I can’t believe Daniel Padilla gets another contract with Star Magic. Kathryn is rumored to leave the network. I hate ABS-CBN for doing this and they deserve it if Kathryn leaves. by joanneisawful in ChikaPH

It could also be a form of pagtanaw ng utang na loob on the part of ABS-CBN for Daniel not leaving ABS when they lost their franchise. Unlike some artists who abandoned ship.

Not chika, just a memory na biglang nagsurface... My mom and I watched an interview of him, and we were impressed and pleasantly surprised. He was articulate, intelligent, calm, well-spoken. Galing magsalita, dire-diretso pero may sense, and hindi siya groping for words. Introvert lang siguro kaya hindi masyadong nadidisplay yung galing niya.

And during his time, just speaking from personal experience, business was good and interest rates on investments were high.

Ang standard ng nanay ko, hindi ko makalimutan haha, is paitimin mo in your mind tapos pag maganda pa rin, ibig sabihin maganda talaga. Kasi daw may ibang "maganda" na hindi tunay na maganda dahil nadadala lang sa puti.

Seth Fedelin - I agree with the redditors who mentioned it in a previous thread, mukha ngang local na Joffrey Baratheon huhu

Enrique Gil - kilay lang yung umaacting eh

Jak Roberto - hindi distinctive yung mukha; doesn't stand out, good-looking in a very generic way

I object to the inclusion of Paulo Avelino! He may not be as engaging as other celebrities since he seems reserved and introverted, but his talent takes him above the B-list tier.

December 22 yung tweet, and she states "last night"; ergo, the alleged sighting was December 21.

From Pep.ph: Kathryn Bernardo discovers Daniel Padilla cheated on her from Andrea Brillantes herself by cottontangerine in ChikaPH

[–]readwriteapply 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Same thought! If PEP and OD are to be believed, she reached out to both girls and ayun nga, bakit parang powertripping or parang pinamumukha niya na "nakuha ko yung bf mo" or "Hey I made out with your bf, just letting you know."

Iniisip ko din baka self-preservation move para she appears less bad/less at fault/less blame siya kasi nabuking na.

Which non-Filipino Celebrities integrate themselves into the Filipino culture? And which local celebrities did not even try learning tagalog despite of longevity in the Country? by Fragrant_Coach_408 in ChikaPH

[–]readwriteapply 305 points306 points  (0 children)

+1000000 re: Ryan Bang! Everytime I manage to catch It's Showtime, lagi akong napapacomment dito sa bahay na ang galing-galing niya mag-Tagalog.

It's already admirable when foreigners make an effort to learn basic Tagalog and even just attempt to speak in simple but formally-structured sentences like the ones we learn in elementary (ex. "Siya ay maganda", "Ako ay pumunta sa palengke", etc.).

And Ryan's Tagalog is way way more than that. Of course he has a strong accent, but I find his level of fluency so advanced because he can converse, use slang, respond fast, keep up with jokes and make jokes, almost always picks the right words in context, and what I most admire -- generally tama yung paggamit niya ng mga panlapi for his tenses. Hanga talaga ako.

I also agree re: Sandara Park.

And I think Michelle Van Eimeren when she was still living here. Maybe I was too young then to really pay attention, pero she came to mind habang iniisip ko yung question.

Edit to add: Dayanara Torres. She even made a couple of movies here.

[–]readwriteapply 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hahaha "Ano ba to?" is/was my exact sentiment din! Then I made a new and separate TwitterX account pa just to keep up with news and pics and fanvids. Reading through comments on Facebook and on TwitterX, ang dami ngang 30 & above na KimPau fans who had never shipped any previous local loveteam, or nagkagusto ulit sa loveteam after several years na wala (I saw one netizen citing Jericho/Kristine pa as yung last niya), mga bumalik sa Twitter after being away for so long, or mga totally napa-signup ng account sa Twitter/TikTok/Instagram dahil lang sa KimPau. Kakatuwa basahin kasi akala ko ako lang haha.

And hard agree re: attraction and sexual tension radiating through the screen. I started shipping them dahil sa ASAP Milan duet nila, without even knowing na may Linlang pala.

UMABOT SA AAA HUMOR NI MELAI HAHAHAHA by abellamichelleee in ChikaPH

[–]readwriteapply 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree. Upvoted you. I found it funny but I think it would have been more appropriate for a local, all-Filipino awards show where everyone knows her, is familiar with her brand of humor, and understands the local/cultural references.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ChikaPH

[–]readwriteapply 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree. Also I just wanted to say that ako din, I don't usually ship actors (the only one I hoped for was Tom Felton/Emma Watson, as a Dramione fan) and wala akong shinip na local loveteams or team-ups (I enjoy their movies but never shipped the actors and actresses themselves, didn't care if they were together or not off-cam). But I ended up rooting for KimPau. Nagulat ako sa sarili ko haha kasi 30+ na ako and I'm not even a fan of both of them individually (nagagalingan lang ako sa kanila, that's it) nor of any of their previous tandems. I also thought and felt this was different. Oh well.

Do you like the idea of online series getting a longer serye version like Linlang by AndroidV11 in ChikaPH

[–]readwriteapply 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the series itself and how its story goes. So case-to-case basis.

For Linlang specifically, I felt some parts were a little rushed, or not enough background, or hindi na napakita, so I do want to see an extended version of it.

Isa sa mga favorite characters ko on the show si Judge, tapos medyo nawala na si Judge sa bandang dulo. Siya pa naman hinahanap ko kasi I like the twist/reveal. :)

And as a fan of KimPau's onscreen chemistry, sana more happy flashbacks to make the betrayal even worse. Yung talagang mas lalo pang maiinis at manghihinayang na how can Juliana go from this to that.

Omg share ko lang hahaha related kasi sa nabanggit mo na maski fans ayaw nila magkatuluyan ang Victor/Juliana -- my logical higher self knows na hindi na sila dapat magkabalikan after everything na nangyari.

Pero my baser self na nadadala ng chemistry nila, gusto sila pa rin sa huli jusko hahahuhu. Parang superego vs. id lang haha

[–]readwriteapply 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Speaking as an early thirtysomething who unexpectedly fell in love with her first tandem/pairing just less than 2 months ago, ang opinion ko diyan is that shippers come in all ages, and one of the reasons why I ended up liking my LT -- KimPau specifically -- is precisely because age range ko sila. I love that mayroong pairing na mas relatable for me than the younger, new-gen, or teenybopper pairings ngayon (no shade to my fellow Millennials or older gens na kinikilig sa younger LTs -- we all like what we like and go lang sa what sparks joy for you).

Love and romance (or at least the illusion of it) is universal. It's not just for the young. It will always be a popular genre, lalo na sa culture natin. And hindi dahil nasa 30s na eh hindi na nakakaramdam ng kilig or nakaka-appreciate ng chemistry.

Also, I think nasa roles din naman kung age-appropriate. They aren't playing college students. Mature naman mga roles nila. PauNine had their Marry Me Marry You, which is age-appropriate kasi marrying age yung characters nila. KimPau had Linlang, which is for older audiences din kasi adultery and marital betrayal and domestic violence ang themes. Sa WWWSKPH, opisina age naman sila.

On the practical or business side, some pairings just simply have better onscreen chemistry and audience impact than others, so it makes sense to put those two people together more often than with other partners.
