Candid Superstar

AUNOR. Exceptional portrayals in “Taklub” .

NYDIA MANDAC, televiewer: “It was refreshing to see a different Nora Aunor on ‘Tonight with Arnold Clavio’—a far cry from her usual timid self during interviews. The superstar candidly answered questions, comfortably engaged in lively banter, and even cracked jokes!”

Other notes:

Marina Ruiz, social worker: “There are many lessons to be mined from the recent complaint of an extra against director Cathy Garcia-Molina. One, the power of social media should never be underestimated. Two, it’s all about how people treat their coworkers. Three, talent coordinators should learn to discern real talent. Fourth, the audience is now concerned about a director’s temperament and eccentricities!”

David Zamora, researcher: “I like watching GMA 7’s ‘Juan Tamad’ every Sunday because, aside from eliciting laughter, it teaches viewers an important lesson—that success is possible if we work hard! It doesn’t matter who we are, if we have the will to prosper, nothing is impossible!”

Jon Suasin, student: “There are only a few actresses who look good even in extreme close ups—and Jennylyn Mercado is one of them! I’m glad I watched ‘#Walang Forever,’ where she delivers another heartfelt performance. Even better, her chemistry with Jericho Rosales sizzles. More films for Jennylyn, please!”

Lorna Mendez, dance instructor: “The songs in Erik Matti’s ‘Honor Thy Father’ are noteworthy, especially Dong Abay’s stirring version of ‘Ama Namin’ and Ami Millare’s haunting cover of Sampaguita’s ‘Tao.’”
