MONSOD. Keeps guests on their toes.
LIZA PINERO, housewife: “Daniel Padilla’s mom, Karla Estrada, has never had it so good as far as her show biz career is concerned. She is enjoying her second wind as a performer and TV show host. This proves that age doesn’t matter if you are naturally talented and have the support of your popular son’s followers. Way to go, Karla!”
Other notes:
Edward Ablir, OFW: “Extreme camera close-ups can make or unmake a star. Liza Soberano still looks gorgeous even if she is seen crying on closeup. Jennylyn Mercado is also a camera darling who oozes with sex appeal. I am glad she’s doing more movies now with different leading men. I hope producers cast her in serious, award-worthy projects, because there’s more to her than the rom-com roles she’s become famous for.”
May Corpuz, televiewer: “Hosted by Vicky Morales, ‘The Good News’ is a must-watch for me due to its stories about ordinary people doing acts of kindness. In the show, hope becomes a face-to-face encounter.”
Jed Generoso, businessman: “Winnie Monsod is Barbara Walters, Leila Benitez and Elvira Manahan rolled into one. On ‘Bawal ang Pasaway kay Mareng Winnie,’ she calls a spade a spade. Her intelligence, frankness, sense of humor and perfect command of the topic at hand keep her guests on their toes.”
Jose Mari Maycacayan, marketing consultant: “There were outstanding drama episodes on television recently: The first one is the ‘Picture’ episode on ‘MMK,’ starring Angel Aquino and Valerie Concepcion, about the enduring friendship of an Indonesian and a Filipina. The second is the ‘Lason’ episode on ‘Ipaglaban Mo,’ starring Raymond Bagatsing and Sharmaine Arnaiz, about the brutal killing of a daughter by her father.”
