MANILA, Philippines – Psychic experts claim that the Year of the Water Dragon will generally be a good one for the local entertainment industry.

For one, many actors and actresses are predicted to bring honor to the country through international recognitions and possible stints in Hollywood.

“Maraming actors and actresses ang nakikita ko [na] would win international awards. And these are the people pa na hindi natin halos napapansin pa rito, or ‘yung mga dark horses na makakapasok o gagawa ng isang proyekto sa Hollywood,” Stargazer told “The Buzz” in a taped interview aired on Jan. 1.

Bro. Mhon Co, for his part, saw a “very vibrant” industry with more “promising developments.” He also felt that “more people will support the Filipino movie industry” this year.

However, he revealed that news about an actress’ first pregnancy will “shock” the public because she will get knocked up not by her boyfriend but by another man.

“Very popular itong dalawang ito. Kinikilala ‘to ng madla eh,” Co added.

Kapamilya stars’ predictions

In the same “Buzz” report, Co and Stargazer aired their predictions on the career and health of some of ABS-CBN’s biggest stars.

For comedian and “Showtime” resident judge Vice Ganda, Co said that his career “will still continue to grow to a larger extent” but was advised to “take care of his health."

"He might be even [rushed to the] hospital [in] the middle of this year," Co claimed.

Things are also looking up for “Star Power” champ Angeline Quinto, as Stargazer predicted her career to remain “okay” because she will be blessed with breaks and more projects “left and right.”

Piolo Pascual, according to Co, will receive more awards this year. He even extended his early congratulations to the actor, saying, “I know someday makikilala ka sa larangan ng iyong pag-arte hindi lang sa Pilipinas kundi sa ibang bansa pa.”

Stargazer encouraged Andi Eigenmann, who took a break from showbiz when she got pregnant, to “bounce back” because “there’s so much waiting for her. She’s gonna be welcomed [back] with open arms.”

Anne Curtis will be able to acquire more properties this year; however, Co warned her of a possible vehicular accident.

MANILA, Philippines – The year 2011 ended on a sad note for Vice Ganda as his beloved grandmother, whom he calls “Mamang,” passed away on Dec. 31.

Vice, who had a successful year with his hit shows and top box-office film “The Unkabogable Praybeyt Benjamin,” tweeted at around 5:30 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, “Bye Mamang. Mahal na mahal kita. Dito ka lang sa puso ko hanggang magkasama tayo ulit.”

He followed the post with: “I lost my smile. I'll just find it again. Dnt know how. Dnt know when. But I will. Soon.”

“I bow my head. Close my eyes. Accept thy will. And give you thanks.”

The hit comedian, however, did not disclose the exact cause of his grandmother’s death. Her health, though, had gradually failed in the past few years. She suffered a severe stroke in 2009, and was confined in an intensive care unit last November.

Despite the loss, Vice managed to tell his more than 1.2 million Twitter followers, “Maraming maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat. Sa pagmamahal, suporta at pag-unawa. Happy New Year!”

The “Showtime” main judge emotionally talked about his “Mamang” in his interview on “The Buzz,” New Year’s Day. According to one of Vice’s tweets, the interview was taped “a few days ago.”
