• Kapuso comediennes revealed how laughter can be the best medicine.
• These comediennes stressed how they make others laugh also heal the audience.

Mirth is the currency for Kapuso comediennes Aiai delas Alas, Divine Tetay, Tekla and Kiray Celis in their industry of slapstick.

They are the ones relied on for people needing entertainment and time away from their personal troubles or even just to lighten up their moods.

What about their own happiness?

“Kahit malungkot kami, kaya naming magbigay ng happiness sa ibang tao… Struggle kasi akala nila na everytime na kapag nakikita nila kami feeling nila ang saya-saya namin palagi,” Celis disclosed.

“Nakakalimutan nila na may nararamdaman din ako. Hindi ko kayang ipakita iyong mga ganung moment,” she added.

And even though their circumstances may get hard, they must put on a brave face to continue the show.

In the face of misery, it is easier for Divine Tetay to recover from it due to the nature of his work.

“Because we need to put on a happy face. So eventually, it helps us heal faster and deal with whatever problems there is,” he explained.

“Ang sarap magpatawa at magperform,” said Tekla. He then referred their talents of making others laugh as a ‘real gift’.

Monasterio shared that he’s very excited about the comeback movie and he’s thankful for those who trusted his skills as an actor.

GMA Films produced some award-winning movies such as Jose Rizal, Muro-Ami, Sa Pusod ng Dagat, Death Row, and a few more others.

After Felipe Gozon took over the film production branch of GMA Network, it was placed on hiatus for about five years.

In his Mama Ogs Say Facebook post on December 24, the writer and talent manager shared his thoughts about timely subjects including Kiray’s network transfer, the Metro Manila Film Festival, and even the godmothers and godfathers who hide from their godchildren when it’s Christmas season.

He said that he sees no problem with Kiray’s signing with GMA-7 because that doesn’t chang who she is.

“Okay lang naman. Pagbali-baligtarin man ang mundo, Kiray Celis is Kiray Celis. Just like Anna Dizon is Anna Dizon.”

Ogie also shared his fearless forecast regarding the MMFF entries.

“Obvious namang topgrosser na naman ang pelikula ni Vice Ganda, ‘yung “Fantastika. Followed by “Puliscredibles” nina Vic Sotto at Coco Martin, then tie ‘yung “Aurora” ni Anne Curtis at “Rainbow Sunset, then “Orange Dress” nina Jericho at Jessy Mendiola. Hanggang du’n na lang muna at nakalimutan kong hindi naman ako si Madame Auring. Wala bang entry ang Ms. Valenzuela?”

He then gave advice to the godparents who hid from their godchildren this Holiday season, saying that instead of not showing themselves, they should just tell the truth.

“So kung wala kang pambigay na regalo o aginaldo, sabihin mo ang totoo kesa takasan mo. Kung malalaki na ang mga inaanak mo, i-tag mo sa post mo sa fb na pasensiya na at walang-wala si ninong. ‘Yan ay kung mapapaniwala mo sila sa paeklat mo.

“Maging totoo na lang, kesa mangutang ka para lang magpabida sa mga inaanak mo. Pangakuan mo na lang na magreregalo ka sa birthday niya, tutal, hindi naman magkaka-birthday ang mga inaanak mo. Kung walang-wala, magpakatotoo. Kung meron, ‘wag magdamot. Hindi naman araw-araw ang Pasko.”

He also admitted that he, too, has a lot of godchildren then shared circumstances that he faced in the past regarding the giving of gifts.

“Diyos ko, sobra. ‘Yung iba, binigyan mo na, tapos, ‘yung magulang, sasabihin, ‘Pare, baka pwede mo namang dagdagan, minsan lang naman ang Pasko.’ Sinasagot ko ng, ‘Pare, hindi ikaw ang inaanak ko… ‘yung anak mo.’

“Meron pang eksena, ‘Pare, baka pwede mong dagdagan, magmo-mall pa kami ng inaanak mo.’ Sasagutin ko ng, ;Ah, gano’n ba? O, sige, bawasan mo ng 3k ‘yung utang mo sa akin.’ Di ba, nakakalokah? As if ‘yung anak lang nila ang kaisa-isa mong inaanak na umaasa sa ‘yo ng aginaldo?

“Kaya ako, dumating na talaga ako sa point na pag hindi ko ka-close ‘yung kumukuha sa aking ninong sa binyag ng anak nila, sinasabi ko, ‘Kelan lang naman tayo nagkakilala. Saka na, sa next na anak mo na lang. By then siguro, close na tayo.'”
