Chokoleit Falls Off Reno Stage
(Got “carried away” in “Teleserye Royals”)
SEEN IN THE CITY
The “Teleserye Royals” in Reno huge arena was pitch black when the spotlight revealed a confident Chokoleit, escorted by four (4) burly escorts, poised in anatomical position, walking towards the boxing ring-like square stage (but without the perimeter ropes).
Chokoleit tagged along on top of the more than 6-foot high stage, Darwin Victa, 20, a volunteer from the audience in his special number to the tune of Martin Nieveras’ “Kahit Isang Saglit”.
They were acting out a couple during their intimate moments, driving around, frolicking and rolling on the beach (yes, ala “From Here To Enternity”) when suddenly, the couple disappeared from the audience’s view onstage – they both fell off the stage (see accompanying photos captured moments before the fall).
Maricar Reyes (being a doctor, herself) kept on insisting that Chokoleit see a doctor immediately and kept on asking him probing questions on how he feels. Darwin Victa, the volunteer began feeling pain in his left leg and was ordered to seek medical treatment that night as well.
As of presstime, both fall guys are reportedly doing fine.
Aside from Chokoleit, “Teleserye Royals” in Reno also featured Coco Martin and today’s hottest loveteam - Gerald Anderson and Kim Chiu, together with Maja Salvador, Maricar Reyes, former Bay Area resident Gabby Concepcion and PDA Grand Champion Yeng Constantino.
