Actor Smokey Manaloto dreams of becoming a chef and was already planning on studying a course in culinary arts when ABS-CBN offered him to do "Wildflower" a television series with actress Roxanne Guinoo in the lead.
"I was supposed to study in Canada where my parents live. I allotted a year and a half for study," he said. Manaloto said that while cooking is a passion, it's going to have to take a back seat now that he has a new acting project.
Besides cooking, Smokey said he's spending a lot of time nowadays watching a lot of movies, television series and reviewing tapes of his performances.
Smokey, who first became known to audiences first as a child star and then a comedic actor, believes that he manages to stay in showbiz because of his love and dedication to his work.
"I love my job, I love what I'm doing and siguro sini-swerte lang ako, swerte lang," he said.
Manaloto said that right now he is trying to figure out what else he can do in his life and career.
Thankfully, his lovelife does not lack sparkle. The actor admitted to that he is now dating a very special woman. Marriage is a big possibility.
"Of course it's one of my plans -- soon hopefully,” the actor said.
He refused to give more details about the woman, saying that she's not in showbusiness.
"Dream wedding ko sa probinsiya, lumang simbahan, gusto ko sa simbahan talaga," he said.
Smokey is a freelance actor but said that he is very loyal to the network that gave him a break as a star.
"I'm very loyal to the company that gave me my break -- Channel 2," he proudly said.
The actor started his showbiz career when he was 10 years old in "Kulit Bulilit."
His last TV series with ABS-CBN was in "Maging Sino Ka Man: Ang Pagbabalik" where he starred with John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo.

Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez on Monday ordered the filing of graft charges against two city mayors and 19 public officials for approving the purchase of overpriced lampposts and other street lighting facilities used in the 12th Asean Summit last year.
In a 30-page resolution, Gutierrez ordered the filing of charges for violation of Republic Act 3019 or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act against former mayor Thadeo Ouano of Mandaue City and Mayor Arthuro Radaza of Lapu-Lapu City.
The case stemmed from the investigation conducted by the Public Assistant and Corruption Prevention Office of the Ombudsman-Visayas on the acquisition and installation of lampposts and street lighting facilities along the streets of Cebu, Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu cities for the 12th ASEAN Summit.
According to the fact-finding team, each lamppost was priced 10 times higher than its actual cost. Based on Department of Public Works and Highways records, the project cost over P365 million.
Aside from the two mayors, other respondents in the case to be charged before the Sandiganbayan are Mandaue OIC-City Engineer Hidelisa Latonio, Assistant City Engineer Gregorio Omo and Engineers Mario Gerolaga, Alfredo Sanchez Sr., and Rosalina Denque, and Lapu-Lapu City Engineer Julito Cuizon, Assistant City Engineer Fernando Tagaan Jr. and Engineer Rogelio Veloso.
Also ordered charged were DPWH Region VII Director Robert Lala, Former Assistant Regional Director Gloria Dindin, Assistant Regional Director Marlina Alvizo, OIC-Chief Maintenance Division Pureza Fernandez, OIC-Assistant Chief Maintanance Division Cresencio Bagolor, Reg. Legal Officer Agustinito Hermoso, Planning and Design Division Chief Luis Galang, Administrative Division Chief Restituto Diano, and Construction Division Chief Buenaventure Pajo.
The Ombudsman also ordered the filing of charges against two private individuals namely Isabelo Braza, President and Chairman of the Board, Fabmik Construction and Equipment Supply Company, Inc.; and Gerardo Surla, Chairman of the Board, Gampik Construction and Development, Inc.
DPWH execs most liable
In its decision, the Ombudsman said that of all respondents, the DPWH officials " are the ones who most obviously appear to be liable" for the projects after approving "all the programs of work, awarded the projects to the winning contractors, and executed the corresponding contracts."
The Ombudsman said the local officials are also responsible for approving the project including its detailed estimates.
Gutierrez ordered the dismissal from the service of DPWH officials Lala, Dindin, Alvizo, Fernandez, Bagolor, Hermoso, Galang, Diano, and Pajo for grave misconduct. Local officials Ouano, Latonio, Omo, Gerolaga, Sanchez, Denque, Cuizon, Tagaan, and Veloso were likewise ordered dismissed from the service for similar offense.
Assistant Ombudsman Mark Jalandoni said the charges should serve as a warning to all government officials to keep contracts aboveboard and refrain from entering contracts that are disadvantageous to the government.

