StarTalk Celebrates 19 Years As The Showbiz News Authority

I can still remember more than ten years ago, me and my mother went inside the studios of GMA Network to be one of the audience of StarTalk. Yes, the longest running showbiz talk show in the country now on its 19th year and counting. With the orignal hosts back them who was Boy Abunda, Rossana Roces and Lolit Solis. It was my first time to see a love show in the flesh as well how controversial and dramatic the industry can be, and it still is.

Now being able to feature kapuso shows and news on my blog, my memory of startalk still lingers whenever I get inside the compound. Time did pass, hosts come and go, segments have evolved and yet the flavor of showbiz, the actors, the explosive news and the rivers of tears shed on the live show became history and became a foundation for StarTalk to be the showbiz authority.
