nga malaki ang age gap nila (she’s 23 and he’s 37), hindi naman daw sila nahirapang mag-adjust dahil marami silang bagay na pinagkakasunduan.

“Nagja-jive kami in terms of everything, sa ugali, hobbies, ‘yung mga likes and dislikes namin, almost the same,” sey pa ni Luis.

Pero ang pinakagusto raw niya sa GF/future wife, sobrang understanding daw nito at supportive sa kanyang showbiz career.

“Her family’s very artistic din. Biruin mo, saan ka makakakita, ‘di ba, ‘yung ginawa ko na film 2 years ago, ‘yung Anino sa Likod ng Buwan, it was very controversial because of the nudity and the sex scenes, biruin mo buong family nila, nanood. Pinanood niya muna, then she recommended it to her whole family na panoorin, nanood silang lahat.

“Very supportive and alam naman niya na ito ang work ko for how many years and she knows naman that I’m responsible to accept or to do films na hindi lang ‘yung basta-basta na (maghuhubad). Alam niya na namimili ako, she knows how artistic my goals are.”

For the other details of the wedding, Luis shared na garden wedding daw ito at sa Tagaytay ang venue. Very private lang daw ito at talagang mostly friends and family lang.

Wala pa raw silang honeymoon dahil right after the wedding ay may gagawin daw siyang pelikula at show sa ABS-CBN.

Ang pagkakaroon ng anak ay wala pa raw sa plano nila at gusto muna nilang mag-travel together.
