Truth be told, our family watches mostly ABS-CBN shows. For one, the network has a clearer signal in our area. GMA-7‘s signal has always been looking like that of the ’80s. Also, ABS-CBN shows are far more interesting than that of the competition. The network has more stars than any other local network combined.
Let’s take a closer look at the leading men for both networks…
GMA-7 has Dingdong Dantes, Dennis Trillo, Aljur Abrenica, Richard Gutierrez, TJ Trinidad, Mark Herras, Marvin Agustin and Mark Anthony Fernandez. Remind me if I missed out someone else. Dingdong, TJ, Marvin and Mark Anthony are all good actors. Good in what they do. They can legitimately act. On the other hand, Dennis, Aljur, Mark and Richard are better off in acting workshops. They need to learn to add more depth in their acting. Come on, I saw Dennis in a scene with Dingdong and my goodness! Dennis ate dust! And to think he’s one of the premier leading men of the network! Richard is, of course, without a doubt a really good-looking man. But let’s be honest here. He is lame in acting! Voice projection alone is terrible! He can act, yes, but not what we really expect from a network prince. And that Aljur guy! He acts like he’s only in a school play! Mark can act but please someone should tell him to let go of the addicted look and get some help with his speech! Let me just point out, by the way, that TJ, Marvin and Mark Anthony are from ABS-CBN who just went over the bakod for greener pasture.
I will continue with ABS-CBN’s leading men in my next post…
