Any names they havein mind for the baby?“Alejandro Miguel for aboy—my second nameand Patty’s lolo’s name isMiguel. Adriana Do-minique for a girl, fromPatty’s second nameMonique.”

Will they allow theirbaby to join show biz?“He/she has to finishschool first.”

What are the adjust-ments they are goingthrough as newlyweds?“We don’t go out and Ican’t drink that muchanymore. We often stayhome, order pizza andwatch DVDs. We letour maid go, so wewill learn to man-age by ourselves. Icook, Patty washesthe dishes. I do the laundry, shecleans the house. I clean up ourdog, Spartan. But … happy na-man kami.”

Being the son of Bong Revilla

By Dolly Anne Carvajal

A GA Muhlach and Janice de Belen’s love child, Igi-boy Muhlach, will soon be a dad. He married hislongtime girlfriend Patricia Petil in civil rites last

Oct 24. What was his parents’ initial reaction? “Natawalang sila,” says Igi “Ginawa ko daw silang lolo at lola atan early age.”

Simply Sam MilbyBy Bayani San Diego Jr.

IT’S hard to believe, but actor-singer Sam Milby describeshimself as a “simple” dresser:

“I’m into plain, no-frills stuff.Most of the things in my closetare either black or white.”

He built a spacious walk-incloset on the second floor of hishome, adjacent to his spiffy

bathroom.Like the toiletries in the

washroom, the clothes in thecloset are neatly arranged—jackets and long-sleeved tops inone section; shirts, caps andjeans in another.

Although he’s an avowedBench man, he shops for import-ed brands prior to concert toursabroad.

and grandson of Ramon Revillaare Jolo Revilla’s best creden-tials. But he’s coming into hisown. “I hope to achieve whatthey both have achieved,” hesays. “But they are tough acts tofollow. I’d like to be known onmy own merits.”

Jolo top-bills Pepeng Agimat(6:45 p.m., Saturdayson ABS-CBN 2), origi-nally portrayed by hislolo.

Do the Revillas real-ly have an agimat whenit comes to women?“Friendly lang kami sagirls,” Jolo says. “Di na-man kami babaero. I’lltry my best na ’wag du-mami ang anak ko.” I’llbreak the Revilla tradi-tion [in that way]. Helaughs, “Tama na siGabs, who’s now 4years old. He stays withme, but Grace can visitor take him to herplace any time.”

How are things be-tween him and Grace’s

mom, Rosanna Roces, who hassaid quite a mouthful about theRevillas? “Okay naman kami.Nag-usap na rin kami ni Gracena pag tungkol sa anak namin,kaming dalawa na lang ang mag-uusap, para di magulo. Whatabout Lovi Poe? “Split na talagakami.”

Jolo requested me not to re-veal the reason for their breakup.However, I wrote an item aboutLovi in a previous column whichmight give a clue.

Is his new leading lady, Melis-sa Ricks, next in line to occupyhis heart? “Maybe,” he says witha wink. “Masarap siya kumagatsa eksena namin (laughs).”

Surely, he’s got that irresistibleRevilla charm, this Jolo good fel-low!

Giveaway triviaMy son IC Mendoza has a

guest appearance as BabaengLinta’s sidekick in Darna. He toldme that Marian Rivera’s foldingchair has a Darna design withmatching wings at the back. Heasked her where she bought theunique chair; Marian told himthat it’s a gift from DingdongDantes. Isn’t that confirmationenough that Dong and Marianare flying high on the wings oflove?

Was there positive reactionfrom fans when you admittedbeing gay?

I was a little nervous comingout. But I had to do it becausethere was so much speculation. Ididn’t want to go through the restof my career with people con-stantly trying to figure out whatI’m about and getting into my per-sonal life, so I just figured I’dcrack it wide open.

Despite your admission inthat Rolling Stone article, wom-en are still attracted to you.

Maybe it feels safe for them.Maybe they feel like, “Okay, well, Ican fantasize about this guy but Idon’t have to worry about my hus-band being mad about it.” Maybethere’s a safety there because I’mnot available for that sex.

Who were your musical idolswhen you were younger?

Definitely, Freddie Mercury...Idiscovered the music of the ’70s alittle later though. I grew up withMichael Jackson, Madonna, thebig pop stars of the ’80s and ’90s.Later, in my 20s, I got into thewhole Summer of Love era, thatwhole movement in San Francis-co. I got into Jimi (Hendrix), Janis(Joplin) and the Beatles, and thenLed Zeppelin and Queen. I lovedT. Rex and Sweet, Gary Glitter andBowie. Ruben V. Nepales

Maging si Meneses na naglaro para saBombers mula 1986 hanggang 1989 aynabigong bigyan ng korona ang koponan.

Pero ang manlalaro na kinilala bilang“Aerial Voyager” noong naglalaro pa saPBA ay umaasa na magagawa na niya anghindi niya nagawa noon dahil siya na angmay dala sa pangkat.

“I don’t feel any pressure,” ani Menesesna naging PBA MVP noong 1995. “Ofcourse, I want to bring a championship, butmy target is to reach the Final Four first.”
