Ryan has long wanted to follow his half-brother, Luis
Manzano’s footsteps. But his mom and dad, former senator Ralph Recto, want him
to focus on his studies first. Ryan Christian is an honor student at the De La
Salle University.
By the way, do you know that it’s Governor Vi, no less, who
helps Ryan with his assignments?
Ryan obviously got his mom’s permission for him to join
showbiz on the condition that, no matter what, he’ll prioritize his studies.
Luis finished a course in Hotel and Restaurant Management,
also at La Salle. His dad is actor and Optical Media Board chairman Edu Manzano.

It looks like the sexy star who swore she has never succumbed
to cosmetic surgery, as she was said to be satisfied with her looks and physical
attributes, has now decided to have a boob job.
And it compliments her body as she now looks even sexier. And
the ad-ded bulge on her bosom is just right for the role assigned to her in her
current project, which requires her to show more flesh and cleavage.

For his age, John Prats, 23, has invested his showbiz
earnings to good use. I remember when I interviewed John a year ago when he
proudly told me that he and his family owned a 10-door apartment near their old
residence in Sta. Mesa, Manila. They had all the units rented, including their
old house.
He laughed when we told him that the rental of the building
is enough to support their family.
Just recently we read in a magazine that John and his family
have a six-unit townhouse in a compound, also close to their house in Cainta,
Rizal. All these units are for sale, two of which, in fact, have already been
sold.
"The units are not of the same sizes," John was quoted
saying. "May unit of small sizes, medium, and large. Para lahat ng
klase ng buyers can be accommodated."
The Prats tapped a named architect and engineer to design and
supervise the construction of the townhouses. They are more than satisfied with
the results.
Come to think of it, isn’t Shaina Magdayao, John’s rumored
girlfriend, into the same business? Shaina also owns an eight-door studio type
apartment in Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon City.

Kris Aquino refuses to compare her current teleserye,
"Patayin sa Sindak si Barbara," with the two horror movies, "Feng Shui" and "Sukob,"
which she did for Star Cinema. Both movies, produced by Star Cinema and directed
by Chito Roño, emerged as blockbusters at the box office.
The TV series "Patayin sa Sindak si Barbara" is an adaptation
of the horror flick of the same title which Susan Roces produced and starred for
her own movie firm, Rosas Productions in 1974.
Born on Feb. 14, 1972, Kris was only two years old when the
original "Patayin …" was released.
"But I’d say that Kris is most fit to do the role I
originally played. Although, iba siyempre ang approach niya sa
role ni Barbara kaysa akin. As I said, itong ‘Patayin …’
ngayon is a series. ‘Yong ‘Patayin …’ ko was a movie," said
Susan.
The people behind the TV series purposely created a role for
Susan who feels grateful for her character in the teleserye.
A non-life character, Chelsea, the doll possessed by Ruth’s spirit, is
introduced here and joins the cast of Jodi Sta. Maria-Lacson as Ruth, Albert
Martinez as Fritz, Maja Salvador as Agnes, Jay-R Siaboc as Dale and child star
Celine Lim as Karen.
