Acting Career Of Survivor Philippines Winner Betong Sumaya Gets A Big Boost

WINNING in Survivor Philippines definitely boosted comedian Albert “Betong” Sumaya’s career. He now stars in a special episode of GMA’s Spooky Valentine entitled “Manicurista”. “I play Curie,” he says. “Isa kong manikuristang ang only ambition in life is to properly raise my adopted child Yoyo. Mabait si Curie, kaya lang may weakness siya, mga boys. Hindi siya maka-resist sa mga mhin na gusto lang siyang kuwartahan.”

Betong is paired with Ryan Eigenmann who plays Kiko, his new boyfriend. “Hindi ko alam, ito palang si Kiko, di lang inuubos ang kita ko kundi ginagawa rin yung ampon ko na runner for a drug syndicate. Nang malaman ko, siempre, nagalit ang byuti ko and I confront him. Pero sa halip humingi ng tawad, pinatay niya ko.”

And so he comes back as a ghost to protect Yoyo from Kiko who continues to abuse the boy. “Pero may koneksiyon pala si Kiko sa mga alagad ng kadiliman kaya nilabanan ako ng backers niyang bad spirits. May fantastic showdown kami kaya abangan nyo sa Spooky Valentine after ‘Manny’s Many Prizes’ on GMA-7 this Saturday night.”
