Cesar Montano on his son Diego's accusations against him

CESAR MONTANO is elated that when he went to Tacloban’s Sangyaw Festival, people were calling him Andres, his role in the hit sitcom “Andres de Saya”. “Marami kasing natutuwa kay Andres, pati yung mga in denial and unaware na under pala sila sa misis nila,” he says. “We should also give credit to my misis, Iza Calzado, magaling mang-under.”

How about his first TV wife in “Kaya ni Mr., Kaya ni Mrs.”? What can he say about the case she’s facing against two maids she allegedly maltreated? “Akong unang nalungkot when I heard about that, but I’ll just keep quiet about it and pray for her na sana, maayos niya ang lahat.” His son with Teresa Loyzaga, Diego, allegedly denounced him for negligence. “I asked him about it and he said, ‘Dad, it didn’t come from me.’ It’s said wala kaming communication but it’s not true kasi we text or talk to each other everyday. But it’s true I’m against his joining showbiz as he grew up abroad at di pa siya sanay sa kultura natin. I even wrote ABS-CBN boss Cory Vidanes not to get him. Sabi ko, wag muna, baka mapahiya lang tayo diyan. But they said di nila pababayaan, aalagaan nilang mabuti, iwo-workshop daw nila so, kahit tutol ako, I said I’ll just support his decisión to join showbiz. O ayan ngayon, naiintriga pa kami. Someone even said nagseselos daw ako sa kanya kasi he’s so close to my wife (Sunshine Cruz), which is a big lie.”

“Andres de Saya” will last be seen on its Saturday slot tonight. Next weekend, it’ll give way to Manny Pacquiao’s game show and will be rescheduled on Sunday night. “I’m very positive about that kasi on Sunday nights, mas maraming makakapanood sa show. Sabado, usually lumalabas ang buong family. Sunday, nasa bahay lahat kasi may pasok na uli the next day, kaya mas mataas ang viewership on Sundays. Also, GMA’s Sunday night will be a solid comedy block with us and ‘Pepito Manaloto’ that’s also rating very high.”

“Andres” will be replacing “Mel and Joey”, which will be axed. We Heard Mel Tiangco cried when she learned this as she’s been on the Sunday night slot since she left ABS and moved to GMA for more than 8 years now.
