Fun romp

PANGANIBAN. Versatility personified.

PANGANIBAN. Versatility personified.

Phil Aucejo, researcher: “Angelica Panganiban demonstrates her expertise at drama and comedy in ‘That Thing Called Tadhana’—it’s a fun romp that is guaranteed to relieve viewers’ stress! She is versatility personified.”

Other notes:

Agnes Shari Tan, televiewer: “My favorite after-dinner entertainment is ‘Forevermore,’ whose love story angle is garnished with issues of land disputes, greed and the gap between the rich and the poor. The psychological problems of some characters aren’t properly addressed, but I like the way the show dramatizes the disputes between the haves and have-nots.”

Good reviews

Anthony Jimenez, student: “Gladys Reyes has outgrown her being typecast in kontrabida roles. She was effective in ‘Barber’s Tales,’ and ‘Magkakabaung.’”

Evelyn Perez, housewife: “Jason Gainza’s Boy Abunda impression is a hit—and he’s even more effective when he’s with Angelica Panganiban, who’s superb as the outrageous Krissy. Why doesn’t Jason try other impressions, the way Michael V does, to prove his versatility?”

Chiqui Mendez, employee: “I agree with an item that appeared in this section praising Judy Ann Santos’ hosting job on ‘Bet On Your Baby.’ I’ve been watching her show and like her natural hosting style, as well as the kids’ antics. Children are natural scene-stealers, and Judy Ann is perfect for this hosting gig.”
