1. These words: "He is my lover." Would you take those back if you could? Why or why not?

I would never lie about that part, but the internet story of me getting arrested smoking pot is so untrue. I have never been arrested for drugs. Urband Legend. He is my lover, my bestfriend, my soulmate. I fought for the relationship and still keep my vow. I am married to the Philippines. He is my lover. No. I would never take it back. It is the truth. I'll take back the bad parts though. Why? Because.

2. For the readers not following who you are, describe where you started and how you got to where you are now. Take all the words you need.

I started as an extra in a movie my Mom produced. Kumander Dayang Dayang. I played the young Johnny Delgado who turns into a rebel. Leftist movie. I think all the movies I have participated or acted in are socialist propaganda in nature. Then I acted in Sto. Kristo with FPJ ( My mentor ) and then that was it. I began my childstar days. ( Kinda streotypical like one for E True Hollywood story ) Ganito kami Noon Paano kayo Ngayon is memorable to me. Tatak ng Tondo with FPJ. All the best movies I made was with FPJ Productions and Eddie Romero.

3. Three things you wish you could live without, but can't. Explain.

1. My dog... Georgie or Dyords whatever spelling you like. Were like Wallace and Gromit. Sometimes I do not know who is walking whom. And my Family.

2. Let me see I dont have a cellphone...probably this MAC pc. Oh and satellite television. Eat Bulaga. Im so jologs and I love Tito Vic And Joey, the humour is so saguine. I am addicted to 24 Oras, TV Patrol, The World Tonight, Bandila, Pipol, Korina Today, news and news. I dont watch the Buzz or Startalk. Seldom I see S-FIles, the director and one of the hosts are friends BBC CNN TV5 RAI also. I love the idiot box. I want my MTV!

3. Jesus Christ. It is so easy to get caught up by worldy things, material and power and social stature and what not... I can not let a day go by without my conversations with Jesus Christ who keeps me safe and grounded.

4. If someone tries to poison you with a black mamba in your clothes hamper, who should the police question first? Second? Third? Why?

1. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo 2. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo 3. Gloria macapagal Arroyo Why? Hello Garci?

5. Take a picture of your favorite article of clothing, soiled or otherwise. Annotate.

I would take a picture of it but wont. its a "member's only" jacket circa 80's black leather. Orig. Or the PMA jacket given to me by my President who is under house arrest. Echo Company.

6. An artist who's life you can personally relate to. Elaborate.

John Lennon and Jose Rizal. Combined. Given elaboration. I cant seem to choose which one.

7. Share the dirtiest little "That's Entertainment!" secret you care to reveal. THE lowdown dirtiest. Was there any backstage action between Isabel and Caselyn?

How they treated Lea Salonga. we were the champion Thursday group. They treated her like....crap. And then Miss Saigon comes and the Tony and the Olivier, and she is a goddess... Lea now I guess is bemused. I am fan of hers. Isabel and Kaselyn no. But a lot of teen age love affairs. Young love sweet love. Kaselyn also became Kim in Miss Saigon.

8. Plastic surgery: what would you get done? If not today, any time in the future.

My nose, I got it done 17 years ago... and 45 minutes after the operation my Mom ala Mommie Dearest slaps me, that is why its crooked.. I look like Bakekang hahaha I'll get it done once again and Liposuction on my waist..... eeeggad! I left the Philippines with a 32 inch waist line and now its a horrific 37! I stopped my daily regimen of exercise from running, yoga and swimming. I exercised before but now its hard... I read bryanboy for diet tips! I am on a diet every single day. My weight yoyo's, being sober makes you gain weight. Medications have certain side effects. I want appetite suppresants!

9. You call yourself a "has been actor". Recall the turning point to your "has been"-ness, and what you could have done otherwise.

1989 my ex forbade me to act in front of the camera's. To stay away from showbiz. To live a life of privacy. I stayed home did the domesticated part. Cooked, painted, gardened, took care of our dog. Attended ribbon cuttings. Fashion shows. Pseudo socialite. Kinda like role play. I was only allowed to participate in Fine Arts.

My has-been-ness came when I turned into the plastic arts or life as a visual / performance artist. I was probably banned by the showbiz industry because I could not bear the utter 'showbizness' or hypocrazy. I ruffled many feathers and made many enemies. I always told it like it was or is.... and some secrets I still keep today.

Whenever I do a film it is always called a comeback, which is weird because I stayed away from showbiz... And somehow never left but...If I make a film they always say its a comeback, Its more like choosing the right story and working with credible actors.. my last movie was with Nora Aunor called " Care Home " it was just a cameo. It was a personal decision... to be choosy. And its self deprecation. My generation has grown up and are 35-45 years old... I dont think they have time for LOt Lot and Friends or That's Entertainment 21 years hence... The art world is amused I guess. They never know where to 'label' me.. or put me in a box.

I have to say though there are good people in both industry's. And bad one's. I hate being a celebrity but love being an artist/actor.

10. To follow-up, discourage anyone reading this from becoming an actor.

It's a bloody mess! Too many masks to wear. Greek theatre. If your a good hypocrite go, if not you'll have an early heart attack. Especially with showbiz reporters who think they can run and ruin your life. Chismis Dyusmio! Que barbaridad! And you'd have to sleep around with managers, or directors ( rapists and predators if you ask me ), sell your soul to the producers, who want meat before celluloid. It's very true.

Bonus question: My mom's turning 75. What do I get her?

Give her a one week spa treatment. Or a gift check for spa theraphy. I think Conde Nast said one of the bests spa's in the world is in Batangas the Philippines Get her a manicure. pedicure, massage, aromathreraphy, facials, the works. For one whole week!

My thanks to Dranreb. Good luck with everything.
