Celebrities on YouTube are becoming a new trend, to the fans’ delight.<br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5001W8mW84w" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br />Jolina Magdangal started her YouTube channel, Jolina Network, on her birthday last November, and also announced that baby number two is coming.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />Dr. Vicki Belo and Hayden Kho’s full wedding video has received over 100,000 views on Vicki Belo’s channel.<br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dZImjbYU_4E" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br />Judy Ann Santos has taken on a new but very personal  role with YouTube’s help -- a foodie sharing her culinary skills. In her most-watched video over Judy Ann’s Kitchen, Juday shows how to prepare red velvet ala mode with homemade ice cream and dulce de leche.<br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Aiv6z9F8osA?list=PL0HyGjCLFsLcoPbJEsKxTePuhIY0hZkqX" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br />Celebrities are also bringing out their inner gurus to YouTube to share a life hack or two. Solenn Heussaff dabbles on sharing tips on make-up, cooking and painting, and shares other fun videos that show a different side of her on her self-titled channel Solenn.ph. <br /><br />Bianca Gonzales-Intal, whose channel is inspired by her book “Paano Ba ‘To?,” presents a treasure chest for people who may need an advice or two. In her most-watched video moving on from a breakup with advice from Angelica Panganiban, Bianca has touched thousands of lives who needed to “move on”. According to Bianca, sharing life hacks brings her closer to people. “I think joining YouTube has helped me reach a different kind of audience,” Bianca said. “It’s a big deal for me that people who don't know me personally are willing to open up about their deepest fears and biggest worries.”<br /><br />Michelle Madrigal’s channel, Michelle, has the former Star Circle Quest finalist sharing workout tips for moms to help them get fit and feel good about themselves even without a gym membership.<br /><br />From tips to everyday glimpse, celebrities are also sharing more and more about themselves without scripts and directors.<br /><br />The Ms. Alex Gonzaga channel catches precious spontaneous moments from Alex’s camera, some of them shared with sister Toni. So spontaneous are they that Alex gets surprised to see clips she didn’t remember taking. Alex considers receiving comments like ‘your videos made my day’ and ‘your videos are my stress reliever, thank you’ as one of the best compliments one can get as a celebrity. “I think with YouTube, people get to know me more and feel closer to me because I share what I do outside my showbiz career,”  said Alex.<br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kJeAsJXKIsU" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br />Celebrity moms are also making the most out of YouTube. <br /><br />Andi Manzano’s crazy, fun world with baby Olivia enjoys over 50,000 subscribers on YouTube. Kylie Padilla’s baby Alas Joaquin also get an enormous amount of viewership on YouTube, along with one of the original YouTube tots, the Team Kramer kids. Cheska Garcia-Kramer shared that Team Kramer’s channel make them reachable to audiences, including children. “Sometimes, Scarlett, Kendra, and Gavin get surprised when other children would sit on their laps or join in their playtime. With YouTube, we get to interact with viewers every now and then on the comments section, and it makes them feel that they are a stone’s throw away from us.”<br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/30JBgvCwh5Y" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KHsqMY0qA2M?list=PLeJNb0JkdeOKbFcOfUoNEA5By5yVglnEQ" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br />And while Scarlet Snow Belo is a superstar on YouTube and other social media platforms, mom Vicki reveals she has other uses for YouTube. “I love how YouTube helps me when I look for information, and of course now that I have Scarlet, most of my searches are her favorite cartoons,” she said.<br /><br />From old timers to recently opened channels, different stars are doing their own thing over YouTube. <br /><br />Michael V’s channel, #BitoyStory, is just over a month old with four videos but already his subscribers are more than 100,000 and his views are over a million.<br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y47enAczO_8" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br />Mikael Daez, Xian Lim, Elissee Joson, Kristel Fulgar all have their own channels too, which they started way ahead of the pack, from 2011 to 2015.<br /><br />More and more celebrities are going on YouTube, and for good reason. YouTube is where they can explore their passion apart from showbiz and share them with a wide range of people, and be closer to their fans in a very real and personal way.<br /><br /><b>— The Summit Express</b></div>

‘Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes’ Movie Review: A Well Thought Out Comedy

