BETTINA CARLOS
Bettina Carlos was grilled about her relationship with Raymart Santiago at the launch of Indomie, a new brand of instant noodles made by Indofood, the larg-
est noodle factory in Indo- nesia. Indomie was launched in 1972 and is already a top seller in so many countries, but it’s only now that it’s being introduced in our country by Roshan Mirani of Mirage Manufacturing. They chose Bettina and her
daughter Gammy as their endorser, along with Dino Guevarra and his son Joaquin.
Bettina was asked what the real score between her and Raymart Santiago is. “No, we’re not in a re- lationship,” she says. “Hindi ko alam kung bakit kami nali-link. Nagkasama kami sa ‘Villa Quintana’ and we became friends. Pero never naging kami.”
It’s said that their photos were posted in social media and she was even with her daughter at the home of Raymart, so some wags quickly concluded that they’re already living in.
He invited us for dinner. Hindi lang ako kundi pati mga kasama namin sa show, pati production staff.
He cooks and I also cook kasi I took up culinary arts. Potluck dinner ‘yun so nagluto ako, nagluto rin siya. Pero hindi ako nakatira roon. Dala-dalawa ang bahay ko, bakit ako titira roon?”
Right now, she’s also busy with two shows. “I’m co- hosting ‘Idol sa Kusina’ with Chef Boy Logro and I’m the provincial host of what will be the biggest talent show in the country, ‘Bet ng Bayan’, hosted by Regine Velasquez and Alden Richards. I do the hosting sa Mindanao and Visayas.”
Why was Bettina chosen as endorser of Indomie? “We want someone active in social media and Bettina is very active in her accounts,” says Mr. Mirani. “We also want a mom and someone who’s very articulate. Bettina fits all that, so we got her and her daugh-
ter after we learned that they really like our instant noodles.”
“Masarap kasi talaga ang mi goreng stir fry noo- dles nila that come in various flavours like barbecue chicken, rending, pedas and satay,” says Bettina.
“Pinoys working abroad are with Indomie kasi im-
ito and I’m glad it’s now
able locally.”

Dino Guevarra To Bounce Back
The other endorser of Indomie is Dino Guevarra, a contemporary of Ding- dong Dantes during their “TGIS” days. What can he say now that Ding- dong is about to wed Marian Rivera? “It’s about time,” he says. “34 na siya. I’m only one year older than him. I wish them all the best.”
At 35, Dino already has two teenage sons, Ethan, 16, and Miguel, 15. This means he was already a father at 19 when he was paired by with Kim
de los Santos, who eventually became his wife. The mother of his sons are Monica de Leon, now working as editor of In Flight Magazine for Air
Asia. He and Kim have long separated and Dino is now with Karen Ga- briel, with whom he has two kids, Joaquin, 9, and Annika, 5. At the launch of Indomie, both Monica and Karen were present and they all get along fine.
How come Dino’s career didn’t flourish? “After Kim and I separated, puro bad publicity ang lumabas sa akin at naapektuhan talaga ang career ko. Dati, I had five shows. Isa-isang nawala. Tapos, tinatawaran na ang talent fee ko na para akong isda. Nadismaya ako so I just went into the buy and sell of cars. But now, I’m all set to make a comeback. Nag-guest ako sa show ni Jean Garcia na ‘Love Hotline’ at may mga kumukuha sa’kin, but I want to get a good manager muna.”
