Barbie Imperial shared that she didn’t believe in second chances between two former partners.

In an interview, she was asked if she believed in the saying, “Love is lovelier the second time around,”

However, she explained that she didn’t believe in reconciliation with a former romantic partner, as they already had a chance to fix it while they were still in a relationship.

“Based on experience, wala naman akong binalikan ever na ex. Dun na lang tayo sa experience na parang hindi na. Kasi nung time na yun na magkasama kami, sana yun na yung time na okay lahat. Na dun gagawin kung anuman ipu-prove ganito-ganyan. Parang you had your shot.” she said.

“I mean, Lord, please guide me. Sana wala na talaga!” she added.

She insisted that a breakup would never happen if they were really willing to fix their differences.

“That’s why maganda nga na good breakup talaga. As if nag-away na kayo, siraan, ganito, ganyan, parang ang hirap magkabalikan talaga,” she said.

“Pero yun nga, ulitin ko lang answer ko. For me, nandun ka na, e, sa time na magkasama tayo, sana dun mo ginawa. If wala na, if big reason na ng paghiwalay namin, mahirap kasi sa akin na tanggapin yung mga bagay na nangyari,” she added.

Barbie was being linked to Richard Gutierrez, who recently separated from his former partner, Sarah Lahbati.

However, Barbie has not confirmed the rumors about her and the Kapamily actor.

Piolo Pascual and Shaina Magdayao have become one of the top topics of the netizens in recent days due to their rumored romance.

The rumor started when a netizen shared a photo of Piolo and Shaina while vacationing in Bohol with other celebrities like Raymart Santiago.

Some netizens even speculated that Piolo and Shaina were already expecting a child, but the actor clarified that there’s nothing true about it.

“Sabi ko, di ko kayo nasabihan. Sini-secret talaga namin, e. Ha-hahaha! Know for yourself, ‘di ba? Buti pa kayo alam,” said Piolo.

When asked about their real relationship, Piolo only said that they’re very close to each other.

“No, we’re good friends. Shaina and I are friends for so long since we were kids. Kasi child star pa lang nakikita ko na,’di ba?” said Piolo.

He added, “We have a good relationship, I could say, and once we are in front of the camera, we are professional. Shaina Magdayao, take one ‘yan,” he said.

However, some netizens are still not convinced that Piolo and Shaina were friends only, saying that their gestures to each other tell a different story.

The two were rumored to be dating since 2012, but some entertainment writers described the relationship as ‘no label.’

Former Eat Bulaga host Isabelle Daza went viral on social media after some airline passengers spotted her while she was working as a flight attendant at Cebu Pacific.

Several social media posts showed Isabelle wearing a flight attendant uniform and actively assisting the passengers throughout the flight.

One of the uploaders of the video, San Dy, said that the flight was from Davao to Manila on May 20, 2024.

“Our flight back to Manila with our gorgeous flight attendant. @isabelledaza thank you,” the netizen wrote.

Netizens couldn’t stop asking if Isabelle already shifted career since leaving Eat Bulaga and one who expressed sadness after the longest-running noontime show left GMA Network and TAPE Inc.

They also praised her looks, saying she was fit to become a flight attendant due to her beauty and communication skills.

It can be recalled that Isabelle became a host of Eat Bulaga for three years.

However, some believed Isabelle may only be working with Cebu Pacific for a campaign.

“Her husband is the managing director of Puma (HK and Macau..based on a LinkedIn account), so maybe it is for marketing purposes,” a netizen said.

As of this writing, Isabelle has yet to give any details on whether she’s now working as a flight attendant or partnering with Cebu Pacific.

A director couldn’t hide his disappointment in the storyline of the Kapamilya program, FPJ’s Batang Quiapo.

In his Facebook post, Director Ronaldo Carballo criticized the production staff of Batang Quiapo due to its poor script.

According to him, the flow of the show was already repetitive.

“Juiceku! Saan ba nag-aral ng Scriptwriting ang mga gunggong na writers na ito? Kapag naipakita na visually sa eksena previously, hindi na ito dapat ikwento thru pagkahaba-habang monologue,” he wrote.

