16 Stars That Will Shine the Brightest in 2016
2015 was a year of love teams with AlDub, LizQuen, JaDine and KathNiel leading the pack. In 2016, who do you think will make it big in show business?
Here’s our bold predictions:
16. Juan Miguel Severo
He became an online hit with his heartbreaking spoken word poetry and was first given a break in showbiz through “On the Wings of Love.” With his funny role in the MMFF film “Walang Forever” which made a mark among moviegoers, we’re pretty sure we’ll see more of Juan Miguel in the near future.
15. Ronnie Alonte
Ronnie of “It’s Showtime” probably has the most number of fans in the all-male group “Hashtags” nowadays. Thanks to his TV guesting in “Gandang Gabi Vice” and Vice’s uninhibited admiration towards Ronnie, his fame skyrocketed so quickly.

14. Nico Antonio
He first appeared in several indie films and has been singing in a boy group on “ASAP” (with Markki Stroem and Alex Castro). He was also once a merman in “Dyesebel.” He also appeared as JM De Guzman’s sidekick in the MMFF New Wave Film “Tandem.” But his most memorable role to date is Tolayts, the tricycle driver-sweet lover in “On the Wings of Love.”
13. Pia Wurtzbach
Pia made every Filipino proud after she ended the 42-year drought of the pageant-fanatic nation vying for the Miss Universe crown. After trying for the third time in Binibining Pilipinas and finally representing the country in Miss Universe in 2015, Pia is now the rightful owner of the title, Most Beautiful. We now have a new Miss Universe!
12. Ylona Garcia
Ylona didn’t win as the “PBB” Big Winner, but this charming Fil-Aussie still has the potential to make it big whether in recording, TV or film.
11. JK Labajo
JK has been blossoming into a beautiful young and talented lad. After “The Voice Kids,” he has relatively found his niche in acting (via “Pangako Sa ‘Yo”) and performing (via “ASAP”).

10. Bailey May
After “PBB,” Bailey is being groomed as the next big thing in ABS-CBN. He now has an album and currently appears with Ylona in “On the Wings of Love.”
9. Jennylyn Mercado
Jennlyn has ended both 2014 and 2015 with bang having won the Best Actress trophies in MMFF with “English Only Please” and “#WalangForever. She has now proven her name in the industry as one bankable actress.

8. Michael Pangilinan
Michael has emerged as a familiar face in ABS-CBN after his noteworthy performances in “Your Face Sounds Familiar.” We bet we’ll see more of him this year!
7. Grae Fernandez Mark Anthony Fernandez’s son, Grae, is a gwaping in his own right. Aside from appearing in the boyband “Gimme 5,” Grae is also part of “Pangako Sa ‘Yo.”

The King of the Gil will be starring with Liza once again in a new teleserye, “Dolce Amore,” which will surely repeat the success of their previous team-ups.

5. Liza Soberano
Liza will undoubtedly reign supreme again next year. With her timeless beauty and oozing charisma, Liza will definitely be a big star.
4. Alden Richards
2015 was undeniably Alden’s year. He and Maine both made history as the most successful couple last year, popularly known as AlDub, with their hit segment in “Eat Bulaga.”
3. Maine Mendoza
Relatively a new face in the industry, Maine has become an instant hit in the country. Her success is evident in the high-rating TV show “Eat Bulaga,” her dozens of endorsements and a blockbuster MMFF film via “My Bebe Love.”

2. Elmo Magalona
Elmo follows the footsteps of his late father, Francis M., while commanding presence on stage and attracting a hundred shrieking fans while performing. Now a Kapamilya, Elmo will soon star in his first ABS-CBN teleserye called “Born for You.”

Top Pick: Janella Salvador
After Kathryn, Liza and Nadine, it’s now Janella’s turn to hit bigtime on primetime TV via the teleserye “Born for You.” Janella has the appeal that caters to all classes – and she definitely can sing and dance too which will help catapult her to fame.
