Now , in this volume, let us know the story of  not only smart but also beautiful broadcaster  of the year, Ms. Eclipse 'Ellie' Fortalejo.

Ate K: How are you, beautiful?

Eclipse: Eto, maganda pa rin. *laughs*

Ate K: Nasabi ko na sayo, di ba, kung mag-kano yung ibibigay mo sakin? Okay lang kahit mag-kano basta galing sa puso.

Eclipse: Wala akong barya!

Ate K: Tumatanggap ako ng buo.

Eclipse: *scratch her head*

Ate K: Okay, okay. Let's proceed to the interview. Why does the restaurant named Mong's? Actually, maraming nag-tataka kung bakit Mong's yung pangalan.

Eclipse: Mong's is the name of our troupe. Pinaikli na Mongoloid.*laughs*

Ate K: So, paano mo namamanage yung resto kasabay ng pagiging news caster mo?

Eclipse: Tamang time managment. Janitor kasi yung trato sa kin pag naliligaw ako sa tambayan. Si Azra yung chef, si Billie yung sa cashier, tapos ako yung atsay. *laugh* Hindi, syempre, yun nga time managment tapos meron namang ibang employee dun na nakakatulong samin so hindi siya gaanong hassle.

Ate K: You're one of the beautiful faces of news industry, bakit hindi ka na lang nag-artista?

Eclipse: I'm not a celebrity, you know? I don't consider myself as a celebrity. I'm just doing the things I love, yung pag-rereport nga ng mga balita sa mga kababayan natin.

Ate K: Napapabalita rin yung closure nyo ni Luis Cadavedo. Care to tell us the truth?

Eclipse: Iihawin ako ng buhay ni Luis nito. *laugh* is this a Showbiz Mag na din ba? Hmm.. well, Luis is a very good friend of mine. Since I enter this new world, Luis always lend me a hand. Kasi hindi ko forte yung reporting. I'm on the reseacher's team talaga. So nung nadiscover ako ni Boss Mike, si Luis yung una kong naging kaibigan.

Ate K: Wala na ba talagang chance na lumagpas sa pagiging mag-kaibigan man lang?

Eclipse: Wala ee. Walang dating ee. Sorry, Luis! *bow*

Ate K: Do you expirience being in state of love?

Eclipse: Opo naman, yes. *smirk*

Ate K: Did I sense sime sarcasm here?

Eclipse: Maybe? *laughs*

Ate K: What can you say about being in state of love on Eclipse expirience?

Eclipse: Hmm.. throwback ba ituu? Well, the thing that I've expirience about love is the thing that.. sometimes, love never last. Sometimes, love fades away, y'know?

Ate K: Looks like, you really dwells the pain up until now? Isn't it okay to continue?

Eclipse: Yeah sure why not? *smile*

Ate K: How can you describe your case?

Eclipse: Hmm.. my case proves that it's not always fairytales that 'and-they-lived-happily-ever-after' thing but makes me realize that before you love someone, love yourself first. Wag yung mag-mamahal ka muna, masasaktan ka muna, bago mo mamahalin yung sarili mo. Magtira ka ng pag-mamahal sa sarili mo, hindi bigay lahat para kapag nawala na, makakaya mong bumangon.

Ate K: So it's really deep, eh? *laugh*

Eclipse: Please, don't talk about it! I'm serious!*high-pitched*

Ate K: Okay, okay! Last question, what makes an Eclipse Fortalejo successful today?

Eclipse: Pain makes an individual strong. *smile*
