ESANG. Memorable duet with Billy Crawford.
CORINNE Lasola, housewife: “I was saddened when Esang didn’t bag the grand prize on ‘The Voice Kids.’ To her credit, she sang songs that were age-appropriate, and shone even without resorting to birit-style singing. Her ‘Count On Me’ with Billy Crawford was the most memorable. In the other duets, the celebrity performers out-sang their young partners. So, smile, Esang: Your own time to shine will come!”
Other notes:
Teresita Perez, researcher: “If it’s true that the AlDub ‘kalyeserye’ will have a big-screen version, I hope they minimize the slapstick bits and focus instead on telling a good story. It will surely be as big a hit as its TV incarnation, but I hope it also educates as much as it entertains.”
Alex Rodriguez: “Nora Aunor is visible again in a big network like GMA 7. This doesn’t just give her career a boost, it gives young viewers a chance to ‘experience’ top-caliber acting.”
Daniel Saldivar, film enthusiast: “It isn’t often that a historical film is produced locally—so, hats off to the people behind ‘Heneral Luna.’ May their boldness be richly rewarded when the film begins its theatrical run later this month.”
