People…are talking about
Robin Padilla
A lot of celebrities are showing sympathy to the farmers in Kidapawan City, but it was the actor who made the first move. Robin made his way to the now troubled city where at least two people were killed and many others injured during a protest. As soon as learned of the incident, he flew to the city, brought with him sacks of rice for distribution to the protesters and personally checked the condition of the farmers. It’s clear, Robin, who is not a politician, is doing what many of those in position chose not to do.
Teejay Marquez
People may not be familiar with the name Teejay as they are to Alden, James or Daniel. But this name is slowly making waves in Indonesia where the aspiring actor is known as a social media celebrity. He’s been featured in numerous TV shows and is also being considered as an international star. With a movie project underway, Teejay feels he’s more popular in Indonesia than in the Philippines. Actually, he’s right.
Matteo Guidicelli
He knows a better way to shrug off critics. When Teddyboy Locsin, Jr. said that his portrayal of an Italian in the series Dolce Amore was pathetic, the Filipino-Italian must just took it lightly and thanked the journalist without any hint of bitterness or sarcasm. He didn’t even defend himself…because there were people, a lot of them, who did it for him. Sometimes, taking a different route is better and celebrities should learn that.
People…are not talking about
Kylie Padilla
There’s so much buzz happening around the reimagining of Encantandia. People are excited about seeing the new set of actors who will breathe life to the well-loved characters of the fantasy series. But the same thing cannot be said on Kylie’s inclusion as a cast member playing a pivotal role. You see, it’s hard to defend an actor who can’t act to begin with.
Manny Pacquiao
While we were busy, the boxing champ was attacked by an unknown assailant as he was about to leave a Japanese restaurant along Hollywood late afternoon on Sunday (Monday in Manila). The man was heard cursing and calling Pacman homophobic. This leads us to think that this year is a bad year for him. Yes, the year is still far from over. So, we are expecting for more things to come.
‘Little Nanay’
The primetime series went off the air with viewers not even noticing that it’s no longer part of the program lineup. Probably, everyone was busy vacationing or perhaps observing the lent when the last episode was aired. This cannot be a glaring indication that people were not moved by the advocacy of the series, they were actually. What they didn’t appreciate was the confused portrayal of a person with ID (intellectual disability).
