Kathryn Bernardo
AMID all the controversy surrounding Philippine love teams and artists’ growth, Filipino netizens on Twitter are admiring Kathryn for her classy and professional way of saying that she needs growth as an artist. Outside her love team with real-life partner, Daniel Padilla, Kathryn is her own person who has proven much in the entertainment industry. Her upcoming movie is a testament as to how much she grew after she stood up for herself by acknowledging what she needs in her craft.
Boobay
ENTERTAINERS have a lot on their plates, but as the popular saying goes, “Health is wealth.” During a live interview with Boy Abunda, Boobay was in a daze before being able to continue, explaining that his previous health issues caused him to “hang.” The best thing he could do when it happens is to stay still until he returns to normal. It’s also something we can consider when we’re overwhelmed with life – to just relax until we get back on our feet.

Liza Soberano
BESIDES going on international podcasts to share her story as a child actor and the benefits it brought her, Liza has been reportedly cast in Hollywood films. Yet the fervent applause Liza received before quieted down as eager eyes focused on her next move that will show just how much she has grown as an individual artist. In the meantime, others just hope she learned to not bite the hand that feeds.
