Gela Atayde on her family's legacy, her career aspirations, and her unwavering determination to make her mark in showbiz.
In showbiz, it is a given that the spotlight frequently shines on individuals with storied family names.Like most, these scions have to prove themselves worthy of the iconic legacies of their family.
She admitted,"At first takot po talaga ako because I said 'If my brother had one wall to break; my sister had two walls; I have three cause its three of them.' But I think, right now, I don't. Cause I don't feel any pressure from them naman at all. I guess, I don't feel like I have anything to prove from.""Now that I'm starting acting, I think there will always be circumstances na we will be compared.
"Cause as a dancer, I realized that it's not as appreciated as we all hope we all wanted it to be," she related."So for me, I was given the opportunity to do it. Parang, I want to be able to explore dance and to be able to show everyone what actually dance is about; not just hip-hop, but maybe even explore other different styles. Para lang mas mapag-usapan siya."

Tropical Storm Hilary swamp roads, flood buildings in California and MexicoSAN DIEGO, California: Deadly floodwaters inundated streets across Mexico's arid Baja California on Sunday as Tropical Storm Hilary moved ashore carrying torrential rain into Southern California, while concerns mounted that flash floods could strike in places as far north as Idaho that rarely get such heavy rain.Forecasters said Hilary was the first tropical storm to hit Southern California in 84 years, bringing flash floods, mudslides, high winds, power outages and the potential for isolated tornadoes.Hilary made landfall along the Mexican coast in a sparsely populated area about 150 miles (250 kilometers) south of Ensenada, on a path to hit mudslide-prone Tijuana Sunday evening, threatening the improvised homes that cling to hillsides just south of the US border.At least 9 million people were under flash-flood warnings as heavy rain fell across normally sunny Southern California ahead of the brunt of the storm. Desert areas were especially susceptible along with hillsides with wildfire burn scars, forecasters warned.Mud and boulders spilled onto highways, water overwhelmed drainage systems and tree branches fell in neighborhoods from San Diego to Los Angeles. Dozens of cars were trapped in floodwaters in Palm Springs and surrounding desert communities across the Coachella Valley. Crews pumped floodwaters out of the emergency room at Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage.The Los Angeles Unified School District, the nation's second largest school system, said all campuses would be closed on Monday.'There is no way we can compromise the safety of a single child or an employee, and our inability to survey buildings, our inability to determine access to schools makes it nearly impossible for us to open schools,' Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said at a media briefing.
