PRAYERS FOR BOYET: We join colleagues in the industry in praying for the speedy recovery of Christopher, who is a good friend to many.
The veteran actor hasn’t ceased entertaining us, the public, with his dramatic prowess. He’s seen daily on ABS-CBN afternoon series, “Love Thy Woman,” opposite Kim Chiu.
Boyet has been acting since 1974 when he debuted as the young lead of “Tinimbang Ka, Ngunit Kulang.” The landmark film by Lino Brocka fetched him his first FAMAS best actor award.
Since then, he hasn’t ceased sharing with the public his gifts as an actor.

TRAVEL HISTORY: On his Instagram page, De Leon said he had no recent travel history abroad and had no contact with known coronavirus patients.
The 63-year old said his family and house help are now under home quarantine. He advised his colleagues, especially those who interacted with him in recent weeks, to do the same.
He cited the nature of his work in show business, where he interacts regularly with many people, as the reason why he got infected. He urged people to observe stringent self-quarantine, watch out for symptoms and have themselves checked.
