QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“I miss the old Tom.”– by Pinoy Big Brother’s Tom Mott, now known in the Philippines as Tom Rodriguez, who recently headlined the highly-successful comedy “Here Comes The Bride” with Angelica Panganiban and Eugene Domingo. He send a Facebook message this journalist last Sunday night. Due to sleep deprivation brought about by his hectic shooting schedule, he frequently gets sick in Manila and had lost a lot of weight since he relocated (to pursue an acting career) from Arizona. He misses his old self – all buffed and 20 lbs heavier but is not complaining. He is scheduled to perform in a concert tour here in San Francisco this coming November with his new all-male singing group called VoizBoys (with Jay-R Siaboc, Guji Lorenzana and Nico Antonio).
