Janna Dominguez, Vannesa Hudgens, Bea Binene, Rica Peralejo topped the trending searches last week followed by GMA and Dengue. Nothing beats the issue of CCP and its controversial kulto art.

Christian Baustita, I will find an extra time anytime next week to see your international film (hope it's still showing in theaters).

The CCP eventually closed down following a public outrage and vandalism.

5. Bea Binene: Aside from being in the cast of the movie Tween Academy: Class of 2012, Kapuso tween star Bea Binene will also star in the upcoming afternoon drama series Pahiram ng Isang Ina with Jhake Vargas. Bea plays an orphan who competes for the love of her adopted mother from the real son Jhake. In real life, Bea is blessed to have a mother, but her father left home on Father’s Day and Bea does not know his whereabouts, though she texts him from time to time.
6. Rica Peralejo: The showbiz star, who has been out of the limelight for some time, remains a favorite among Yahoo! Search users. In a recent interview with Yahoo OMG!, Rica said she doesn’t mind being obscure from public view. She admitted that showbiz caused her much pain, but she remains thankful to her fans for their support. Now a literature student at the Ateneo de Manila, Rica recently went back to acting via ABS-CBN’s 100 Days to Heaven. She is married to Pastor Joseph Bonifacio, who also trended on Yahoo! a few days ago.
7. Christian Bautista: Popular singer Christian Bautista’s first international movie, “Special Symphony,” which was produced in Indonesia, opened in the Philippines on August 3.

Arroyo, who is accused of rigging the 2004 presidential elections, is facing a series of plunder cases and remains on immigration watch list.
9. Planking: Months after an Australian man fell to his death after planking on the railings of a seventh-floor balcony, the Internet fad continues to spike on Yahoo! Search. The action of lying face down with arms to the sides of the body in public spaces and photographing it, took off when an Australian rugby league star planked on the ground on live television and later repeated the stunt on a television anchor’s desk.
10. Dengue: Dengue outbreak spiked on Yahoo! Search but the good news is that of the 45,333 reported cases this year, it has seen over 30% reduction from those reported in the same period last year, stated a report by The Department of Health (DOH). The DOH Assistant Secretary Eric Tayag said a dengue vaccine may be available before its 2014 target release.
