			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks for my readers for giving me a headache. I got so many email responses and here are the results.</p>
<p><strong>Top 20</strong></p>
<p>20. <strong>Anna Dizon</strong>. This commercial model is one of the hottest properties in Japan right now. She&#8217;s a Filipina, with French and Japanese blood. She was involved in a controversy late last year.</p>
<p>19. <strong>Angelica Panganiban</strong>. Angelic face with a body that&#8217;s sure to die for. And, what&#8217;s best&#8212;she has brains. She&#8217;s now the girlfriend of another actor so you guys out there, check na lang others in this list.</p>
<p>18. <strong>Atty. Katrina Legarda</strong>. Well, I think those members of UP Law Batch 80 were the ones who voted for Atty. Katrina Legarda and for some good reasons. She&#8217;s lovely. She&#8217;s very intelligent. And, what&#8217;s very nice about her, she pursues women&#8217;s and human rights issues. Sexy? You bet!</p>
<p>17. <strong>Bea Alonso</strong>. Betty La Fea in the list? Of course! Beauty, brains and having that sophisticated bearing&#8211;those values define Bea Alonso. One thing though, she needs to be very cautious in choosing whom to be with. Bea is a beautiful young lady. She&#8217;s also strong mentally and emotionally.</p>
<p>16. <strong>Lea Salonga</strong>. What can I say? Despite being a mom to an intelligent kid, Lea retained the fine qualities that endeared her to the hearts of the Filipino since she first started singing at That&#8217;s Entertainment.</p>
<p>15. <strong>Diana Zubiri</strong>. The perennial hit lister since she first started in showbiz. For those who don&#8217;t know, Diana is not just your average bombshell. No. Her rags-to-riches story is an inspiration.</p>
<p>14. <strong>Loren Legarda</strong>. Notice those checkbones? That sparkling smile? Those pinkish skin? That hair, always neatly combed and styled even if she&#8217;s in the heat of the campaign and pumping those calloused hands? She&#8217;s intelligent (magna cum laude in UP and summa cum laude in the National Defense College). Her heart is in the right place, but unfortunately, many people do not favor another female president after this disastrous reign by the pretender.</p>
<p>13. <strong>Mrs. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo</strong>. Surprising? Yes! Some sender said that Mrs. Arroyo is actually sexy. She always smiles. Her eyes sparkle (maybe because she stands to inherit billions after 2010? Just joking!) and she wears fashionable clothes that shows power and elegance. Power is sexy? You bet!</p>
<p>12. <strong>Pia Hontiveros</strong>. Strictly politics? Nah. Pia has another show which tackles shopping. Pia has six kids already, a lovely and dutiful wife to a member of the AFP. Pia is also a highly respected journalist.</p>
<p>11. <strong>Pinky Webb</strong>. Many Pinoys pray that Pia decides muna to stay single. She&#8217;s engaged with Edu Manzano and there are rumours that they&#8217;ll tying the knot very soon. Somebody please go to the church and say &#8221; we oppose!&#8221;. Hahaha. Just joking.</p>
<p>10. <strong>Rhea Santos</strong>. Host of GMA channel 7 shows, a highly respected journalist of such fine calibre and a loving wife to her husband.</p>
<p>9. <strong>Gretchen Malalad</strong>. Now, the debate has been settled. Gretchen Malalad is one fine lady. She has this very natural look and her eyes are kinda lovely. But, don&#8217;t get misled. Grethen is both a certified beauty queen and a martial artist who&#8217;ll make mince meat out of anybody who gets in her way. Remember Paul Alvarez? </p>
<p>8. <strong>Wendy Puyat</strong>. Socialite. Gracious host. Sexy in a very distinct way. Friendly. Highly rated.</p>
<p>7. <strong>Sarah Geronimo</strong>. Sarah is an enigma. Some say she&#8217;s not quite lovely and others even say, her beauty is what they call &#8220;barriotic.&#8221; Others say, she has magnetic personality.One thing for sure&#8212;Sarah has this &#8220;x&#8221; factor, the one lacking to other Filipina beauties out there. She sings beautifully. She wears clothes in a kinda sexy way but is not lewd nor loud. Great that she&#8217;s in the list.</p>
