MANILA — Beauty queen-actress Pia Wurtzbach was the highest earning Instagram user from the Philippines in 2021, according to a study that factors in personalities’ following and sponsored posts.

The Miss Universe 2015 titlist is the lone Filipino celebrity included in the international list, titled “Which Celebrity Earns the Most from Instagram in The World,” released by NetCredit early this month.

According to the Chicago-based lender group came up with the list, Wurtzbach earned USD 3,669,205 or around P216 million through Instagram in 2021 alone.

Explaining its methodology, NetCredit said it first listed the most followed celebrities on Instagram from every country, then identified which of their posts from 2021 are ads or sponsored.

The group calculated the earnings by cross-referencing its list with figures from HopperHQ’s “Instagram Rich List,” which indicates the cost a celebrity could charge for an Instagram ad. In cases where the celebrity is not part of the “Rich List,” NetCredit used “Random Forest,” described as a statistical method that calculates the average cost per follower.

As the Philippines’ top Instagram earner, Wurtzbach is listed alongside international stars like the United States’ Ellen Degeneres (USD 33,723,706), Canada’s Justin Bieber (USD 4,427,738), the UK’s Dua Lipa (USD 13,046,529), Thailand’s Lisa of Blackpink (USD 8,760,460) and South Korea’s Jisoo also of Blackpink (USD 18,896,411).

Ranking first and second overall are football superstars: Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo (USD 85,217,365) and Argentina’s Lionel Messi (USD 71,963l449).

Fans were on their toes awaiting the release of the live-action counterpart of manga-turned-anime-turned film Cells At Work! Its release was announced last year and received well when it debuted in Japan. Now, the wait is finally over as the movie has made its way to our cinemas starting January 29.

Starring Mei Nagano as Red Blood Cell AE3803 and Takeru Satō as White Blood Cell U-1146, Cells at Work brings viewers to the happenings within our body. Through this adaptation, directed by Hideki Takeuchiwe’re all invited to a sneak peek into the world of the cells, doubling as a refresher on the different roles of each cell inside our bodies. Think of it as Biology 101, but a fun crash course into it—mixing drama, comedy, and action, as well as learning within its more-than-two-hour run. 





But apart from putting the spotlight on our hardworking cells, the live-action version also follows the funny and heartwarming story of the humans these cells work for. Cells at Work is also a tale of a father and daughter with different lifestyles, zooming in on good and bad habits, as well as unexpected health occurrences that greatly affect the human body. 

Even without watching the anime or reading the manga, Cells At Work live-action proves to be an easy watch, with a good plot, thrilling combat scenes, and inspiring dialogue that both kids and kids-at-heart will love and appreciate. While there are notable parts where the storyline could be expanded more or characters that could have been further utilized, it made up in its focus on its main narrative—and lays its message clear and easy to digest.
