The best and latest in Ricky’s show

Ricky Reyes

Today, the GMA News TV multi-awarded lifestyle program Gandang Ricky Reyes Todo Na Toh (GRR TNT) produced by ScriptoVision (9 a.m.) features the best and latest in total transformation, bakeshop healthful specialties, as well as sports and fitness regimens of some celebrities.

GRR TNT host-producer Ricky Reyes visits the gym first Starstruck Male Survivor Mark Herras frequents.  “Keeping fit is a must especially to a go-getter, active and terpsichorean like me,” says ever the youthful, agile and energetic Herras, also known as the “Bad Boy of the dance floor.”

Reyes also engages in a tete-a-tete with  stage actor-singer Lance Raymundo who says, ”My big brother (Rannie) and parents urged me to stop my work out after an almost fatal accident.  After recuperation, though, I felt that being unable to continue weight-lifting makes me weak.”

Some people avoid eating rice to cut down on their carbohydrate intake.  The GRR TNT crew with Reyes visit these “bread persons” who opt for freshly baked goodies with lesser calories to maintain their desired weight and slim figure.

Letter-sender Patricia Banzuela gets an early Christmas gift from the beauty guru.  Much to her disgust, her thinning hair resulting to baldness has been remedied by Gandang Ricky Reyes Salon hair specialists with a hairpiece made of human hair known as Wig na kaibig-ibig.
