The British Council presents a special Valentine concert billed “Love, Actually,” tonight at 6 at the Podium Lounge.
Directed by Angie Magbanua, “Love, Actually” gathers artists who have been affiliated with the British Council in terms of scholarship grants or performance. Angie herself is a BC grantee to the 2000 World Arts Festival in Theater and Literature in Edinburgh, Scotland as well as in London. She also joins the cast as Queen Victoria in “Love, Actually.”
The cast includes Roselyn Zaldivar Perez, a student on Shakespeare at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, and Jake Macapagal, who was in the UK tourism production of “Miss Saigon.”
“Love, Actually” features pop stars Lance Raymundo and Michelle Gallaga Trinidad. Both have successfully crossed over from pop music to the theater. Raymundo and Trinidad have been in BC’s tour of “How Do I Love Thee.”
Providing the musical soiree ambience to the readings of the romantic poetry by some of the most passionate writers of the United Kingdom, are musical director and pianist Bobby Gomez and harpist Holly Angel Paraiso who will also highlight British contemporary music.

Kuh’s Hacienda opens
Kuh Ledesma’s Hacienda Isabella—a property off Tagaytay which the Pop Diva plans to develop into a country club—will be open for Valentine’s Day.
Couples who want something different (other than usual concert and dinner) can hie off to Hacienda Isabella for a typical country dinner under the skies on Feb. 14.
Only an hour and half away from Manila, Hacienda Isabella was originally intended by Kuh to be a retreat house and as a bed-and-breakfast getaway for bored city dwellers. Recently, she decided to open it to the public and for weddings, debuts, birthday parties and other such gatherings. “This place is so beautiful, I wanted to share it with the public,” says the Pop Diva who named the place after her only daughter.
Hacienda Isabella is also envisioned as a performance venue. On March 20, for instance, Kuh will be having a concert inspired by Barbra Streisand’s One Voice show, which was held at Streisand’s former Malibu estate on Sept. 6, 1986. She will be joined by her daughter Isabella and up-and-coming singer Rebekah. Kuh also intends to invite other artists to stage shows there.
