MARK ANTHONY FERNANDEZ looks younger now that he lost weight. And we also like his humility in asking for Claudine Barretto's forgiveness after she called him a liar. "Hindi lang ako nabigyan ng chance to talk to her personally kaya sa interview ko na lang ipinarating sa kanya that I'm really sorry," he says. "Uli, gusto kong humingi ng tawad. Taos-puso 'yan. Ako talaga ang nagkamali nang hindi ako makarating sa meeting namin. I have no bad intentions naman kaya sana, huwag na siyang magtampo at makabawi ako sa kanya sa kahit anong paraan. I'm still willing to work her ngayong pareho na kaming nasa GMA."
Mark plays the leading man of Regine Velasquez and Glaiza de Castro in GMA'7's new soap, "Diva", to replace "Full House" that ends tonight. They turned its presscon into a big concert with everyone in the cast singing, opening with Regine's rousing "Bongga Ka, Day" number. All the characters are named after singers. Regine is Sampaguita, Mark is Gary, TJ Trinidad is Martin, Regine's parents are Elvis (Buboy Garovillo) and Paula Abdula (Gloria Diaz), Jaya is Barbra, Glaiza is Tiffany, and many more.
