For those of us who lead private lives, we all assume that being born in the spotlight is never easy. For the MEGA Entertainment September issue, twins Many and Cassy Legaspi debunk myths and misconceptions surrounding showbiz royalties.

In this issue of MEGA Entertainment, Jasmine talks about making a name for herself, owning her craft, and finding her true love.

Kylie Verzosa's life is made up of long working hours and occasional "down" times. But most days have been good.
