“Finally, the title Superstar has transcended to a higher level with the image of Nora Aunor on the current cover of a popular show biz magazine,” observes Renz Sevilla, photographer: “Kudos for capturing the essence of the iconic but often misunderstood actress.
“Some say that Nora was ill-advised for posing with a cigarette in hand. Since when has such a pose been a crime?
“To suggest that, in order to be popular again, she should be wholesome is a form of censorship. Robin Padilla became popular for his bad-boy image – no one ran to the streets to protest against him. It’s a simple matter of choice.”

Stella Yumul, housewife: “I don’t understand the idea of merging ‘Bandila’ and ‘Showbiz News Ngayon.’ A news program does not need so much entertainment news. ‘The Buzz’ is enough!”
