HOT BABE IN FIERY LOVE SCENES WITH GIRL, GUY PARTNER

MANILA, March 6, 2006 (MALAYA) by  ETHEL  RAMOS ('She did not just go nude in the film. She also has a torrid kissing and nude scenes with fellow Viva Hot Babe Avi Siwa and with her leading man Ryan Eigenman.’)

BOLD starlet Jennifer Lee said she will not let her Chinese boyfriend watch her new digital film, “Coed Scandal.” “Baka ma-iskandalo kasi siya,” she laughs. “There’s just too much sex in the movie. And most scenes involve me.”

She did not just go nude in the film. She also has torrid kissing and nude scenes with fellow Viva Hot Babe Avi Siwa and with her leading man Ryan Eigenman.

"I just cannot tell my boyfriend that it’s just a movie. Hindi siya taga- showbiz," she says.

"Coed Scandal" revolves around her, her boyfriend, Leo (Ryan) and another girl, Miles (Avi Siwa). Leo proposes that the two of them do a dirty movie. At first, she is reluctant. But when she learns that Miles is willing to replace her, she obliges.

New director Robert Quebral directed the movie based on his own script which he-co wrote with Benedict Mique.

Jennifer’s father is a Korean while her mom is a Filipino. She grew up in Korea. When her parents separated, her mom decided to bring her and her siblings back here. Funny that his dad is also in the country.

Does she think her parents will eventually reconcile?

"I doubt it. Matagal na nilang tinanggap na dalawa na hiwalay sila. At masaya sila," she replies.

Do you know that it was while watching a movie in a theater in Iloilo that former "Pinoy Big Brother" celebrity housemate Rudy Fernandez lost his right leg?

"Binomba kasi ang sinehan," he recalls. "I was told that there were about 18 of us who suffered the same fate."

He was only 23 then and was already married. He had a job in his alma mater, the Western Institute of Technology. He was with the Physical Education department.

"One thing with me, losing a leg never discouraged me from, ika nga, moving on. Lalo’t while I was watching a show on Discovery Channel that features disabled people who have transformed their life and disability into life-changing events. This happened while I was recuperating in the hospital," he relates.

He was also determined to have his three sons finished school. Rudy narrates that among eight siblings, he is the only one who finished school with a college diploma. The rest have continued living in a town in Iloilo where he grew up.

He says, "From time to time, I would bring my children, na ang babata pa noon, to my town. Fishing was one means of livelihood for my brothers there.

Napapansin ng mga anak ko na umagang umaga kung umalis ng bahay ang aking kapatid, para nga mangisda. Di naman siya madalas sinusuwerte na makahuli ng maraming isda."

Rudy, thus, encouraged his children to study harder and become professionals, which they are all now. His eldest is 27 years old and a licensed mechanical engineer. He is the only one married among his boys.

His 25-year-old son is a civil engineer while his youngest, a 23-year-old, is a computer programmer.

Rudy has always been an athlete as far as he could remember. He made it to the RP Team for running from 1972 to 1976. He was a National Track champ in 1974. When he lost his leg, he strived to be a tri-athlete who competed in running, swimming and cycling.

In 1996, he attracted national attention by swimming from Guimaras to Iloilo to beat the record of Terry Fox, who swam across the English Channel. A hospital in California, USA gave him a hydraulic mechanical leg to replace the wooden leg that he has been wearing since the ‘80s.

That same year, he ran for Standard Chartered Bank in a Hongkong Marathon and was hailed Asian Hero by Readers’ Digest. He has since been representing Standard Chartered for various triathlon events in Asia, becoming the poster boy for Triathlon Asia. In 2001, he was the torchbearer in the SEA Games, and again in Palarong Pambansa in 2005.

At 58, Rudy thinks he still has a lot to do as an athlete. He serves as an inspiration, not only to the physically challenged but also to normal people, just by setting a goal for himself and succeeding in it.
