FOURTH IMPACT. Advances to the live rounds of “X-Factor UK.”
Edna Tampac, accountant: “The latest Filipino sensation that’s making us proud is Fourth Impact, the sisters’ group (made up of Almira, Irene, Mylene and Celina Cercado) that recently advanced to ‘The X-Factor UK’s’ live rounds. Here’s hoping that they will finally earn the international recognition they deserve!”
Other notes:
Amelia Paraiso, housewife: “Dawn Zulueta still looks ravishing and lovely, despite her age. She continues to hold her own alongside her younger costars. I’m glad she has gone back to acting, and has reunited with her constant screen partner, Richard Gomez.”
Manner of speaking
Edgar Parong, televiewer: “All right, ‘Ang Probinsiyano’ is based on an FPJ film—but, does Coco Martin really have to approximate Poe’s manner of speaking? It gets in the way of his performance!”
Fely Rivera, retired teacher: “No offense to their leading ladies, but some of our male stars look more ‘beautiful’ than their screen partners these days—like James Reid and Alden Richards. It’s interesting to note that Gabby Concepcion and Christopher de Leon were also more ‘visually’ attractive than their partners in their heyday.”
Chito Mendez, student: “The latest commercial of a fast-food chain featuring the popular AlDub tandem is one of the funniest I’ve seen—because it also features the three ‘kalyeserye’ lolas, portrayed by Wally Bayola, Jose Manalo and Paolo Ballesteros. Hats off to the people behind the well-conceived TVC!”
