ZENDEE Rose Tenerefe
“I was a little bit of both. I tried to be nice for the holidays. I bought gifts for my two younger sisters. I made sure to give them what they wanted for Christmas. I was also naughty because I didn’t help my mom fix our Christmas tree at home, but that was because I was busy reading the scripts of my show (‘Enchanted Garden’).”

“I was nice, kasi kasama ko po lagi ang mommy ko at nagtatrabaho na po ako para sa pamilya ko.”

“I was nice! Naiba ko ’yung mga usual na ginagawa ko nung mga nakaraang taon. Andiyan na ang pagbabago ng personality. Kung mapapansin ’nyo, nagko-coat na ako ngayon, ’di na ako mukhang tambay! Nagbibida na rin ako sa mga indie films kahit papaano. From the usual typecast roles na kontrabida, ngayon gumagawa na ako ng mababait [na roles].”

“A health scare in the middle of last year forced me to cling to Jesus and whip whatever naughty was left in me into nice. We can always count on the Lord to turn dire circumstances into hope and promise.”

“I was a good boy last year. I made sure that, in all my dealings with others, I didn’t offend or hurt anyone. I’m new in show biz so I try to be professional always. I was always on time, I don’t have vices; I only need to diet. I want to trim down a bit.”

“I’m always a good boy. Everything I do, I make sure I’m doing it right. Now that I’m in show biz, I want to do well as an actor. I try to be nice to all the people I meet. I have to grow up and forget my childish ways. I have to be more responsible.”

“I think 2012 talaga ’yung year na naging naughty ako, pero not because of promiscuity! Naughty in a way na ngayon talaga ako nagwala pagdating sa hosting at performing. Talagang na-express ko ang sarili ko.”

“I was very nice last year. Now, I understand what my manager (Noel Ferrer) meant when he told me to focus and set goals. I’m thankful for all the blessings. I won Golden Screen (for ‘Ligo na U, Lapit na Me’) and Aliw (for ‘Bona’) awards and I got to work with and learn from Nora Aunor and Eugene Domingo. I hope to do more significant movies and TV shows. Maybe, I can also learn to play an instrument and go back to sports. I also dream o

“It was a transition year for me, but I remained extra nice. I moved to ABS-CBN. After doing ‘Maalaala Mo Kaya’ episodes, my soap ‘Kahit Puso’y Masugatan’ got extended until February. I am happy that I finally got to do a Cinemalaya film (Jose Javier Reyes’ ‘Mga Mumunting Lihim’), which won best actress for Judy Ann Santos, Agot Isidro, Janice de Belen and myself. I got a hosting award from Aliw, too. I look forward to hosting ‘The Biggest Loser, Couples Edition’ and share my own weight struggles with other people.”

“I was both; I’m naturally sweet and naughty. I did so many nice and naughty things last year that I simply lost count!”

“I was naughty and nice! You can’t be nice all the time or naughty all the time. You have to find the right balance—that’s how you live life. I was nice because I was able to focus on career, do films and TV shows. As for the naughty part, I guess I have to keep that to myself!”

“I was definitely nice. The past year was a really wonderful experience. Nicest thing I did was getting into sports, such as triathlon and duathlon. Joining races, especially the first few times, was very memorable for me.”

“I find it too boring if one is always nice, so I guess I’m a mixture of naughty and nice. I don’t think I was bad this past year. I’ve always worked on being a good person. I’ve been nice as a daughter because every day, I make it a point to let my parents know how much I love and care for them. At their age, they really want me to always be around. My relationship with them and my brother has greatly improved. Right now, I have nothing more to ask for.”
JC de Vera
Actor
“I was nice in 2012. I avoided intrigues and focused mostly on work. If I was not busy with tapings (for ‘Lokomoko U’ and ‘Enchanted Garden’), I spent time with my family. I had no time to be naughty. That’s why I had no major problems this year.”
