TV host Drew Arellano is passionate about two things: Running and cooking.

In a recent interview he told us he normally runs every Tuesday and Thursday, after which he eats a hearty meal. As a cook, he said he prefers simple dishes like omelet and sometimes paella.

Drew also said he loves cooking more than Iya Villania, his girlfriend of eight years now.

He also sees marriage a few years from now. “Maybe in three years time. There’s really no hurry,” Drew smiled, and added in jest: Actually I’m still waiting for her to propose!”

Like Drew, Iya is also very focused on activities that would make her fit. Iya takes good care of her body. “Iba kasi if you’re really fit,” Drew said.   www.centurytuna.ph or Century Tuna’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/centurytuna.     Happy b-day greetings today, April 2, go to Geneva Cruz, Ms. Vilma Valera, Tina Leeman, Ma. Victoria Sanchez, Mary Jane Cabanizas, Jorge Marcos, Francisco Diga, Dr. Jonathan F. Reyes, David and Carmie Romula, Edwin Silan and singer-actress Danita Paner…

Aside from it being his training for a marathon he is competing in Paris in April, Drew said he enjoys running because “it clears my mind, it gives me time to reflect on things and to internalize…”

He usually does a 10-kilometer run starting at 3a.m. Then he goes to his job as segment host of “Unang Hirit.”

Aside from “Unang Hirit,” Drew has two other shows, “Balikbayan” now titled “Weekend Get-Away,” and “Aha.”
