Michael Flores says Red Sternberg was set to return to PH for 'T.G.I.S.' reunion project
In Friday's "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,' Michael Flores, Bobby Andrews, and Angelu de Leon honored and remembered the late actor.
'Plano niyang bumalik dito. Plano nga niyang mag-artista ulit eh. Gusto nga niyang mag-artista daw ulit eh,' Michael said.
According to Michael, Red even sought advice from him and Bobby on who to approach regarding management for his return to acting.
''Pag naging OK baka mag-stay muna sila dito for a while kung OK 'yung magiging outcome. And then, 'yun nga, mag-ce-celebrate pa kami ng 30 years namin. Anniversary ng 'T.G.I.S.' So talagang sobrang excited siya to the point na nag-workout siya, nag-diet siya,' Michael said.
He also revealed that a 'T.G.I.S.' reunion project had already been planned.
'Kaya masakit nga eh. Kasi nga 'yung pag-uwi niya rito, meron talaga kaming pinaplanong reunion project. Hindi pa namin puwedeng sabihin in details pero meron na talaga. Kasi matagal na 'yan eh,' Michael said, acknowledging their fans' constant requests.
Bobby added, 'Ayos na lahat ng logistics, lahat ng ano, everything. And that was the reason why he was so excited to come home.'
When asked what they realized following Red's passing, Angelu said that 'time is fleeting. And you really don't know what will happen tomorrow.'
For Bobby, Red's passing is a 'wake up call,' noting that they're not that young anymore, so they must value the time they have left.
Michael remembered that life is indeed not short and nothing is permanent.
'Sabi nga nila, 'di ba, hiram lang naman 'tong buhay natin eh,' he said.
Red passed away on May 27 at 50 years old, three days before his birthday on May 30.
His wife, Sandy Sternberg, said that he died due to a heart attack, according to "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" on Friday.
The 'T.G.I.S.' barkada mourned Red's passing with social media posts and messages.
"T.G.I.S." was a popular youth-oriented afternoon weekly show that ran on GMA Network. It premiered on August 12, 1995 and had more than 200 episodes, plus a spin-off film "T.G.I.S.: The Movie" that premiered in 1997. The show is set to mark its 30th anniversary this year.

Marcoleta takes exception to joke: Napaka walang hiya
Sen. Rodante Marcoleta on Thursday expressed his ire during a committee hearing over a joke regarding his face, saying the person who delivered the line was without shame. According to Mav Gonzales' report on '24 Oras,' Marcoleta stated that the quip was delivered during a concert. 'Pati po ako ay kanyang idinawit. Bigla ba naman niyang sinabi, 'Tignan n'yo yung mukha ni Marcoleta kung matatawa kayo',' Marcoleta said. 'Napaka walang hiya n'ung tao na 'yon. Ayaw ko na lang siyang patusin,' he added. Marcoleta didn't name the person, but a video of comedian Vice Ganda joking about the senator had gone viral. Vice Ganda also had a joke which appeared to be about former President Rodrigo Duterte. In the skit, Vice Ganda referred to a 'jet ski holiday' which includes a trip to The Hague for the DDS. In a resolution, the Devao City Council condemned Vice Ganda's joke. "Former President Duterte is not merely a national leader, he is a son of Davao. For decades, he devoted his life to public service, transforming our city into a model of peace, discipline, and progress, and later serving as the 16th President of the Republic of the Philippines," the resolution read. –NB, GMA Integrated News
