Is there nothing the Diamond Star can’t do? She has captured the hearts of many showbiz enthusiasts with her acting skills, and now, she turned heads with her drag transformation as Kinang Inay. Although she did it for a parody on her vlog, it feels refreshing to see established stars recognize the efforts of performers like drag queens to make them feel seen in what’s usually a prejudiced society.
‘Maalaala Mo Kaya’
For three decades, Filipinos knew that Saturday nights were when they could catch a glimpse of inspiring stories through Maalaala Mo Kaya. Charo Santos-Concio became a household name as she brought these stories and more to Filipino viewers across the globe. Seeing her bid farewell from the screen is like a sign of the times as an old era closes. Hopefully, tomorrow brings brighter days ahead.
People …are not talking about
Paolo Contis
After going to Baguio with Yen Santos as “friends,” their relationship may have become more intimate. Paolo was proud of Yen for winning the Best Actress Award for A Faraway Land at the recent Gawad Urian Awards, but do friends call each other with possessive pronouns? Netizens know Paolo for his sweet-talking tendencies on social media because he used to flex his former partner LJ Reyes. The “friend” excuse just isn’t convincing anyone anymore.
Vicki Belo and Alex Gonzaga
Everyone knows Heart Evangelista steals the scene with her love for couture and known brands during international fashion shows. A mere mention from her is a privilege many would love to have. Yet a joke from Alex and Belo about how Heart snubbed them during Milan Fashion Week went over everyone’s heads because it wasn’t near the truth. It’s just getting harder to discern fact from opinion nowadays.
