Veteran actress Angie Ferro dies at 86
Angie Ferro, an acclaimed veteran actress of stage, TV and film, has passed on, according to tributes by friends and industry colleagues posted online. She was 86. "Rest in eternal peace, our feisty talented driven theater colleague, our dearest Angie Ferro!," wrote Bohol-based theater director and musician Lutgardo Labad, a stalwart colleague of Ferro in the theater company Philippine Education Theater Association or PETA. "Patay na si Uray Hilway ng Amaya at Lola Igna. My teacher, a friend, ina ng aming teatro. Rest in peace, BB. Angie Ferro," said GMA head writer Suzette Severo Doctolero in her own Facebook post. Doctolero's tribute referenced two of the late-career projects that made Ferro a recognizable face and name to younger TV and movie watchers. In 2011-2023, she was in the cast of GMA7's blockbuster period TV series "Amaya". In 2019, at 82 years old, she was the lead star in the independent film "Lola Igna," for which she would win Best Actress in that year's Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino and garner as well a Best Actress Gawad Urian nomination. Born in Baleno, Masbate, Philippines, Ferro was in landmark films across various decades such as Celso Ad Castillo's "Pagputi ng Uwak... Pag-itim ng Tagak (1978) and Lav Diaz's "Ebolusyon ng Isang Pamilyang Pilipino" (2004). She won Best Supporting Actress at the FAMAS Awards for "Pagputi ng Uwak..." and was a supporting actress nominee in the 2005 Gawad Urian for "Ebolusyon". In October 2021, she received the Nora Aunor Ulirang Artista Lifetime Achievement Award at the 36th PMPC Star Awards for Movies. She was reported to be in critical condition in May this year, with friends and colleagues rallying for financial support because the actress had no immediate family.

Filipino actor Donny Pangilinan reached a new career milestone when he garnered a million subscribers on his YouTube channel on 17 July. The same day Pangilinan reached a million YouTube subscribers, fans and viewers were also anticipating the debut of his vlog with his younger sister, Solana, titled “Date with Sola (The Remake).” In the 15-minute vlog, the 25-five-year-old actor took his younger sister, Solana, out on a date as she turned 12 on 14 July. The siblings went on a shopping spree date, bought birthday gifts, ate a scrumptious meal and played arcade games to celebrate his Solana’s birthday. The heartwarming vlog was also a remake of the same vlog he did with his sister six years ago. Fans reacted quickly and lauded the siblings’ tight bond through the years. As soon as he gained a million subscribers, Pangilinan went to Instagram to thank his fans and subscribers for the support. “HAPPY 1M LABYU,” said his Instagram story.

On 16 July, Universal Records Philippines announced on Twitter that Pangilinan is working on a new song in Baguio. In 2022, ABS-CBN announced that DonBelle will headline the TV show Can’t Buy Me Love under the direction of director Mae Cruz Alviar. Alviar is the director of the hit TV series 2 Good 2 Be True (2022) and the movies Can’t Help Falling in Love (2017) and Four Sisters Before the Wedding (2021). Although not much has been disclosed to the public, the pair has revealed that they have begun preparing for the show. Can’t Buy Me Love will be Pangilinan and Mariano’s comeback to the small screen after He’s Into Her (2021), a teen romantic-comedy series based on the 2012 Wattpad novel by author Maxine Lat Calibuso or Maxinejiji.