<p>6<strong>. Kris Aquino</strong>. She&#8217;s already a mother but Kris Aquino remains one of the hottest and the sexiest Pinays around. She has a fine political and wealthy pedigree. In the first weeks, Kris was tops. But, as they say, you&#8217;re only good the last time you appeared.</p>
<p>5. <strong>Gretchen Fullido</strong>. She&#8217;s the prime example of a sexy and beautiful Pinay. Just look at her. Many people say she&#8217;s yummy. Many say, she&#8217;s not. But, hey, I don&#8217;t want to be prude and say that she&#8217;s not hot. She is. Best of all, she has brains which a lot of people out there don&#8217;t have. And guts. Tons of them.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Katrina Halili.</strong> What can I say except that it&#8217;s not only Dr. Hayden Kho who considers Katrina as not just hot and sexy but a lovely and cuddly Pinay.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Vicki Belo</strong>. This fiftish (or is it <em>fortyish</em>) lady remains very delectable especially to young, and hot-blooded Filipino males. She has been very controversial lately but managed to stay fresh, beautiful and sexy. A fine Filipina.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Krista Ranillo</strong>. The daughter of Matt Ranillo, 80&#8217;s matinee idol, is the talk of the town. This 21 year old Atenean is not just beauty&#8212;she&#8217;s also brains. She&#8217;s into a lot of showbiz activities now, doing a film and making all those shows. She&#8217;s the March cover of MAXIM Philippines. She&#8217;s not just immaculately beautiful&#8212;she&#8217;s also very, very photogenic. I expect a lot from her. What&#8217;s her secret? Maybe going to that lifestyle salon in Libis. Krizalis beauty salon, is that it, huh, Krista?</p>
<p>1. <strong>Marian Rivera</strong>. Wow, what can I say, except, scorchingly, erotically, intelligently, sexy. Look for that very controversial nipple slip ala Janet Jackson. I think my Ding Gagelonia has a copy. <img src='http://pinoyobserver.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I read the latest ratings survey and it shows GMA 7 receiving the lowest ratings ever. That&#8217;s not surprising. Its expected. ABS-CBN 2 is at its strongest state ever. Why?</p>
<p>First, GMA 7 shows are fantasies. Second, there&#8217;s a perception that GMA 7 is allied with the administration. And third, admit it, people don&#8217;t like their stations manipulating their ratings just to show they&#8217;re at least putting up a fight.</p>
<p>Imagine your resident mermaid acting like a prima donna. I mean, yes, it&#8217;s lovely to see Marian Rivera fighting for her rights as a private person but hey, that controversial scene shows her during a shoot, and in broad public daylight. What&#8217;s so private about it? If you&#8217;re a celebrity, you are public property. You don&#8217;t own yourself especially if you&#8217;re out there shooting those fake,err, damn scenes.</p>
<p>By the way, I commend Sharon Cuneta for her role as a Caregiver in that Chito Rono film. I really hope that Sharon starts doing all these socially relevant films to aid in increasing enlightenment and awareness in all of us on what&#8217;s happening. Films are great tools for enlightenment. And Sharon is a very good thespian.</p>
<p>Let me give some kudos to ABS-CBN 2 TV Patrol. That new station ID is really commendable. Pempengco&#8217;s voice is something to be extra proud of to be heard. I mean, I got goose bumps just listening to her wonderful voice. Her song is just inspiring.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Check out Dyesebel&#8217;s tantrums at YouTube. Sweet and beautiful Marian Rivera&#8217;s &#8220;dark side&#8221; exposed. Her publicist quickly issued a statement, saying that Marian was piqued by the way a fan conducted himself during a shoot of her drama series.</p>
<p>I watched that clip, shot on cellphone camera, and found nothing wrong with it. It&#8217;s pretty natural for a sweet little thing like Marian to lose her composure. I&#8217;m pretty sure that the beautiful ladies of ABS-CBN like Kristine Hermosa also lose their tempers when faced with an obnoxious male fan.</p>
<p>In fact, that scene endears Marian more to the public than, say, showing her smiling all the time. That&#8217;s what&#8217;s wrong with how GMA 7 handles their wards. GMA&#8217;s talent center wants them to show faces, not character. There&#8217;s always something suspicious with GMA talents.</p>
