She is beautiful inside and out. What makes her more beautiful is the fact that she is unassuming. She never considers herself beautiful, and that makes her all the more pretty to me.
Despite being new in show business, she has already shown great potential and numerous talents that she herself never knew existed. She plays the drums, dances, sings, writes beautiful poems, wrote a song, vlogs and blogs, cooks, and can do drama and comedy. She hosts, and there are just so many things she can do.
Above all that, she remains humble and has a grateful heart. Her smile alone can brighten someone's day.

Maine Mendoza is a lady admired by many. She's a woman who is beautiful inside and out.
As a mother, I'm sure every mother would love to have Maine Mendoza as their daughter. It's not because of what she is now, but because of what she has given to many. The best part is the happiness she brings to us.
Her richness is not in material things, but in the richness of her good character and heart. She has a very good heart that touches everyone she meets. I'm one of the lucky individuals to have met Maine in person, together with Nanay Dub.
Thank you, Tatay and Nanay Dub, because you gave us your daughter, who is adored by millions. Through your own goodness as her parents, she became the most blessed person.

She is incomparable. Nothing comes closer to her in this generation. She is the epitome of a perfect lady with charisma, talent, and beauty. She can sing beautifully in any genre, dance to any music, host a show, act in a movie, etc.
She is award-winning in both acting and especially singing, having more than 100 awards locally and internationally. She has been on the cover of many magazines in this country. A true world-class beauty, she's an actress of versatility. A down-to-earth, kind, and talented lady I have ever adored and loved.

Sixteen years in the business, Sarah Geronimo has accomplished so many things that most people in their lifetime could only dream of. Not a lot of TV personalities could say that they have had a diamond album, multi-platinum albums, box office successes, sold-out concerts, and numerous endorsements in just sixteen years.
We, the Popsters, the fans of Sarah Geronimo, need to know that we will be forever grateful for Sarah's artistic vision, for her commitment to showing the world her deepest passion and love in music, for giving a voice to the pain, and helping us remember that we might be misunderstood, but we also matter.
To Sarah Geronimo, thank you for sharing your talents and thank you for giving joy to your countless followers.

Her joining the fight for human rights, especially for women, is what most appeals to me and made me her fan. She was tagged as the Angelina Jolie of the Philippines because of her advocacies.
We all know that she's beautiful and kind, but her generosity is beyond compare. She is a beautiful person inside and out, a rare gem. She should be number one.

She is a very genuine person. When she helps, she does not make it known, and she tries hard to stay away from the camera. She is an angel sent from heaven.
What makes her a true gift from Heaven is her very kind and generous nature.

She is a true role model with a heart of gold. I love how she stands against bullying and cyberbullying because she knows what it feels like. Not everyone is brave enough to act on this matter.
In her showbiz career since she was a kid, no one has ever complained about her attitude. All her co-actors, production staff, directors, mentors, media people, fans, and even non-fans have nothing but good words and praises for Kathryn. She is truly inspiring.

She has everything that others don't have! She's so pretty and kind! I really like Kath just the way she is - very simple and talented, and a very good actress! She is gorgeous and kind-hearted.
As I observed, she is a great model for all teenagers, a perfect mirror not just for teens but for all! I love you, Kath! Stay pretty, simple, humble, and kind. I'm a great fan of yours no matter what! I also believe in KathNiel magic!

Kimberly Sue Yap Chiu is a Filipina actress, model, host, singer, dancer, and vlogger. She rose to fame after winning the first teen edition of Pinoy Big Brother in 2006. Since then, she has appeared in numerous television series and films and remains active in the entertainment industry.

She's a great artist! She knows how to handle herself despite coming from a poor and broken family. But she stands with honor and pride. The heart and soul of Kim Chiu are unmatched. She's very unique.
It's in her already. She's not doing sexy roles to be known but remains simple, elegant, and unique. That's what makes her "the one."

My family really likes Kim Chiu. She is a professional and versatile actress with a simple but unique style. She is not one of the crowd. She is really a princess and will be a queen.
Great Kim Chiu, you deserve to be number one. You're the model for the youth nowadays. Other actresses show their bodies and perform provocative dances and acting just to gain fame and earn big money. Kim Chiu did not choose to be like others, which is why many people continue to support her.

She is the most hated when in fact she is the most beautiful person inside and out. I think lots of people hate her because they are just insecure about her looks and achievements. If she were a bad person, I don't think she would be receiving all of her blessings in life.
It just goes to show that she is the most admirable person in the Philippines as far as reverse psychology is concerned. She is blessed because she is a good person. Her blessings speak well.

Her glowing beauty never goes unnoticed in any event. She accepts defeat and stands up every time she is pushed down. No other Filipina actress has maintained her glory despite numerous heavy issues the way Marian has.
The best part of her is her humility and well-grounded persona. People call her stupid, but she is wise. Her wisdom is one of a kind that only wise people can see and understand.

Very natural and God-fearing woman. She's extraordinary and multi-talented. No angst, no ego, helpful in her simplest ways.

Yes! She deserves to be number one because it is very obvious that she knows how to act, sing, and dance. She is also good at hosting, so #gotoni
