Surgery On Cherie Gil's Vocal Chords Would Have To Wait

SINCE ‘LEGACY’ IS about the beautiful people, the stars sashayed on the ramp like in a fashion show when they were presented at the presscon of “Legacy”, hosted by Tim Yap who’s also trying acting for the first time. Among the actresses, Cherie Gil easily stood out when she walked on stage in her figure-hugging yellow gown made for her by Charina Sarte. Cherie might be in her mid-40s but she has certainly managed to keep herself trim.

“For once, hindi ako other woman o mang-aagaw rito,” she says. “Ako yung legal wife ni Robert Sena at anak namin si Lovi Poe. I become very protective of Lovi after I found may dalawang anak sa labas ang husband ko, sina Heart Evangelista and Alessandra de Rossi. Excited ako with this show dahil first time naming magkakasamang tatlo ng nephews ko, sina Geoff Eigenmann and Sid Lucero. Nakakatuwa nga kasi their dads (Michael de Mesa and Mark Gil), magkasama rin together sa ‘Valiente’.”

We noticed her voice remains very hoarse. “Yes, I’m supposed to have a throat operation dahil sa perennial inflammation ng vocal chords ko, but na-postpone na naman because of ‘Legacy’. Alangan namang tanggihan ko ito, it’s a blessing. I’m just thankful nga na after ‘Magic Palayok’, GMA gave me a follow up agad, ‘Time of My Life’, at nang matapos yun, ito namang ‘Legacy’. I have to work, I’m a divorcee. The doctors say after I’m operasted on, I have to rest my voice from four to six months. E, paano na ang trabaho ko? Would you believe tinanggap ko rin ang musical ng Atlantis Productions, ‘Nine’, and yes, I’ll be singing. Sana may boses pa ako noon.”
