SIGURADONG MAGUGULAT KAYO SA KANYANG TRANSFORMATION! ITO NA PALA ANG NANGYARI KAY ATE GLOW MATAPOS MAWALA SA SHOWBIZ!

Do you still remember Ate Glow? Glow was born under the name Rene Boy Facunla and later on became widely known by her screen name Ate Glow. Few people know the strong-willed persona underneath the veneer of Ate Glow because she became iconic for her hilariously impressive impersonations.

In the past, Ate Glow was known for impersonating former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Her stand-up shows were a hit back in the day. Word about the impersonator spread and soon enough even the head of state asked to meet her!

During an interview with GMA News TV’s “Tunay na Buhay,” Ate Glow exclaimed how she was overwhelmed upon meeting the woman she had been impersonating on stage.

She exclaimed:

“Pagkaharap din namin, it was also a validation na, na-confirm ko rin na hindi pala siya sa’kin galit. The reason why she likes me doing an impersonation of her was because I’m a smart person daw.”

Back then, impersonating a politician, especially a head of state, was like walking on eggshells. Despite the possible controversy and risks, Ate Glow’s natural talent for entertainment made her one of the most popular and in-demand impersonators in the Philippine showbiz industry.

Nowadays, even though she is no longer appearing onscreen, it’s good to know that the quiet life suits Ate Glow. These days, she spends most of her time at home with her long-time British boyfriend while living a relatively peaceful life in London.

The couple tied the knot in a private wedding ceremony in 2016. Even though it has been more than seven years since her last standup act, Ate Glow still meets fans in London.

Every now and then, while she’s strolling along the streets of London with her husband, a Filipino fan will approach her to ask for a photo. Although the recognition is flattering, Ate Glow revealed that it has been the cause of their arguments.

She narrated:

“Hindi nga niya alam, e. Minsan nga napag-awayan pa namin ‘yon kasi sabi niya I lied to him daw. Lumabas kami isang beses tapos may mga nagpa-picture sa’kin ng mga Filipino. Sabi niyang ganon, ‘that’s mental. Why would they ask for a picture from you?’”

This just proves that even though she’s been absent from the limelight for a while now, she still remains one of the most beloved Filipino impersonators. Indeed, Ate Glow is one of the few comediennes who has managed to make name for herself due to her skills of impersonation.
