John is the most recent coach to win Season 16 of the popular reality singing competition. Call it beginner’s luck, but definitely, it was more than that for John, who beamed with his first winning talent, 26-year-old New Yorker Maelyn Jarmon.

Sexy Talk with Finding You star Jerome Ponce It was with the Kapamilya soap Be Careful With My Heart that Jerome Ponce (as the son of Richard Yap and the brother of Janella Salvador) made a mark in public consciousness. “I was a greenhorn then and I didn’t know anything much about showbiz,” said Jerome, son of retired actor Jessie Delgado. “I was using my real surname Porciuncula and the ABS-CBN guys thought it was too long and hard to remember so they shortened it to Ponce.” “Perfect,” said Avel Bacudio, Jerome’s manager. “Bagay sa kanya.” In his latest movie (opening on Wednesday, May 29), Regal Entertainment’s Finding You, Jerome plays Nel, a social media journalist afflicted with a rare condition called hyperthymesia (the opposite of amnesia) who remembers every detail of every moment of his life. “I am like Nel in a way because I can recall, especially important moments in my life,” admitted Jerome.
