GRETCHEN Barretto and Dominique
Gretchen Barretto on her daughter Dominique Cojuangco: “I don’t give her advice when it comes to fashion anymore. She’s already 19 years old. She grew up watching me play around with clothes and accessories—both the expensive and inexpensive ones. She’s actually smarter than me when it comes to budgeting. She will always buy at a bargain when she can. I actually learn from her.” Marinel R. Cruz
Never too young
Asked if he’s willing to be paired with younger actresses like Ellen Adarna, actor Richard Gomez quipped: “Sige, i-push natin ’yan! Gusto ko nga younger, eh. Pwedeng Kim Chiu, ganiyan dapat!” Allan Policarpio
Truthful director
Chynna Ortaleza commends “Dading” director Ricky Davao: “We often have to do drama scenes at 5 a.m. Since he’s an actor too, he understands that we may need time to prepare. He is very honest. If he sees something in our performance that’s not truthful, he’ll give us a chance to do the scene again.” Bayani San Diego Jr.
