The Attack of the Hams

Undoubtedly, Maging Sino Ka Man is one of the most popular local soap operas today. It features four famous young star(let)s entangled with/by/in love. Because of its star power and decent storyline—a very rare combination in local soap operas today—, Maging Sino Ka Man enjoys a huge fan base, especially among my classmates.

But there are some things/ people I find problematic in Maging Sino Ka Man. The biggest one is Smokey Manaloto. Smokey is quite effective in comedy. But in the heavy drama that MSKM is, Smokey is such a ham. I swear, I just cringe each time I see scenes that have Smokey in them. I hate Smokey. I hate how he cries. I hate how he attacks his character as Eli’s brother. I hate the way he is sooooo over-acting. He is just not effective. The audience should be sympathizing with his character, yet, I, as part of the audience, am not really sympathetic to him. Instead, I want to kick his face.

Smokey Manaloto-Ham!! Ham !! Ham!!


Recently, Smokey’s ka-o.a.-an has been rubbing off to John Lloyd Cruz. The latter’s slowly becoming a ham.

And have you noticed how Sam Milby has capitalized on his popular line “I never said that I love you”? Now he seems to be syllabicating each time he delivers his line. Just imagine him saying these the same way he delivered the aforementioned line. “Jacky, I am horny. I want to have sex with you, on the other hand, after seeing your huge arms, I decided to have sex with Piolo, after all, he’s hotter.”

The only things I really look forward to in watching MSKM are Christopher de Leon’s and Chin-Chin Gutierrez’ acting and Anne Curtis’ Australian accent each time she speaks English.

Goodness gracious. News has it that Manny Pacquiao’s been included to the Administration Ticket for this upcoming May elections. The good news? He is not (yet) included in the senatorial lineup. The bad news is he has the choice to run either for a seat in the lower house or a mayoral position in General Santos. His mother has already said that if Manny decides run, she would not support him. His kababayans have also expressed their disagreement with the election plans of the people’s champ.

Please, Manny, think. Politics is definitely a bigger fight compared to the ones you have had in the boxing ring.

“Minsan, para maging masaya, kelangan mong manakit ng kapwa,”—Chin-Chin Gutierrez’ Corazon to Sam Milby’s JB in Maging Sino Ka Man.

Smile naman d’yan. God bless us all.!!
