Despite her wholesome and squeaky clean image Sarah Geronimo chooses to portray - that didn’t stopped Bench management to see something in her worthy to be one of their rooster of famous image models.
I always admire Sarah’s fashion sense, although sometimes I wish she could be more sexy and daring but Sarah really thinks she doesn’t have the body to flaunt. 
Pinay’s Pride
Last year, Cherry Pie Picache won her first Durban International Film Festival Best Actress award in her role as a lesbian tricycle driver in Caleldo.
This year Ms. Picache, a Pinay Actress impressed foreigners again for the 2nd time around in her much commended portrayal as a woman who is temporarily taking care of children about to be adopted in the film Foster Child.
Durban IFF is yearly done in South Africa with more than 20 films competing from all over the world.
These are the just three of the ladies in Philippine Entertainment that I most admired, not only for their beauty and talent but as well as for their Pinay Girl Power as a whole. Come high water but still they are able to stand with heads up high despite of all the adversities and controversies in their life. Aim High Pinay!

Do you think it’s good for Sarah Genonimo to be constantly compared with Sharon Cuneta and Regine Velasquez?
One of my most admired Pinay Singer is Sarah Geronimo, I first remembered my sister insisting we watch the finals of the Star for the Night were Sarah was hailed as the Champion, from then on up to the time she was launched as a new Kapamilya star… she had indeed became the most loved Pinay Entertainer.
Now on her debut film where John Lloyd is her leading man, despite the protest of the Bea-John LLoyd tandem, many are expecting that these would mark the start of a good future where Sarah would be known not only as a singer but as an actress…
To heck with Madam Auring’s prediction that Sarah would loose her fame in favor of some internationally acclaimed Pinay Singer this 2008.
If her 1st movie would be a success, it would just again certify that Sarah is following the footsteps once thread by our Songbird Regine Velasquez…
Its either some would raise their eyebrows or just be happy to see someone succeeding in her life… anyway I don’t see anything wrong if Sarah is always being tasked to make an adaptation to works once popularized by Sharon Cuneta and Regine Velasquez.
Sarah Geronimo
Sarah Asher Geronimo was born on July 25, 1988 to Father Delfin Geronimo, a retired PLDT employee, and mother Divina, who used to run a beauty parlor in their house at Sta. Cruz, Manila. Sarah is the third of four children with siblings Johna Rizzie, Sunshine Grace, and Ezekiel Gabriel.
Sarah’s first music lessons came from her father. He would have her practice everyday to develop her singing prowess. Sarah first sang on stage at age two at a mall show. Sarah sang “Pasko Na Naman” with Pinky Marquez and Richard Reynoso. At four years old, mother Divine would accompany her to auditions for different TV programs. Sarah became part of kiddie shows Pen-pen de Sarapen (4-6 years old), Ang TV (7-8 years old), and NEXT (8-9 years old). In between auditions, Sarah would perform at shopping malls and hotel lounges. She was one of the performers during the 1995 visit of Pope John Paul II. Sarah at an early age joined hosts of different singing contests the first of which was Tuklas Talino sponsored by the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT).
Star For A Night hosted by Ms. Regine Velasquez was arguably the singing contest that catapulted Sarah to stardom. On March 1, 2003, at age fourteen Sarah emerged as the grand prize winner of the said singing competition with her rendition of the song “To Love
You More.” She won P 1 million and a managerial contract at Viva Artist Agency. The prize money was spent on tuition fees and the operation of her eldest sister.After this turning point what followed are albums, concerts, her own soap opera, a mainstay at ASAP (a Sunday variety show), supporting roles in movies, endorsements, and legions of fans. She became a popstar, a teen princess, a role model.
Sarah paved the way for the next generation champion singers. They are Mark Bautista, Rachelle Ann Go, Raymond Manalo, Erik Santos, Sheryn Regis, Christian Bautista, Frenchie Dy, Jerome Sala, and more still competing. At ASAP, champion singers show off their
winning form at Champions Showdown.When not busy being a popstar, Sarah spends time with her family, they go to Sunday mass. Sarah enjoys reading J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter, and plays video games.
Farewell to 55 year old Rudy Fernandez, one of the most talented actor in the Philippine entertainment industry. His long battle with peri-ampullary cancer ended today June 7, 2008 Saturday at 6:15 in the morning.
Lorna Tolentino, his wife is also a pinay actress and they are among the most beautiful and respected showbiz couple in the Philippines. His remain is in Heritage Park Taguig City.
Mariel Rodriguez is one of the most beautiful faced personality in the entertainment industry. She is also a successful TV host and model.
Mariel Rodriguez have already been involved in several controversies before, especially during her stint as PBB Celebrity Edition Special Housemate. Her real “kikay” and “maarte” personality was revealed but still we learned to love her as what she is because she is not pretending to be anything else.
She is one Pinay actress notable for her sensibility, beauty and brains. And the recent issue about her committing abortion during their Wowowee show in Hawaii is just a little too much to believe that Mariel is capable of such action. Mariel Rodriguez and hunky model-actor Zanjoe Marudo have long been rumored to be romantically involved but are still not confirming it.
We wonder when could Mariel possibly schedule the alleged abortion if everyday she is very much visible and busy in her shows in Wowowee and Uber. As well as when they were in Hawaii.

While waiting for the petition of her husband, Sharon takes a course in caregiving. When she gets to London, she immediately finds work as a caregiver. Conflict and trouble arise for Sharon and John while they are in London and they realize that life in a foreign country is not for them.
It also coincides with Sharon’s 20th anniversary with ABS-CBN as a true blue Kapamilya.

“Pinay My Girl” Starting May 26, PBB Teen Edition Big Winner Kim Chiu plays the role of the Pinay My Girl, ABS-CBN’s first drama franchise to be aired before Betty La Fea where Bea Alonzo was chosen to be the lead star.
Now Kim Chui plays the Pinay my Girl with Gerald Anderson!
They are so fun and very nice acting with kim… cheers…
Whatever the reason maybe, it did rocked Marian sweet sweet image…
But who are we to judge anyway, coming straight from Marian Rivera’s mouth, she had all the right to defend herself when respect between individuals is in question, Her “katarayan” only proves that she is indeed a true blue Batangueña.
She had to stand for her right of privacy, when it was already made clear to that controversial male fan of him that he is not allowed to take pictures or videos during that time.
But just some thoughts to contemplate,
why is she directly the one who have to argue, isn’t it the job of the staffs, P.A.’s and securities personnels to keep things in order?
Was the situation really that bad for her to go to that extent of behaviour?
Since it happened more than a month ago, when her fame is not yet at its highest level, is it a justification that “hindi pa lumalaki ulo nya”?
Peace friends…

Gina Pareño has already received countless recognition in her acting, specially in her second comeback to the industry these past decade..starting with her comeback movie Magic Temple (1996). This Pinay is also a favorite cast of Judy Ann Santos movies or teleseryes. Personally, I enjoy watching Gina Pareño portraying any roles, may it be comedy or best in drama. She is one of the best pinay actress that have been able to make a succesful comeback in the industry. More awards are yet to come for this briliant Pinay Actress..
