AMY-RAYMOND ROMANCE DENIED

Manila, Dec. 15, 1997 - Friends of Amy Austria are happy for the actress, who has been seen dining out and going to the movies with actor Raymond Bagatsing lately, although neither one would confirm that their relationship is getting serious.

Earl Blue of Tempo writes that the two were last seen together at the press preview of "Anak ng Bulkan" and "Babae" of Premiere Productions at the Louie THX Cinema in Makati, his arm over her shoulder in a sweet universal scene of two sweethearts on a movie date.

"Actions speak louder than words," Earl writes, as friends of Amy wish her well, now that she may have found a replacement for her dearly departed Jay Ilagan.
