Robi Domingo eager to work with scriptwriter Ricky Lee someday

by Bong Godlinez

Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus runner-up Robi Domingo was not even born yet when award-winning scriptwriter Ricky Lee was toiling over the script of what would turn out to be the critically acclaimed film Himala (1982).

Himala—without overlooking his impressive filmography and other writing achievements—arguably is Ricky's masterpiece as a storyteller.

To beef up the special edition release of Ricky's anthology, Si Tatang at Mga Himala ng Ating Panahon, the highly-respected scriptwriter included the screenplay of Himala, complete with pictures never seen before and anecdotes by some of the major players in the making of the film.

Si Tatang at mga Himala ng Ating Panahon was first printed in 1988. Last May 31, the book was re-issued with updates and new materials at the Powerbooks in SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City.

ROBI, THE FAN. The book launching was well attended by personalities in the field of show business, arts, and literature.

To make the event more special, Ricky invited some of his celebrity friends to read excerpts from the book to give the public a taste of what to expect.

Young actor Robi Domingo, 19, was personally invited by Ricky to the occasion, together with veteran actors Ricky Davao, Ogie Alcasid, Chanda Romero, Vangie Labalan, Jean Garcia, and heartthrobs Dingdong Dantes and Angel Locsin.

A self-confessed fan of Ricky Lee, Robi told PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) during the event: "First of all, it's Ricky Lee, so bakit hindi ako sasama? Tapos I love reading books, especially 'yong mga books ni Ricky Lee. Kasi for the past events, kasama niya po ako sa book launching. So, suki na suki niya na ako."

Robi has never worked with Ricky in any project but he experienced the scriptwriter's brilliance first-hand in several workshops.

"Simply the best," he replied readily in describing Ricky as a mentor. "Simply the greatest scriptwriter of all time... Yung Himala niya, patunay 'yon."

Robi's showbiz career is still young and the prospect of working with Ricky in the future excites the MYX VJ and Gigger Boy no end.

"In the future, I'm really hoping to work with him," confessed Robi. "Kahit anong film 'yan, kahit anong event, kahit 'tong event na 'to ulit-ulitin hindi ako magsasawa."

Robi Domingo: 'Goodbye Kim Chiu, hello Sarah Geronimo'

by Rachel Siazon of ABS-CBN.com

Sarah Geronimo is halfway through her The Next One concert tour around the Philippines and it has been a huge success so far. Many people just couldn't help but admire her wholesome personality and undeniable talent once she takes center stage. More so for Robi Domingo, who shares that being one of her special guests in her out-of-town shows is definitely an exhilarating experience. 'She's really nice, very perky, and upbeat. Hindi ko alam kung nasa Zamboanga ba kami nun pero minention niya yung name ko during her concert. Sabi niya, 'Ang cute-cute naman ni Robi!' [after ata nung dance number ko]. 'Di ba parang, sabihin lang niya yung pangalan mo, tapos magbigay ng ganung klaseng comment, grabe talaga yung feeling,' he says in an interview with ABS-CBN.com.

Since the adorable Giggerboys member has already learned some great moves in the dance floor, he is looking forward to the day when they could finally perform a dance showdown together on ASAP or any other outside event. 'Sobrang enjoy ako dun sa concert niya. Just standing with Sarah onstage or kahit katabi ko lang siya, it's a great privilege already. How much more kung makasama ko pa siyang mag-perform on the dance floor. Iba yung impact na yun,' he reveals. Does this mean he prefers Sarah now over his longtime crush Kim Chiu? 'Ngayon since si Kim busy kay Gerald, Sarah na muna. Although Rayver Cruz, John Lloyd Cruz, at Mommy Divine ang mga kalaban natin diyan,' he jokingly adds.


