Herlene Budol
From a comedienne with a dream to a Binibining Pilipinas first runner-up, Herlene came a long way to achieving her goal. Although many are still debating whether or not she deserved the top spot, she proved anything is possible with faith and perseverance. Nonetheless, she deserves the milestone and has since become an inspiration to people who want to achieve what people deem impossible.
Sandara Park
It’s been some time since the “Pambansang Krung Krung” came home to the Philippines, so fans were ecstatic to see her during the K-pop Masterz concert. Although she initially planned to surprise GOT7 member BamBam, she performed alongside the Thai musician after giving him a taste of the Philippines. It must be nice to have Sandara as a friend and big sister.

Giselle Sanchez
She played a controversial role in Darryl Yap’s Maid in Malacañang. Now, critics are coming for her portrayal that people find insulting. While Giselle already faces the wrath of netizens, director and playwright Floy Quintos also gave his two cents on the issue, saying her explanation sounded more like a justification. As an artist, she remains firm on her choice, but her lengthy post made some people wonder whether she’s convincing them or herself.
Kuya Kim
The presence of monkeypox in the Philippines alarmed everybody as they clamored for more information on the new health risk. As the country’s Trivia King, Kuya Kim shed some knowledge on the disease, which turned out to be offensive and inaccurate. Thankfully, he was quick to address his mistake. Now that’s one way to use a celebrity’s influence for the better.
