MIA: “Gimik’s” reunion!

It’s not a reunion but a get-together of a few characters in the so-called “Gimik’s” “grandest reunion” this Sunday in “Your Song Presents.”

Only (as photo shows, from left to right) Diether Ocampo, Judy Ann Santos, Mylene Dizon, Bojo Molina, and G Toengi made it to the 2010 reunion of the “Gimik” cast. More than 90% were absent, making it a fake reunion.

But that’s understandable. Rico Yan is dead. Patrick Garcia, Marvin Agustin, and Jolina Magdangal have exclusive contracts with GMA7, ABS-CBN ‘s rival network. Dominic Ochoa, Diego Castro, Rica Peralejo, Kaye Abad, Paula Peralejo, LJ Moreno, John Lloyd Cruz as Junie de Dios, Kristine Hermosa, Kristopher Peralta, Cheska Garcia, Baron Geisler, Carlos Agassi could have been easily included in the reunion but budget does not allow such a large number of stars. The same situation applies to the extended cast which included Claudine Barretto, Jodi Sta. Maria, and Julia Clarete.