Apparently, Robi is done courting a non-showbiz girl whom he has set his eyes on way before his stint on Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus. But if there's one girl who's being romantically linked to him these days, it's no other than his former Boystown co-star Jessie Mendiola. Apparently, they were once spotted in a restaurant near ABS-CBN looking like a sweet couple an occasion which the young heartthrob didn't deny. 'Hindi na ako magtatago. Pumunta kami sa Bannaple kasi sabi ko kay Jessie, 'Have you tried out Bannaple in Tomas Morato' Kasi sa Katipunan meron.' Papatikim ko sana yung the infamous Banoffee pie. [Nung pinaalam ko sa] mommy niya, okay naman daw. So pinatikim ko sa kanya yung pies nila dun,' he explains.

When prodded about the real score between them, Robi admits that Jessie is his number one celebrity crush at the moment and a romance between them is certainly possible. 'Naku, kino-corner ninyo ako ha! Maaari, since we're really really close. We're good friends, kami ni Jessie. Of course we see each other every ASAP. Look at that face (points at a picture of Jessie on the internet)' Sino hindi maiin-love diyan?' he stresses. 'She's very nice, she's got looks, wit, I am single and she's single, so why not?'

MYXPH.com: Fans expect a MYX VJ to be in touch with the music industry, news and new releases of hot artists. With your busy schedule, how do you cope?

Secret Talent: I can move my ears.

Pet Peeves: Kapag hindi ako pinapansin, na para akong invisible.

Favorite School Subject: Religion. Hindi siya iniisip eh. Isinasapuso siya.

First Day of School Memory: Grade school, medyo payat pa ako noon. High school, medyo mataba ako kaya inaasar nila ako na tabain daw ako. In college, I was the bald kid with the name. I was overwhelmed with everything after PBB. People kept staring at me. Pagpasok ko ng school lahat sila nakatitig at nakangiti.

Qualities you like in a girl: She has to have the looks, the talent, the passion, and the sweet caress. And of course, her being Pinay kaya dapat may X Factor.

Most Embarassing Moment: You can YouTube this and key in The Coconut Ride and you'll see my whole stunt there. Nag-swing ako, having fun. Hindi siya yung parang swing. Isang tali lang siya tapos nakatali sa tree. Biglang umikot ng umikot hanggang sa humampas ako sa trunk. Nahulog ako at kitang-kita sa cam. My dad took it. Tapos, pinakita ko sa class for a project. Nilagay ng mga classmates ko sa online.

Dream Date: On a rooftop. May dinner. May candles. Kung anong mangyayari doon, yun na yon!

Most Memorable PBB Experience: The BigNight. To be frank, nominated ako five consecutive times so, akala ko, pagdating namin sa Araneta, fourth runner-up na lang ako. I don't know. May magic na nangyari siguro kasi lagi akong nase-save. Akala ko first ako, pero second pala ako. Okay lang kasi dahil doon, andito na ko sa MYX.

Nastiest thing you did in school: I got into fistfight when I was in grade school bacause this guy kept teasing me and saying I had three chins. I was that fat back then. Sabi niya: 'Ang taba taba mo! Mukha kang Banaue (Rice Terraces). 'Ayun, hinamon ko siya ng sapakan. Thankfully, di naman ako na expel.

If you were a baon, what will you be and why?: I'll be your juice. I can replenish your thirst.

Contents of your school bag: Folder, pens, calculator, and my notebook.

Sweetest thing you've done for a girl: I've had two instances. First was with this girl whose school bus always passed by for her in Katipunan at 5:30 a.m. everyday. One time, since gusto ko siyang makita, I woke up at 3 a.m. to bake some brownies. Tapos, hinintay ko siya doon (to give her the brownies). The second one was in Ateneo, which had the Bukas Palad Choir. I invited some members of Bukas Palad to go to a girl's house to sing Harana and Seasons of Love.

You are afraid of: I am afraid of enclosed spaces. I am claustrophobic.

If you are not a VJ, you will be...: I think I'll be 'gigger'-ing with the Gigger Boys. Maybe acting and showing off my body through modelling. He he he. I'll still be a doctor. I'll be dancing, singing, and modelling doctor.
