WALANG-takot na hinarap ng singer na si Rachelle Ann Go ang mga tsismis na nagli-link sa kanya at sa actor na si Cesar Montano.
“It was a big joke,” aniya. “I didn’t know whether to laugh or get upset when I first heard it.”
Nag-sorry na rin sa kanya si Cesar para sa walang kuwentang intriga. “Pasensiya na raw ako,” kuwento ni Rachelle.
Lalong uminit ang tsismis nang magparinig sa kanyang Twitter page ang asawa ni Cesar na si Sunshine Cruz tungkol sa mga babae na mahilig ma-involve sa mga lalaking may-asawa.
“I don’t need to comment on that because that’s between her and her husband,” sey ni Rachelle. “My conscience is clear.”
Giit niya, zero pa rin ang kanyang love life simula nang mag-break sila ng actor na si John Prats. “We last saw each other at the wake of his sister Camille’s husband,” aniya pa. “We just said hi-hello. We’re okay.”
Nag-grow up si Rachelle sa ilang buwan na lumipas. Sa kanyang bagong CD na “Unbreakable,” isinulat niya ang kantang “Whispered Fear.” Paliwanag ni Rachelle: “It talks about fears of being alone, then realizing that you have nothing to be afraid of … that you can be happy on your own.”
Dagdag niya, matagal na siyang naka-move on sa nangyari sa kanila ni John. “I’m focusing on my work,” sabi ni Rachelle, lalo pa ngayon na siya ang gaganap na Ariel sa musical na “The Little Mermaid” ng Atlantis Production na nagsimula kahapon hanggang December 11.
“I relate with Ariel. I’m also a dreamer,” ani Rachelle.
Matagal na niyang gustong sumubok ng musical theater. “My co-stars in ‘Party Pilipinas,’ Gian Magdangal and Mark Bautista, have been encouraging me to try. They said it’ll help me grow as a performer.”
Inilarawan naman bilang “consummate pro” si Rachelle ng kanyang co-star at theater vet na si Jinky Llamanzares.
Kuwento pa ng isang production staffer na dumating sa isang rehearsal si Rachelle na nilalagnat.
“I didn’t want to miss a single day,” hirit niya. “We can’t afford to get sick. Since we have no alternates, we will be doing all 24 shows. I’ve been taking lots of vitamins.”
Mayroon siyang kissing scene sa nasabing production. “It’s kinda awkward because Erik Santos is my best buddy… but it also helps that we’re at ease with each other.”
Maliban sa kanyang bagong trabaho, aliw din si Rachelle bilang mentor sa GMA 7 show na “Protégé.”
“As mentor, I’m more like a big sister,” sabi niya. “I also have younger siblings who are into music. I believe in my protégé Nomer Limatog Jr. I choose tough songs for him, like ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’ because he’s so talented.” — Inquirer
