Why was Matteo Guidicelli fired from Bilyonaryo News Channel (BNC), where he used to work as co-anchor on the evening newscast, "Agenda"? Word has it that despite a live contract with BNC the actor-turned-broadcaster accepted a news-oriented program on TV5.
Quite a wrong move, Matteo.
Wondering now what’s going to happen to Matteo’s BNC talk program, which had an eventful take-off featuring guests like Piolo Pascual and Erwan Heussaf on separate, high-powered episodes.

Cheers to Nadine Lustre, who shouted out on social media against foreign tourists who reportedly assault locals in Siargao island, where she resides. The actress said that foreigners treat locals shabbily, disrespecting them. She blasted stories of aggression, entitlement, violence, and complete disregard to the community.
Nadine earns the respect of today’s young people for speaking out unfiltered on issues affecting the nation. She is fearless while taking a stand on what she believes is right, including her thoughts on massive corruption in government and environment.

Being a believer in real estate investing, I take my hat off to today’s actors who put their hard-earned money where it can grow beyond their expectations.
One of those who invest in property wisely is Enrique Gil, who, according to a PEP story, has amassed at his young age of 34 a number of real estate property. The list includes, according to Arniel Serrato, a beach front property, a farm, several lots in Metro Manila, an apartment in Spain. Enrique now wants to engage in the buy and sell of houses.
Bilib ako talaga.
The veteran actor credits his mother, Bambi Gil, for helping him handle his money and where to put it where it can grow like mushroom on a field so rich. In the case of actors who make so much in show business, it helps that there are parents who can guide them in handling their earnings.

Jun Magdangal is credited by his daughter Jolina for helping her manage her money. Father and daughter also invested in real estate, and this partly explains why Jolina and her family have maintained their comfortable lifestyle.
We caught up with Jun Magdangal during a recent weekend in Tagaytay where they now reside. Jun has allowed his married daughter full control of her career, which he used to manage.

At the height of his career as a child actor in the 1970s, Niño Muhlach made so much money in films and endorsements. His father, Alex, being a finance guy, managed to invest his son’s money in stocks and other investments. When Niño came of age, he finally got a hold of his money, which his father had invested wisely.
To this day, Niño and his family live in comfort, thanks to a father’s good sense, money-wise.
