This Holy Week, some Kapuso stars are taking a break, be it spending time with their family, going on a trip or simply taking time to reflect. Text by Erick Mataverde. Interviews by the iGMA Team. Photos by Mitch S. Mauricio.
JC Tiuseco: Sa Holy Week I'll be going to Bora[cay] para mag-shoot ng mga segment ko for Unang Hirit. Hehe. So, hindi rin talaga ako makakabakasyon.
Iza Calzado: No plans [actually]. I'd like to spend it with [my] loved ones, my family. Last year, I got to spend with one day [with my dad], but I was with the [Joaquin] Bordado group.
For now, I guess, I don’t think, I’ll be spending time with people here [in All About Eve], unless they’re going to Sagada or something, 'cause I wanna go there. Maybe it’s time that I go somewhere that I can reflect and be closer to God and nature. I think [when you’re closer to] nature, you really feel the power of God and nature is there sa bundok, sa beach. Kaya nga lang puno ang beach -- huwag ka pupunta doon, palengke siya. I mean go somewhere, where you can feel His love more and and so He can feel your love din.
Mark Anthony: "Baka Cebu. 'Yung lugar doon pwede naming gamiting bahay ng kamag-anak para tipid."
Ian Veneracion: Holy Week? Depende sa sked nito (his show Totoy Bato).(laughs) ‘Pag nagkaroon ng kaunting bakante, siguro bakasyon with the family. ‘Pag hindi, dyan lang, Manila lang. Actually ang sarap din sa Manila kapag Holy Week kasi walang tao -- sarap mag-drive sa EDSA, sarap umikot-ikot sa mga kaibigan mong malayo ang bahay, [na] hindi mo napupuntahan.
Dennis Trillo: Kasi ngayon 'yung operation ko so kung kaya ko na, baka swimming na lang din. Kung hindi, bisitahin na lang nila (family and friends) ako sa bahay.
Bing Loyzaga: Holy Week? Kung walang taping [or] if we finish taping by that time, we're hoping to visit my parents in Australia. If not, then we'll just be here.
Usually my eldest daughter's birthday, Alyssa and I, always fall on a Holy Week, either Good Friday or Black Saturday…kaya hindi masyadong ma-party! (laughs). 'Di ba debut ng anak ko [noong] Good Friday? Nakailang Good Friday na rin ako. If I'll not be with my parents, I will just be here…
Magbo-Boracay? Hindi naman. Daming tao! Tyempuhan ko 'yung mga November, walang tao (laughs). Di ba, sa iyong sa iyo 'yung buong beach! Pero 'yung makikipagsiksikan ka? Ay! Wala na ko dun, nakakahiya kung nandun pa ko ano ba! 'Yung anak ko siguro pwede pero ako siguro hindi na.
Kiko Rustia: I will spend time with my family kasi more than one week ko na sila hindi nakikita. Medyo naging busy these past days. So, oo, pamilya muna ako.
Chynna Ortaleza: We don't really go out during holy week, my family and my boyfriend’s family observe the Lenten season so we usually stay at home or we go to mass. For Holy Week I will spend it here in Manila. It’s my time to bond with my family and relax. There is nothing like the comfort of home. We have our own parang kumbaga, rituals -- mga ugali na nakasanayan namin.
Since summer is coming up I’m planning to have a trip, of course. That's my leisure time after every project, I go out of the country or I go to the province. So I’m thinking if I’m lucky we can go to Macau, because I haven’t been there and my friends tell me it's a nice place to visit. But if kung hindi matuloy 'yung Macau, well probably still go to Bora, kasi I was there last summer [pero] medyo latter part so medyo habagat, so hindi ko na-enjoy masyado 'yung beach. This time around, [my friends and I are] planning [to go there] after Holy Week siguro, para hindi naman masyadong packed.
Gabby Eigenmann: Probably I'll just pray for world peace, lower gas price -- mga ganoon kasi pag [pansarili] lang, we can wish for it naman every day. Pero siyempre [given] the problems that are coming in, I'll pray [for them]. [I’ll be] in the beach, probably pero I think that's a time to reflect. Vacation will always be there naman even with your busy schedule. The thing is, pagka Holy Week, 'yun nga, let's make it like a Holy Week talaga.
Kayo ba? Rest, meditation, world peace, or travel din ba ang inyong mga plano sa Holy Week na ito?
