LEA SALONGA on unnamed noontime musical variety show:“We deserve far better than what we’re being offered.”
The award-winning Broadway actress reposted the post of her brother, Gerard Salonga, who is himself a world-renowned orchestral conductor and musical arranger.
Lea wrote on her verifi ed Facebook account on Sunday, May 5: “From Gerard’s Facebook page. It was too good to not share.
“Was watching a noontime musical variety show, and my daughter very accurately remarked “they’re singing out of tune, and way too slow”. Producers and artists alike – please realize that there are a lot of people who actually listen, and are not merely dazzled by the stars.”
In the comments section of her post, Lea responded to a writer who also observed the same thing.
Reporter Pilar Mateo commented on Lea’s post: “Sabi ko na may makakapuna!!!”
In response, Lea pointed out: “Lagi naman eh! But no one wants to do anything about it!”
The singer-actress also commented, “I’d like to think that we deserve far better than what we’re being offered. Haist! Ewan!”

CLINT BONDAD is now an official Kapuso after inking a managerial contract with GMA-7 on May 7, 2019.
On Instagram, Clint thanked his Love You Two co-star, Jennylyn Mercado, for being one of the reasons why he wanted to become a Kapuso.
The two first worked together in an episode of Dear Uge in November 2018.
It was Clint’s first appearance on GMA-7 after doing TV shows with rival network ABS-CBN.
He wrote, “And the transfer is official! Part of the #kapuso network GMA
“Just wanted to say thanks to @mercadojenny for being the main reason why I became interested. Our Dear Uge episode last year really changed my view on a view things. Needless to say you are such a sweetheart!”
Clint also thanked his handler Christian Torio and GMA Network in his post.
He wrote: “thanks to the Kapuso Network GMA for all the fun we already had so far and will have!”
GMA-7 TV host Tonipet Gaba and actor Andre Paras left comments on Clint’s post.
Tonipet wrote, “Finally! Welcome to GMA, Brother!”
Andre commented, “I can Finally be your stunt double (minus the shirtless parts)”
Clint first did a regular TV project in 2016, via ABS-CBN’s daytime series Be My Lady, starring Erich Gonzales and Daniel Matsunaga.
In 2017, he became a part of ASAP’s boy group Coverboys, along with Albie Casiño, Luis Hontiveros, Tommy Esguerra, and Tanner Mata.
However, in that same year, the boy group was disbanded.
On January 21, 2019, through an Instagram post, Clint explained that he left ASAP and stopped appearing in TV shows to focus on his business.
