CONCEPCION. Attractive, charming and intelligent.
Thelma Caraga, professor: “One of the standouts on ‘X Factor Philippines’ was host KC Concepcion. She had chemistry with the contestants, the judges and the audience. In addition, she was attractive, charming and intelligent—and compassionate to the losers. KC’s unique personality really shone through!”

Jocel Arias, televiewer: “Maxene Magalona’s performance has improved a lot, as she proves in the teleserye, ‘Faithfully.’ Initially, her character was lame and cash-strapped. Then, she got wealthy and started getting back at her detractors.
“Sadly, she continues to make stupid decisions that put her and her family in trouble! It’s tiring to see a character fail all the time. I hope the show’s writers will come up with better scripts!”
Merlita Pancho, housewife: “I cringe at the sight of female stars passing themselves off as men with a minimum effort to look and act macho. I remember Regine Velasquez and, later, Iza Calzado in a teleserye. Yes, they approximated how men move, but their looks were something else. A hair piece, a cap and a moustache weren’t enough to hide their feminine features! The situation got sillier when their leading man couldn’t distinguish the ‘failed’ transformation.
“These thoughts came to mind when I saw a teaser of ‘Coffee Prince,’ featuring Kris Bernal portraying a similar role. I hope the people behind the show will exert extra effort to really make her look like a man!”
