RoBoots

The teleserye Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin (MLKI) ignited many attention to the
Ronaldo Valdez-Boots Anson Roa tandem.
Their characters as husband and wife faced a rift brought by the extra marital affair of
Jaime Sebastiano (Ronaldo Valdez) and the bringing home of an illegitimate daughter the event eventually drove Remedios Sebastiano (Boots Anson Roa) to leave Jaime and once again joined the lawless group of "rebelde's" where she used to be a member before she met Jaime.
The heavy lines, spiteful looks, grudges, pain, and contempt for each others character is only the top layer for Jaime and Remedios.
It is in fact the "I Still Love You" unsaid lines, the lingering looks, and the
"You're All I'm Thinking Of" alone moments that really captured the audience hearts.

So, that is where my interest for the RoBoots "love team" started.
Then, out of nowhere, something hit me.
I realized, this is not the first project that this two people starred as husband and wife and incidentally, I watched those films already. Its just that, it didn't matter to me then, no buttons are pushed. But now, it meant a lot it did pushed a lot of buttons.
Here is a List (From my Memory)

1. the Butch Belgica Story
(Where they play parents to Joco Diaz who played Butch Belgica)
Note: There was a scene where Joco approached Ms. Boots who was crying because of her husband's affair.
2. Sukob
(They played parents to Kris Aquino who became the subject of the curse)
Note: A confrontation scene of a crying Ronaldo Valdez and also a crying Boots Anson Roa about the husband having illegitimate child from a mistress.
3. May Minamahal
(Ms.Boots played the role of Aga Muhlach's mom, and Mr.Ronaldo played Aiko Melendez's dad)
4. When Love Begins
(Here, they are the "super" sweet parents of Aga Muhlach)
5. Pidols Woderland Christmas Special.



For the 5th of the list, it was a breather from the heavy drama for me, though it was from 2010
I just saw it while surfing "youtube" and scanning for some RoBoots stuff's in the middle of the MLKI airing.
Ms. Boots played "Boots" the long lost friend of Sussana (Susan Roces) and Pidol (Dolphy) who went missing from the day she was suppose to marry Joe (Ronaldo Valdez).
As a result from devastation and heartache, Joe turned nuts and dropped his basket.
(Lost his mind)
It kinda blew my top off seeing Ronaldo Valdez danced, hips swaying, grinding and to top it all off in a crazy state of mind, wearing crazy dirty clothes and randomly rattling crazy things.
And I REALLY blew my top off seeing Boots Anson Roa giggle like a school girl, tucked her hair behind her ear and gushed and blushed.
It was a major "OH MY GOSH!!" for me.
The video clips of those precious "Joe?" "Boots?"
"Boots!!" "Joe!", "Joe.." "Boots.." scenes drove me mad and had me laughing in stitches till my side hurts.
6. MLKI
(He, w/ an extra marital affair. She, the martyr wife who turned into a martyr no more)
Just recently, I found an old movie poster here in the net
(GOD Bless the person who uploaded it)
then it leads us to the 7th in our list.
7. Ang Pag-Ibig koy huwag mong sukatin




It is only very unfortunate of me that there are no information's available about this movie.

Aside from the professionalism, it is the good relationship with your co-actor that makes the tandem click.
In this case, this two people remained good friends through decades and i guess it is what made it easy for both to work with comfort and ease alongside each other.

NOTE: Notice that 3 of the items in list has small notes indicating that in those films/tv series, may illicit extra marital affair si Mr. Ron Valdez and Ms. Boots is the ever martyr na asawa.
i found it funny and cute at the same time.
