I’m a Gen Z who has watched many 1950s Tagalog movies. AMA.
It used to be one of my hobbies, which started when YouTube recommended an old movie. By watching them, I, as a Gen Z, learned a lot about the movie stars, moviemakers, and movie industry from the generation of our grandparents.
As a Gen Z, who were the Filipina showbiz “it” girls of the 1980s and 1990s?
An “it” girl is someone who is NOT necessarily the most famous superstar of the era. It’s someone who has a pretty and classy public image (preferably from a rich family). Of course, ”classy” and ”pretty” are subjective.
So, I wanna read the opinions of those from those generations talaga, and not just ‘yung sinasabi ng magazines na makikita sa Google.
Who are your favorite B-list actors/actresses?
Since A-listers usually get the spotlight, let’s turn the spotlight on B-listers this time. I personally believe that there is nothing wrong with being a B-lister. I’m saying this because many times, showbiz is an industry that tends to put fame on a pedestal. B-listers have their own charm too. They are famous, but they can still maintain a level of privacy because people are not too fixated on them.
B-listers are usually leading men/leading ladies in middling (ratings are not too high, but not too low) teleseryes. Sometimes, there are hit teleseryes, but usually they are middling. In terms of endorsements, padalang-dalang lang din. Just to give a few examples: Carla Abellana, Rhian Ramos, and Shaina Magdayao are B-listers. This might be debatable, but I believe Max Collins is a B-lister too.
Sinong artista ang mukhang full Filipino kahit na ang grandparents at parents ay may lahi/foreigner?
Yes, some would argue na “lahat naman may halong lahi.” I’m pertaining to celebrities na malapit ’yung ibang lahi (like grandparents and parents), pero mukhang conventionally Filipino with Malay features.
Some I can think of:
- Lovi Poe
- Sid Lucero
- Francis M
- Maxene Magalona
- Julia Montes
- Empress Schuck
- Richard Gomez
- Zsa Zsa Padilla
- Maja Salvador
- Isabelle Daza (added)
- Ylona Garcia (added)
- Karina Bautista (added)
Here we go again with the baseless “majority” claim. Sourced straight from where?
Siguro ka ba na ganiyan ang “majority,” doomer?

I have a toxic relationship with Reddit
Yes.
I don’t know how else to put it, but it is what it is.
How many times did I tell myself that I should let go of Reddit, but my mind keeps coming back to it because this is also just my form of emotional release. It doesn’t really cure anything. Sometimes, it helps. Many times, it hurts.
