For veteran actor, age is just a number … worth concealing

You’d think a working trip abroad would excite anybody who loves to travel. Well, not everybody … and certainly not Veteran Star (VS).

VS did look thrilled when Production Manager (PM) told him to prepare some documents needed for the team’s travel plans. But VS’ mood changed drastically when PM went back to him and said, “By the way, sir … ilang taon na po pala kayo (how old are you)?”

A few seconds of silence passed before VS, looking nonplussed, answered, “Kailangan pa ba ‘yan?” Looks like PM hit a nerve. And we thought only women were sensitive about revealing their real age. Ooops.

This week’s top show biz news from the tabloids (and why we are moved, if we are moved):
