Ogie Diaz revealed that Ivana Alawi ignored him during his visit to FPJ Batang Quiapo’s set.

In his online program, Ogie shared his experience during his visit to Quiapo to check out one of his talents, Kim Rodriguez, who’s also part of the program.

According to Ogie, he tried to approach Ivana, but the actress didn’t respond nicely.

“Bineso ko eh, dedma… eh nahiya na ko noh, baka naman ano, sobrang lang siyang pinapawisan that time… kaya focus na focus siya ‘dun sa electric fan niya,” he said.

When his co-host asked him about the possible reason for Ivana’s treatment of him, Ogie only mentioned that it might be connected to one of the issues he discussed about the actress.

It can be recalled that Ogie was the one who discussed Ivana’s travel to Japan, where she was also spotted at the airport together with Bacolod Mayor Albee Benitez.

“Dapat ay linawin ni Ivana. Sa ganda ng kanyang income, sa ganda ng kanyang career, e bakit kailangan pang sumuot dito? Kung siya nga ‘yung tinutukoy ah,” he said.

Both Ivana and Benitez denied that they were dating each other.

“I apologize to Ms. Alawi and her family, who have been unfairly dragged into issues concerning my private life. There is no truth to any and all the rumors spreading,” said Benitez.

A woman captured the attention of It’s Showtime host, Vice Ganda, during its May 23, 2024 episode.

In the episode, Vice is talking to his co-hosts and contestants of ‘Karaokids’ when he notices a woman who resembles Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo.

“Gusto muna nating i-acknowledge ang presence… excuse me,” said Vice. “Mayor, thank you so much for gracing our show,” 

Amy Perez and other It’s Showtime co-hosts quickly told Vice he was referring to the wrong person.

However, Vice didn’t stop talking to the woman.

“Buti na lang naalala mo ang daan papunta rito,” Vice told the women, referring to Guo’s viral statement about forgetting her past.

“Dito kasi siya nag-aral. Nasaan na si Teacher Rubilyn?” he added.

The woman quickly got along with Vice.

“Hindi ko na po maalala,” she responded.

“Saan ba talaga nakatira si Teacher Rubilyn?” Vice asked the woman again.

“Your honor, hindi ko na po maalala,” she said.

The incident gave laughs to the viewers of It’s Showtime.

Meanwhile, the real Alice Guo was facing an investigation due to her refusal to give clear information about her past.

It can be recalled that the public questioned Guo’s citizenship and unexplained wealth.

Kiko Estrada didn’t hesitate to answer if he would accept any project to reunite with his ex-girlfriend, Heaven Peralejo.

In an interview with the press on May 22, 2024, Kiko said that he was not willing to work with his ex-girlfriend despite being in the same agency.

“I don’t know. Actually, I just wish her the best, but maybe I have my own thing, and she has her own thing. I mean, for me, it’s just work, but I don’t want any stress in my life,” he said.

“‘Coz this Lumuhod Ka sa Lupa came from peace, came from peace of mind, came from rebirth, if you wanna call it. A new version of yourself that you’re trying to be, a good actor. So let me be that first and let’s focus on the rest.” he added.

In 2021, Heaven confirmed her separation from Kiko.

“I want to learn independence [and] enjoy life. I don’t need any relationship. I just need my friends, and I just need me. I am really happy right now, super happy. As in, walang bigat sa puso ko, nandoon ako sa phase na ‘yon,” she said.

The separation comes six months after the two celebrities confirmed their relationship.

A fashion writer couldn’t stop but notice the outfit being worn by Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo, who’s also facing controversy for her shady background.

It can be recalled that Guo’s citizenship was questioned as she couldn’t give clear information about her past.

Aside from her nationality, Guo also faces grilling on how she acquired her wealth despite her claims that she came from a poor family.

Ingrid Baghag, a fashion writer for Vogue Hong Kong, published one of the photos of Guo showing her outfit, which, according to her, would cost more than an expensive h

The photo shows Guo wearing a Bulgari Serpenti Viper Necklace, Bulgari Serpeti Viper Ring, Cartier De Panthere Ring, Bulgari Serpenti Viper Bracelet, and Ralph Lauren Check Plaid Midi Dress.

Her calculation concluded that the “OOTD” of Guo in the photo costs 17,258,900.

