A different side to Gladys Reyes

When it comes to being a kontrabida in Philippine television and movies, Gladys Reyes is widely known for her award-winning performances. Her sharp tongue, intense emotions, and convincing on-screen slaps cemented her presence in the industry.

Yet there’s more to Gladys than being an antagonist. Unknown to most of the audience, the actress is talkative and energetic, making her an ideal talk show host. Fortunately, Gladys has a platform to show her bubbly side. 

During the weekends, she hosts the celebrity talk show MOMents. Net 25 allowed her to debut as a talk show host and rebranded her image from a cold kontrabida to a warm and welcoming individual. She even goes by Gladys Reyes-Sommereux. The addition to her surname comes from her husband, Christopher Sommereux or Christopher Roxas in showbiz. She says it’s one way to distinguish between the authentic Gladys, who hosts the talk show, from the kontrabida Gladys. 

‘MOMents’ allows Gladys Reyes to show her fun and bubbly side

Throughout the years, she had guests on her show, including her close friends Judy Ann Santos, Carmi Martin, and Angelu de Leon. During the first few years, Gladys admitted to being the talent coordinator. Until now, she remains hands-on with her show, especially who gets to appear on the show. 

“Natutuwa ako na marami na akong nai-guest in the show na talagang naging malaman ang aming kwentuhan and we got to know them up close and personal,” she said during a press conference.

Gladys also interviews public servants on her show. But instead of asking them about politics, the actress-host focuses on light topics that her audience finds relatable. One memorable interview she had on MOMents was with President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. in 2018. 

“‘Yun ‘yung natutuwa ako, ‘yung naikwento niya talaga ‘yung paano sila nagkakilala ni Ma’am Liza (Araneta-Marcos). Rinig mo ‘yung pagiging genuine niyang tao,” Gladys shared.

That’s what Gladys loves best about her show, as she provides her guest with the opportunity to show a different side to them that only a few people know. 

Another memorable interview for her on the show was with former Batangas governor Vilma Santos, who appeared on MOMents twice. Gladys is looking forward to having her on the show for the third time. 

Gladys doesn’t let having different networks keep her from interviewing celebrities. For her, MOMents is a platform for viewers to learn more about their favorite celebrities’ personalities in a comfortable environment. 

“Sa MOMents, parang kwentuhan lang sa sala. Parang walang camera, walang pressure, kaya napapalabas ang totoong sila,” she said. 

In the future, she hopes to invite former senator Manny Pacquiao and his wife, Jinkee, to the show. Viewers can also expect to see Claudin Barretto as her guest, marking her first appearance on the show. 

MOMents returned for another season in September. It also marked the show’s 16th year on air. Viewers can expect segments like “Chikat” or Chikahan with sikat, where Gladys talks about anything and everything under the sun with celebrities, “Moment ko ‘to,” where guests can challenge Gladys, and “Kusina Moments,” which offers kitchen hacks. 

Catch MOMents every Sunday, 4:00 p.m., on Net 25.
