Young stars:
no respect for
older actors
According to Robin Padilla,
young stars nowadays lack the
acknowledgment and respect for
senior actors whenever they cross
paths or are present in the same
place.
“I must say that it’s so
different these days as compared
to my time,” he avers. “There’s
really something amiss when
it comes to showing respect
for older or more veteran stars.
Contemporary young stars don’t
know how to show it and they’re
not the slightest concerned on
the matter.”
Binoe reveals that he himself
has an experience of this kind.
“Oh, yes! Many times actually.
You meet this young crop of stars
in the elevator and they’ll not
acknowledge you as if you were
non-existent. Sometimes, I’m
tempted to say, ‘Hey! I’m Robin
Padilla!’ But of course, you don’t
want to impose on them, right?”

for Judy Ann Santos about her
life in show business.
“That’s true! It’s all about
acceptance of everything that’s
taking place--- the change, the
trend and the fast turnover of
stars,” she says.
The actress, who’s headlining
movie Ang
Dalawang
the
Mrs.
Reyes opposite Angelica
Panganiban, knows that she can’t
be at the top forever.
“When I see the present

they are at present, I couldn’t
help but just smile and feel
thankful because at one point in
your life, you were there as well.

in the middle of that. More fresh
faces will crop up in the coming
days and our batch will gradually
