TV host-actor and veteran entertainment columnist Butch Francisco and film preservation advocate Leo Katigbak have disclosed their respective bets for the Top 10 Filipino Best Actresses of the Modern Era in the premiere episode of “Best 10 Bets", FYE Channel’s new showbiz talk show that is now streaming on YouTube. The list includes ten of Butch’s picks and of Leo’s own favorites who have made a mark on television and cinemas from 2000 onwards as the show looks back on local showbiz’s memorable talents, films, shows, and more.
On top of Butch’s list is Nadine Lustre whom the veteran entertainment journalist described as “walang ka-inhi-inhibition sa katawan tapos yung features niya parang belong na belong sa community. She’s able to blend in, parang chameleon. Tapos nanalo siyang Urian at marami siyang awards.” Meanwhile, Leo chose Kathryn Bernardo as his top pick. “When Kathryn did ‘A Very Good Girl', she set herself at a higher bar than everybody else because she was willing to push herself to a new level,” said the ABS-CBN Film Restoration head. Butch also shared his two cents on the list they came up with. He said, “May mga bagong sibol dito na sana kung may maipapayo ako bilang nakatatanda -- huwag kayong masyadong maging conscious dahil nakilala kayong bigla. Kung anuman kayo ngayon, mag-improve kayo ng craft ninyo pero physically keep it that way.”
On the next episode, Butch and Leo will respectively name their bets for the Top 10 Love Teams of All Time. “This is a show where we’ll have fun to discuss our picks,” teased Leo, noting that their bets are personal to them and are subject to a healthy discussion. “My list is personal, it’s based on the perspective that I have and the projects I have seen,” he added. Find out the rest of the Best Actress picks of Butch and Leo in “Best 10 Bets", streaming new episodes every Saturday at 7:00 pm on FYE Channel's official YouTube channel and will soon be available on Spotify.
