Christian ibinuking, trip si Jennylyn

Ni ROMMEL GONZALES

KAHIT may sarili siyang entry sa Metro Manila Film Festival, ang LGBTQ+ romance/feel good movie na Broken Hearts Trip, ano pa sa sampung entries ang papanoorin ni Christian Bables simula December 25, given a chance?

“Gusto ko yung Rewind ni Ms. Marian and ni Kuya Dingdong.

“Ganda nung trailer,” pagtukoy ni Christian sa movie nina Marian Rivera at Dingdong Dantes.

Ano naman pa ang nasa Top 5 niya bukod sa Rewind?

“Becky and Badette, Gomburza, Mallari, and then Firefly.”

Talent ni Boy Abunda si Christian, at bilang Kapuso na ang manager niya, may posibilidad kaya na lumipat na rin si Christian sa GMA?

“For now, wala pang ganyang usapan,” lahad ni Christian.

“Wala pang ganyang plano because meron akong mga coming shows sa ABS, sa Kapamilya Network, so for now wala pa.”

“I’m being co-managed by Kate Valenzuela of KreativDen Entertainment,” dagdag pang sinabi ni Christian.

Kung sasabihin ni Tito Boy at ni Kate na ililipat siya sa GMA, ano ang magiging reaksyon niya?

“Okay naman… I’m not closing any doors sa kahit anong network, for as long as I will feel valued, siguro game ako.”

Nakalabas na naman si Christian dati sa GMA, sa isang episode ng Magpakailanman.

Halimbawang nasa GMA na siya, may artistang nais maka-work si Christian…

“Siguro si Jennylyn Mercado, dahil mahusay umarte.”

Hindi pa niya nakakatrabaho si Jennylyn pero na-meet na niya ang aktres sa personal.

“Yes, nagkasabay yata yung pelikula namin sa isang festival, na-meet ko siya, nakita ko siya from afar, pero hindi kami nagkausap.

Sa mga male Kapuso stars?

“Sa lalake, Dennis Trillo or Paolo Contis, magaling umarte pareho, si Kuya Dingdong din, si Ms. Marian din.”

Samantala, nasa Broken Hearts Trip rin sina Teejay Marquez, Iyah Mina, Petite, Jay Gonzaga, Andoy Ranay, Marvin Yap, Ron Angeles at si Ms. Jaclyn Jose at marami pang iba.

Sa direksyon ni Lemuel Lorca at sa produksyon ng BMC Films and Smart Films, iikutin ng Broken Hearts Trip ang magagandang lugar sa Pilipinas.
