SEVEN FEISTIEST WOMEN IN PHILIPPINE SHOWBIZ TODAY

We may love or hate their feisty character but one thing is for sure, we can never ignore them. They speak their minds and fight for what they think is right. We give them their rightful airtime on television and form opinions on issues involving them. They are fearless, bold, and valiant. They are the seven feistiest women in Philippine showbiz today.

NO. 7 GRETCHEN BARRETTO

Gretchen attracts controversy in every step of her way. She has avid detractors and critics who do not tolerate her innate flamboyance and over-the-top personality. She has been accused of almost everything the human mind can imagine but she has repeatedly shown to us that she is not affected. Throw anything to her and she would always find a way to be Gretchen.

NO. 6 MARIAN RIVERA

Marian is a true-blue Cavitena. She is accused over a thousand times of being straightforward, tactless and confrontation. Behind her sweet and charming looks is a quick-tongued toughie who will fight until the end. She wasn't Darna for nothing, right?

NO. 5 LOLIT SOLIS

Manay Lolit is actually a nice lady in the closet. I've worked with her and she was surprisingly pleasant. But with a few lawsuits on her record and a lionhearted look, many rattle in her presence. They know exactly that she will not let one bad move unnoticed.

 NO. 4 ANNABELLE RAMA

Pick a fight with one of Annabelle's children and you'll be butchered to death by this feisty talent manager's no-hold-barred sharp tongue. She is a very protective mother who thinks of nothing but the best for her family. We all copy Annabelle's signature frankness complete with her distinct Cebuano accent. Tama ba, Dong?

NO. 3 KORINA SANCHEZ

One of the scariest thing that someone who wants a career on television can do is work with Korina. She demands professionalism and a lot common sense from everyone who is part of her show. She will not hesitate to blow right on your face your mistakes and incompetence. Korina is equally brave with the issues she tackles in her radio and television shows. Indeed she has the balls and she is the third feistiest woman on Philippine showbiz.

NO. 2 ANGELICA PANGANIBAN

I agree with Mr M, you may accuse Angelica of anything but being a liar. The former child actress is the perfect real life version of "Rubi," her character in campy telenovela based on a Latin American soap. She is bidang contravida. Whether you like it or not, you would her from her a piece of her mind. She will not leave a fight with scarring her enemy's face. Her Twitter account is worth following.

NO. 1 CRISTY FERMIN

In as much as I tried avoiding the predictable, I have no choice but place Juicy and Paparazzi host Cristy Fermin on the No. 1 spot-- a much deserved title. Most of the bravest and juiciest entertainment news today comes straight from her mouth. She doesn't hesitate to attack her enemies and defend herself on national television and in her tabloid columns. Do not get into her way and you would end up crashed and damaged.
