After more than a dozen year in showbiz marked by successes, Enchong Dee remains in fighting form, still in tip-top shape as an artist to reckon with.
Jake Cuenca is one of the stars of upcoming ABS-CBN show Viral Scandal. Of course, the actor went, uhm, also viral a couple of weeks ago because of an incident with the police involving a buy-bust operation. According to reports, the policemen were in an undercover operation and dressed as civilians when he was stopped. The actor, in his vehicle, side-swiped one of the police cars.
PUTTING singer Gigi de Lana into a single song category would be difficult. She first gained the showbiz spotlight when she joined Tawag ng Tanghalan singing torch songs, but unfortunately she didn’t bag the grand title. And then she started a YouTube channel where she and her band (Gigi Vibes composed of Jon Cruz, Jake Manalo, LA Arquero and Romeo Marquez) would perform covers of pop songs. At the time, Gigi would be happy if there were around 30 viewers of her livestream.

You have got to give it to Maymay Entrata.
IT is more or less 30 days before the deadline of registration for new voters. The upcoming elections will be very consequential—with the country divided, a pandemic that seems to have no end, and an economy circling the drain—so it is very important to exercise your right to vote.
Sorry, Kameron Michaels. No tea, no shade but your rant on your lackluster return to Drag Race All Stars did not make us gag much as did the announcement of not one but two audition calls for upcoming drag race reality competitions set here in our country: Drag Race Philippines and Drag Den.
Perky, wholesome and unashamedly earnest, last year’s Metro Manila Filmfest entry The Boy Foretold by The Stars is something of a landmark in local LGBTQ cinema. A high-school romance with a nod to Korean and Thai romcoms that dominated the early 2000s, it ticks all the boxes of the genre. Except that the central character, Dominic (Adrian Lindayag), is an effeminate gay who, with the prodding of a manghuhula, is on the lookout for three signs to find his soulmate. Of course, a lot of things, some funny but many touching moments, happen before he happily ends up with his “real” love, Luke (Keann Johnson), and just like that, an alternative gay narrative is written. One that doesn’t end in inevitable heartbreak and suffering, or one involving a macho dancer in some seedy gigolo bar.
Television is a powerful medium. So powerful that it can make someone as jaded as I am cry. I am quite familiar with the landscape. I work on TV. I know what happens in front of and behind the camera.
Strength comes in numbers. This year, Star Magic’s strategic partnerships with Rise Artists Studio, Star Hunt, and the different production units of ABS-CBN, as well as the forging of co-management deals with various independent managers, among others, have made it possible to welcome some of the network’s most reliable actors, reality-show alumni, and promising new faces under its fold.
MY friends know that I’m a mama’s boy. She played a big role in my life.
If you haven’t met Bianca Gonzalez and get to meet her for the first time, you would think she’s a shy, unassuming timid girl. Well, it’s kind of true as Bianca is indeed quiet—but she’s more of the silent but deadly type. Because when she’s at work and when the lights hit her and the director shouts, “Action!” Bianca is a woman transformed. She shows her gregarious, witty and brilliant side in a charming way that just captivates you.
SOME may dismiss the new ABS-CBN youth-oriented show He’s Into Her as nothing more than a guilty pleasure. After all, it’s not like Clueless, which was a reboot of Jane Austen’s Emma; nor Gossip Girl that has shades of The Great Gatsby with its elements of youth and the angst of wealthy people. In fact, the base material is a Precious Pages-LIB novel bearing the same name that will probably never be nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.
IF there is one thing the TV series Almost Paradise is, it is that it started out as a thrilling show, and it will end as a thrilling show. Starring American actor Christian Kane (of The Librarians fame) and a slew of talented Filipino actors, the show follows the story of former United States DEA agent Alex Walker as he goes into retirement in the Philippines but finds himself entangled in dark criminal elements.
Imagine yourself trapped with a few people. For two weeks or even more. You can’t go out and the only people you can physically interact with are those people trapped with you too.
AT first glance, ABS-CBN’s latest offering Init sa Magdamag can easily be dismissed as a sexy drama. First of all is its title that implies heat and passion. It doesn’t help that the trailer, which hit 12 million views after barely two weeks since its release, features a lot of titillating scenes, most notable of which is Gerald Anderson in his tighty whities. Plus the fact that Gerald and other lead stars JM de Guzman and Yam Concepcion are also known to be daring actors.
HIS good looks and irresistible charm started winning scores of fans for Paulo Angeles when he entered showbiz as a member of It’s Showtime’s Hashtags. Later on, the ultimate charmer even gained more followers when he ventured into acting.

NO matter what I write about Zack Snyder’s Justice League, I know that nothing has stopped or will stop you from watching the four-hour reimagining of the much-maligned superhero extravaganza that was originally released years ago. So instead of posting a review, I’d just write about the differences of the Snyder cut against the original release.
THE most popular young stars today—Seth Fedelin, Kyle Echarri, Francine Diaz and Andrea Brillantes, collectively known as The Gold Squad—are back on television.

Home was the most recurring word during the contract renewal of ABS-CBN talents Maymay Entrata, Edward Barber, Francine Diaz, Donny Pangilinan and Gary Valenciano. For them, continuing to be with the network is but natural as they continue to call it their home.
Mary Jay of ABS-CBN’s newly launched MOR Entertainment is a lovely lady. She is also a bubbly young woman who always engages in positive conversations in Good Time, ’To!, a daily talk show she hosts with Ateng Jeri B, Bong Bastic and Macky Kho. Besides discussing the news, daily trends in lifestyle and showbiz, they even conduct fun games and play feel good music.
SOFT rock as genre of music is usually scoffed at. Music critics, especially the young ones, blast soft rock as too commercialized, too formulaic and, uhm, too soft.
TWENTY-TWENTY was such a chaotic year but a lot of people have found peace and escapism via the so-called BL or Boys Love shows.
BGYO (pronounced phonetically like an acronym) is a boy band composed of five strapping boys. They’re dressed impeccably with flawless skin and coiffed hair. Comparisons to K-pop bands BTS, Big Bang, Exo and Superjunior are inevitable but make no mistake: the BGYO boys aren’t apologizing for emulating them. In fact, they would like to be them—filling up stadiums and placing in music countdown charts all over the world.
Regine Velasquez is one true diva—and by “diva,” I mean she’s a talented singer who can command an entire nation just by sustaining one high note.
BECAUSE of a meeting, I missed the media conference of Hoy, Love You!, iWantTFC’s newest series that can be streamed starting January 18.
