La Luna Sangre
There are many big things happening for the top–rating series. First, its lead stars Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla were named most beautiful by a popular magazine (although being beautiful is really subjective). The series is also a consistent trending topic on Twitter every single day. In fact, it starts trending early in the morning or more than 12 hours before a new episode airs. And finally, it has maintained double-digit ratings giving its rival a hard time to keep up. By the way, ratings are from AGB Nielsen, the one that GMA Network trusts more.
Rhian Ramos
At the recently concluded The Eddys, the Kapuso actress was one of the stars that people were excited to see. Arriving fully made up, Rhian’s presence made a bold statement: You don’t attend an awards show only because you’re the winner. You’re there to celebrate with people who believe in local talents. Nora Aunor was also in the event but walked home empty handed. But they are gracious enough to support the cause The Eddys would like to bring forth.
AlDub
One of the most read fashion magazines in the country has just announced that the issue featuring Alden Richards and Main Mendoza is the magazine’s highest selling issue. It can be recalled that the magazine had already featured other love teams, who are viewed as the most popular ones, but they didn’t sell as much as AlDub did. It just simply proves that AlDub is still a force to reckon with. The couple just needs a good project, which should also receive full support from its own network.

Jake Zyrus
The real Charice, since the Charice that we knew was just “a role” she played for having no choice but to, has just released a new single. And gender or sexual orientation aside, the single, which is a revival of a JR Siaboc original, is a feel good song and well sang. The only trouble is, like Charice “the biretera,” Jake Zyrus, the diminutive trans man, is just a novelty and business-wise is difficult to sell. We don’t think we already have a market for her or for him.
Louise de los Reyes
After cutting her ties with GMA Network and signing up as a Viva artist, she also had expressed her intention to do projects with ABS-CBN. Her wish was granted. She started appearing in FPJ Ang Probinsyano and soon in La Luna Sangre playing a bit role. She’s been relegated no doubt. From being a star in her own soap, now she’s just one of the faces in the background.
Manny Pacquiao
To save the “champion” boxer’s face from embarrassment, the Philippines Games and Amusements Board requested a new set of independent judges to rescore his fight with Australian boxer Jeff Horn. The request was granted, but as expected, the result was the same. Had Pacquiao been the same “superstar boxer” that he was, the decision would have been different. But we are not seeing Pacquiao retiring anytime soon. You know, greed. He will still milk the sport even if means losing at every game he plays.
