Lalake na hinarurot ang motor sa loob ng Taal Basilica, inamin na bangag sa ipinagbabawal na gamot

The 23-year-old man who went viral on social media after he drove his motorcycle inside the 160-year-old Taal Basilica and even committed such stunts by sitting on the priest’s chair.

The video already reached millions of views on different social media platforms.

The suspect, who was seen committing the said acts together with his partner, was already detained at the Taal Municipal Station for different charges, including a violation against Article 133 of the Revised Penal Code for offending religious feelings.

During an interview, the suspect said that he committed the said acts as his devotion to his partner by bringing her to the altar in a unique way.

He also admitted that he was under the influence of an illegal substance at that time.

According to PCPT. Rommel Magno, officer-in-charge of Taal Municipal Station, the suspect was still not sound when they were trying to ask him information about his motives.

“Sa ngayon hindi pa natin makausap nang maayos ‘yung suspek. Iba-iba ang mga isinasagot niya. Hindi pa natin ma-establish kung ano talaga ang dahilan bakit niya ipinasok ang motor. Malayo ang sagot niya sa mga tanong,” said Magno.

As of writing, the Taal Basilica has yet to give any statement on the incident.

 

Buboy Villar, sinabing nagpapadala siya noon ng P120,000 kada buwan para sa kanyang mga anak

Actor and television host Buboy Villar defended himself from the accusations he received from his ex-partner, Angillyn Gorens, who claimed that he was not giving enough support to their children.

In an interview with Boy Abunda, the former host of Tahanang Pinakamasaya denied the allegations, saying that his financial support to his children even reached P120,000 monthly during the peak of his career.

However, the pandemic severely affected his income, forcing him to lower his monthly financial support from P45,000 to P60,000.

He believed that the decrease in the monthly support he was sending was the reason why the camp of his former partner filed a complaint against him.

“‘Yung legal po [nagtanong], sabi ko, ‘Ma’am ito po ‘yung sahod ko po sa isang show, ito rin po’ yung sahod ko sa isang show, ayoko rin po mag-isip na si Angillyn aksi wala naman po akong hinihingi na dun sa nanay, wala naman po akong nire-request dun sa nanay,” he said.

The negotiation ended with Buboy being obligated to send a monthly child support of P25,000, plus the expenses that his children would require to pay for their education.

It can be recalled that Angillyn’s camp criticized Buboy for allegedly not sending enough support to his children.

Angillyn even said that she was paying two nannies for their children.

Justice Hall ng Bacolod, nagbukas para i-inquest ang driver na nakabundol sa isang retiradong heneral

The Justice Hall of Bacolod City opened at an unusual hour to accommodate the request of a retired general to put a company driver under inquest proceedings on April 4, 2025.

According to the reports, Retired General Lope Ma Lim, a resident of Sorsogon, was in Bacolod City to attend an event when the company driver, Romer Estrada, hit the box of Lim’s motorcycle around 12:14 noon.

Lim insisted on holding Estrada accountable for reckless imprudence resulting in physical injuries and property damage, and brought the latter to the hall of justice around 11:30 P.M. for inquest proceedings.

The proceedings ended around 1:30 A.M, April 5.

The retired general said that the damage to his motorcycle was estimated to be P387,000.

Meanwhile, Estrada, who was brought to the hospital but still considered detained, said that the blotter report contradicted what happened.

According to him, the retired general approached at high speed, prompting him to immediately step on the brakes, which prevented a more serious outcome.

Estrada’s attorney also accused the retired general of receiving preferential treatment due to his past position.

“Clearly, the police favored the ex-general without giving the accused a chance to be heard,” Atty. Ariel Caldit, Estrada’s lawyer, told a local news outlet.

Meanwhile, a prosecutor from Bacolod City explained that suspects were required to be brought in for inquest within the reglementary period, which explains why the hall of justice opened even at midnight.

“It is NOT UNUSUAL for Prosecutors to conduct their duty in the evening, at midnight or early in the morning when everybody is all sound asleep BECAUSE they are concerned that the person is temporarily deprived of his liberty and have to determine whether there is a ground for his continued detention,” the prosecutor said.

