Gerald supports gov’t stand on Spratlys

Gerald Anderson

Before show business beckoned, Gerald Anderson once dreamt of following in the footsteps of his father, Captain Gerald Anderson Sr., by becoming a soldier himself.

The actor, who claims to have high regard for Filipino soldiers, especially those patrolling the Spratly group of islands, shares his view on the territorial dispute with China.

“Thinking about it, I realized that it really doesn’t feel right if a stranger enters your home and starts rummaging through your things, and then tries to get them without your permission. But we still have to do what’s right—we cannot start a war. I guess we just have to trust the administration. They’re doing their best. I’m a supportive citizen. I try to help in my own little way.”

Angel on ‘Ang Probinsyano’: The story has to roll

Angel Aquino in “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano”

Actress Angel Aquino shares what she thinks of Brigadier General Diana Olegario, her character in the top-rating series, “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano.”

“Diana is known for being strong-willed, but all of a sudden, bad things are happening under her nose, and she isn’t able to recognize them. The creative team is currently in discussion. I’m also trying to give my two cents’ worth. But the story has to roll—and this is how you stretch, I guess.

“She has become a little emotional because of the death of her son. She cannot see too clearly right now, and some people’s intentions are not actually good. She is still dealing with her loss and is bent on finding out what happened, and who’s behind all that. She’s too affected and is making wrong judgment about people and situations.” MARINEL R. CRUZ
