You’ll really be into this show
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… → Read More
How to enjoy ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’
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.

NOT many people know this but name a Broadway musical and chances are there’s a Filipino in the cast.

Pia continues to bat for LGBTQ+ community
Pia Wurtzbach caught my full attention when she snagged the Binibining Pilipinas Universe title after her third try. Before that, she was just this actress or that model or that beauty queen wannabe. But then she started her journey to win a title in Binibining Pilipinas. She was thrown all… → Read More
Rocking on with Kjwan
WHILE fans of FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano know Marc Abaya as bad guy Jacob Serrano, music fans know him as front-runner of acclaimed rock band Kjwan. As a band, Kjwan transcends music genres. The casual listener may classify them as a rock band but watching them perform live, it would be… → Read More
Angel & Jennylyn’s surprising sisterhood
A FEW years ago, Angel Locsin and Jennylyn Mercado couldn’t even breathe the same air. The two ingenues, who were supposed to be good friends since they used to share the same home network and even talent agent (Becky Aguila), had a “feud” over Luis Manzano. In case you’ve forgotten,… → Read More

Rediscovering music
MY column for this week is about music. My love for music is something I have rediscovered, thanks to the lockdown.

But now, with more hours of nothing to do, I willed […] → Read More
A word on that ABS-CBN petition