However, the suspect insisted that he was the one who was forced to defend himself as the victims were already ganging up on him.

Meanwhile, the authorities have already upgraded the case as one of the victims has already passed away.

Pamilya ng mag-amang biktima ng SUV driver, sumisigaw ng hustisya

Relatives of the motorcycle riders who became victims of an SUV driver who used his weapon during a traffic argument were seeking justice for what happened to their two family members.

It can be recalled that riders Patrick, 22, and Peter, 52, were among the victims, who were seen having an argument with the suspect, Kenneth, due to a disagreement on traffic rules last weekend in Antipolo City.

Peter didn’t survive the wound he sustained, while his son, Patrick, was already recovering from the incident.

The relatives of the victims said that they’re not open to settling with Kenneth as they wanted the suspect to be held accountable for his actions.

The suspect would face multiple charges that may give him decades of serving behind bars.

Kenneth insisted that he only defended himself as he was already being ganged up on.

“Hindi ko naman po talaga sinasadya po Ma’am, nadala lang po talaga ako ng emosyon,” said Kenneth.

Meanwhile, several netizens said that the incident was a reminder of how a traffic argument could ruin someone’s life if not handled properly.

“Parehong mainit ang ulo walang nagbigayan eh. Yung 5-10 minutes na init ng ulo can change a lifetime, pwedeng makasira ng buhay talaga kaya lesson learned din lalo na sa mga maangas sa daan,” a netizen said.

“Inuna niya pagkainit sa ulo hindi na inisip dala niya pamilya niya.. Ayun tuloy misis ang natamaan nang ligaw na bala,” netizen Aldrin commented.

Foreign vlogger na nang-trip sa mga Pilipino, posibleng maghimas ng rehas sa Pilipinas

The Russian-American vlogger who went viral on social media after making several Filipinos the subject of his pranks may not be deported without serving jail time in the Philippines.

Bureau of Immigration spokesperson Dana Sandoval said that Vitaly Zdorovetskiy may not be deported yet while they are waiting for complaints against the vlogger.

It can be recalled that Zdorovetskiy’s video, which allegedly made fun of an old woman, a security guard, a tricycle driver, and a surfing business employee in different instances, went viral on social media and received criticism from netizens.

According to Sandoval, Zdorovetskiy was not allowed to leave the country once the charges were officially filed against him.

“Kung mayroon po siyang local case dito sa Pilipinas, aandar din po yun kasabay ng deportation case. Kung sakali pong magkaroon siya ng local case at siya po ay hatulan ng pagkakabilanggo dito sa Pilipinas, kailangan muna niya pong hintayin ‘yun…at mabilanggo siya dito sa Pilipinas bago natin ma-implement ang deportation,” said Sandoval.

PNP already filed cybercrime, theft, and unjust vexation charges against Zdorovetskiy, but BI encouraged other victims to do the same.

Aside from Zdorovetskiy, the authorities also pursued the Filipino cameraman of the vlogger.

“Nakikipag-coordinate kami sa hotel kung saan sila nakatira. Yun ang hinahabol namin ngayon, maihabol [sa kaso] yung Pilipinong kasama ni Vitaly,” she said.

Mga senador, sinabing hindi sakop ng executive privilege si Gen. Torre

Several senators, including Alan Peter Cayetano, insisted that CIDG Director Major General Nicolas Torre III cannot impose executive privilege.

During the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations’ investigation into the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte, Cayetano said that unless President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. directed Torre not to attend, he had no right to refuse the lawmakers’ invitation.

“He’s not covered by Executive Privilege, unless the president talked to him directly,” said Cayetano.

Torre was among the officials who refused to attend the continuation of the hearing.

The official was one of the key personalities present during the arrest of the former President.

He was the one who implemented the order to bring the former President to an airplane to the Hague.

Torre also received criticism from the lawmakers after admitting that he used force when it was already time for the former president to board the plane.

