MANILA, SEPTEMBER 6, 2012 (PHILSTAR) FUNFARE By Ricardo F. Lo - In
his brief but meaningful speech praising Grace Poe-Llamanzares for her work as
head of MTRCB (Movies and Television Review and Classification Board), Pres.
Noynoy Aquino mentioned an impending "announcement" that kept the guests
guessing you know, does it have to do with Grace's inclusion in the Liberal
Party's senatorial slate in the 2013 elections?
The word at Milky Way (Makati City) where Grace's 43rd birthday dinner was
held on Sunday (a day before her birthday, Sept. 3) was that P-Noy is still
trying to convince Grace to say "yes."
"Nililigawan pa ni P-Noy si Ma'am Grace," said an insider.
In answer to Funfare's question yesterday, Grace texted back, "Hahaha! May
mga consideration. Not yet final."
If ever Grace ran (she almost did in 2007), the Poe Factor would surely work
wonders for her at the polls. Here and now, I reserve my vote for her.
Besides P-Noy, showbiz's favorite president…Erap, who else!...was also around
accompanied by sons Sen. Jinggoy Estrada and San Juan Rep. JV Ejercito.
Newly-appointed DILG Secretary Mar Roxas came with wife Korina Sanchez, and so
did MMDA chairman Francis Tolentino and Budget Secretary Butch Abad.
TV5 was represented by Kapatid executives Bobby Barreiro and Ray Espinosa,
and ABS-CBN by Kapamilya executives Cory Vidanes and Deo Endrinal. One third of
the 30-plus MTRCB members was accounted for, with Gladys Reyes and Leah Navarro
as hosts of the mini program. Leah obliged with a rendition of her
walang-kamatayang hit Kailangan Kita.
On hand to help entertain guests (from showbiz, politics and business) were
Grace's mom Susan Roces, and Grace husband Neil Llamanzares and their children
Brian (who did a martial-arts exhibition), Hanna and Nika.
Even with the presidential presence (P-Noy stayed for more than two hours),
the affair was casual and informal. As in Grace's birthday party at the MTRCB
office last year, there was singing and dancing.
When P-Noy left, a guest said, "Sayang, we forgot to ask him to sign. Mahilig
siyang kumanta sa ganitong okasyon, eh."
Meanwhile, the Birthday Girl is weighing the pros and cons (as she put it,
"the considerations") before she gives her final answer.
Your guess is as good as anybody's.
