How 'Walang KokontraBIDA' stars cope with tough times

-


It's not easy being a comedian, especially if you're going through tough times.

This was revealed by Dodj Mallari and Tart Carlos, two of the stars of the forthcoming musical-comedy show "Walang KokontraBIDA" to be staged at the Newport Performing Arts Theater at the Resorts World Manila in Pasay City on Dec. 1.

For Tart and Dodj, however, those difficult times have made them better actor and stronger person.


"Maganda na rin siguro yung marami kang pinag-daanan sa buhay. So ako naman, ini-imagine ko na yung mangyayari sa eksena para madali kesyo malungkot man o masaya ang kukunang eksena," said Dodj during an interview at Salu Restaurant in Timog, Quezon City recently. Also joining them in the musical is Dionne Monsanto.

"Saka maganda rin ang turo sa amin sa workshop sa ABS CBN. So far lagi naman akong take one kung ano yung dapat mangyari," said Dodj who he said has an unspoken loyalty to the Kapamilya network.


Dodj said that he worked for ABS CBN as a public relations officer for more than three years. Now he has ventured into acting and is set to appear on several teleseryes.

After he debuted as an actor in the 2016 Kapamilya teleserye "Magpahanggang Wakas" where he played the best friend of actress Arci Munoz, Dodj will also co-star in "La Luna Sangre," "Barangay Tatay," and "On the Job." Dodj is being managed by RALF Advertising and Events Management.


Tart, who appeared in the popular morning teleserye "Be Careful With My Heart," said that she makes it a point to just laugh off her problems.

"Ako kasi, sa tutoo lang, comedy comes out naturally. Lahat ng naging problema ko pinagtawanan ko lang. Promise. Everything has been a joke. I've been a battered wife for 11 years and it won't hit me anymore," said Tart, who is currently seen on "Bossing and Ai" on the Kapuso network.


Tart added: "Hindi ko nga naisip na pwede palang lumaban nun. Hindi ko man lang naisip yun. Besides ginagawa ko na s'yang pang araw-araw na chika. Tao tayo at lahat tayo may problema. It's just that kung paano na lang natin dadalhin yun. So ako, may prpblema ako, may sakit yung nanay ko, cancer lang naman. Pero I actually make it a point to make it lighter. Kasi kung iisipin ko lang ng iisipin 'yun, wala na akong ibang gagawin kundi mag isip."

Tart is a single parent with four children, "Tatlo ang anak ko sa first, then may isa akong anak sa partner ko ngayon." Tart is also shooting for the movie "Barbie: Wonder Beki" starring Paolo Ballesteros. - ROBERT REQUINTINA

Kapamilya star Diego Loyzaga has admitted that he is reaching out to his father chief operating officer of Tourism Promotions Board Cesar Montano but he doesn't know if his dad knew that he was making the move. "Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont

"Construction in my upstairs neighbor’s condo is driving us nuts! It’s been about a year na," said Cuneta on Facebook. Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding.
