    the title is misleading as a number of the people in the list are showbiz personalities, one way or another. i was hoping the list would include experts on food, travel, photography, shopping, etc. that people follow.

    You will never understand the dysfunctionality unless you were born in the US. There is a disconnect somewhere.

    The Philippine Department of Tourism did a great job of tapping the talent of Happyslip to reach out to the Filams. It worked! The Boracays, the Bohols, the Palawans, and the CamSurs of the Philippines are packed with Filams now.

    Now, why do you think are the Jabbawockeez having so much fun in the Philippines other than moolah. It is the connection to the motherland.

    Let me quote Swagger Boy - "I am HUMBLED by the experience".
  • igeramos Feb 27 2010 @ 10:46pm Report Abuse
    I luv happyslip, she's so diabolically brilliant specially when she does the lola and the nanay bits. She reminds me so much of my dysfunctional and neurotic relatives in the States. Of course what else should happen to you when you leave the Philippines and live in the States, but to become dysfunctional and neurotic: like happyslip! Stay that way please, to keep me entertained. I adore dysfunctional families, they are not boring like normal families.
  • deo Feb 27 2010 @ 08:21pm Report Abuse
    article was like 4/10 for me.
    it would have been more interesting if the article was about top twitterati's who responds to their followers.
  • Pia Magalona Feb 27 2010 @ 07:18am Report Abuse
    Thank you for featuring me in your article :)
    I do have to point out that I--along with most of the people on this list, maybe save Jiggy Cruz and Efren Peñaflorida--are technically categorized as being IN show business.
    Showbiz is anything to do with entertainment including the business and creative sides of it. I am my family's personal manager and
    I am also STILL FM's manager, always will be, because I manage his estate.
    I appreciate this, really, but just like the others who comment here, I think Anne Curtis' baby sis deserves to be on this list even more since I don't think she is a part of the business yet.
    I just need to call your attention on this because I embrace show business and have brought up my family to respect our industry as well.
    Thank you, once again, spot.ph! God guide you and be with you always <3

    Sam YG and Tim Yap, non-showbiz? Uhm Sam YG has Eat Bulaga, Cool Center, and TweetBiz, which also has Tim Yap as one its "Tweetmoso-in-chief.

    Dear spot, I know that I am diverting from the topic here.

    I love this blog and its diversity. However, I noticed an increasing number of comments pointing to spot as elitist. Just a suggestion, maybe you should also include masa topics other than artistas like for example, the new MRT/LRT loop, fast foods, etc. etc. etc. Studies have been made that the so-called masa have internet access already so this will give you a wider audience.

    Thanks.

    It's crazy that most people nowadays had so much time in their hands following useless twitter messages from these people. The perils of technology.

    HI Tita Aida,

    We apologize for the disappearance of your comment which said that our researchers were prejudiced by not including Bryan Boy on this list. We were also wondering why your comment disappeared. In fact, we replied to your comment right away and said (our comment also disappeared):

    Hi Tita Aida,

    Bryanboy is No.9 on the list in case you missed him. We also featured him all week:

    http://www.spot.ph/2010/02/20/video-bryan-boys-march-2010-vogue-shoot/

    Spot.ph


    We are still figuring out what happened, which we suspect has something to do with a technical procedure that happened around that time this afternoon.

    We apologize for causing you any undue stress. Rest assured comments on Spot are only deleted when they contain abusive or threatening behavior, advertising, spam or malicious comments.

    Thanks!

    The Spot.ph editors

    whoa..edited then added divine lee to the list..congrats
  • Tita Aida Feb 25 2010 @ 10:49pm Report Abuse
    I love spot and I read good reviews about it. I wondered why my comment about BryanBoy was deleted without notice. All I said was spot did was prejudiced for not including BryanBoy in the list.

    If deleted on purpose, spot is starting to be selective with posting comments which are not rude at all.

    Just as I was so curious who these non celeb who made it to this list paving their way to be known when alas! all of those are "celebrities" in their own right! Technically, where do we rightfully categorize them? celebrities w/o Tv/Movie/awards/Fan based star or what have they? Kakalurky!! And why are you so in the A-B crowd following ? Not only in this item,.. are u really catering to the upper strata? what abt the masa who has a right pan"lasa"?

    It's very telling that most of the people on the list are not really non-showbiz celebrities. Tim Yap? Sam YG? Liz Uy (ex-girlfriend of showbiz celebrity equals showbiz celebrity)? Mich Dulce (PBB housemate equals showbiz celebrity)? They're non-showbiz how?
  • D.U. Feb 25 2010 @ 04:00pm Report Abuse
    Mich Dulce is a PBB housemate, siya ung tinalakan ni Keanna Reeves ng bonggang bongga dahil nag-iinarte.

    u should include on the info that she was an ex housemate.
  • Melissa Amano Feb 25 2010 @ 03:30pm Report Abuse
    @Fanny you're right! Divine is outrageous and i like her DADDY DEAREST NOTES: it's very informational

    You should take out celebs here with shows of their own. Like TIM YAP, TJ, JULIUS, SAM YG
  • Fanny Belegra Feb 25 2010 @ 03:23pm Report Abuse
    Divine Lee should be here! she has 6400 followers! And her tweets are so funny!
  • rdangel Feb 25 2010 @ 03:16pm Report Abuse
    I follow Tim Yap, Jiggy Cruz, Andi Manzano and Grace Lee among your top 20. Looks like Mojo and the Boys' Night Out boys are cool too. :-)

    BryanBoy is still not in the list? Your research department is prejudiced.
  • Tros Feb 25 2010 @ 10:37am Report Abuse
    Isn't Julius Babao more of a legit celeb than a semi-celeb? He's a primetime news anchor on a major TV network, isn't he?
