The glimpses of 2002

Malungkot na showbiz balita...na naman!!!

Ayaw man naming maghatid ng patuloy na negatibong balita tungkol sa Philippine showbiz ay hindi talaga maiwasan dahil sa mga sunod-sunod na mga pangyayaring di inaasahan. Mukhang hindi talaga maganda ang naging pasok ng huling quarter ng taong 2001 dahil halos puro na lang kamatayan, aksidente at sakit ang nangyayari sa mga artista.
