Donny Pangilinan & Kyle Echarri’s “Roja” Takes the #1 Spot on Netflix Philippines
The Philippines has a new hit action series — and it comes in the form of Donny Pangilinan and Kyle Echarri's intense Kapamilya drama “Roja”, which claimed the #1 Top TV Show spot on Netflix Philippines this week.
Premiering on November 21, the series immediately gained traction for its fast-paced action, hostage-crisis plot, and the surprising chemistry between Donny and Kyle, both stepping into gritty, physical roles unlike anything they've done before.
The two actors expressed their excitement about the show’s warm reception:
“It’s all worth it. We’re very happy,” said Donny.
Behind-the-scenes footage also revealed Donny and Kyle undergoing weapons training with Coco Martin and Jake Cuenca, who helped refine their gun-handling, stance, and emotional delivery for high-stakes action sequences.
Kyle shared:
“I’ve never been a part of this intense type of action. They gave us notes on how to portray different levels of anger, stance, and movement.”
“Roja” tells the story of Liam (Donny) and Dean (Kyle), former best friends forced to face conflict, trauma, and a hostage situation inside a luxury resort — a premise that hooked viewers instantly.
With its rise to Netflix’s top spot and ongoing buzz online, “Roja” marks a new milestone in Filipino action-drama, proving that Pinoy productions can compete not just locally — but globally.

In the middle of circulating accounts, veteran talent manager Annabelle Rama expressed concern and disappointment over how Sarah was allegedly treated.

Her reaction amplified the emotional weight of the situation and placed public focus on the actress’s well-being.
As of this writing, no official statement has been made by Sarah Lahbati or the establishment involved. The details remain unverified, but the incident has already sparked public debate — with some expressing sympathy, others urging caution, and many waiting for clarification.

Ellen Adarna Drops “Ramsay” from Instagram — When Silence Speaks Louder Than Words 💔
Showbiz circles are buzzing again — and this time, it’s about Ellen Adarna.
On October 23, netizens spotted that the actress had dropped the surname “Ramsay” from her Instagram bio, sparking fresh talk about a rumored split from husband Derek Ramsay.
While the couple has faced speculation before, this recent change revived curiosity online, leaving fans wondering: Is it just a name tweak, or a quiet message hidden in plain sight? 👀
🎭 WHAT HAPPENED
The latest name change comes only a month after Derek addressed similar breakup rumors sparked by a blind item online.
In a now-expired Instagram story, he clarified:
“There’s no truth to anything that was said. That’s it.”
Ellen herself also brushed off the gossip earlier, saying:
“Tigilan niyo na kami ha. Dami na fake news ekeklavooo.”
The couple, who tied the knot in Bagac, Bataan in 2021, is set to mark their fourth wedding anniversary next month.
Recently, Ellen celebrated the first birthday of their daughter Liana, while Derek shared a heartfelt message for their little one on his own page.
🕊️ THE SILENCE THAT SPEAKS
To many fans, Ellen’s decision to remove her husband’s surname felt symbolic.
But whether it’s a digital refresh or a quiet form of self-expression, one thing’s clear — social media doesn’t always tell the whole story.
In a world where everything is performed online, silence can feel louder than any post.
Maybe it’s not a statement of separation, but a reminder that some parts of love deserve privacy, not performance.
🙏 FAITH MEETS FACTS: A REFLECTION
The truth is, even public figures face storms behind the spotlight.
Their followers may see luxury, smiles, and curated posts — but only God sees the weight of the moments in-between.
So before we scroll and judge, may we pause and pray —
for peace in their hearts, for truth to prevail,
and for the kind of love that stays grounded even when tested by rumors. 💔
📖 BIBLE VERSE:
“The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart;
and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.”
— Psalm 34:18 (KJV)
✍️ CLOSING THOUGHT:
Whether it’s a name, a headline, or a silence —
every story reminds us that faith is the real foundation of forever.
💫 This is Politikanta Minute — where faith meets facts, and truth finds grace.
