ticularly the youth, to treat thestreets leading to Antipolo withdue respect and shun littering thathas literally turned past Alay-Lakad into Alay-Kalat, creatingmounds of trash along the way,”ani Tin Vergara, zero waste cam-paigner ng Ecowaste.

“We fear that litterbugs willagain rear their ugly heads and de-file the sacrificial walk that hordesof people do in memory of Christthe Redeemer to affirm their faith,seek atonement and ask forgivenessfor past wrongs,” dinagdag niya.

“Even the hallowed ground ofthe Antipolo Cathedral is notspared as improvised sleeping ma-

terials such as newspapers are leftscattered by some devotees,”tinukoy niya.

“We also often see pilgrimspuffing on cigarettes as they per-form their act of penance and thenthrowing the butts anywhere, un-mindful of the hazards of tobaccosmoke and the toxins in the buttwaste,” dinagdag ni Vergara.

“We hope that smokers will re-frain from smoking during theAlay-Lakad for their own healthand the health of people aroundthem. Please give up smokingeven only for a day,” aniya.

Pinayo pa niya: “Of course, thebetter choice would be to quitsmoking altogether.”

Babala: Musical namanang ibibirit ni Anne Curtis

Sa susunod na buwan, tiyakna lalanding na naman sa ulong mga balita ang actressat TVhost sa ikalawa niyang solo con-cert na gaganapin sa Big Dome,The Forbidden Concert Round 2:AnneKapal. At sa pagkakataongito, nangako siya na “all-out” natalaga.

Ibig sabihin ng 29-taong-gu-lang, ibibigay na niya ang todosa lahat ng production numbersna may kasama pang mgapaggamit ng harnesses, at bibir-it siya ng mga awiting operaticat mula sa musical theater. “Ilike classical music and watch-ing theater productions such as

The Phantom of the Opera,Wicked and My Fair Lady,” shetold the Inquirer at a press con.

At bakit nga naman hindi?“Sometimes I sing numbers

from those musicals out loud,and people around me say thesongs suit my voice. So I said,‘why don't I?’" sabi ni Anne ha-bang tumatawa.

Nang tanungin kung ano angmagiging highlight ng kanyangpalabas, balik agad ni Anne:“Definitely not my voice!” Hilignaman niyang kumanta noonpa man, ngunit alam niya nawalang hilig ang kanta sakanya, sabi niya.

“People obviouslydon't go to my show formy singing; they go forthe whole production-the stunts, costumesand all the pasabog,pahirapan ngbuhay!” sabi niAnne said, at samga konsiyertolang daw siyanabibigyan ngpagkakataon naipakita ang totoongsarili niya, “fun andmakulit.”

Habol pa niya,“But I've improved-alittle! I can promisethat I won't be as out-of-tune as I was thefirst time.”

At ipinagmalaki niAnne na na kumukuhasiya ng voice lessons, lalona't lahat ng kanyang mgalalabas na panauhin ay aniya,mga “legit singers, pillars of theindustry!” Isa sa kanila, kuwen-to ni Anne, ay tinanong pa siyakung ano ang gusto niyang kan-tahin. “To which I replied, ‘Any-thing you want; I will adjust!’It's such an honor to have thisperson in my show.”

Naisip tuloy ng mga showbiz writers na ito ay walang ibakundi si Lea Salonga, na siyang

kumanta sa theme song sakasalukuyang ipinapalabas nafantaserye ni Anne, ang Dye-sebel. Mabilis naman itong iti-nanggi ni Anne, “It’s not Ms.Lea. It's going to be a surprise.”

Magkakaroon kaya ngpagkakataon makita ng publikosa entablado ang boyfriendniyang si Erwan Heussaff?“Pinipilit ko siya pero ayaw,”

sabi ni Anne. “He told me,‘What is ours is ours.’ We'reopen to the public, but we'renot overly show biz. We want tokeep it that way.”

Producer si Anne ng concertkasama ang Viva. Inamin niyana mayroon talagang pressuresiyang nararamdaman na maga-nda ang kalabasan ng show .Ang una niyang concert, angAnnebisyosa: No Other Concert,ay sold out, at nilibot pa ngbuong mundo.

“There’s a first time for ev-erything. I'm at this age… Iwant to start doing differentthings; I also want to learnsomething business-related,”sabi ni Anne. “Luckily, Viva issupportive and willing to teachme. They encourage me tospread my wings.”

Bukod sa concert, si Annedin ang mag-isang producer ngkanyang ikalawang studio al-bum, The Forbidden Album. Lal-abas sa bagong record ang mgaorihinal na awitin na likha ninaMarcus Davis, Billy Crawford,Kris Lawrence, Jay-R at Chris-tian Bautista.

“My first single will be calledMade in the Philippines,” pa-hayag niya.

Pinaghahandaan na ni Anneang hindi maiiwasang pag-ulanng mga puna mula sa mgamahilig mag-komento at nani-walang ang mga hindi mang-aawit ay hindi dapat gu-mawa ng mga shows orecording albums. “I’vegone through the worst in

terms of criticisms. I don’tlet them [go to my head],”

sabi niya. “You can’t pleaseeveryone.”

Pagdidiin pa niya: “I don’twant people to take me serious-ly. I just want them to have agreat time and come out laugh-ing.”

Produced ng Viva Live at An-nebisyosa Productions, ang TheForbidden Concert Round 2: An-neKapal ay nakatakdang ipal-abas sa May 16 sa Smart Arane-ta Coliseum.
