MANILA, Philippines — Filipinos love food and whenever there’s a feast, there’s “pagbabalot” or “mag-Sharon.”
In an exclusive interview with Philstar.com following her launch last week as new endorser of Filipino insurance company InLife (Insular Life), “Megastar” Sharon Cuneta said she does not mind if people nicknamed “mag-Sharon” or taking out food from the buffet after her – because she does not only do it, too; she even has her own song for it!

“No problem! I was laughing! Tuwang tuwa ako,” Sharon said when asked for her reaction to her many “Balutin” memes, which include a portion of her hit movie soundtrack “Bituing Walang Ningning” played while people were in the act of “mag-Sharon.”
“It’s so funny,” added Miel Pangilinan, Sharon’s youngest daughter, during the interview. Miel and Sharon were both launched as InLife endorsers.
