Lilet reinvents herself as a character actress.
Linda Catalan, housewife: “With a good number of independent films making waves in film festivals, it’s worth noting that some of them are helmed by women: ‘That Thing Called Tadhana’ by Antoinette Jadaone, ‘Lorna’ by Sigrid Andrea Bernardo and ‘Maratabat’ by Arlyn dela Cruz.
“We hope that they will continue to make worthwhile projects that viewers can patronize. Jadaone has already spread her directorial wings to mainstream cinema. We hope that Bernardo and Dela Cruz will also have their own winning streak!”
Other notes:
Kate Calderon, televiewer: “It’s a great pleasure to watch former teen stars bloom in their ‘mature’ years. One of them is Lilet, who used to be a mainstay on ‘That’s Entertainment.’
“Some years ago, she made a comeback as a sultry singer, but the move was unsuccessful. She has finally reinvented herself as a character actress in ‘Forevermore,’ and she continues to impress viewers with her performance as a swabeng kontrabida!”
Where is Jiro?
Lino Vendiola, teacher: “Whatever happened to my favorite child actor, Jiro Manio? Whenever ‘Magnifico’ is shown on Cinema One, it reminds me of how naturally talented he was as a child actor. Now that he’s older, I want to see him act again!”
Meanne Mijares, events planner: “Once again, GMA 7 has captured the true spirit of the Christmas season through its station ID. It inspires viewers to be a blessing to others, by reaching out to those who are in need. It’s a meaningful way to celebrate the holiday season!”
