Kuya Germs can’t honor FrancisM

MANILA, Philippines—FrancisM is on the list of 30 new inductees to the Pinoy Walk of Fame on Eastwood City in Libis, but his widow, Pia Arroyo-Magalona, seems to be opposing it.

Show biz impresario German “Kuya Germs” Moreno, who started the annual induction to the local version of Hollywood’s Walk of Fame in 2006, is apparently irked by Pia’s objection.

“I asked her permission, but she declined,” Kuya Germs said. “I talked to Malou Choa Fagar (producer of “Eat Bulaga,” where FrancisM was one of the cohosts) to help me convince Pia, to no avail.”

Among the first inductees were FrancisM’s parents, Pancho Magalona and Tita Duran. “Francis was very happy when we put his parents’ ‘stars’ on the walk,” Kuya Germs recalled. “He even asked when he would get his own star.”

Inquirer tried to call Pia for comment but she could not be reached.

This year’s other inductees are: Luis Gonzales, Armida Siguion-Reyna, Jose Mari Chan, Basil Valdez, Rico J. Puno, Rey Valera, Hajji Alejandro, Apo Hiking Society, Jaclyn Jose, Ricky Davao, Jackie Lou Blanco, Gabby Concepcion, Niño Muhlach, Cherry Pie Picache, Jed Madela, Aiza Seguerra, Ogie Alcasid, Sarah Geronimo, Jolina Magdangal, Janno Gibbs, Michael V, John Lloyd Cruz, KC Concepcion, Marky Cielo, Isko Moreno, Yul Servo, Christian Bautista, Dingdong Avanzado and Nonito Donaire.

Their stars will be unveiled Dec. 1. At press time, Kuya Germs was still hopeful he could include FrancisM’s.
