Moira dela Torre's epic drunk tale: When celebs get goofy

Published Sep 18, 2023 02:48 am

We've all had those nights, right? Well, turns out, that even our favorite celebs aren't immune to a hilarious tipsy adventure.

Moira dela Torre, the queen of emotional ballads, recently spilled the beans on one such side-splitting escapade, proving stars like her can get just as goofy as the rest of us after a few drinks.

Well, it happened some years ago when Moira was overseas with her fellow singer, KZ Tandingan.

During their international gig, Moira and KZ were assigned as roomies. Now, this was a stroke of luck because KZ happens to be one of Moira's closest pals in the industry.

Moira, thrilled about the arrangement, promptly assured KZ, "Akong bahala sayo. Aalagaan kita. Inom tayo."

Funny enough, it didn't quite turn out that way.

Moira can still paint a vivid picture of that wild night when she and KZ got so tipsy that they needed a rescue mission by their fellow Kapamilya stars like Zanjoe Marudo, Jodi Sta. Maria, Dimples Romana, Kathryn Bernardo, and Daniel Padilla.

After their epic escapade, they stumbled upon a restaurant and decided to treat themselves to a feast, ordering expensive dishes like T-bone steak and pasta galore.

But when the bill arrived, Moira and KZ exchanged a panic-stricken glance, realizing they'd forgotten their wallets.

"So yun po. Di kami nagbayad. Si Kuya Zanjoe po nagbayad. Medyo wala din po siyang choice," Moira shared, emphasizing that she'd never forget that hilarious mishap.

In fact, it's become an enduring joke between her and KZ.

"Nu'ng nag-Milan po kami for 'ASAP,' siya (KZ) ulit ka-roommate ko. In-offer-an kami ng alak, tiningnan niya ako ng masama," Moira recalled, bursting into laughter.

So, what's Moira like as a friend?

Well, she believes that at this season of her life, she's got her first and second circle of friends all figured out.

"I think it takes a while for people to really know who their first circle is. And it definitely took a while for me," she shared. "And I'm really, really thankful that in the last few years, God really helped me define who my friends are."

To her, these folks have exemplified what real friends are made of.

"And they have been on me for the last eight years. They never left my side. It's a safe space. I think a friend is there to... they're not people who will tolerate when you do something wrong. But you will read it in their hearts the intention when they correct you. Cause there will always be noise around you, there will always be opinions but you always hear intentions. You'll always feel safe when the intention is coming from a good place. And that's a real friend."

Then, she gave a shoutout to her bandmates.

"There was never a time that we fought that I felt like they didn't love me. And so with my band, I feel like, that's how friends are. You stick together through thick and thin. You grow together, you go together. You love each other through all the changes," she emphasized, relating how she changed so much over the years but her friends "embraced every change."

"And they love me through every change and through every phase," she added.

Bulletin Entertainment recently caught up with Moira as she took on the role of brand ambassador for Maria Clara's fresh take on a drink.

But being the face of the brand isn't all. Moira also penned the anthem “Maria Clara,” a whole song that's now the company's catchy jingle. Her soothing voice carries a powerful message of self-love, no matter the situation.

When asked about representing an alcoholic brand, Moira revealed she put a lot of thought into it. She's careful about her endorsements and wanted to be sure it's a brand she can genuinely stand behind.

Luckily, it's not foreign to her.

She feels a special bond with the company, thinking of it as a brand that's been like a "good friend" for years.

"I believe my music has been a friend," she related.
