Most read

It is amusing to find that under the "most read" category of The Philippine Daily Inquirer's online version for today, are showbusiness articles. Filipinos really need a great dose of entertainment whether it is good or bad. Showbusiness in the Philippines is more than a just entertainment - it is a form of escape from the realities government bring to the tired readers.

The list below is the actual "most read" articles. The internet readers read about Rudy Fernandez's condition, Judy Ann's probable transfer from Abs-cbn to GMA 7.
