Philippine actresses: 51-year-old Lorna Tolentino looks younger than 43-year-old Gretchen Barretto

The 51-year-old Lorna Tolentino looks younger than 43-year-old Gretchen Barretto

Tonight---July 29, 2013---I met and briefly chatted with actresses Lorna Tolentino and Gretchen Barretto of the Philippines at the opening of the Naci Comfort Food Restaurant at Unit 3, Two Parkade, 7th Avenue, Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Taguig City, Metro Manila, the Philippines. 

By the way, the foods were delicious and the music was delightful. The opening night was dedicated in memory of their former consultant Chef Ed Quimson, who died last year reportedly at only age 48.

How come Lorna Tolentino looked younger than Gretchen Barretto, despite the eights years gap between the two, was it because of Gretchen's make-up or Lorna's shorter hair?

Lorna told me she just starred in the indie film entitled Burgos, which is the tale of a mother's endless search for a lost son---Edith Burgos and Jonas Burgos---who was a young leftist activist believed to have been abducted by the Philippine military. Lorna plays the role of Edith Burgos.

Other celebrities present at the inaugural of Naci resto included actress Julia Montes, Gretchen's boyfriend businessman Antonio "Tony Boy" Cojuangco, and others.

The foods at Naci restaurant are very delicious. The three owners are businessman Naci Nocom, Chevrolet car dealer Milton Ngu and former ABS-CBN 2 talent, De La Salle University graduate and beautiful the young entrepreneur Natasha Villaroman. Natasha was recently a TV commercial model for Olay.

Congratulations to superstars Coco Martin and Julia Montes, their first movie....














Coco and Julia’s first movie, perfect Valentine’s weekend treat for the whole family…
"A MOMENT IN TIME”

The phenomenal love team of Coco Martin and Julia Montes is grateful for the overwhelming support and positive feedback of moviegoers from all over the country to their first film “A Moment In Time,” which is still showing in over 130 cinemas nationwide. Produced by Star Cinema, “A Moment In Time” was graded “B” by the Cinema Evaluation Board.

“I am so happy sa reaction ng mga tao sa movie noong pinapanood nila! Honestly, sobrang lakas ng kaba ko before mag-start ang showing pero nung naririnig ko na ‘yung iba ay nagsisigawan pa sa mga eksenang pinapanood nila, parang worth it lahat ng hirap namin sa shooting,” said Julia.



Like his love team partner, Coco is overjoyed with the warm welcome of the public to their first big screen team up of Julia. “Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng magagandang feedback na naririnig namin tungkol sa pelikula. Sobra-sobrang biyaya na po ito! Sobra rin akong happy kasi finally heto na, nakikita na naming ang pinaghirapan at pinagtrabahuhan namin ng ilang buwan. Kasi binigay ko na talaga lahat sa pelikulang ito,” shared Coco. “Yung mga hindi ko usually ginagawa ay napagawa sa akin kaya laking pasasalamat ko sa Star Cinema na pumilit sa akin gawin ang mga ‘yun. Kilala n’yo naman ako ‘di ako sumasayaw, pero dito n’yo lang mapapanood ‘yun. At base naman sa reaction ng tao sa eksena nagustuhan talaga nila.”

Aside from the new talents revealed by Coco, another hot topic among fans is the ‘first kiss’ that apparently happen in the movie. “Gusto kong may maibigay naman na bago sa audience at si Coco po naman ay kasama ko na nang napakatagal kaya nandun na ‘yung tiwala,” said Julia.



Coco added that he and Julia honestly did not have a hard time doing their sweet moments since they were both comfortable with each other. “Wala namang ilangan. Mas nailang pa ‘yata si Lola Flory (ang Lola ni Julia) kasi s’yempre first time ni Julia ‘yun. Kailangan talagang abangan sa movie kung paano namin ginawa ‘yun,” Coco said.

"A Moment In Time" shares the romantic and emotional journey of Patrick (Coco) and Jillian (Julia), who both sought for true love and tried hard to hold on to it. But just when they thought that there’s happily ever after, they would discover that something could always shatter a seemingly perfect fairytale. Does everyone get that second chance to recreate that moment when you found your one true love?





Under the direction of Emmanuel Palo, also featured in "A Moment In Time" are ZsaZsa Padilla, Cherie Gil, Gabby Concepcion, Ella Cruz, and the twins from PBB Teen Edition 4 Joj and Jai Agpangan.




Give the whole family with a special Valentine’s weekend treat and witness the first-ever big screen project of Coco and Julia, "A Moment In Time," still showing in over 130 cinemas nationwide.
