MANILA (Mabuhay) — PAULEEN Luna got praises for approaching Dina Bonnevie (the ex-wife of her current beau, Vic Sotto) when Dina was taping for the show of Ryzza Mae Dizon on GMA7.
“We haven’t met so when I learned she was there, ako na ang lumapit at nagpakilala,” she says. “Gusto ko sana, ‘yung kaming dalawa lang para private, kaso imposible kasi ang daming tao sa set. She was very warm when I introduced myself and she even told me na napapanood niya ako sa ‘The Rich Man’s Daughter’. I’m really glad na magkakilala na kami.”
Some folks say it’s in preparation for her coming wedding to Vic.
“Naku, tigilan na sana ‘yang speculations tungkol sa wedding-wedding. When we went to Hong Kong recently, ang tsismis, magpapakasal kami roon, which is not true. Kung totoong pakakasal kami, we’ll announce it. E, wala pa talaga.”
She’s happy to be part of “The Rich Man’s Daughter” playing the role of TJ Trinidad’s wife. “Maganda ‘yung conflict sa story namin kasi arranged marriage lang kami, e. But it turns out may true love siyang teacher, si Charee Pineda.”
Since the show is about lesbianism, has she even wooed by a tomboy?
“Never. I don’t think type nila ako.”
As for Dina, she’s now taping for GMA7’s new primetime soap, “Beautiful Strangers”, with Christopher de Leon. Since Dina’s husband is the current vice governor of Ilocos Sur, DV Savellano, she often goes to Ilocos and have become an expert in making their own fabric called abel Iluco. She has made her bags, throw pillows, clothes and other garments made of abel Iluco. “Mas na-appreciate ko talaga ang Iloco products and I’m now helping the people to sell it to improve their lives,” she says. “I help them market it in different bazaars at tumutulong ako sa pagtitinda pati ng Iloco blankets.” (MNS)
