Ryzza needs to slow down

DIZON. Need not work so hard.

Lita Delfin, housewife: “Ryzza Mae Dizon looks like she needs to slow down. She’s no longer the bubbly, little darling when she began hosting her eponymous TV show. Her voice has become hoarse, and she constantly gasps for breath after moving around a lot. Seriously, Aling Maliit need not work so hard. After all, she’s still a child!”

Other notes:

Denise Magno, televiewer: “Seeing Charice dressing up as a lady as she sang and danced in a production number on TV recently was a refreshing sight. If she plays her cards right—shying away from negative publicity, like her failed suicide attempt (which wasn’t true, after all), and staying focused on her singing career—she can still bounce back.”

Act of kindness

Leo Ilagan, student: “If Justin Bieber can spread cheer to the survivors of ‘Yolanda’-devastated Tacloban, why don’t we see more local stars doing the same? The Canadian heartthrob didn’t just go there—he sang for them and played basketball with the kids! What he did was an inspiring act of kindness, especially because Christmas is just around the corner.”

Tess Doce-Halili, blogger/photography enthusiast: “I’m not an avid fan of beauty pageants but, of all the Pinoy winners of international tilts this year, I like Miss International Bea Rose Santiago’s answer in the Q&A the most—it was spoken from the heart. She either has a good head on those exquisite shoulders, or a brilliant coach!”

Hector San Andres, businessman: “I’m amazed that Piolo Pascual has been showcased as a singer, together with legends such as Martin Nievera and Lea Salonga. I watched him in a Christmas mall event and the ABS-CBN concert at Araneta Coliseum, and he could hardly carry a tune! There are singers who are innately talented, but Piolo is not one of them—that’s why he banks more on his good looks to compensate.”