Rider community, nagdalamhati sa pagpanaw ng motovlogger na si Peter

The motorcycle community mourned the passing of the motovlogger who passed away after being involved in a road rage incident in Antipolo last week.

On March 31, 2025, Antipolo PNP official Police Lt. Col. Ryan Manongdo confirmed that ‘Alyas Peter,’ a 52-year-old motovlogger, succumbed to his head injury.

As a motovlogger, Peter also documented the incident.

Peter, wearing a helmet, could be seen arguing with the suspect who was wearing a white shirt.

“Hanggang sa huling byahe mo, gusto sana natin kumita sa reels kaso nauna kana sa heaven,” netizen Ecoy said.

However, some members of the riding community also saw the incident as a lesson to other motorcycle riders to avoid involving themselves in traffic arguments.

“Ayaw kasi paawat. Mas maganda daw pag tulong tulong. Kaya ko pag may hataw na suv hyaan na lang motor lang gamit Isa sagi ka lang slide ka. At isipin may bakal dala kaya maangas.. un nga kasagupa ng parehas maiksi pisi,” netizen Christopher commented.

RIP nalng sayo manong dahil sa ngyari na yan marami na siguro magbbwas ng kayabangan sa kalsada,” netizen Vhanjohn remarked.

The argument started when the suspect, Kenneth, who was riding an SUV, brought his weapon after engaging in a brief slugfest with the other victims, who were also identified as motorcycle riders.

The charges against Kenneth were expected to become more severe after Peter’s passing.

A Russian-American streamer who visited the Philippines was facing possible charges for his public pranks along the areas of Bonifacio Global City in Taguig and in Boracay Island.

In a video published on social media by Net Klips, Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, owner of the streaming channel VitalyzdTv, was seen performing pranks on innocent residents and employees of BGC.

One of Zdorovetskiy’s victims was a woman whom he threatened to rob, and offered her money, but when she refused, the streamer started to mock her for wearing a mask.

“You liberal f*ck,” the streamer told the woman.

Another incident showed Zdorovetskiy stealing the cap of a security guard in one of BGC’s malls.

When the security guard tried to approach him, the streamer could be heard trying to tease the officer.

Meanwhile, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) reminded tourists like Zdorovetskiy to respect the laws of the Philippines.

The agency also hinted that they were already investigating the streamer, but refused to give more information about their next step.

Zdorovetskiy was already notorious in some of the countries he visited.

He was already put behind bars in Egypt for climbing the Pyramids of Giza and invading a football match in Brazil in 2014.

Jojo Mendrez, nagsampa ng reklamo laban kay Mark Herras

Singer Manuel Padillo Tan, also known as Jojo Mendrez, filed charges against actor and dancer Mark Herras on March 31, 2025.

According to the reports, Jojo expressed utter concern when Mark made a joke that he would burn his house if he ever start ignoring the actor.

“Susunugin ko ang bahay mo kung eechepwera mo ako,” Jojo said.

Jojo revealed that Mark asked him for money several times, which gave him a hint that the threat he received was a hint that the latter would do another such request again.

“Dahil sa matinding pagbabanta na ito, naisip ko agad na manghihingi na naman sa akin ito ng pera tulad ng kanyang nakagawian na gawin sa akin para manahimik siya at hindi niya ako takutin at gambalain. Ang perang nabigay ko na sa kanya ay walang anumang kapalit,” said Jojo in a statement.

Jojo’s lawyer reminded the public that Mark’s action was wrong.

“Hindi tama ang magbabanta ka or anything to anybody or threaten anybody sa kanyang person o sa kanyang property at hindi po iyon tama at mayroon tayong laws na covered by revised penal code on this,” Atty. Pauline Advicula said.

It can be recalled that Mark and Jojo became close this year, and the latter was even seen together entering a hotel room.

The singer even vowed that he would take care of Mark.

There were also reports that Jojo asked Mark to stop performing in a popular gay bar.

Jojo and Mark’s sweetness to each other sparked discussion about the real relationship between the two.
