I bet, each and everyone of us has our own favorite local actors and actresses.
For me, I like Kris Aquino . She may be tactless as others would say, but to me she’s just being herself. She’s so transparent, that sometimes I would just laugh at what she says about someone. She’s intelligent and a good host. Despite all her failed relationships, she remains happy and strong.
Last Saturday, at the Price is Right, she asked a male contestant how he feels. When he said “happy naman kahit papano “ , she retorted, “anong kahit papano , e you won PhP125,000.00 na” and chuckled. I find it amusing because it’s true!
I like her, because I could relate to her .

I will admit, I used to loathe Kris Aquino. I found her very egocentric and had the tendency to always include "her" and "her life" into ANY discussion. But that was before. For some reason, I now like the girl and admire her on her resolve to provide a good life for her children...even if it means doing so on her own and without a man by her side. I noticed that the events in her life and with the presidency of her brother...it humbled her in some ways. Plus, my only child (who is diagnosed with slight autism) likes her. So there...just like that...I love her now too! :D

Kris Aquino, might not be my favorite actress but just like you I have grown to like her. When she was younger she used the advantage of her mother's position to get jobs in showbiz. Who can blame her back then, she was young and was just trying to find her niche in showbiz. We have watch her polish her skills as host. True there are some blunders in her life that seems to be kept in private, but that's what she is. This time when her brother is the president she has matured as a person. All the Aquino sisters have made their contribution in making the lives of people better in their own little way.

You've nailed it sister..."matured"...that's the word I was actually thinking of. Kris Aquino has definitely matured, both as a person and as a mother.

With her recent success in movies(Sisterakas), and very successful daily show, i mean who can do it very easily, her guests are really big names and when they start to have a chit-chat its very natural, spontaneous and lots of fun. I like her as a host not really an actress, but a host she is very natural and a genius...also as a game master( how do you call that about her she is a girl?). Right now i like her being so loving to her children, her decision not to have a lovelife(for the moment) and it is true that she does not need a man to make her life complete...for now because we never really know right?

And have you seen the latest interview with Melai? She said that she is so happy that Kris seemed to have her as her favorite.
That being so, when she appreciated vocally, the camera Kris have, Kris said she will give her one also and she did! Wow, such generosity.
Well, i think i would too, when i am as blessed as Kris when it comes to monetary aspect.
Yes, she's so honest to say that for now, she doesn't need a man to complete her life. She still have some hope somehow, because of the word "for now".

I could not understand the dialogue, though i know little bit tagalog
I watch old hindi movies of 70's usually, my favorite actresses are Rekha, Vyajantimala, Ashaparekha, Helen to mention a few..
They have their own way of acting, some thing unique..
Thanks for sharing
Best of luck.

Sorry for that professor.
To interpret " happy naman kahit papano" means "i'm happy in a way" . "anong kahit papano, e may PhP125,000.00 ka na " means " How can you say that, when you have already won P125,000.00."
In our life, we look up to our favorite actresses and actors who made us happy by their good acting. They remind us that we are human after all, capable of admiring others.

i like toni gonzaga and maricel soriano. they simply one good actresses. they could make me laugh so hard but when it's drama, i can get teary eyed the moment they started the scene where they're about to cry.
so i guess they're my favorite from local.

Oh, i love Toni Gonzaga too. She's simple , humble and a very versatile actress. I also love the way she dresses. She carries them so well!

i like Kris Aquino too. she is a very bright person and a wide reader. i agree that there are times that she is tactless but at least she is honest with what she feels. she may not be able to please everyone but i know that she is just trying hard to make a living with her very fabulous lifestyle. i like the way she endorses the products because it is very sincere looking.

I think she chooses her products well. She only endorses those she uses and has proven too. She's too intelligent not to know that.
Have you seen her new commercial - Olay 7 effects? It's very nicely done and its very appropriate for her because she's already slowly aging, but gracefully.

hi:)
Yes I like Ms. Cris Aquino too, I thought most of the time she just being true to herself, she's saying true things about her without pretentions, but the problem is some are already using her words against her too, others always misquote what she said. but I think behind her frankness is a compassionate woman.

yes my friend , i strongly agree with you. She's often misquoted and misunderstood.
But i am happy, that her endorsements are increasing. I saw a new commercial of hers just last evening or the other day. I cannot remember it though now. Maybe if i see it again tonight, it will be well remembered.

Hello Simplyd,
I think personally she would have been a fine and a real Politician to boot only if she didn't choose showbiz and chosen politicsi instead like her brother Noy-noy. frankly, I know she is tacky, but this is what the country needs, but i don't think kris would turn out to be a good politician if she rans now. but her influences and her charisma can really do something for the appealling masses because they idolize her. have a nice day

Yes, her being tacky is one attitude that our country needs.
As she have said in one interview, she might be running as a politician in the near future. Maybe her being close to Jun Jun Binay, is her way of learning the ropes. Maybe she will start by being a mayor of Makati, so she's now going close with Binay.
Let's wait and see.

I am not a fan of Ms. Kris Aquino but I agree that she is a strong woman for she was able to move on in spite being a single mother. She is also intelligent too and she loves to love. It is really hard for a woman like her to have a successful marriage since she has a very strong personality. A man should be stronger than her in terms of personality so that he won't be intimidated.
Although she is tactless sometimes but I know she only speaks her mind.
My favorite actress is Angelina Jolie. I admire her because she may not be married to Brad Pitt but she loves rearing children. Even if she has a famous father, she did her best to be able to be recognized as a good actress. Her acting and stunts are also very impressive. For me she is a unique and exceptional actress.
Thanks for an interesting discussion and for reading this post!

Yes, that's what i like in Kris too. A strong woman and an intelligent one. Her being tactless, is just a way of expressing herself. Others may find that as a negative on her, but i don't.
Angelina Jolie, is my favorite too when it comes to foreign actress. And i love Brad Pitt too, so i am so happy they are a couple. Rearing children that are adopted ones , are really admirable of them! I consider them as good persons !
I am so fascinated of their pictures with their children tagging along .
