Yul Servo As Manila Councilor Defends The City Called By Dan Brown The Gates Of Hell

YUL SERVO is the highest pointer among Manila councilors in District 3 during the last election. But he’s not forsaking his acting career. He’s currently a mainstay in GMA-7’s “Anna Karenina” as Maureen Larrazabal’s good-for-nothing boyfriend.

What can he say about his role? “Okay naman. Masarap kaeksena si Maureen Larrazabal. Magaling, e. Kami ang magpapalaki rito kay Barbie Forteza.”

So he’s now a Kapuso? “Free lancer naman ako. I can work with any network. Ang dami ko ng nagawang ‘Maalaala Mo Kaya’ episodes sa ABS. Sa TV5, ginawa ko yung “Bangis”. Dito sa GMA, I appeared before in ‘Trudis Liit’ and ‘Magpakailanman’ sa Ryzza Mae Dizon Story. Movies, gumagawa pa rin ako. Last year, I did ‘El Presidente’. Ngayon naman, ginagawa ko yung Cinemalaya entry ni Direk Adolf Alix, ‘Porno’. May actual penetration daw rito, pero hindi naman ako ang gagawa.”

As a Manila official, what can he say about Dan Brown’s novel, “Inferno”, that called Manila the Gates of Hell? “Hindi naman siguro totoo, kasi Catholic country tayo at ang daming magaganda’t matatandang churches in Manila, di ba? Paano magiging Gates of Hell ito? Kung meron mang mga pangit na bagay o lugar, we have a new mayor, so may changes nang magaganap at sana maayos na yan.”
