What celebs want for Christmas

On Christmas Eve, celebrities reveal their heartfelt desires, sharing their dreams with unguarded sincerity.

In a delightful twist, some beloved local stars are boldly expressing their wishes, unfiltered, as they embrace the holiday spirit.

Cedrick Juan: "I really hope may makulong na sa mga corrupt, kasi greatly affected yung mga taong bayan kasi we deserve better treatment from the government, lalo na yung nasa may laylayan sila na yung pinaka apektado. (I hope that those involved in corruption are held accountable and go to jail, because the people of this country are suffering. We deserve better from our government-especially those on the margins, who are the most affected.)"

Rhen Escano: "Well hindi naman po matatapos ang problema dito sa Pilipinas pero ang wish ko po sana maging matalino na po yung mga tao, sana sa susunod pumili na po tayo ng tamang tao para pa-upuin natin kasi nakaka overwhelmed po yung nangyayari sa atin ngayon. (The issues in the Philippines seem endless, but I still hope our people become wiser. I really hope that next time, we choose the right leader, because what we're going through right now is just too much.)"

Alden Richards: "Sana ma-realize ng lahat ng mga kababayan natin, in position or not in position, to treat everyone fairly because I think that's being taken for granted for the longest time right now. (I hope all our countrymen, in position or not in position, will realize to treat everyone fairly because I think that's being taken for granted for the longest time right now.)"
