Andrea Torres Celebrates Birthday With Kids Of Down Syndrome Association To Share Her Blessings

ANDREA TORRES celebrated her 26th birthday last month and she chose to celebrate it with an outreach program with the children of the Down Syndrome Association of the Philippines last May 24. “Sa dami ng blessings ko sa buhay at career ko ngayon, I felt I should share it naman and I’m happy we chose yung mga batang may Down Syndrome dahil napasaya ko sila. May kapatid din kasi akong special child so it’s very meaningful for me,” she says.

Her co-star in “The Millionaire’s Wife”, Jaclyn Jose won an international award recently and Andrea says she was teary eyed when she watched the footage of Jaclyn winning as best actress at the recent Cannes Filmfest. “Siempre, tuwang-tuwa ako for her kasi she brought honor to our country as the first Southeast Asian actress to win such a prestigious award. Kitang-kita rin na sobrang surprised siya na siya ang nanalo so she became emotional. E, naging close na rin kami while working together in ‘The Millionaire’s Wife’, so siempre, happy talaga ako for her accomplishment. Nang mag-taping na siya uli sa set namin, we all welcomed her at tuwang-tuwa siya sa pagpapahalaga naming lahat sa kanya.”

But of course, on cam, Jaclyn as Stella remains very mean and abusive to her. “‘Millionaire’s Wife’ has taken a very surprising turn lately kasi namatay na si Tito Robert Arevalo as my husband. Galit na galit sa’kin si Tita Jaclyn na only child niya and her kids, Ina Raymundo as Alison and Sid Lucero as Jared, kasi after the funeral, the lawyer said ako lang ang designated na tanging tagapagmana ng lahat ng kayamanan ni Tito Robert. Sila, walang matatanggap na anuman. Bigla akong susugurin ni Tita Jaclyn na may kasamang mga pulis at ipapaaresto ako. Akong pinagbibintangang pumatay kay Tito Robert as Alfredo. They will do everything para hindi mapasaakin ang yamang iniwan ni Alfredo. Tutulungan naman ako nina Mike Tan as Ivan and James Blanco as Mark sa magiging sitwasyon ko.”
