Sentimental decision
LA TORRE. Should stage a comeback.
Alex Delos Santos: “Show biz is a tightly knit family. On ‘Your Face Sounds Familiar,’ for example, the ‘win’ of Maxene Magalona, who impersonated her dad, hip-hop icon Francis M, was clearly a sentimental decision. More impartially, it should have been Melai Cantiveros’ Rihanna, Nyoy Volante’s Sylvia La Torre or Edgar Allan Guzman’s Ed Sheeran.”
Other notes:
Gina Blay, housewife: “Lately, I’ve been seeing on YouTube that my idol, Sylvia La Torre, has been doing some special shows for fund-raising. I hope she stages a comeback concert in the Philippines soon, because she is sorely missed! At 82, she’s still classy and lovable. Like vintage wine, she just keeps getting better with age!”
Serious roles
Marla Doble, televiewer: “I never thought that Zanjoe Marudo could effectively tackle serious roles, like the character he played on ‘Dream Dad.’ I thought he was just one of those hunky male actors. He’ll stay long in the biz if he plays his cards right.”
Marlene Tiu, teacher: “There’s no doubt that Ryzza Mae Dizon is an adorable host. But, one thing that bothers me is her penchant for interrupting her guests—especially when they’re singing! She makes side comments or sings with them, which is fine if she can carry a tune.”
