VERSUS – Who’s the current drama king?
Piolo Pascual versus John Lloyd Cruz?
Can’t really say as the two actors just mentioned are almost even in acting ability, box-office status, and popularity.
But must be said that Lloydie is more daring in choice of roles-gay, bad guy, good guy, offbeat or whatever.
After Piolo and Lloydie comes Jericho Rosales, a very fine actor but not as bankable and popular.

COMEDY – In the field of comedy, who reigns supreme at the box-office? Vice Ganda, who else.
But let it be said that a big threat to his hold on comedy genre is Paolo Ballesteros, beautiful and a very good actor. He has the awards – local and international – to prove it. Think “Die Beautiful” and the upcoming “Barbi,” originated by Joey de Leon.
But the comedy king and queen are Vic Sotto and Ai-Ai de las Alas. In terms of durability, bankability, and versatility, Vic and Ai-Ai are tested.
Vic is an engaging host – think “Eat Bulaga!” on GMA and “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” which aired on TV5. Ai-Ai also excels in drama – think “Area,” directed by Louie Ignacio, which gave her awards here and abroad.
After Vic and Ai-Ai come Vhong Navarro and Eugene Domingo, very competent actors and host.

Highspeed asked the opinion of other writers and the popular choices are Bea and Angel.
