Guess what excites Sue Ramirez?
It’s having Zanjoe Marudo as her leading man!
She and Zanjoe — her crush — are paired in “The Broken Marriage Vow.”
Of course, Sue has a boyfriend whom she loves deeply and looks forward to marrying one day. The guy, Javi Benitez, is 25 years old and is in showbiz, too.
Javi is the son of billionaire businessman, TV and movie producer, and ex-politician Albie Benitez. Albie, a former congressman, owns Brightlight Productions, where writer, producer, radio anchor and PR expert Pat P. Daza works.
We heard Albie might return to politics.

Javi, according to Sue, might also run for public office.
To be a politician has always been Javi’s dream, said Sue. He took up Political Science in Sta. Clara University in California. His minor is Computer Science.

Rep. Lucy Torres is definitely running for the senate next year.
She will be a party mate of Senator Ping Lacson and Senate President Tito Sotto, who are running for president and vice president.
Which means she is running for the National Party Coalition and not for her own party, the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban).
The past months have been critical for her, Rep Lucy revealed. Just recently, her husband Richard Gomez, the current mayor of Ormoc City, was diagnosed with Covid-19.
Thank God that he is now okay, said Lucy.
Asked if Richard would run for reelection or for a higher office, Lucy merely smiled and replied: “Hindi namin napag-u-usapan.”

Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto has not been romantically linked to anyone, unlike his dad who dated a number of girls before marrying Pauleen Luna.
Definitely running for reelection is Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto.
Now 32 years old, Mayor Vico’s following wonder why he has not been linked publicly to anyone.
“Exact opposite siya of his dad (referring to host-actor Vic Sotto), na open book ang love life,” observed someone.
“It’s only lately that his romantic encounters stopped.
“Which obviously is why affirmed in print si Pauleen (Luna) of how much Vic loves her.”
“Sincerely,” Pauleen is quick to say.
Pauleen tied the knot with Vic in 2016.
Pauleen is now 32; Vic’s 67.
The couple have a daughter, Talitha, 3.

Singer-actress Julie Anne San Jose’s digital billboard is on display at Times Square in New York.
It is for the streaming service Spotify.
Julie Anne just finished the much-talked about series, “Heartful Café,” where she was paired with David Licauco.
Like coffee, people surmised that something was brewing between them. However, nothing came out of it.
It is unfortunate because the two would have made a good couple.
Julie Anne’s last boyfriend was actor Benjamin Alves. While they were together, theirs appeared an ideal romance. There was never any explanation from either of the two about why they broke up.
In any case, how true is it that David’s parents, both of Chinese descent, hopes he would choose someone from a Chinese family?
