Michael Flores says Red Sternberg was set to return to PH for 'T.G.I.S.' reunion project
In Friday's "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,' Michael Flores, Bobby Andrews, and Angelu de Leon honored and remembered the late actor.
'Plano niyang bumalik dito. Plano nga niyang mag-artista ulit eh. Gusto nga niyang mag-artista daw ulit eh,' Michael said.
According to Michael, Red even sought advice from him and Bobby on who to approach regarding management for his return to acting.
''Pag naging OK baka mag-stay muna sila dito for a while kung OK 'yung magiging outcome. And then, 'yun nga, mag-ce-celebrate pa kami ng 30 years namin. Anniversary ng 'T.G.I.S.' So talagang sobrang excited siya to the point na nag-workout siya, nag-diet siya,' Michael said.
He also revealed that a 'T.G.I.S.' reunion project had already been planned.
'Kaya masakit nga eh. Kasi nga 'yung pag-uwi niya rito, meron talaga kaming pinaplanong reunion project. Hindi pa namin puwedeng sabihin in details pero meron na talaga. Kasi matagal na 'yan eh,' Michael said, acknowledging their fans' constant requests.
Bobby added, 'Ayos na lahat ng logistics, lahat ng ano, everything. And that was the reason why he was so excited to come home.'
When asked what they realized following Red's passing, Angelu said that 'time is fleeting. And you really don't know what will happen tomorrow.'
For Bobby, Red's passing is a 'wake up call,' noting that they're not that young anymore, so they must value the time they have left.
Michael remembered that life is indeed not short and nothing is permanent.
'Sabi nga nila, 'di ba, hiram lang naman 'tong buhay natin eh,' he said.
Red passed away on May 27 at 50 years old, three days before his birthday on May 30.
His wife, Sandy Sternberg, said that he died due to a heart attack, according to "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" on Friday.
The 'T.G.I.S.' barkada mourned Red's passing with social media posts and messages.
"T.G.I.S." was a popular youth-oriented afternoon weekly show that ran on GMA Network. It premiered on August 12, 1995 and had more than 200 episodes, plus a spin-off film "T.G.I.S.: The Movie" that premiered in 1997. The show is set to mark its 30th anniversary this year.

'The Clash': Adelle Yu says she still feels like a winner
Adelle Yu is the type to keep her head held high. The singer from Cotabato City is the latest hopeful to be eliminated from 'The Clash' but she says she still feels like a winner. 'I think I would want to circle back to my core. Because I will not deny, I'm just a human being, it will affect me, make me feel sad at some point. And 'yung core na sinasabi ko, the feeling of being grateful that I've achieved that far in the competition,' Adelle told GMA News Online. Adelle also said 'The Clash' gave her so many opportunities, like walking a red carpet for the first time, promo guestings, and rubbing elbows with Filipino art icons. 'It's such a huge milestone, kaya ko nasabi na I'm already a winner in my own story. What else can I ask for?' She also hopes that after getting to her core, she would have more guestings and shows. 'I wanna get back onstage and sing and perform for the people.' For Adelle, the biggest challenges in her journey were the vocal conditioning and the pressure of the competition as she thinks 'about how to get the attention of the judges of the judges, 'yung mga tao, pano mo ma-touch 'yung hearts nila through your song.' Meanwhile, her biggest achievement was to be seen by audiences which is something 'that will live on for the rest of my life.' 'In-allow nila 'ko to be me, to be authentic to myself, to the sound that I have,' she said. Adelle is also thankful for the support of her home province. She said she's surprised at her social media presence, and that certain videos get high views. ''Yung outpouring of support, para siyang understatement for me. It's more of parang, finally, I've been heard. And finally, I'm seen,' Adelle said. 'It's been years and lagi akong nagta-try,' she added. 'I think that's why nabansagan din ako ng 'The Unstoppable Diva' because no matter the circumstance, I've been through a lot, and I mean a lot. But every time I hold the microphone and I perform onstage in front of hundreds of thousands of people, naiiba eh, parang nadadala ako sa other dimension.' Should she have won, Adelle said she would visit her grandparents' resting places as they never saw her on 'The Clash,' have a concert, and release an album. In a previous interview, Adelle told GMA News Online that she chose the song 'Angels Brought Me Here" by Guy Sebastian to describe her journey because she did not expect to compete in 'The Clash 2025.' As much as she had wanted to join before, she said she was not in the right mindset and had other priorities like her family and work. 'Parang hindi siya ina-allow ng pagkakataon until today. So I feel like it's destined to happen in this time.' 'The Clash' airs at 7:15 p.m. on Sundays on GMA Network. —JCB, GMA Integrated News