FiRE's first annual cultural show Diwang Pinay , focuses on the rich and growing Pinay art community in New York city. The show will feature Filipino women singers, bands, poets, dancers and visual artists. Pinays from all over the United States are also coming to celebrate the night in hopes to build a national network of Filipino women interested in art and activism.
Through a night filled with art and performance Filipinas will call attention to the gross human rights violations situation in the Philippines. In the past year, this issue has garnered international attention and Diwang Pinay aims to contribute to raising awareness in our community through Filipino women's art.
"No human rights case in the Philippines has yet to be solved. The disappearances, killings and harassment of community leaders and members have consequences for Filipino women," states Valerie Francisco, secretary general of FiRE, "As women work hard to combat the ill effects of landlessness and lack of jobs their partners, children, cousins, loved ones and sometimes even themselves experience the wrath of state violence."
The one-of-a-kind Filipino women's event hosts a special guest speaker, Emmi De Jesus, the secretary general of GABRIELA, a national alliance of women's organization in the Philippines. De Jesus will highlight the impacts of the human rights violations on Filipino women there.
Diwang Pinay promises to fill the historic Judson Memorial Church in New York City with the cutting edge artistry of young Filipino American women who, even thousands of miles away from their motherland, insist on connecting their lives here in the US to the lives of women in the Philippines.
"The first step to solving a problem is being aware that it is there in the first place," stated Jackie Mariano, an active member of FiRE. "I hope that Diwang Pinay serves as a wake-up call to all art-lovers out there. Art imitates life. While our art will depict our struggle, it will also depict our international solidarity."
As a member of GABRIELA-USA, FiRE is mounting a momentous event in initiating action around the human rights violations in the Philippines through showcasing Filipino women's art. Diwang Pinay will serve as a testament to the struggles and triumphs of Filipino women all over the world.
There will be a community reception on Friday, April 18 at 7:30pm at the Bayanihan Community Center, 40-21 69th Street in Woodside, Queens with Emmi De Jesus and the Filipino community in New York.
Diwang Pinay will be held on April 19, 2008 from 6pm to 9pm at Judson Memorial Church, 55 Washington Square South in Manhattan, New York.

The Philippine Star
Majority of commercial establishments in the National Capital Region are suffering from a shortage of qualified workers, the Department of Labor and Employment reported Thursday.
Results of a survey showed that nearly half or 39.3 percent of the 5,000 companies involved in the study reported recruitment problems or a shortage of qualified applicants, Labor Secretary Marianito Roque said.
The survey, done by the DOLEs Bureau of Labor and Employment Statistics, showed that many companies are having difficulty recruiting new workers.
Labor officials earlier said the dearth of qualified workers stems from a mismatch between the courses taken by the workers and what the firms really need as well as the lack of basic skills such as fluency in English.
They also said the business sector needs workers with experience, something that fresh graduates lack.
Another problem affecting majority of companies at this time, Roque said, is the high labor turnover rate or the pirating of workers from other companies.
The figures indicated that companies are more into hiring the best and the brightest people even in the midst of manpower shortage, Roque pointed out.
Other issues adversely affecting the operations of companies in Metro Manila are absenteeism and tardiness of workers, theft, fraud, low productivity and lack of work ethics.
The least among the concerns aired by company owners are loyalty and interpersonal problems.
Based on records from the Bureau of Local Employment , there are a total of 64,386 vacancies in various firms nationwide. For the past three years, the DOLE has recorded an increasing number of unfilled positions despite the high unemployment rate in the country.
Call center agents and nurses are among the most in demand, with close to 2,000 vacancies reported last month. The DOLE also reported the need for qualified technical support staff and office clerks.
A list provided by the DOLE showed that among the positions that remain unfilled – despite the high number of interested applicants – are those for sales clerk, general carpenter, service crew, cashier, factory worker, construction carpenter, accounting clerk, steelman, marketing assistant, human resource development clerk, account executive, sales engineer, mason, information technology specialist, and graphic artist.
