Despite Kim Chiu’s plea to Xian Lim, the latter continued to talk about his past relationship with the Kapamilya actress.

In an interview with Boy Abunda, Xian revealed that he had not talked to Kim since their breakup last year.

However, he clarified that their breakup was peaceful.

“Kasi Tito Boy, to be completely honest ever since we went our separate ways, jindi pa po kami nakakapag-usap. But we of course, when that night happened, maayos ‘yung pag-uusap namin. Of course, mayroong iyakan but there was that assurance na we went through 12 years of our existence, it has that respect,” said Xian.

He also insisted that he was not the one who decided to end their relationship.

“To be completely honest I wasn’t the one engaged in the separation, ‘yun lang po siya, it’s that simple. I know they’re saying na….” he stated.

“I wasn’t the one who initiated the breakup,” he added.

Xian was also proud that their record was clean during their 12-year relationship.

“Nag-usap kami privately. Hindi na kailangan himayin kung sino ang nag-kulang. I think the length speaks for itself, and ‘yung pambabatikos sa akin ng karamihan, I think they should look at it from us … For more than a decade, I never had any … My record is clean, and I am proud of that,” he stated.

It can be recalled that Kim already asked Xian to stop talking about their past as she wanted to maintain their respect for each other.

Miss Universe Philippines is in hot water after a Filipino designer revealed that he was not paid by the organization for the trophies he designed for this year’s pageant.

In a Facebook post, Jef Albea said that the organization “refused” to pay him for the efforts he made for the pageant.

He then declared that he would not accept any payments from MUPH and only ask them to learn how to respect the craft of being an artist.

According to him, he prioritized his project with MUPH and wasted many opportunities so he could complete his task.

“MISS UNIVERSE vanished into thin air. They refused to pay me for the trophies I designed and crafted for the coronation night. All the effort, dedication and passion I put in creating these pieces, ended up ignored and disregarded when payment was due,” Albea said.

“I do not need nor will I accept a single centavo from the organization anymore. What I need now is for them to learn that ARTISTS DESERVE RESPECT. We pour our hearts and souls into our creations. Our ideas don’t just appear from thin air just to work for an xdeal. They are the result of intense thought, deep emotions, and sleepless nights. Not to mention, opportunities missed, money and years spent honing our craft,” he added.

As of writing, Miss Universe Philippines has yet to give a statement on the issue.

The viral wedding on Amlan would reportedly be featured on the popular magazine television program Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho.

In several posts by local media, the couple on the viral wedding, Jove Deo Sagario and Janine Seit Suelto-Sagario, were spotted while being interviewed by the crew of GMA Network, which is possibly a sign that they will be featured on the magazine show.

The teaser received thousands of reactions from the netizens and hoped that KMJS would also interview the priest, as well as the “godmother” who reportedly caused the miscommunication between the parish and the couple.

They also expect the part two of the wedding to be featured on the show.

It can be recalled that the wedding went viral on social media after the couple complained on social media about how the priest, Rev. Fr. Jovencito Kho, rushed the wedding by starting the mass without waiting for the bride to reach the altar.

The parish already explained that they tried to rush things as the couple arrived an hour late, as the bride and groom thought that their ceremony was rescheduled.

The “godmother” who told the couple about the rescheduling already apologized to the couple and to the parish for the incident she caused.

Content creator Crissa Liaging published a cryptic post after Andi Eigenmann and Philmar Alipayo spoke about the incident involving the former and the professional surfer.

In a Facebook post, Crissa published a video showing her visibly upset expression.

“Nakakagigil sarap sabihin ‘yung totoo!!” Crissa wrote.

The post received criticism from the netizens, saying that she must take responsibility for the issue she started.

“Kahit sabihin mo pa ang totoo or hindi, kahit baliktarin mo pa ikaw parin may kasalanan. Kasi sumawsaw ka sa may asawa. The nerve na magapvictim,” netizen Julz said.

“Gurl you had it all coming for yourself in the first place because you know for a fact that it will stir drama, people will react to it, it would be hypocritical to say you didn’t upload it for attention. Focus ka nlg sa business, gurl, you’re thriving naman na what more can you ask for. You’re just adding fuel to the fire with all these shenanigans,” netizen Benjy remarked.

It can be recalled that Crissa posted a video of her meeting with Philmar in Siargao and added a romantic song, which quickly gained attention from the netizens.

