BEING linked with her co-stars is no longer new to sexy actress Sanya Lopez. "Hanggang to the point na, 'Ha? Totoo ba? Nananahimik ako dito. Bakit ako?' So, minsan magugulat ka na lang kung bakit ka nadamay dun sa sitwasyon. Sabi ko, 'Ha? Hindi talaga."
Sanya is being linked to Gabby Concepcion, Pancho Magno, and Bong Revilla. Gabby is Sanya's leading man in "First Yaya". Pancho did an episode with Sanya in "Magpakailanman" and "Wish Ko Lang," while Bong was her leading man in "Agimat at Agila".
"Lahat ata ng naging partner ko, nagkaroon ako ng kuwento na kung anu-ano tungkol sa kanila," says Sanya.
When rumors came to her, she still gets shocked. Like for instance the successful series "First Yaya".
"Basta kung ano ang nakikita niyo, may nakikita tayo na hindi natin dapat pinaniniwalaan. Siyempre may mga pinaniniwalaan tayo. Pero, alamin din natin kung paniniwalaan ba natin. So, yun lang masasabi ko. Go na sila! Basta ako, kalmado ako dito. Single ako, happy ako."
If someone would court her, she makes sure the intention is sincere,
"Hindi ko alam kung nanliligaw ba yung isang tao. Ayoko kasi mag-assume. Kasi, parang, baka naman sweet sa akin, sweet din sa iba. Hindi natin alam. Kung puwede lang ay diretsahin na niya.
Kaya minsan, 'Nanliligaw ka ba? Sabihin mo na lang.' Kapag nakikita mong nagpupunta dito sa bahay, nag-e-effort na, dun mo palang masasabing nanliligaw."
At 25, Sanya is NBSB (no boyfriend since birth). What qualities would a man possess for her to be in a relationship?
"Masasabi ko lang yun na di na ako NBSB kapag, una, napatunayan niya sa akin na mahal niya ako.
Pangalawa, may pangarap din siya sa life niya. Hindi yung ako lang ang nangangarap. Paano ka?
Yun bang sure ako, kahit man ako maging girlfriend niya o iba, dapat may pangarap siya sa life niya."

John Prats admits it's "really hard" to juggle his two roles in two shows: being a co-actor in Ang Probinsyano and a director in It's Showtime. Since 2016, John has been playing the role of Jerome, a member of Cardo’s (Coco Martin) Task Force Agila, in the Kapamilya primetime series FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano.
In July 2021, John was assigned to become the director of another long-running ABS-CBN program, It’s Showtime, which holds live shows every two weeks. He first joined the show in May 2021 as director of the “Reina ng Tahanan” segment.
Now that John is about to enter another cycle of lock-in taping for FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano, he has to take a break from his directorial duties in It’s Showtime, which airs daily. Other directors will helm the noontime show temporarily for the duration John is inside the bubble taping.
In the meantime, what does the future hold for the character of John in FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano? Is Jerome going to be killed?
John stressed, “Wala pa namang sinasabing ganoon!”
He went on to sing high praises for FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano lead star and director Coco Martin.
John said, “Ibibigay ko sa matalik kong kaibigan, si Coco. Sobra niyang suportado iyong pagdidirek ko at nararamdaman ko iyon every time nag-uusap kami kung gaano siya ka-proud sa akin, at kung gaano rin ako ka-proud sa kanya kung ano ang achievements niya.”