“Wala na lahat itong katuturan. Wala nang saysay yang pagkukuwento mo kay Bubbles, Tanggol. Nakita na sa previous scenes ng paulit-ulit yang mga ikinukuwento mo, Tanggol,” he added.

He even called out Batang Quiapo’s leading actor and director, Coco Martin, for his acting skills.

“Hindi na yan nakaaantig at all, kahit mag-OA ka pa sa kadadrama dyan. Na nagvu-voice acting ka pa ngang umiiyak ka, Tanggol. Pero wala kang luha,” Carballo told the actor.

“Nakaka-destruct din sa akting no yung plantsadung-plantsado ang buhok mo, at ang ganda pa rin ng make-up mo na di ka man lang pinawisan. Samantalang you had a very long day,” he added.

As of writing, the people behind Batang Quiapo has yet to give a response to the comment made by the director.

Veteran actress Divina Valencia appealed to the organizers of the 72nd Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences (FAMAS) to reimburse the money spent by Eva Darren during her preparation as a presenter of the awards night.

It can be recalled that Eva was reportedly replaced at the last minute during the controversial event, which prompted thousands of netizens to criticize FAMAS.

The incident was revealed by Eva’s son, who said that the veteran actress had spent money and effort and believed that she would present the awards at the event.

Divina, Eva’s close friend, believed it would be better for FAMAS to return the expenses made by Eva.

“Masakit para sa anak, at sa mga apo na inaasahan nila na gumastos ng ganoon [sa] make-up, hairdo, damit, driver, gas, etc. Dapat lang Madam FAMAS, ibalik mo lahat nang nagastos ni Miss Eva Darren. ‘Yong kahihiyan hindi niya na maibabalik ‘yon, habambuhay nang kahihiyan ‘yon. At hindi lang sa kaniya, kundi kahihiyan ng anak niya at mga apo niya,” Divina said.

As of this writing, there is still no clear explanation of how the incident happened.

According to their statement, FAMAS replaced Eva because they couldn’t find her at the venue.

However, the 72nd FAMAS social media manager, Johnrey Rivas, claimed that Eva was not approved to become the presenter of the show and was replaced by Nova Villa, who was also replaced at the last minute due to her request.

FAMAS has yet to give a response to Divina’s request.

A vlogger who’s known for being “close” to entrepreneur Deo Balbuena, better known as Diwata, was surprised by the internet sensation.

In a vlog, Alvin TV, one of the content creators known for intensively covering Diwata’s daily activities, received a car from the entrepreneur.

The said car was the old sedan previously used by Diwata.

Before handling the car, Diwata also ensured that the vehicle was in good condition and even made efforts to make it pristine.

“Kasi ito nga, kaya nga sabi ko may surprise ako, eto seryoso, ibibigay ko na to sayo kasi diba mag isa lang din naman ako tapos ang una kasi na rason, napapabayaan ko na siya at tyaka syempre yung parkingan tapos masisira lang,” Diwata told Alvin.

Diwata also shared a short history of his vehicle.

“What is the reason kasi para sa di nakakaalam kung bakit ako bumili ng sasakyan, dahil dati pagkatapos kong magtinda malayo ang bahay ko from QC ang bahay ko tapos Pasay ako nagbibusiness, medyo malayo talaga at tsaka pagod na ako nung mga araw na yun di ko na kaya umuwe sa bahay kasi sobrang pagod na ngayon bumili ako ng sasakyan para safe yung gamit ko, maging safe ako na walang mawawala kasi pagtapos ko magtinda natutulog lang ako sa gilid ng tindahan,” he stated.

Diwata also explained why he decided to give Alvin his old car.

“Si Alvin kasi guys malaki din yung naging part niya sa akin nung na kasama ko siya, kung san kami punta. Kung baga nag i edit siya ng aking mga vlog kasi wala akong alam pag dating sa cellphone. So, nagdecide ako kung meron man akong bibigyan kasi nakatulong naman si Alvin sakin, kay Alvin ko ibibigay,” he stated.

