MANILA — For entertainment journalists MJ Felipe and Ganiel Krishnan, the stars who leave the biggest impression are those who remain the same on and off camera.Speaking on veteran broadcaster Karmina Constantino&#x27;s podcast, the two shared the qualities they believe define lasting careers in show business, citing professionalism, authenticity and kindness behind the scenes.&quot;For me &#x27;yung makita mo &#x27;yung artist is really putting the effort, hard work doon sa set. &#x27;Yung ugali ng artistang ito, na kapag sinabi &#x27;yung call time nandoon siya agad mas maaga pa siyang dumarating sa tao sa set, it&#x27;s really the attitude,&quot; Krishnan said.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1783492518620Ganiel.JPG" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Screen grab: YouTube/KC After Hours</div>&quot;Minsan ang mga artista, mabait lang sila kasi kaharap ako, &#x27;yun ang thing when you are a showbiz reporter or journalist. Siyempre mabait sila sa iyo... kailangan best foot forward sila. So ang barometro ko na malayo ang mararating nito is kapag pareho siya kapag ini-interview ko siya at hindi ko siya ini-interview,&quot; Felipe said.Krishnan and Felipe both agreed that members of the Nation&#x27;s Girl Group BINI are same on cam and off camera.&quot;Ako hindi ko sila nai-interview palagi dahil nga parang bini-beat na nga rin si Kuya MJ, pero kapag nakita ko BINI on cam, off cam, same,&quot; Krishnan said.&quot;Mayroon pang isa, si Janine Gutierrez, I super love her. Kung sino siya, kahit galing sa showbiz royalty, lola Pilita (Corrales), Nora (Aunor), but (sweet), very smart, matalino. When you talk to her off cam, kung ano ang sinabi niya, &#x27;yun din ang sasabihin niya on cam, mas pinaganda pa niya,&quot; Krishnan added.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1783492571941MJ.JPG" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/>Screen grab: YouTube/KC After Hours</div>For his part, Felipe said that some of the &quot;realest&quot; celebrities are Angel Locsin, Angelica Panganiban, and Bea Alonzo.&quot;&#x27;Yan &#x27;yung mga talagang eye-to-eye kami, prangkahan. &#x27;Yung walang filter. Katulad ng isyu before Bea, Gerald (Anderson) Julia (Barretto). I interviewed Bea and Julia both sides. Ikaw (Ganiel) &#x27;yung kay Gerald,&quot; Felipe said.&quot;Oo, naalala ko &#x27;yon nakatingin talaga si Bea. ...Hindi siya nag-filter,&quot; Ganiel quipped.&quot;So for me talaga ang daming artista na pareho (on and off cam),&quot; Felipe added.In the podcast, Felipe and Krishnan also talked about how they started working as entertainment broadcast journalists, as well as the challenges and the lessons that are part of their work.They also talked about the changing landscape when it comes to interviewing celebrities.<div><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/O_tYCrasdQA?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe> </div>
