Amy Perez will be sorely missed as the feisty yet endearing “Tiyang Amy” in TV 5’s “Face to Face.” After her three–year hosting stint in the masang-masa show, she feels it’s time to “graduate” and venture into something else.
“The show was my baby,” she says. “I wish my Kumareng Tintin (Babao) and Backroom sister Gelli (de Belen) well as they take over hosting chores for the reformatted show starting Oct. 14.”
Amy is ready to face a new challenge in her career. “I am taking up culinary lessons in ISCAHM (International School for Culinary Arts and Hotel Management). Along with my friends, chef Jimmy Delfin of CCA (Center for Culinary Arts) and our media officer Bamba Cruz, we will be giving cooking demos in different places,” she says. “We started in schools by sharing simple recipes with yayas. They can check our sites, Happy Kitchen by Amy Perez on Facebook, happykitchenbyap on Instagram and HappyKitchenAP on Twitter.”
Tiyang Amy has now turned into Happy Amy.
Short-lived romance
Derek Ramsay is too much of a gentleman so he would rather not divulge the reason why he and Cristine Reyes parted ways. What a short-lived romance! Only they can say if it was sweet, though short.
Could it be true that Derek resented Cristine’s being chummy with her ex-boyfriends Rayver Cruz and Dennis Trillo?
I sent Derek a Viber message to clarify matters but, at press time, he hasn’t replied.
As Cristine’s boyfriend, that’s Derek’s prerogative. But maybe, it’s her way of showing him that the Rayver and Dennis chapters of her life are officially over that’s why she is emotionally ready to befriend her exes. Past is past, as the cliché goes. But you’ve got to draw the line somewhere.
Clan war
The Barretto/Santiago clan war has gotten out of hand. At the rate things are going, it seems like they were never a family.
It’s painfully sad to watch the beautiful sisters paint ugly pictures of each other. Washing too much dirty linen in public can cause dreadful pollution on our TV screens.
Enough is enough. They say blood is thicker than water. But in this case, blood is boiling thicker and the water has run dry.
Drive-in movie
The country’s fave love story, “It Takes a Man and a Woman,” hit the big screen once again in a romantic drive-in screening by Cinema One on Sept. 27 at the Greenfield District Central Park in Mandaluyong City. It was hosted by Andrei Felix and Cesca Litton, with the special appearance of the movie’s main man, John Lloyd Cruz.
The first 500 viewers got free popcorn.
