Young Comedian Kiray Celis Shines In The 'Luv U' First Anniversary Presscon

THIS SUNDAY, the youth-oriented show, “Luv U”, will have its 1st anniversary presentation while the kiddie gag show, “Goin’ Bulilit”, will have its 8th anniversary presentation. Both are creations of Edgar “Bobot” Mortiz who said he thought “Luv U” would run for just one season (13 weeks) but it’s now going on its 5th season. Several love teams are featured in the show: Miles Ocampo-Marco Gumabao, Angeli Gonzales-CJ Navato, but the wackiest tandem is that of Kiray Celis-Igiboy Flores.

Kiray is a natural comedian who’s a graduate of “Goin’ Bulilit”. Less than 5 ft. tall but certainly a dynamo of talent, she did a song and dance number with Igiboy and she really rocks. Is there any chance of her still growing a bit taller?

“Baka naman tumangkad pa ko kasi 17 lang ako, pero ako na nga pinakamatangkad sa family namin, compared to my mom, aunts and lola,” she says.

So is she really in love with Igiboy? “Naku, hindi po. Kahit pilitin ko sarili ko, ayaw talaga, e.”

Maybe because she prefers Piolo Pascual to be her father in law since she’s being linked to Piolo’s son, Inigo? How did they meet?

“Nag-meet kami sa ‘ASAP’ then nagyaya siyang manood ng movie sa Rockwell. Kasama ko magulang ko and siya, his friends. Then kumain kami sa labas. Tapos nagyaya siya mag-swimming sa condo. Siya lang nag-swimming, ako nagbabay na sa kanya. Yun lang yun. Hindi naman talaga date. Very seldom na nga communication namin ngayon.”

Doesn’t she like to try drama? “I do, pero sa comedy talaga ang linya ko. Idol ko si Elizabeth Ramsay. Grabe siya mag-perform. Ang galing.”

So what happens to them in “Luv U Year 2”? “Ga-graduate na kami sa high school, so we’ll have a prom, tapos graduation. Tapos magiging college na kami. Magkakaroon ako ng bagong ka-love team, Amerikano. Abangan n’yo. Surprise.”
