ABAD. Acting triumph.
Phil Mangubat, media observer: “What a heartbreaking and emotionally charged ending for ‘Two Wives.’ There were a number of acting triumphs: Kaye Abad acted up a storm, and Tanya Gomez proved that she’s a dependable character actress, a far cry from her sexy image of yore. The two child performers likewise did well. And the scene-stealing Jean Saburit was delightful as a tactless mother-in-law.”
Other notes:
Mackie Eleazar, student: “What’s wrong with ‘Forevermore’s’ scriptwriters? They made the character of Liza Soberano sing in a contest, even if she can’t! And the worst part of all is—she wins! Whom are they fooling?”
Kilometric lines
Buenafe Flores, televiewer: “I wouldn’t be surprised if the male child actor in ‘Two Wives’ wins an acting award. He’s good! He delivers his kilometric lines convincingly.
“I cannot say the same for Erich Gonzales, however. There’s something wrong with the way she delivers her lines. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that she isn’t a native Tagalog speaker.”
Chiselle Joy Isip, housewife: “Ces Drilon should consider hiring a stylist. She is often seen wearing outlandish clothes. And, why are Ces and Karen Davila fond of wearing sleeveless blouses?”
Ariel Yap Reyes, fashion consultant: “The Binibining Pilipinas pageant is a prestigious beauty pageant—and Toni Gonzaga should remember that it isn’t ‘PBB.’ Her manner of hosting, especially during the Q and A, was cheap and irritating.”
