Rhian, magiging big star’

HOY, Ian F., ’di ba madalas naming banggitin sa ’yo na among the young talents ng GMA-7, kay Rhian Ramos kami may kakaibang pulso?

If properly handled, Rhian can be a big star, say pa namin.

Who can really best handle and help her than her auntie, Ida Henares, who is head of the talent arm ng GMA-7, Artists Center?

Nang sinabi namin ito sa ’yo, Ian F., nabanggit din namin na ’di pa namin siya nakikita nang personal.

Well, Ian F., we finally did see her in person recently. Sa isang event organized by the Philippine Movie Press Club (PMPC), currently headed by Fernan de Guzman (Ms. F. to Ogie Diaz and us).

The more na kumbinsido kaming it is just a matter of time before Rhian becomes a big star. But, we repeat, she’s a pretty face na ’di overwhelming, pero may kakaibang dating.

Kaya marami sa kung sinumang followers niya ngayon ang kaagad ay makaka-identify sa kanya.

Call it coincidence, Ian F., but this feeling na nadarama namin for Rhian is the same na naramdaman namin when we first caught sight of Angel Locsin nang una namin siyang makita sa wake ng nasira niyang boyfriend na si Mico Sotto (hoy Angel L., naalala mo man lang bang ipagtirik ng kandila si Mico noong Araw ng mga Patay?)

Itanong mo pa kay Annabelle Rama, who was seated with us and Dolor Guevarra nang unang araw ng wake ni Mico.

It was we who suggested to Mother Lily Monteverde to sign up Angel to a contract. We didn’t know her then. Neither did she know us.

WHAT would work to Rhian’s favor is that she is still young. Sixteen years old lang siya at maganda ang background.

Her dad is a Briton named Gareth Howell. Her mom is a sis of Ma’am Ida.

It’s good to know that in her next soap for GMA-7, Rhian will be playing the role played by Sharon Cuneta in the movie My Only Love.

Nakapanghihinayang nga lang that she’s not attending regular school. She’s on a home study program. Third year high school lang si Rhian.
