Quotable quotes from celebs in 2011
RICHARD Gomez: “I’m lucky that Lucy’s not the jealous type.” ARNOLD ALMACEN
It’s been a tradition in the biz to end the year with the Metro Manila Film Festival. We at the Cinema Evaluation Board gave both “Segunda Mano” and “Asiong Salonga” an “A” rating. We gave a “B” to “Enteng ng Ina Mo,” “Shake, Rattle and Roll 13,” “My House Husband,” “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow” and “Panday.”
Let’s support all the entries and hope that the producers will share their earnings with those affected by Tropical Storm “Sendong” in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan. Let the Christmas and Pinoy spirit be one!

As we bid 2011 goodbye, let’s look back on celebrities’ quotable quotes that they shared with “Dollywood” this year.
NORA AUNOR: “Kung ano man ang pagkukulang ko sa mga anak ko, alam ko naiintindihan nila yun. At habang buhay naman ako babawi sa kanila.”
CHRISTOPHER DE LEON: “When I’m asked who the next Boyet de Leon will be, I find it tough because things were different when I started out in the business. Now it’s all hi-tech. Even if there are many good young actors today, iba ang nakagisnan nila kaysa sa akin.”
ROSANNA ROCES: “Minsan kulang ang salitang ‘mahal’ para ilarawan ang nararamdaman ko. Buong-buo ako magmahal. Lahat tinataya ko.”
BONG REVILLA: “Family tradition na namin ang mag-Holy Week sa Boracay. Parang simbolo na ’yung pagligo sa dagat ng pangtanggal ng alat sa pamilya.”
LEA SALONGA: “More than the awards I have received, what I’m most proud of is my being able to maintain my sense of humor in this crazy business. As long as I can still find something funny amid all the chaos, then I’ll be fine.”
CESAR MONTANO: “Sa dami ng pagsubok na pinagdaanan namin ni Sunshine bilang mag-asawa, manhid na kami sa mga gustong sirain ang pagsasama namin. Pinatatag na kami ng panahon.”
AGA MUHLACH: “I’d rather do movies than a teleserye para pulido talaga. Minsan kasi pag drama sa TV rush lahat sa taping kasi daily ang airing. So mas gusto ko i-reserve ang acting ko for a movie na matatawag na masterpiece.”
RUFFA GUTIERREZ: “I’m too happy with my life to be a relationship-wrecker. The John Lloyd chapter in my life has long been over. We’ve both moved on. So sana mag-move on na rin ang mga tao and put the issue to rest.”
JOEY MARQUEZ: “One of the most important things I learned in life is to read the signs. ’Di lang dapat pasok nang pasok sa isang sitwasyon at baka mahirapan ka nang makalabas.”
CHARICE: “Nakakalungkot isipin na kinailangan pang mamatay ng Daddy ko para mabuo at magkabati-bati ang pamilya namin.”
MARY GRACE POE-LLAMANZARES: “Although Lovi (Poe) and I are not that close since we come from different generations, one thing we have in common is our love and longing for FPJ.”
RICHARD GOMEZ: “I’m lucky that my wife Lucy is not the jealous type. She even enjoys watching my love scenes and tells me how I can improve.”
RONNIE RICKETTS: “Mariz and I hardly fight, maybe because she doesn’t have to check on me since ako na mismo ang kusang nagre-report sa kanya kung nasaan ako. I don’t give her room to doubt me nor do I give her reason to get jealous.”
ANGELICA PANGANIBAN: “Minsan kailangan ding ilagay ang ibang fans sa lugar nila para matuto silang rumespeto sa artista.”
CHRISTIAN BAUTISTA: “I don’t mind if people say I’m more popular in Indonesia than I am here because I take a part of the Philippines with me, and that gives me a different kind of satisfaction.”
JANICE DE BELEN: “John (Estrada) and I are civil with each other. But I cannot say we are 100 percent okay because if we were, then we should have not parted ways in the first place.”
IZA CALZADO: “I feel bad when people feel bad for me, saying that I should be given more breaks. I’m happy where I am but maybe I can be happier.”
ZOREN LEGASPI: “Carmina and I give each other space. We don’t check on each other’s whereabouts or nag each other. That’s one of the reasons our marriage works.”
MO TWISTER: “Call me anything except a liar.”
KEAN CIPRIANO: “Kahit sumikat pa ko sa pag-aartista, never ko iiwanan ang banda kong Callalily. Sabay kami lahat nagsimula so magkasama kami all the way.”
For ‘Sendong’ victims
OPM artists have launched the OPM2Go website where music lovers can download the song “Pilipino, Kaya Natin ’To” for P15. Proceeds from sales will go to the Philippine Red Cross for “Sendong” victims.