Andi and Philmar said that they downplayed the issue.

The actress also said that she was confident that Philmar would never flirt with Crissa.

“Nakipag-usap lang. Siyempre kapag lasing, nakikipag-usap. Then, wala, uwi,” she said.

“I guess I know him well, I also knew what his type is,” she added.

Carlo Aquino’s former partner, Trina Candaza, confirmed that their daughter, Mithi, was not invited to the actor’s wedding.

According to talent manager Ogie Diaz, Trina clarified that Mithi didn’t attend the wedding, not because she didn’t allow her child to attend, but because Carlo didn’t reach out to her.

Trina said she would allow Mithi to attend if she was informed about the wedding.

“Sabi ni Trina, nasa kanya lang daw si Mithi at baka raw ‘yung iba ma-misinterpret na hindi niya pinayagan,” said Ogie.

“Si Carlo raw didn’t ask if puwedeng um-attend si Mithi. Pero kay Trina kung nagpaalala lang si Carlo, bakit naman hindi? E, hindi nga nag-reach out sa kanya,” he added.

Netizens couldn’t hide their disappointment in Carlo after they heard their side of Trina.

However, some fans believed that Carlo had a basis for why he didn’t invite Mithi to his wedding.

“May reason nman siguro kung bakit nde na pinapunta ni carlo ang anak nya. Syempre para hindi n masktan ang anak nya na hindi mami nya kinakasal sa daddy nya. Pero hindi naman siguro ibgsabhin nun eh balewala na sa ama ang anak nya,” netizen Royo said.

“Kung ako yung nanay kahit pa magsabi si Carlo, ako mismo hindi ko papayagan. Isipin mo sana ‘yung magiging reaction ng bata. Ikaw ang nanay, pero sa iba ikakasal ‘yung tatay, syempre maguguluhan pa ‘yan,” netizen Zayn commented.

It can be recalled that Carlo filed charges against Trina so he could gain visitation rights to their daughter.

Trina also said she would not allow Carlo to introduce Charlie to their child to avoid instilling “wrong values” in her.

Miss Toledo 2023 and Miss Universe Philippines 2024 contestant Kim Placibe expressed her grievance after the organizers of Miss Toledo 2024 reportedly canceled her farewell speech at the last minute of the event.

In his Facebook post, Kim called the incident “insulting” and even claimed that the organizers tried to control the things she must said during the event.

“I truly deserve better than that. I was already called ‘ungrateful’ by someone from the organization,” she said.

She believed that the decision of the organizers was influenced by the local politics in her area.

In a statement, Binibining Toledo admitted that Placibe was only informed about her possible speech a few hours before the show.

Because of the time constraints, the organizers decided not to push the farewell speech.

“Given her experience in the pageant arena, she understands the necessity of technical rehearsals for all stage proceedings, and it’s expected that she understands why her speech was not included in the program,” the organization wrote.

They also clarified that local officials were tasked to lead the coronation of winners instead of the reigning queens, which was far from the traditional practice of international and local pageants.

“This should not be a point of contention, as it has been an annual practice. The coronation of winners is a moment for the new queens and the new Binibining Toledo, and nobody should steal this moment from them, not even the previous queens, including Miss Placibe,” they said.

The “godmother” mentioned by the Parish, believed to have caused the confusion between the bride and groom at the viral wedding, spoke for the first time.

It can be recalled that the wedding of Jove Deo Sagario and Janine Seit Suelto-Sagario went viral on social media after footage published by the couple showed how the assistant priest of St. Andrew Parish in Amlan started the mass without waiting for the bride to reach the altar.

The issue caused the parish to be criticized on social media, which prompted the Diocese of Dumaguete to release an apology to the public and to the people involved on the issue.

They explained that someone told the couple that their wedding was rescheduled to 9:30 A.M from its original schedule of 8:00 A.M, but in reality, there was no change of schedule happened according to the official records of the parish.

For the first time, the “Godmother,” Charlene Sunico, ended her silence for the first time to explain the cause of the confusion that led to the disappointing wedding.

Sunico, who’s also serving at the Parish, said that she was informed by his churchmate about the said rescheduling and told the couple about it.

She refused to name the said churchmate and decided to just take all the blame.

After the wedding, she apologized to the couple and their family, as well as to the wedding guests and to the priest herself.

Sunico asked the public to stop criticizing the priest as she was the one who caused the confusion.
