Roderick Paulate happy for the high rating of Munting Heredera

RODERICK PAULATE is such a hit playing the sympathetic role of the gay teacher, Kuya Manny, who took good care of the poor Jennifer (Mona Louise Ray) in “Munting Heredera”. The scene where they get separated from each other made a lot of viewers cry, but now, they’ll be back in each other’s arms. “Kahit sa city hall, ang tawag sa’kin ng mga tao, Konsehal Manny or Tatay Manny dahil tumatak sa kanila yung pagiging good father k okay Jennifer,” says Roderick who’s a councillor at the second district of Quezon City. “I’m so happy with this show dahil ang tagal ko ng di nakakagawa ng drama.”

He won a best actor award for “Ded Na si Lolo” and now, the movie will be shown in Darwin, Australia and the organizers there requested Director Soxie Topacio to bring Dick along with him. “I told them aayusin ko munang sked ko kasi three times a week ang taping ko sa ‘Munting Heredera’ tapos ayokong mag-absent sa council meetings namin ni Vice Mayor Joy Belmonte.”

He’s glad that “Munting Heredera” has been extended for five more weeks since it’s now rating very high. “Ilalaban din daw ito sa Asian TV Festival in November,” he adds.

Dick also just signed a two-picture contract with Viva Films, aside from the movie he’ll do with Maricel Soriano to be shot in Italy. But what will happen now that Maricel is in hot water because of the complaint of two housemaids against her?

“I haven’t seen her since noong mag-story conference ang movie namin. Basta ang alam ko, tuloy ang movie and, I’m not so sure, but I heard nandun na yata siya sa Europe.”
