The No holds Barred Geneva & Rachel Interview

Singers Geneva Cruz and Rachel Alejandro took the hot
seat today in Magic 89.9's Good Times. The duo played
the celebrity challenge “Forbidden Questions” with DJ
Mo Twister—Mohan Gumatay in real life. German “Kuya
Germs” Moreno was scheduled to be this morning’s
guest, but begged off for personal reasons.

Best friends Geneva and Rachel answered the questions
together, but tapped out on the 30th question—“Which
local reporter do you dislike the most?”

Rachel said: “It would be career suicide.”

Geneva seconded: “it’s not worth it.”

The two were 11 questions short of beating the perfect
40 record of Marcos-scion Borgy Manotoc and talent
manager Lolit Solis. The "Forbidden Questions" format
had the questions rolling every time guests gave an
answer; the questions stopped the moment the guest
refused to give an answer. The guest who successfully
answered all 40 questions was placed at the top of the
totem pole.

Although Geneva and Rachel managed to get only to
Question No. 29, they still gave enough shocking and
scandalous answers.

On dating married men—Geneva answered “Never.” Rachel
revealed: “I have not gone out [with a married man].
We stayed in [laughs]. Of course I knew he was
married. The wife never knew about it, but he also
left her for another girl.”

On singers who have overrated voices—Rachel' s answer:
“Regine Velasquez.” She explained that it was a matter
of preference because she liked singers with big
voices rather than singers with a high range. Geneva
seconded, “Sheryn Regis, because she also has a Regine
feel."

On celebrities with body odor—Geneva said she didn't
know any. Rachel named Jao Mapa as someone who had bad
breath, but swore that she only noticed it once.

On "plastic” celebs or those who gave you a big hug
then dissed you once you were gone—Geneva recounted an
incident. She was having dinner with her boyfriend KC
Montero, ex-husband Paco Arespacochaga, his current
wife Tiny, and Angel Aquino (Tiny’s friend). The
singer-actress said that she overheard Angel
reassuring Tiny that Tiny was prettier than her.
Geneva felt that the comparison was unnecessary
because she wasn’t trying to get Paco back and,
therefore, there was no competition going on between
them. She ended the story by saying that she, Tiny,
and Angel have already resolved things among
themselves.

Meanwhile, Rachel named G Tongi. She said that they
don't really greet each other. Then one day, G
suddenly “touched base” with her. She said that she
suspected G’s manager made G do so.

On artists they dislike working with—Geneva answered:
April Boy Regino. She recounted an incident wherein
she was performing with him and a group of other
Filipino singers in Japan. April, who was supposed to
sing six songs, performed 12 solo songs, thus delaying
the all-star finale.

For Rachel, it was Janno Gibbs, because the
singer/host/ actor was perennially late when they were
still working together.

On losing their virginity—Rachel said she lost hers to
her first boyfriend Dingdong Avanzado when she was 17
years of age. Geneva said she lost hers to her second
boyfriend and ex-husband, Paco Arespacochaga, when she
was 18.

Did they prefer Kapamilya (ABS-CBN) or Kapuso (GMA-7)?
Rachel chose ABS-CBN because, she said, the station
had better signal and better picture quality. She also
admitted that she performed for ABS-CBN’s The Filipino
Channel (TFC) tour. Geneva answered: “GMA!”

On one-night stands—Geneva admitted that she's had
three of these, and that they came after Paco
Arespacochaga and before KC Montero. One of them was
with her good friend Keempee de Leon. Rachel has had
two, both non-showbiz.

On celebrity closet gays—Both stars answered "Sam
Milby." Rachel explained, “He is hot, but he seems
womanly.”

On their choice of the worst actor/actress— Geneva
joked: “KC and Troy [Montero].” Rachel was serious:
“Gary Estrada and Kris Aquino.”

Geneva and Rachel are leaving tomorrow for a series of
concerts in the U.
