HAS AGA FOUND HIS TRUE LOVE?

Manila, July 31, 1998 - Aga Muhlach's own manager, Ethel Ramos, has shot down all speculation about any reconciliation between her ward and former Miss Universe, now international recording star Dayanara Torres.

Writing in her column for Malaya, Ethel says there is a new beauty queen in Aga's life: Melissa Torres Fernandez, chosen one of Manila's Five Loveliest for the years 1993-1994, and currently finishing her Masters at the Ateneo University. Students and faculty members of the Jesuit school are by now familiar with Aga, who has become a familiar figure on campus where he regularly picks up Melissa after her classes.

Melissa's "coming out" as Aga's new girl was at the birthday party of Agot Isidro, where Aga proudly showed her off to his "Okidokidok" TV sitcom co-stars.

Aga was in another campus for his own graduation a few days ago. Ethel describes him as "in high spirits" when during graduation rites of the Basic Course on Entrepreneurship at the University of the Philippines, a class he organized and attended along with 11 others.

Aga's classmates, and fellow graduates, included Mother Lily's son Dondon Monteverde, presidential son Jude Ejercito (vice president of Greenline Enrvirotech), Balita editor Dindo Balares, actor Richard Bonnin and Aga's own brother Albert.

His groups' thesis on dairy products was adjudged the best of the lot by their professors.

Aga is preparing himself for a career/enterprise outside the movies.
