sb: Male Margie, Erap of Pasay
Balita News
MALE MARGIE -- Where sexology is concerned, no one beats
Dr. Margie Gosingco Holmes, whose wise and practical advice
on sexual problems is read by millions via her columns and
books. And TV appearances every now and then. Guess who's
following in the footsteps of thoroughly modern and liberated
Margie. Leo Martinez via his current starrer, Falcon's "Dr. X
on-the-air," where he plays a popular counselor on problems
below the belt via a radio program on stations ACDC.
"Dr. X" should strengten Leo's billing as the King of Sex
Comedy, backed up by sexpots (TF stars, if you wish) Daisy
Reyes, Criselda Volks, Alicia Lane, Veronica Veron, Ina Alegre,
Cindy Moreno, and Chrislyn Fuller. "Dr. X" is directed by Felix
Dalay, who megged such Leo sexy starrers as "Batangueno
Kabitenyo" and "Naughty Professor."
Is "Dr. X." as knowledgable and scientific as Dr. Holmes?
Maybe not. But Leo will surely be naughtier and funnier.
Move over Xerex, Oskee Salazar, Justo C. Justo, whose idol in
style of writing must have been the great Estrella Alfon,
whose "Heart-to-Heart" column in the pre-Martial Law "Sun"
was widely followed.

'ERAP' OF PASAY CITY -- Justo C. Justo, more popularly
known as Jayjay, the entertainment-writer-turned politico, is
said to be the "Erap" of Pasay City. Like the popular
presidential candidate Joseph Estrada, Jayjay is topping all
surveys, conducted in Pasay to see who is the most popular
candidate for councilor.
Jayjay is seeking his third and last term as member of the city
council under the opposition LAMMP. Jayjay knew Erap from
way back, in the '60s and early '70s, when he was the top
movie columnist, "Etchos Lang" of "Sun," which was also the
title of the TV show he hosted on Channel 11.
IF he has one regret about the May 11 elections, it's the
reality that he and Manay Gina (wife of Speaker Joe de
Venecia) are in opposite camps. Too bad that he is with
LAMMP and Manong Joe is the official presidential bet of the
administration party, LAKAS. Jayjay acknowledges the help
Manay Gina and Manong Joe have extended to his many
charitable projects in Pasay City.
Now, why is Jayjay topping the surveys?
Charge it to his appeal to the "masa," who Jayjay helps every
day of the year, even when he isn't running. He is the only
Pasay councilor who feeds the street children on a regular
basis and helps sick constituents with their medical and
dental needs. These El Nino days, Jayjay even had the
foresight to provided the depressed areas with free water.
Jayjay is a good family man, now a grandfather, would you
believe?
