Diwata received criticism on social media after a content creator published a video showing how the internet sensation refused to greet him with a happy birthday.

In the video published by Yves York Serneo could be seen while approaching Diwata in his Paresan.

Yves asked Diwata to greet him for his birthday, but the internet celebrity refused and even told him that his special day would eventually pass.

“Lilipas din yan kuya,” said Diwata.

The content creator was visibly embarrassed by the incident.

It can be recalled that some netizens were speculating that Diwata was already tired of interacting with ordinary content creators due to his connections with famous influencers who visited him and showered him with gifts.

They also reminded Diwata about his roots and told him that it was the ordinary people who helped him to become popular.

“Diwata nyo di Yan n mamansin kpag small creators or ordinary people k lng,pero kpag sikat n blogger,CEO ka tapos may binigay k sa knyang welcome n welcome cla ni diwata.simple pa shout out lng di magawa eh KC kuya Wala ka bigay..if Meron naku bilis p sa alas kwarto bbati sya sayo,” netizen Lhyn said.

Movie director Ronaldo Carballo revealed that two recently released Filipino films were considered a flop.

In his Facebook post, Carballo discussed the low ticket sales of Isang Gabi, starring Coleen Garcia and Diego Loyzaga, and Fuchsia Libre, which was led by Paolo Contis and John Arcilla.

The director expressed his frustrations due to the low support of local films.

According to him, people now prefer to watch their films via online streaming platforms.

“Wala na talaga sa formula yan. Kahit sinong artista ihain mo, ayaw ng tao. Ayaw na talaga ng mga tao manood ng local film sa sinehan,” he said.

“Ang mahal talaga ng panonood ng sine, kumpara sa ang mura naman ng Subscription ng Netflix at pwede pang ipasa sa iba ang Subscription ng libre,” he added.

He suggested that it would be better for producers to just collaborate with online streaming platforms.

“Kaya the best thing talaga ay i-produced ang Pelikula with Netflix quality at ibenta diretso sa Netflix, upang hindi naman laging luhaan ang Producer na walang bumabalik sa ipinuhunan,” he stated.

Most of Carballo’s friends agree with what he said.

“Wala kasing kalatuy-latoy ang mga Tagalog movies ngayun. Sa Title pa lang ng mga movies na nakikita ko ngayon, ay di ka mae-enganyo na manood. Tapus sa kwento o istorya, ay yun at yun pa rin. Walang bago. Minsan kopya pa sa mga banyagang pelikula. At minsan naman walang kalidad ang pagkakagawa. Parang projects lang ng mag-aaral sa Mataas na Pamantasan yung movie, at kadalasan mas maganda pa nga yung gawa ng estudyante lang. Paano pa kaya makakabangon ang Pelikulang Pilipino sa pagkakalugmok nito?” netizen Max said.

“FilmMakers have fo understand the need of the consumers. Dapat naka align sa nangyayari sa marketplace . They are moving away from expensive things., and membership club and subscription based companies are the in thing ngayon,” netizen Mariah remarked.

Comedian Pokwang couldn’t hide her disappointment in content creator Tito Mars, who gained notoriety on social media due to his videos showing disgust at foods eaten by ordinary Filipinos, like canned sardines.

In her Instagram post, Pokwang called Tito Mars ‘insensitive’ and disregarded kindness just to create content for views.

“Walang problema kung ayaw mo sa isang pagkain pero yung umarte ka at umasta na para bang diring diri ka sa uri ng pagkain na yun lang ang kaya ng karamihan sa ting kababayan, napaka insensitive mo ha,” she said.

“Mga tao talaga ngayon makagawa lang ng content kahit mawalan na ng pusong tao walang pakialam for the views!!!!! Very evil!!! may kabayaran lahat yan hindi pa ngayon pero binibilang ni God yan pati mga panglalalit nyo,” she added.

It can be recalled that Tito Mars’ social media pages were on the verge of being suspended due to some netizens who were reporting it on different platforms.

To address the criticisms, Tito Mars clarified that he didn’t mean to disrespect the food being eaten by ordinary Filipinos and he also considered himself as poor.

“Unang-una ho, hindi po ako mayaman. Mahirap lang din po ako,” said Tito Mars. “So bakit ko kailangan bastusin ang pagkain ng mahihirap? Kung babastusin ko ‘yon edi direkta din akong matatamaan ‘don, kasi mahirap lang din po ako at hindi ako mayaman,”

Xian Lim admitted that he asked his ex-girlfriend, Kim Chiu, to announce their breakup since last year.

In an interview with the Inquirer, Xian said that since last year, he has been criticized online due to netizens’ uncertainty regarding the status of his relationship with Kim.

Due to the criticisms he received online, Xian said he ‘begged’ Kim to release a statement to announce their breakup.

However, Kim asked him to postpone their announcement due to work-related reasons.

“I was actually begging Kim, saying we should release a statement that we’ve already gone our separate ways, that we separated on good terms at walang sigawan. Of course, there were tears, pero walang masamang tinapay. I said, ‘Can we just release it? A lot of people are getting dragged into this, including my mom and grandmother,'” said Xian.

