Allesandra de Rossi: “Mukhang Katulong”


This is a story I read in my favorite entertainment tabloid, Bulgar.

Alessandra de Rossi probably rued the day she accepted an invitation to grace a major event in Lucena. While on a motorcade, a fan (obviously not of Alessandra) shouted “PANGIT,” referring to one of the stars of the ABS-CBN primetime teleserye Tayong Dalawa.

The fan probably got pissed off because Alessandra was acting like she’s at her tambayan making chika with her other org-mates. The motorcade was moving along quite nicely and Alessandra forgot to wave to the fans to make them feel special.

It’s Alessandra’s fault for not acknowledging the fans. After all, she was invited to add fun and glamor to the event. Alessandra provided the fun (or being the object of being made fun of). However the event coordinator forgot to inform Alessandra to provide glamor by looking it.

Alessandra attended the event with no make-up, not even lipstick, and without combing her hair. Did Alessandra just wake up, dress up (or down) and go to the event? “Mukha siyang katulong” was how Alessandra was described.

Bakit naman kasi pag morena ang artista mukha ng katulong? Pansinin, ang artistang tisay na maganda lang dahil maputi hindi tatawaging mukhang katulong.

I once saw Alessandra de Rossi in Greenhills. Well, there are girls more beautiful than she is but she’s far from plain looking. She’s no outstanding beauty but that could be blamed on the genes her mom and dad gave her. Anyway, beautiful actresses, starlets, celebrities whatever you call them are a dime a dozen. But there are so few talented actresses out there.

    Ay, totoo ka! Mukhang lalong naging promdi/katulong si Alessandra Di Rossi lalo na sa role niya as Divina sa Agua Bendita. Kaloka, kahit naman kasi maputi siya, eh mukha pa rin siyang katulong na engot... eh malamya kasi siyang kumilos at magsalita -- walang poise. I'm sure sinadya siyang maging mukhang plain and boring para sa role niya -- bagay na bagay. Kaya kahit anong gawin mo, di ka magugustuhan ni Dr. Cristy.

    i honestly hate that expression mukhang katulong by some or rather many pinoys as if its a crime to be a maid. akala mo naman ang gaganda nung mga nagsasabi nun. majority pa naman ng mga tao dito hindi naman kaputian, at nagmamaganda kung mejo maputi ng konti. but the moment they open their mouths alas lumabas ang pagkawalang breeding. well the truth is, ung katulong namen mas maganda pa sa mga ibang kaklase kong mayaman. nuff said. one thing i noticed too, ive met europeans and americans and they never described fugly people as looking like maids. rather they just call them fugly as hell. mukhang pinoys or asians (singaporeans in particular) ang mahilig gumamit ng ganitong expression.
