Looking back at 2017, would you fall under Santa Claus’ “naughty” or “nice” list? What would some celebs say if Santa asked them about the nicest and naughtiest things they did this year?
Here goes:

The nicest thing I did was helping people without them knowing who came to their rescue. At my age, it isn’t unlikely for me to have done a lot of naughty things that I can’t or don’t want to remember anymore (laughs).

The nicest thing was to have tried my best to be like Santa, giving gifts no matter how big or small, just to surprise my loved ones. The naughtiest would be, giving silly gifts to the people I care about—like microwavable containers to my stylist, who likes to bring home food from our catering.

Nicest thing: when I served others. Naughtiest thing: when I ate all the chocolates in the fridge without sharing.

The nicest thing I’ve done was to have a house built for my family. And the naughtiest? Santa should ask any of his good-looking elves, because most likely, I’ve chatted with them on Facebook.

Marriage can sometimes be a mirage. Just like the “forced union” of Antonio (Vic Sotto) and Andrea (Dawn Zulueta) in the Metro Manila Film Festival entry, “Meant to Beh.”
Director Chris Martinez shares some funny anecdotes about Vic and Dawn. It was laugh-trip galore for the cast, on and off cam.
Here’s Chris’ recollection: For Bossing and Dawn’s first shooting day, the scene was to show them waking up in the morning as husband and wife.
Bossing joked: Wow. First scene (pa lang), bed scene agad! We all laughed our heads off.
Equally memorable was the last day of the shoot. I can’t tell you the exact details and spoil it for you.
All I can reveal is that it called for extreme physical strength and endurance from both of them.

The awarding of the winners of Tarlac Heritage Foundation’s star-studded “Belenismo” (belen-making contest) event was a celebration of Tarlaqueño’s ingenuity.
Winners include the municipality of Capas, the parishes of St. Francis of Assisi, St. Joseph, Santo Cristo, among others.
Celebrities who graced the occasion included Wally Bayola, Jose Manalo, Jonalyn Viray, Aaron Villaflor and Julie Anne San Jose. Bellisimo belenismo!
PERSONAL: Merci beaucoup to mon miel RG, for making my Christmas more than merry.