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><i>*MINOR Spoilers Ahead*</i><br /><br />“Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes” tells the story of two wives trapped in a relationship with their cheating husbands. The premise is quite overused already, but the manner in which the narrative was utilized in a fresh way. Judy Ann Santos and Angelica Panganiban play Cindy and Lianne, who coincidentally meet due to being married to Gary (Joross Gamboa) and Felix (JC De Vera), who apparently were having an affair together. Scorned and betrayed, the women concoct a plan to decipher their plan and potentially derail their planned life together. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMc3BYWCwgQvVmLJ5FYLKBg5YlL7KCWAPNxZL46Z9yrUvdTOni40CFCn2TYFL6KngG_5aSAVQWFSAwzxWPz7VBqOopRnfz4qZoNNRf_fgKFzKWlwqywxTsAHb0V6EZdV8nOxpwhLOsQHUr/s1600/ang-dalawang-mrs-reyes-judy-anne-angelica-panganiban-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Judy Ann Santos as Cindy and Angelica Panganiban as Lianne in ‘Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes’" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="356" data-original-width="754" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMc3BYWCwgQvVmLJ5FYLKBg5YlL7KCWAPNxZL46Z9yrUvdTOni40CFCn2TYFL6KngG_5aSAVQWFSAwzxWPz7VBqOopRnfz4qZoNNRf_fgKFzKWlwqywxTsAHb0V6EZdV8nOxpwhLOsQHUr/s1600/ang-dalawang-mrs-reyes-judy-anne-angelica-panganiban-2.jpg" title="Judy Ann Santos as Cindy and Angelica Panganiban as Lianne in ‘Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes’" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Judy Ann Santos as Cindy and Angelica Panganiban as Lianne in ‘Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes’/Star Cinema</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Filipino showbiz fanatics will surely get a kick with the movie as it also marks the big screen reunion of Mara Clara originals, Santos and Gladys Reyes since they last shared the screen almost two decades ago via the ABS-CBN series, "Sa Puso Ko Iingatan Ka."  Produced by Star Cinema, Quantum Films and IdeaFirst Company, the film is written by Jun Lana and Elmer Gatchalian, while the former helmed the project.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbXAe8cAJXEM1-wPqt9d-wjG-3jNpAkRxyiHnz5D2Rf-6xG1Hgm9-bXB54sYQYiOjtf2wGJm3rqJ_L4RSu-NSYIomlpo64KZWMiFabs1kTqWCLxF0j2gD7gGCCZJXS96rHfIBrodJRaDH7/s1600/ang-dalawang-mrs-reyes-jc-de-vera-joross-gamboa.JPG" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Joross Gamboa as Gary and JC De Vera as Felix in ‘Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes’" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="358" data-original-width="722" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbXAe8cAJXEM1-wPqt9d-wjG-3jNpAkRxyiHnz5D2Rf-6xG1Hgm9-bXB54sYQYiOjtf2wGJm3rqJ_L4RSu-NSYIomlpo64KZWMiFabs1kTqWCLxF0j2gD7gGCCZJXS96rHfIBrodJRaDH7/s1600/ang-dalawang-mrs-reyes-jc-de-vera-joross-gamboa.JPG" title="Joross Gamboa as Gary and JC De Vera as Felix in ‘Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes’" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Joross Gamboa as Gary and JC De Vera as Felix in ‘Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes’/Star Cinema</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Santos’ and Panganiban’ years of experience acting in different genres gives them the commanding presence on-screen. This is one of the few times that a star power was pivotal when it comes to a film’s success as having two familiar faces makes it’s more outrageous aspect an easier sell. Sure, “Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes” oftentimes cross the fence when it comes to reality and campy ridiculousness, but throughout its course, it was able to maintain the core of its story, which is still rooted on real-world situations and experienced by some of us.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />Lana’s approach on the tricky LGBTQ aspect of the story is both fun but non-fictional. More importantly, not in a way that is a blatant insult to members of that community, and the relationships they have. While it’s true that in the end, Gary and Felix’s technically sinful bond (not because of their sexual orientation but because they are married to other people) is the movie’s central plot device that kicks off the events that follows, it is handled in a way that is both fun and still sensitive to those who find themselves in the same hot spot. <br /><br />Despite the different twist in the cheating narrative, “Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes” was able to execute its plot points and even script in a way that it’s not alienating other people who may not be in the exact same situation, but can relate to the predicament. This makes the movie highly appealing for a wide viewing demographic.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2qPkx8o5WPnQRI0vV3M8CzBHo5Bk_yjkMK-2zWTOpGFBhG5NP9GbkW9cWKNMilheAlUiMTVjBteySuB0QYpqUuH23RTfzUbNMAxij21kahsStlF0PB1RBjQ-lXQVEJ5X9XjWKNlSa7tJs/s1600/ang-dalawang-mrs-reyes-judy-anne-angelica-panganiban.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Angelica Panganiban as Lianne and Judy Ann Santos as Cindy in ‘Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes’" border="0" class="img" data-original-height="476" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2qPkx8o5WPnQRI0vV3M8CzBHo5Bk_yjkMK-2zWTOpGFBhG5NP9GbkW9cWKNMilheAlUiMTVjBteySuB0QYpqUuH23RTfzUbNMAxij21kahsStlF0PB1RBjQ-lXQVEJ5X9XjWKNlSa7tJs/s1600/ang-dalawang-mrs-reyes-judy-anne-angelica-panganiban.jpg" title="Angelica Panganiban as Lianne and Judy Ann Santos as Cindy in ‘Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes’" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption">Angelica Panganiban as Lianne and Judy Ann Santos as Cindy in ‘Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes’/Star Cinema</td></tr></tbody></table><br />“Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes” proves that Filipino comedy can not be lazy and derogatory. That movie-going audience has the right to have fun in the theater without feeling as if they’ve seen all the gags and the humorous bits elsewhere. The fact that the film even intertwined a tricky subject but not a patronizing or at least  in a heavy handed way is something to be commended at.<br /><br />Watch full trailer here:<br /><br /><center><div class="video-wrapper"><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/piDrgrTBo8s" width="100%"></iframe></div></center><br /><b>— ALD, The Summit Express</b></div>
