Are The Stars Out Tonight?

 Not everybody has a chance to brush elbows with the stars in the entertainment, modeling, and pageant industries so when the invitation starts knocking at my door ... who am I to refuse. Others may frown at it ... but it is irresistible. Well-meaning friends have given us the opportunity on a silver platter (it is like allowing us to get something easily ... without having to work on it) so when I saw the window ... in basketball lingo - an opening ... all I did was to dribble the ball ... do the lay-up and shoot it for the much-needed money shot.

In soap operas, you will see roles that are flash in the pan ... you will see them now and the next time you realize they're gone. And some actors by virtue of being good at what they do ... create indelible characters that convince the audience and fellow actors ... that this man needs to stay.

This happened to McCoy de Leon in Batang Quiapo. The fact of the matter is ... his character is good only for a brief period of time ... but because he was good at being bad ... his character evolved and look what happened he stayed with BQ for 2 years already ... and it looked like his end has not come yet ... because just like Tanggol ... he has nine lives too.

McCoy in real life is the exact opposite of his screen persona. He has a ready smile ... he has a firm handshake you could almost feel the man is real and sincere.

McCoy indeed is the Real McCoy!
