Wala raw Filipino touch, dating Miss U inalipusta ang coronation sa Pinas!

Hindi masyadong nagkaroon ng publicity ang pagpunta sa Pilipinas ni Miss Universe 2005 Natalie Glebova para manood ng 65th Miss Universe.

Ilang araw pagkatapos panoorin ang Miss Universe 2016, naglabas ng mga obserbasyon si Natalie at marami ang agree sa kanya.

Kung may pinanghihinayangan si Natalie, hindi siya nagkaroon ng chance na makapagpakuha ng litrato na kasama si Miss Universe Philippines Maxine Medina.

Ito ang ilan sa mga puna ni Natalie tungkol sa mga naganap sa 65th Miss Universe.

“I did not care of Flo Rida and his music. I felt it took away from the elegance and class what MU is known for. Plus the songs were few years old and not current. Either stick with classic like Boys II Men or something fresh.

“Steve Harvey was a torture to tolerate as a host, and I can’t wait for his contract to expire. I did not get his humor and the whole making a “mistake” again comment over and over again got old super fast.

“No opening number dance or introductions was a sad exclusion.

“Lack of Filipino cultural significance. There were hardly any elements to showcase the rich and beautiful culture. When I was competing in Thailand they had so many Thai elements from music to stage, and having things like the tuk tuk, elephant, dancers, costumes and showing off all that Thailand has to offer.

“I think it’s a shame they didn’t showcase Philippines as a host country.

“The show kinda has a reality TV feel, and lacks that elegance and glamour that it used to be before.

“I was rooting for Thailand all the way and was so smitten by her from the start, she is so beautiful it makes you want to cry! However she failed to appear confident in her answer and sadly didn’t advance. How amazing it would have been though, to have her as a winner for Thai people after losing their beloved King this past year!   

“Chalita (Suansane) was perfect for MU but I guess it was not meant to be. I hope I get a chance to meet her very soon.

“I liked Maxine, Miss Philippines a lot too, and wished she could’ve also advanced. Her answer was not the best and she didn’t sound confident as well. She is gorgeous when I saw her in person at the hotel (too bad I didn’t get a chance to take a photo with her).”

Direk Dan mabilis napa-oo ni Direk Joyce

Si Joyce Bernal ang nag-alok kay Dan Villegas kung type nito na maging direktor ng Luck at First Sight.

Nasa isang supermarket si Dan nang matanggap nito ang phone call ni Joyce. Nag-yes agad si Dan nang ikuwento sa kanya ni Joyce ang plot ng Luck at First Sight na pagbibidahan nina Bela Padilla at Jericho Rosales.

Gustong-gusto ni Dan ang project dahil first time niya na gagawa ng pelikula na may involved na magic realism. Dream pala niya na magkaroon ng project na katulad ng Luck at First Sight dahil pinanood niya ang Magic to Win noong bagets pa siya. Sikat na pelikula ang Magic to Win na nagkaroon ng mga sequel at isa sa mga naging bida noong 1991 si Kris Aquino na leading lady ng Chinese actor na si Raymond Wong.
