Rhian Ramos ayaw makumpara kay KC

If it’s any indication that his health condition is doing incredibly well, isang masiglang Francis Magalona ang ating mapapanood via an alternative health drink commercial.

From the makers of a popular coffee brand, Kiko — as he’s fondly called in showbiz circle — tries to ‘‘outrap’’ his hiphop co-star in the TV ad and via his signature rhyme, rhythm and rhapsody.

Let’s face it, may pagkamaselan ang karamihan sa mga TV advertisers who employ famed celebrities as product endorsers, lalo pa’t hindi lingid sa publiko ang pagkakaroon ng leukemia ni Francis. Such finicky clients would not choose to be associated with talents kung ang mga ito’y makakaapekto sa kanilang produkto.

But having engaged the services of Francis, (ironically) endorsing a health drink at that, ay isang patunay lang na maganda at gumaganda ang kalagayan ng master rapper.

And if I may rap it: ‘‘Walang dapat ikabahala, kayong mga madla… si Francis na akala n’yo ay malala, sori kayo dahil siya’y masigla… kaya sa mga naninira, wala kayong mapapala… dahil ang master rapper, bukod na pinagpala!’’

Step aside, Sandra Bullock, ipamana mo na ang iyong Ms. Congeniality sash kay Rhian Ramos.

If we were to define the world ‘congenial,’ ito ang katangian ng isang tao who wants to befriend even the extra-terrestial creatures that invade the universe.

Despite repeated provocations by a broadsheet writer at her mini-presscon, ayaw patulan ni Rhian Ramos ang pagkukumpara sa kanila ni KC Concepcion. No doubt, napakaganda ng anak nina Sharon Cuneta at Gabby Concepcion, putting her side by side Rhian ay nakauungos daw ang huli. Pero teka, there’s British blood in Rhian’s veins, bukod pa sa mas bata ito (she’s only turning 18 on October 3) kesa kay KC.

But take it from the lead star of La Lola, GMA 7’s upcoming teleserye, may kakaiba siyang pananaw pagdating sa kagandahan. “I would say that my older sister is more beautiful than me kasi she looks like Iza Calzado,” sey ng debutante-to-be.

And as if to live up to her Ms. Congeniality title, ayaw na ring patulan ni Rhian ang mga hate e-mails sa kanya that find their way even to her cellphone. “Ine-erase ko ’yon kaagad. Halata naman kasi na taga-showbiz din ’yon. Dapat ko ba silang patulan?” was Rhian’s solicited advice.
