MANILA, OCTOBER 29, 2012 (PHILSTAR) FUNFARE By Ricardo F. Lo - The
future "Loudspeaker of The House" has spoken.
"I'm ready," declared Annabelle Rama, who's running for congresswoman in the
North District of Cebu, during a break at the recent pictorial with all members
of her family. "There's no more turning back."
It's the first time for the Gutierrezes to sit for a pictorial which was
specially arranged for the 2013 Family Calendar.
"I've been going around Cebu and my constituents have been asking for a
picture of our family," said Annabelle. "So here we are," all smiles!
It was A-list photographer Mau Mauricio who took the pictures, the same guy
who takes those glossy portraits for Esquire Philippine Edition.
Okay, say "Cheese!" Click: Annabelle with husband Eddie Gutierrez, Ruffa and
daughters Lorin and Venice, Rocky with son David, Elvis, Ritchie Paul, and twins
Richard and Raymond.

All members had tight individual schedules, Eddie with the ABS-CBN soap Ina,
Kapatid, Anak; Richard with his GMA shows (Extreme Challenge, etc.), Raymond
with his own GMA show H.O.T. TV (and as fashion consultant of Esquire), and
Ruffa with her myriad activities.
It was Ruffa who nagged everybody to keep one Sunday morning free. As
creative director, Raymond was in-charge of the "motif" (what clothes to wear,
etc.). The photo session proceeded without any hitch. Everybody, smile and again
say, "Cheese!" Click, click, click!!!
Morning of the next day, Annabelle flew back to Cebu where she has been
staying for weeks now, not yet campaigning (the 45-day campaign officially
starts on March 28 next year yet) but paying "my constituents" regular visits to
check what their problems and concerns are. Cebu's big businesses are found in
the North District, such as SM Mall, Ayala Center, hotels, etc.
"I come to Manila only when I have to attend meetings and contract-signings
for my talents," said Annabelle. "I fly in in the morning and fly back to Cebu
late the same day."
A Sto. Niño devotee (who grew up with the nuns at the Asilo dela Milagrosa in
Cebu), Annabelle prays and hears Mass regularly at the Sto. Niño Shrine. For
years now, while based in Manila, she would go to Cebu purposely to attend Mass
at the Shrine and then return to Manila.
When she filed her Certificate Of Candidacy (COC) first week of October,
Annabelle and her entourage (including her friend-reporters from Manila like
Ronald Constantino, Jun Lalin and Jojo Gabinete) first heard Mass at the Cebu
Metropolitan Cathedral and walked to the Sto. Niño Shrine before going to the
COMELEC.
At the media briefing, the Cebu press asked Annabelle how she felt being
called "The Loudspeaker of The House" (that is, if and when) and she admitted
that she was proud of the "title" (given to her by Funfare).
If elected, she promised, "I will be the Loudspeaker of my constituents in
Congress."
