MANILA—A film about the ruthlessness in the entertainment industry, "General Admission" is about to spill some major tea on show business.

The movie focuses on sexy group dancer Katja (Jasmine Curtis-Smith) whose "wardrobe malfunction" places her at the center of a scandal, along with her boyfriend, Carlito (JC de Vera).

The premiere of the film last March 23 has already sent fans abuzz on social media, raving about the powerful performance of Curtis-Smith.

But besides the 2017 Metro Manila Film Festival Best Supporting Actress, there are a lot of upcoming and veteran actresses who made the movie about a female dance group more powerful.

In recognition of the female talents in the cast of the upcoming film "General Admission," let us get to know some of them.

Rosanna Roces

When we talk about powerful women in Philippine show business, there is no doubt that Roces is one of them. Popularly known as a sexy star in the 90s, Osang showed she has the chops for acting by winning awards for films such as "La Vida Rosa" (2001), "Wanted: Border" (2009), and "Presa" (2010).

After a break from show business, the veteran actress seems to have a second wind in the industry, becoming one of the more versatile stars around. In the "General Admission" film, Roces plays the role of Daisy of the fictional sexy dance group Daisy Otcho, whose member Katja becomes the center of a media circus.
