GELLI DE BELEN was surprised when GMA News TV Channel 11 offered her to be one of the new hosts of “Tweetbiz Insiders”. “Pinag-isipan ko munang mabuti kung tatanggapin ko,” she says. “Kasi artista rin ako, baka marami akong itatago. O baka marami akong makaaway na kapwa ko artista. But after a while, I decided to try it kaya tinanggap ko. Ngayon, I’m enjoying it kasi masaya ang mga kasama ko. Ang feeling ko, nagkukuwentuhan lang kami sa show at ang dami kong nalalamang bagong chismis from my co-hosts Lolit Solis and Tim Yap, and our reporters led by Gorgy Rula and Ronnie Carrasco. Actually, ako yung insider ng showbiz na puede mo sabihing outsider sa show kasi madalas, di ko nasusundan yung latest issues na pinag-uusapan o kaya, when they show a newcomer, I ask, sino yan?”
So what has she got to offer in the show? “My candidness. Natutuwa nga ang mga kasama ko kasi makapal ang mukha ko in asking questions na di nila matanong sa guests namin. I did ‘Sis’ naman for 8 years kaya alam kong limit ko as a host. But I also try to take the point of view ng mga kapwa ko artista as I believe there are always two sides of the story, para balanse.”
