WISH NI Richard Gutierrez na makipagbati na ang kanyang girlfriend na si Sarah Lahbati kay Annete Abrogar “I’m willing to mediate and be a peacemaker para maayos ang lahat,” he says. “Gusto ko sana, magkaroon sila ng chance na magkausap ng maayos. Di ba it’s so much better kung maaayos na ang lahat?
Sa dami ng calamities na nangyayari sa bansa natin ngayon, na may rebellion in Zamboanga, lindol, super typhoon at pork barrel controversy, mas maganda kung lahat tayo, magtulungtulong to just be in peace with each other. I know it won’t be easy kasi nagkaroon ng harsh exchange of words na nakasakit sa mga damdamin, but hopefully, soon, maaayos na.”
A n o na ang katotohanan sa tsismis na secretly married na sila ni Sarah at meron na silang anak?
“Natatawa kami kasi lagi kaming pinapangunahan. ‘Di ba mas maganda kung it will come from us? All of a sudden, biglang naging malaking issue at may baby na raw kami. As for being married, big decision for me ’yan and I won’t do it in a rush. Right now, focused lang kami sa whatever we have.
Abangan n’yo na lang sa reality show ng family namin dahil marami kaming revelations doon.” So will he really transfer to another network? “I’m doing a new movie with GMA Films. Bago ang leading lady at director ko, to be announced later. As for going to a new network, bayaan na lang ang rumors na lumalabas.
Let’s just keep the people guessing. As of now, nakatutok ako sa reality show naming ‘It Takes Gutz to Be a Gutierrez’. Matagal nang may offer sa’min to do a show like this, but I think now is the right time.
It’s actually the first time na we can do this. Kasi for the past years, connected kami sa ibaibang network, ‘di ba?
Eh, ngayon, sabay-sabay nag-expire ang contracts namin so we’re all free lancers, so I think this is the perfect project for us. It’s an experiment and we want to see the outcome. Kami rin, hindi namin alam kung ano ang kalalabasan.
So we’re excited and at the same time, nervous, anxious, all mixed feelings. But at the end of the day, I think it’s the family experience that we all want to go through. We’ll clear up the misconceptions about our family.
Ipapakita namin kung sino kami. What we are made of. It’s also challenging and breaking barriers for me kasi very private ako, but now I’ll open myself up to the public for the first time.”
We tell Richard that he obviously gained a lot of weight while on vacation and he should get rid of that before shooting his new movie. “I’m aware of that and I’m doing something about it. Don’t worry, I’m on my way.”
