On November 14, actor Mark Anthony Fernandez recounted how Lorna Tolentino gave him two thousand pesos when she saw him walking alongside EDSA.
At the media conference for Pamasahe, which LionhearTV covered, Fernandez revisited his past when he didn’t have his car and had to walk from Annapolis to White Plains.
“Naalala ko lang, si Lorna Tolentino, step mother ko, hiningan ko ng two-thousand pesos. Ewan ko kung anong nangyari sa BMW ko noong time na ‘yun. Naglalakad ako sa EDSA, for three days na, just to get where I’m going, from Annapolis to White Plains lang naman, pero nilalakad ko ‘yun.”
He then noted how Tolentino helped him out by lending him two thousand pesos.
“Dumaan nga ‘yung Tita ko, kasi nga taga-White Plains siya, ako taga Annapolis, tapos sabi niya, ‘Oh bakit naglalakad ka?’ Tapos sabi ko, ‘Ganito, ganon.’ Binigyan niya ako ng two thousand pesos.”
He then hinted at future projects that had similar themes to his experience.
“Di lang pang-MMK, ano siya, di lang pang-MMK, pang-Magpakailan din. Ah Jean panoorin mo na lang, coming soon.”
According to Google Maps, traveling from White Plains, Quezon City to Annapolis, San Juan, by foot would take about an hour and three minutes with a five-kilometer walk.
As for his latest project, Fernandez stars in the Vivamax film Pamasahe.Â
Featuring Azi Acosta in her first lead role, the erotic drama includes a Viva cast of Felix Roco, Rash Flores, Chad Solano, Aj Oteyza, Shiena Yu, Julio Diaz, and Erlinda Villalobos.Â
Under the direction of Direk Roman Perez Jr., Pamasahe premieres on December 5 via Vivamax Plus and streams on December 9 via Vivamax.