Baghag questioned how an official from a rural town acquired such wealth.

“She a mayor of a town that’s not swimming in wealth (shady), & 2nd, she has amazingly made Bulgari, Cartier + all her other expensive designer stuff look cheap. I hate the Serpenti even more now coz of her,” she wrote.

It can be recalled that aside from her expensive wardrobe, Guo also owned a helicopter.

Miss Universe Philippines 2022 Celeste Cortesi captured the attention of the netizens after she published a cryptic post after the announcement of Miss Universe Philippines 2024 winners.

Through Instagram and X, Celeste expressed her confusion about the prestigious event held last Wednesday.

“WHAT JUST HAPPENED #muph2024,” Celeste, who broke the top 16 streaks of the country in the Miss Universe pageant, wrote.

Some netizens interpreted Celeste’s post as a way of expressing her disappointment over the result of the winners.

Pageant fans quickly defended Miss Universe Philippines’ result to Celeste.

“Yung nakaputol ng streak sa MU, wag na mag comment sana chariz,” netizen Kolo said.

“May kakilala ako na nagwork sa MUPH during her reign, sabi nya panget talaga ugali ni Celeste. Kaya hindi ganun binigyan ng time sa stage nung MUPH 2023 Coronation. Hindi rin sumusunod sa contract ng sponsors. For example, may jeweler sponsor sila pero ayaw suotin yung jewelry dahil may sarili daw sya tapos magpopost sa IG pero idedelete or archive nya after few days. Tapos ayaw din magrehearse, etc,” netizen Nai remarked.

“Hay naku, Celeste! Deserving ang nanalo! Actually mas questionable yung pagka panalo mo nung MUPH 2022, kaya ayun naging clapper ka lang,” netizen Holi commented.

Carla Rodriguez’s statement against her husband, Tom Rodriguez, went viral again on social media amid the issue between the latter and model Clint Bondad.

In 2022, Carla revealed her status with Tom, saying that she couldn’t contain her disappointment towards her former partner.

“Ang taong lubos na nasaktan hirap pong pigilang hindi ilabas ang galit sa anumang paraan,” she said. “I was disrespected. I was betrayed. I was lied to. I was used. I was shamed,”

“Kung sana hanggang dun lang po makakabangon din po ako balang araw. Pero para gawan pa po ako at ang pamilya ko ng mas marami pang kasamaan at kataksilan sa mga sumunod na araw, linggo at buwan, sobra sa sobra na po ang sakit at pagdurog ng puso at pagkatao ko,”

According to her, she kept her feelings for almost seven years.

“Binigay ko po buong buhay ko sa kanya. 7 na taon po akong bawal magalit, magtampo, masaktan, mabigo, malungkot, madismaya dahil hindi po pwede. Makakatikim po ako kahit subukan ko pong ipaliwanag sa kanya na nasasaktan niya ako at hindi po tama ang mga ginagawa niya,” she stated.

It can be recalled that rumors about Tom’s real preference circulated amid the separation between him and Carla.

Tom repeatedly denied that he also preferred a man as a partner.

The rumors started to circulate again after netizens noticed that Tom was the only one being followed on social media by Clint.

Tom also followed Clint on his social media page.

Clint was known for his past relationship with Catriona Gray and close ties with Miss Universe owner Anne Jakrajutatip.

Jake Zyrus became the subject of a joke again after some netizens discovered that the singer appeared on the Google search result for the late actor Berting Labra.

The said image showing Jake on Berting Labra’s search result was also about his resemblance to the actor.

Boss Toyo acquired another good collectible after internet sensation Deo Balbuena, better known as Diwata, sold the first cooking pot he used in his Paresan business.

In one of the episodes of “Pinoy Pawstar,” Diwata visited Boss Toyo’s shop to offer the cooking pot he used before gaining fame on social media.

Diwata also narrated how he decided to establish his Paresan business along Roxas Boulevard, where he lived as a homeless man.

At first, Diwata initially wanted to sell his pot for 3,500 pesos, but Boss Toyo tried to haggle the price to P3,000.

Diwata signed the pot to prove its authenticity and increase its value.

Diwata even offered his flip-flops as a freebie, but Boss Toyo refused to accept it.
