JUST PASSING BY: At a dinner with superlative drama actress Sylvia Sanchez, the star of “The Greatest Love” series, waited long and hard for her order.
When the plate of sizzling hot calamares finally landed, she told the waiter sweetly,’’ I didn’t order this. I asked for salpicao.’’
The waiter stood his ground. “No, Ma’am, you ordered calamares.’’
The issue was finally settled when I interrupted. I told Sylvia that I heard her order calamares and not salpicao.
Was Sylvia just being in character as Mommy Gloria, the Alzheimers-stricken mother of five in the top-rating ABS-CBN daily series?
