                    [Title] => The difference is Yul
                    [Summary] => Yul Servo’s face seems forever frozen in a smile. He doesn’t talk much, the way you’d expect a showbiz guy like him to. But what he lacks in verbosity, he more than makes up for in the way he observes people with the clarity of a magnifying glass.

                    [Summary] => The world of movies is full of illusion – in front of the camera (especially now with all the modern film technology) and even behind it: Showbiz hopefuls who think they have what it takes to be a big movie star and has-beens who have this illusion that they are still big-name stars. Entertainment writers have a cruel term for it: Ilusyonado.

                    [Summary] => We always greet the initial work of a debuting director with excitement, hoping he will be a new filmmaker who will help save the moribund film industry by coming up with more sensible cinematic fare. One such new director is Cholo Laurel, whom Star Cinema plucked out from anonymity and given the break to meg his first movie, the thriller-romance Nasaan Ka Man. His original script must have been really impressive for Star usually gives such breaks only to homegrown talents who have honed their directing skills in ABS-CBN drama shows.

                    [Summary] => People tend to call it the Philippine showbiz’s version of the Oscars, but the first Luna Awards, held at the Westin Harbor View Tent, is on a class of its own. With the women elegant in their designer best and the men simply dashing in their tuxes, coats and ties, the whole evening was a page taken straight out of the fabulous ‘50s.

                    [Summary] => If John Lloyd Cruz gets all wet today, feast of St. John The Baptist (avoid San Juan if you want to stay dry), he has a very valid reason: He’s turning 21 and he can celebrate by, that’s it, getting wet (maybe in his bathroom which is his favorite part of the house).


John Lloyd has spent seven of those 21 years as member of the ABS-CBN Talent Center (he was 14 when he joined the Star Circle).

"Hindi makapaniwala ang Nanay ko," smiled Yul, his eyes disappearing into mere slits (his trademark). "She was very happy."
