Gloria Romero Moved That Gma Execs Came To Greet Her On Her 78Th Birthday

THE MUCH RESPECTED actress and 50s movie queen Gloria Romero turned 78 last Friday and, as Lola Ana in “Munting Heredera”, she was moved when all her co-stars, including Director Maryo de los Reyes, treated her to a special birthday celebration. “I’m so touched,” she says. “They made me feel they love at welcome talaga ako rito kahit ilang months pa lang ako sa GMA. Even Pres. Atty. Felipe Gozon and Vice Pres. Wilma Galvante came to greet me and give me importance.”

At 78, she has no plans of retiring. “When I’m not working, hinahanap talaga ng katawan ko. But I always find to rest when I’m not in front of the camera. Let’s face it, I’m not a spring chicken anymore, so I also take it easy. When we started ‘Munting Heredera’, we all thought it’d run for only three months and that’s it. But the response of the viewers is so great we’re now on our seventh month. Hindi talaga namin inakalang aabutin ito ng ganito katagal. I guess because puro magagaling ang mga kasama, especially the kids led by Mona Louise Ray as Jennife. But after this, I want to rest muna. ABS-CBN is offering me a new soap but I told them magpapahinga muna ako for a while at saka na lang ako babalik sa trabaho. Mas gumanda ang show dahil reunited na si Jennifer sa family namin, but ayaw pa rin kami patahimikin ng mga kalaban ng Montereal family.”
