Showbiz industry may look all glamorous and perfect on the screens but behind the limelight, fame and fortune are uncertain especially for a bunch of celebrities sharing one spotlight. This is perhaps the reason why some stars decide to have another plan for themselves other than acting and singing. While some of them stay in the industry until they grow old. Other celebrities have chosen to settle down and pursue their other passion.
In the Philippines, dramas on television became part of the Filipinos’ daily routine. Once an artist suddenly goes off air, the viewers may wonder what happened to them. Some may be curious on what made them leave the celebrity life. You might be surprised to see some of them living their lives in California!
