Refreshing eye-opener

CAYABYAB. His comments are spot-on and devoid of sugar-coating.

EIREEN MARGARET Ngan, housewife: “The AlDub tandem should be celebrated and emulated, because beyond the humor that the talented trio of Wally Bayola, Jose Manalo and Paolo Ballesteros effortlessly injects into the story, the moral values it presents are admirable.

“In the age of social media, ‘Eat Bulaga’s’ ‘kalyeserye’ serves as a refreshing eye-opener. It celebrates good values, teaches respect for the elderly and promotes love of family—and that makes it ‘relatable’ to people from all walks of life.”

Other notes:

Bob Lee, government employee: “Congratulations to the cast of ‘My Faithful Husband,’ which benefits from its competent leads, Dennis Trillo, Mikael Daez and Jennylyn Mercado.”

Scary prosthetics

Minnie Socito, housewife: “The scary prosthetics on ‘Your Face Sounds Familiar’ continue! Can’t the people behind the impersonation tilt see the contestants’ unflattering transformations? Why not hire Paolo Ballesteros to do the job, instead? Oh, but he’s with the rival network, so that’s a big no. Why not retitle the show: ‘Your Face Looks Horrific!?’”

Dennis Lucero, televiewer: “I like the feedback the ‘To The Top’ panel, headed by Ryan Cayabyab, gives its boy-band contestants. They’re spot-on and devoid of sugar-coating. The comments given by judges of other reality searches are often predictable, repetitive, too kind—and thus aren’t helpful to contestants. Televiewers expect them to do better.”
Ryan Miguel Lorenzo, student: “There were good performances turned in by the actors of ‘Heneral Luna,’ led by John Arcilla. But, the actor I was most impressed with was Mon Confiado. I used to dislike him, because of his ‘akting na akting’ style—but, in the historical biopic, Confiado delivered an understated portrayal as Emilio Aguinaldo.”
