Retrospective for Gloria Romero

Darlene Macatangay, housewife: “Gloria Romero is truly worthy of the title, Queen of Philippine movies, because she is regal in every sense of the word. While she is still active in the biz, I hope the entertainment industry can organize a retrospective of her best and most popular films. The young generation of actors and moviegoers can learn from her, especially where acting, work ethics and social graces are concerned.”

ROMERO. Young actors and moviegoers can learn from her.

Other notes:

Patricia Albano, televiewer: “Local television will never be the same without German Moreno aka Kuya Germs, who’s currently recuperating in a hospital. Let’s pray for Kuya Germs’ quick recovery, so we can once again hear him say, “Walang tulugan!”

Dennis Abdao, teacher: “I’ve been Charice’s avid follower since she competed on ‘Little Big Star,’ where she should have been declared the big winner. I was very happy when she became an international singing sensation (via “Pyramid,”), albeit fleetingly.

“Unfortunately, it had been a downward spiral for her show biz career after that, especially after she came out as a lesbian.

“She is in the news again these days, because of her latest ‘manly’ photos—a nonissue for me, because I’ve long accepted who and what she is. My wish is for people to be tolerant and accepting—and for Charice to focus more on her God-given talent!”
