I went to the (40th) Star Awards for the first time on July 21, a Sunday evening, at the Henry Lee Irwin Theater in Ateneo de Manila to accept an award on behalf of a good friend and my long-timeTempo columnist, Ronald K. Constantino.
Ronald is the first recipient of the Ethel Ramos Dean’s Lister Award, an award named after another close friend who passed on in 2023, Ms. Ethelwolda A. Ramos, movie columnist-talent manager.
Backstage, I had an opportunity to take a picture with the superstar and National Artist, Nora Aunor, who was to be named Best Actress for Pieta moments later. She figured in a triple tie with Vilma Santos and Maricel Soriano . Alas, Fernan de Guzman, who kindly took our picture, didn’t quite catch my entire face in the quick shot. I am now afraid to use it.
Based on Nielsen TV Audience Measurement data from January to June 2024, the magazine show hosted by Jessica Soho bested all other TV programs, securing the top spot in Total Philippines with a combined GMA/GTV/Pinoy Hits people rating of 14.6 percent.