<p>For example, that young newbie Iwa Moto. Everybody knows that she reportedly struggled with prohibited substances before and everyone knows that she&#8217;s one of those &#8220;bratties&#8221; who always had a brush with the law. Yet, GMA 7 tried to hide it from the public&#8217;s eye. That&#8217;s the problem.</p>
<p>Probably GMA&#8217;s talent center wants their wards to look like ABS-CBN talents. Try to compare GMA7 talents with that of ABS-CBN 2 and you&#8217;ll notice that ABS-CBN talents are all gloss. GMA 7 thinks that it&#8217;s because of effective propaganda. Actually, it&#8217;s not.</p>
<p>ABS-CBN talents look regale because they&#8217;re trained like Sampaguita stars of the 50&#8217;s and 60&#8217;s. They know how to conduct themselves in public without looking fake. It takes years of work before an ABS-CBN talent achieves the &#8220;Sampaguita&#8221; look, which, GMA 7 misinterprets as something very easy to do.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the secret of ABS-CBN talents? The network tries to always show their &#8220;best attributes&#8221; instead of creating for them another persona. That&#8217;s why when they&#8217;re cast in a show, the people immediately connect with them because the people see that their &#8220;attributes&#8221; jibe with their characters.</p>
<p>For GMA 7 though, stars are always miscast. For example, Katrina Halili was always positioned as a contrabida because she has aquiline features (strong chin and nose, etc.). When you meet Katrina, however, she&#8217;s a paragon of poise and beauty, fit for a stellar role. Also, try to watch every GMA 7 tearjerker and you&#8217;ll notice that all the main stars are Spanish beauties. Those who &#8220;oppress&#8221; them look like Filipinas. Is&#8217;nt it ironic?</p>
<p>I think the reason why Marian Rivera pales in comparison with other ABS-CBN 2 stars is the fact that she&#8217;s always miscast. I know she&#8217;s beautiful. I know she&#8217;s white. But, there&#8217;s something always lacking in her, because her network always fail to show her true colors.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s nothing wrong with a strong-willed lady like Marian. In fact, men like myself, love our women that way. Is&#8217;nt nice to have a girlfriend or a wife such as Marian, who&#8217;ll fight her battles herself instead of just succumbing to one corner and cry?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I heard that Katrina Halili is now being slapped and cussed around this time in an afternoon tearjerker over at GMA 7. Great decision, Kapuso! If there&#8217;s one that can give Angel Locsin etal a run for their money, it&#8217;s Katrina Halili. I have been hearing lots of great and wonderful stuff about this girl. Some of my advertising friends say she&#8217;s really a sweetheart in real life. She&#8217;s humble and easy to talk with. I have&#8217;nt had the pleasure of meeting this sweet young thing but I believe she&#8217;s not a lobo, totally different from Angel Locsin.</p>
<p>Heard that Lobo&#8217;s getting some dismal ratings, to the consternation of ABS-CBN management. Is that the reason why Angel is again on the baring rampage? She&#8217;s a cover girl again, showing her big tits once more and long neck. Well, I don&#8217;t know with you, but I&#8217;m not the least affected.</p>
<p>Marian Rivera&#8217;s show, meanwhile, is not getting the right heat this time. The reason is simple&#8211;Marian is just a teaser. Yes, she is. Also, the way she dances is a total downer. As a heterosexual, I am not at all pleased with the way she gyrates on television. She&#8217;s not long-legged. Also, there&#8217;s something lacking in her, possibly the x-factor? Yes, she&#8217;s pretty. But, she&#8217;s not a ravishing beauty.</p>
<p>Talk about beauty&#8211;over at the Kapamilya station&#8211;there&#8217;s a bevy of pokpok beauties. From morning til late evening, we are being terrorized by ladies with big tits and obviously, pokpok faces. Enough with this. If this is the way ABS-CBN entertains, this also shows you how the Lopezes really treats us&#8211;they treat us like we&#8217;re your average kanto boy ogling at those naked ladies over at strip joints.</p>
