Super Parental Guardians
Sixty-eight million pesos! That’s the “record-breaking” box office gross of the film on its first day. It even surpassed Star Cinema’s A Second Chance, which raked in P43.3 million on its opening day in November last year, as well as the reported P60.5 million first day earning of My Bebe Love, a 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival entry, including the P50 million ticket sales of the biopic, Felix Manalo. The tandem of Vice Ganda and Coco Martin is definitely the team to beat. And, oh, the film is about to breach the P300-million mark before it hits its second week at the tills.
Ethel Booba
She may not be the most visible comedienne in town. She’s not on a regular TV show, too. But Ethel has captured an audience that no other stars have done successfully. On Twitter, Ethel is the most relevant comedienne as netizens religiously follow her post and comments on current events especially those of national importance. People discovered that Ethel is smart based on her tweets, It is as if she’s an entirely different persona online. Charot!
Alden Richards
The Philippines did not win any major award at the biggest TV event in Asia but his presence alone was more than enough to make the country’s presence felt. Alden joined the region’s popular TV personalities like Adrian Pang, Stephanie Carrington, and Baki Zainal at the Asian TV Awards in Singapore, and for the nth time, the Kapuso leading man has proven why he’s called a social media rock star.

Enteng Kabisote 10
The film franchise top billed by Vic Sotto went head to head with the Vice Ganda-starrer comedy movie. While both films were poorly received by critics, well, for their bad quality and terrible storytelling, Enteng’s anemic box office performance gives people an impression that Vic is only a box office hero during MMFF when people have no other choice but to watch his film.
Mocha Uson
If there’s an award-giving body that recognizes national tards, this sexy singer would be a runaway winner. While respecting someone’s opinion is no longer a diplomatic gesture on social media and the Internet in general, Mocha makes it even worse by making sweeping statements based on her emotions alone and a limited understanding of the world she’s trying to squeeze herself into. The problem with showbiz personalities, they take politics seriously when their career starts to fall apart.
Mika de la Cruz
She’s currently in an awkward stage where people find it difficult to consider her as a child star or a teen darling. Then she moved to a mother studio that doesn’t know how to build budding stars. We understand that she just wants to stay afloat but didn’t her sister already suffered from her station hopping before? Well, a lot of people just don’t know how to learn from some other people’s experience.
