AT A GLANCE
A study by some students at the University of Arkansas published in Science Publications found that more celebrities are born in February than any other month.
We Filipinos joke that people born in February are “kulang-kulang” (born with a deficiency) because February lacks several days to complete the month.
I disagree because some of the brightest stars in Hollywood and the Philippines celebrate their birthdays in February – Heart Evangelista, Anne Curtis, Lea Salonga, Kris Aquino, Shakira, and Michael Jordan.
It seems like a lot of stars are born in February. A study by some students at the University of Arkansas published in Science Publications found that more celebrities are born in February than any other month.
For my column today, I asked three of our brightest stars their birthday wishes. Concert King Martin Nievera, born Feb. 5, recently celebrated his 62nd birthday last Feb. 2 on ABS-CBN's noontime variety show ASAP. I asked him for his birthday wish, and he gladly told Gossip Girl, “My birthday wish is that I could live long enough to give back to all those who have blessed me with a full beautiful life and career. I want to keep singing and performing for audiences worldwide until I can’t sing a note anymore—so good health would be at the top of that wish list. Also, I still feel I still have so many shows to do. So I pray that the people are still willing to listen to my songs and that I am entertaining and interesting enough for people to hear my music.”
Actress Katya Santos whose birthday falls on Feb. 2 is praying for a baby with her non-showbiz fiancée Paolo Pilar. The celebrity got engaged last month when Paolo proposed to her at Lake Ashi in Hakone, Japan. The 43-year-old actress knows in her heart that God will give an answered prayer.
“Conceiving in your 40s is difficult, so Paolo and I have been going to fertility doctors, and we are even contemplating on IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). Of course, we will get married first, but work-ups need time to prepare. I also need to finish all my projects and shows by the end of year. So to answer your question, my birthday wish is to give Paolo a child that we will raise together as husband and wife.”
Parokya ni Edgar’s lead vocalist Chito Miranda (Feb. 7) got his birthday wish last Dec. 5 when his wife Neri Naig Miranda was released after spending almost two weeks in prison.
I randomly saw them walking together on a beach with their kids a few days ago, and I told Neri that I would continue to pray that justice would be served and that she would finally be exonerated from all charges filed against her.
Neri is currently facing 14 counts of violation of the Securities Regulation Code and Estafa. The reinvestigation of all cases will allow Neri to respond to the allegations against her.
