German Moreno realizes ‘Walk of Fame’ dream

It’s been German Moreno’s ardent and longtime dream to have a “Walk of Fame” (similar to that in Hollywood, California) installed in Quezon City, which has also been christened as “City of Stars.”

This was finally realized with the launch of the “Walk of Fame” last Sunday.

Located along Edsa and Timog Avenue surrounding the GMA Network Center, the “Walk of Fame” serves as another milestone in the history of the local entertainment industry.

Kuya Germs is thankful to GMA Network Chairman and CEO Atty. Felipe L. Gozon for helping make the launch possible.

“I am proud to finally have this ‘Walk of Fame’ dahil dito lang natin mapapadama sa mga artista ’yung importansya at kontribusyong nagawa nila para sa Network. I feel complete na lahat ay nag-cooperate para sa event na ito dahil hindi magiging successful ang project na ito kung walang pagtutulungan,” said Kuya Germs.

Stage Director Also A Top-Notch Educator
ANTON BROAS
DR. ROGER POLO TONG-AN
Anton Broas is a man of many achievements.

He was the overall stage director of the first Miss Beauche International finals held last December at Solaire Resorts and Casino.

Anton was in talk recently with the entertainment press to direct one of its two special events for the Golden Screen awards.

More, Anton owns several branches/ kiosks of Beauche International.

Beauche International has over a hundred branches nationwide. It recently opened its first branch in Madrid, Spain.

A registered nurse, it’s not surprising that Anton would team up with Dr. Roger Polo Tong-An, the founder and president of St. Louis Review Center (SLRC). Dr. Tong-An is also the current and newly elected president of the Philippine Nurses Association.

Anton owns five of the 28 SLRC branches, mostly in Luzon. He plans to add more.

Last week, SLRC had cause to celebrate as 11 of the Top 10 topnotchers (with multiple ties) for Licensure Examination for Teachers held last Jan. 26 were review students from SLRC.

Heading the list are Eduard A. Pagtulon-An of Central Mindanao University and Daisy B. Reyes of Xavier University who tied for the No. 1 slot. Occupying Top 2 is Zarina I. Villadolid from the University of the Philippines Diliman.

Top 4 is Shaunell Mary Y. Josol of Bukidnon State College Malaybalay; Top 6 is Joanne D. Dacera of University of the Philippines Diliman; Top 7 is also a tie with Abygail Mae P. Dalipe and Julaila B. Ogwon both from University of Mindanao Davao City; Top 8 is Romel T. Gumobao also from the University of Mindanao Davao City. Top 9 is a three-way tie for Katrina Quelyn U. Lamboson of the University of Saint La Salle, Albert P. Bayawa II of Saint Louis University and Zaidi P. Ong of the University of the Philippines Mindanao.