Alvin and Diwata were rumored to be in a relationship after they traveled to General Santos City together last month.

Philmar Alipayo finally spoke on the issue he faced after a content creator uploaded their meeting on social media.

It can be recalled that content creator Crissia Liaging published a video during her meeting with Philmar in Siargao, which gained millions of views and mixed reactions due to the background music she used.

The video gained different interpretation from some netizens as she used a romantic song while showing her encounter with Philmar.

Entertainment reporter Boy Abunda shared that Philmar drank during that time, which explained his gestures with Crissia.

At first, Philmar and his partner, Andi Eigenmann, laughed when the video was uploaded. However, it became too serious when some people had already repurposed the content.

“What happened was, Philmar drank, had a friendly conversation with this girl on the video, and that’s it, according to Philmar and Andi,” said Tito Boy. “Kaya ‘nung una nilang nakita ang video, nagtawanan lang sila ni Andi, but what bothered them, it was edited and uploaded to create an issue,”

The issue prompted Andi to release a statement and criticize the people who created an issue over the video.

“He can go out with his friends, go drinking every once in a while, and chat with whoever he wants. No harm in that. What’s shameful is purposely posting and editing a video to cause a stir, disturbing the peace of people and dragging them into their negativity, just for some social media attention,” said Andi.

Meanwhile, Crissia also clarified that she didn’t mean anything when she uploaded the video.

“Hindi totoo ang inyong iniisip at hindi totoo ang mga naglalabasang isyu sa social media,” she said.

Veteran columnist Cristy Fermin ended her silence on the multiple charges she received from different celebrities due to her statements on her online program.

GMA News interviewed Cristy about the charges she received from Dominic Roque.

However, Cristy didn’t expect that even Dominic would file charges against her and only informed about it online.

The veteran columnist said that she was waiting for the subpoena for the charges filed against her by Bea Alonzo.

However, Cristy expressed confidence that she could successfully defend herself.

“Hindi ko pa alam eh,” said Fermin. “‘Yung kay Bea nga, hindi pa kami nag-start, hindi pa namin nakukuha ‘yung subpoena,”

“Karapatan naman nila ‘yan. Karapatan nila ‘yan basta tignan na lang natin kung ano ang mangyayari kapagka nagsagutan na, ‘di ba?” she added.

Cristy said that she would release a statement once she received the subpoena.

Aside from Dominic and Bea, Sarah Lahbati’s mother, Esther Lahbati, Kiko Pangilinan, and Sharon Cuneta also filed the exact charges against Cristy.

It can be recalled that the veteran columnist was known for her claims about celebrities and didn’t filter what she knew about them.

Money Garland became trending again on social media after several parents gave it to their children who just graduated from their school.

However, the said trend gained different reactions from the netizens and even from teachers as they believed that Money Garland was a sign of a lack of sensitivity by some parents who only wanted to flex their wealth.

It can be recalled that Money Garland also went viral last year as several content creators made it as a gift to their relatives who graduated.

One of those content creators is Christian Merck Grey, who also reposted the photo taken when his brother received the money garland worth P1-M from him.

It was Christian’s reaction to the criticism being received by the trend from the netizens.

“Congrats brother! Wala ehh. Mayabangg kuya mo,” Christian wrote.

Meanwhile, several netizens tried to compare people like Christian to Manny Pacquiao, who’s one of the richest people in the country.

In the said photo, Pacquiao was shown attending the graduation of his daughter Mary from an international school.

“Very humble ang anak ng bilyonaryo nagtapos sa Brent International School Manila. No money garland that is five meters long. She’s only holding a bouquet. We should all be like this, simply giving gifts to our children in public places,” a netizen said.

“Graduation. Walang perang display. Walang money bouquet, walang money garland. Just like the good old days na wala pang social media,” another netizen commented.

Meanwhile, the Department of Education (DepEd) has yet to give a statement regarding the said trend.
