With another year ending before you can even say “Manigong Bagong Taon,” Philippine show business will soon be reinvigorated and replenished with n ew a nd exc i t i n g talents, possibilities and opportunities so that it stays alive, relevant, pulsating and throbbing! Out with the old and welcome the new is the calling of a new season. Make way for the “new hopes,” batch 2025.

Ingenue and ‘It’ Boy

Nella Dizon, eldest daughter of international award-winning actor Allen Dizon, traipses her way to Pinoy Tinseltown. She, as one iconic song declares, has what it takes to become “the perfect symbol of a nation rich in heritage and love” with her beauty queen and supermodel looks, and her prior films as a kid then as young miss that had Jason Paul Laxamana and film master Joel Lamangan as directors. In Huwag Mo Kong Iwan, she gives her character honesty and vulnerability, and her Filipina beauty is truly mesmerizing.

Of the many nubile men in GMA 7’s Mga Batang Riles, the standout, without a doubt, is Bruce Roeland. Many opine that he deserves to be called Bruce Almighty, with looks and physique that scream superstar male supermodel. His acting chops will mightily surprise Kapuso loyalists and casuals when it goes on full display in the drama filled with boys, their raging hormones and testosterone-fueled ambitions and dreams.

Team Orange

The Kahels, collective moniker of the Kyle Echarri and Andrea Brillantes fandoms, will pull all their force, might and strings to ensure the superstardom of their loved pairing. This love team, being best friends for real, perfectly blends saccharine and young adult sensuality and vibes. The knight and damsel trope fits them to a T. However, with their acting prowess, as viewed by many in Senior High and Pamilya Sagrado, these two can sink their teeth on edgier and darker roles, making them a cut above the rest of showbiz pairings and tandems.
