In Philippine cinema, a movie lacks luster without a
magnificent cast. The main characters or the ‘bidas’ have these actors playing
as their best friend. They are the shoulder to cry on. They may be an adviser or the laughing stock. Most of these
best friends made us laugh and entertained. As my first entry in my blog, I want
to share my “10 Most Effective ‘Bestfriend-of-the-Bida’ Actors.
1.
Eugene Domingo

She played the
role of Rowena as Ina Montecillo’s bestfriend in the ‘Tanging Ina’ Series. The very loud and scene-stealing best friend of
Ai Ai Delas Alas’ character landed her the Best Supporting Actress award from
the 36th Metro Manila Film Festival.

As far as I can
remember, Candy has been playing supporting character and played bestfriend to Mikee Cojuanco, Regine Velasquez, Donna Cruz
in the 90’s and even to Anne Curtis. That’s just to name a few.
3.
