The road to stardom is trodden by many but as it turns out, it is not for the weak at heart and quitters.
In as much as celebrity life is accentuated by glitz and glamour, few people acknowledge the fact that most of the celebrities have undergone uncountable negative criticisms, rejection and a tedious journey to achieve their celebrity status.
The celebrity arena in Philippines is home to hundreds of megastars armed with diverse talents and charm.
Even though there are several stars who are born into stardom and find it easy scaling the fame ladder, it is important to acknowledge the fact that others have experienced great hardships and have had to work hard to command their current status.
Coincidentally, many of the hottest Filipino stars’ scandals revolve around relationships, explicit romance escapades and indecent exposure involving deep and strong sexual undertones.
The following celebrity review highlights some of the most famous persons and the fiascos they have suffered at one point of their celebrity lives.
Manny Pacquiao
Manny is a famous Philippine boxer and arguably one of the best pound per pound boxer in the world’s boxing history.
In as much as he desired to keep his life under the wraps, Manny has severally been scrutinized by paparazzi exposing his clandestine lifestyle.
In 2007, Manny was involved in an embassy scandal involving indecent acts where he was captured kissing and flirting with a random girl at the embassy in a drunken stupor. Well, not an exactly ethical manner to knock your way into a lady’s affection.
Katrina Halili
Katrina is undoubtedly one of the greatest Philippine vixen who worked at Starbucks before becoming a famous actress.
She bagged the Philippines’ sexiest woman award in the year 2006 and 2007 and even graced the covers of popular magazines such as FHM and Maxim Philippines.
However, the release of her down and dirty sex tape with Hayden Kho really rocked the showbiz world. The source of the video is hitherto unknown.
Annie Curtis
Anne is a famous Philippine sex symbol who was reportedly caught up in an ugly incident in a posh restaurant where she had allegedly hosted a bachelorette party for a friend.
It is reported that the fracas materialized when someone apparently banged her door, although these claims cannot be verified considering the revelers were under the influence of alcohol.
In a drunken stupor she slapped an actor, John Lloyd Cruz and arrogantly told off another lady. Probably upon realization of the magnitude of her insolence, she later apologized upon gaining sobriety.
Angelica Panganiban
This megastar is known for her talent in ABS-CBN and for severally featuring in TV shows, movies and a box office hit titled A Love Story.
Panganiban was however caught up in a photo scandal leaked on the internet, which had been captured in her dressing room immediately before a photoshoot.
However, arguably, the biggest bone of contention came from the fact that these photos showed her exact natural self with noticeable traces of baby fat but the actual final photos were photo-shopped and contrasted greatly. Too bad things don’t always seem what they appear to be.
Freddie Aguilar
This celebrity sparked an intense and unprecedented controversy back in 2013. Freddie is a famous rock music icon and several people identity with his music.
It however emerged that this rock star was not only good at plucking stringed musical instruments but was also adept at taking advantage of his stardom to pluck young female fans for himself.
The worst part is that the young lady in question was a minor and this could have led to a serious child molestation suit against Freddie.
Apparently, it eventually proved hard to beat Freddie at his game since he converted to Muslim and married the minor as the religion condones such acts.
