Star Profiles

Joel Torre

Anti-coal advocates and Greenpeace volunteers from Bacolod will probably tell you that veteran actor Joel Torre is up there in their list of favorite celebrities. And it’s not just because Joel is a native of Bacolod, or that he’s won more awards and made more movies than most other actors. And not even because of his down-to-earth, straightforward attitude and total lack of celebrity airs which makes him such a likeable next-door-neighbor sort of guy. It’s mostly because Joel Torre, the dedicated but unassuming veteran actor from Bacolod, is championing a cause close to their hearts: clean energy.

Kitchie Nadal

Popular for the bittersweet song 'Wag na Wag Mong' Sasabihin' Kitchie Nadal has conquered the female OPM niche, following the same path as that of other female rock legends like Sampaguita, Barbie Amalbis and Color It Red's Cookie Chua and ultimately paving the way for a number of guitar-wielding alternative rock maidens that now dominate the airwaves.