“I begged her that both of us could release a statement, but she said not yet because they’re doing the press launch of her series. I said, “But this isn’t work-related. It’s personal.” That’s the truth to it,” he added.

Last December, Kim finally announced that she parted ways with Xian already after 12 years of relationship.

Several months after their breakup, Xian admitted that he was dating film producer Iris Lee.

The meeting between Eat Bulaga hosts and former members of EB Babes gained attention on social media after some netizens started to reminisce about the past.

In an Instagram post, Ciara Sotto published the meeting between the Dabarkads and former EB Babe dancers Yosh Rivera and Mergene Maranan.

“Photos from that super fun night,” she shared.

Ciara didn’t elaborate on the purpose of the meeting, but some netizens believed it was just a normal reunion between the Dabarkads.

The photo quickly went viral as many netizens thought that Wally and Yosh had no connections since the issue happened in 2013.

It can be recalled that Wally temporarily left Eat Bulaga after a video of him with Yosh went viral on social media.

Yosh also quickly left EB Babes and decided to pursue a private life.

Wally returned to Eat Bulaga and became one of the few celebrities who survived a big controversy.

However, even today, the said ‘controversy’ is still mentioned from time to time by the netizens, but Wally has already learned how to ignore it.

Some netizens made their comments after seeing the photo.

“Talamak talaga sa eb na pinapatos pati co host nila… ilang beses na nagyari to kay bossing and then nagka anak pa nga sila ni connie r while married kay dina,” a netizen said.

“Girl, bata kapa nung nakuha ni Wally at maganda. May career ahead of you that could change your life. Sayang talaga. Babalik ka lang din pala kay Wally. Jusko di naman ganun kayaman si Wally tapos hindi pa gwapo at higit sa lahat may asawa. Pwedeng pwede ka makakuha nuon ng mayaman, gwapo at binata. Sinira ni Wally buhay mo,” another netizen remarked.

Content creator Tito Mars finally addressed the criticism he received on social media following the videos he uploaded showing him acting like he was forcing himself to eat canned sardines.

The videos went viral on social media, as many netizens couldn’t hide their disappointment that the content creator made fun of one of the most affordable foods that a common Filipino could eat.

Even celebrities like Pokwang have already made a reaction to Tito Mars’ videos.

As a response to the netizens, Tito Mars made a video explaining his side and insisted that he didn’t mean to disrespect the Filipino poor.

“Unang-una ho, hindi po ako mayaman. Mahirap lang din po ako,” said Tito Mars. “So bakit ko kailangan bastusin ang pagkain ng mahihirap? Kung babastusin ko ‘yon edi direkta din akong matatamaan ‘don, kasi mahirap lang din po ako at hindi ako mayaman,”

He said that he never uttered a word against canned sardines.

Tito Mars also said that he would respect the netizens’ reaction to his videos and told them to stop watching him if they didn’t like his contents.

“Meron po kayong kalayaan, choice niyo po kung paano ko iintidinhin ang mga videos na inilalabas ng mga content creator na inilalabas ko,” he stated.

The word war between former actress Mystica and internet sensation Diwata continues after the two made a response to each other’s criticism.

It can be recalled that Mystica criticized Diwata for being unsanitary in handling his Paresan business and called out the internet celebrity for ignoring his fans.

“Yung itsura ni Diwata ngayon nandidiri na sa mga taong gustong magpa-picture sa kanya, kitang-kita na ‘yan sa videos online. Iba ang trato niya sa mga bumibili ng pares niya na talagang sumusuporta sa kanya pero pag siya ang bibigyan ng blessing todo asikaso siya buong araw,” she said.

Diwata then responded to Mystica, saying that the latter was already unpopular.

“Sinong Pistika? Laos na siya. Hayaan mo siya, hindi naman siya importante sa buhay ko. Ang importante sa akin business ko,” he said.

As a reply to Diwata, Mystica shared her observation of watching the internet sensation while interacting with his fans.

“Halatang-halata na nandidiri na siya sa mga nagpapa-picture sa kanya,” said Mystica. “Samantalang ‘yung mga namimigay sa kanya, talagang welcome na welcome at igugugol niya ‘yung buong oras niya pero ‘yung mga taong pupunta doon para sila ay pipila para sa kanyang negosyo ay baliwala nalang sila,”

It can be recalled that Diwata became popular due to the ordinary content creators who covered his daily activities every day.

However, when he became popular, famous influencers started flocking to his Paresan to cover him and give him gifts.

Some netizens also noticed that Diwata is now often seen together with popular content creators.

Whamos Cruz received another complaint from a content creator after he was accused of letting delivery riders wait outside his house for 30 minutes.

Through a Facebook post, delivery rider and content creator Master Jed asked Whamos directly about his alleged reputation in their subdivision.

According to Jed, he waited around 40 minutes for Whamos to pick up his order, which made him lose many opportunities to get another customer.

“Whamos totoo ba ung sabi ng mga guard jan sa inyo? lahat daw ng rider bwisit sayo kasi pinag aantay mo ng lagpas 30 minutes?” he said.

“Ako lng naman yung rider na nag antay sayo ng 40+ minutes.

“Kung alam nyo lang ung galit ko nung gabing yan.. nasa point ako na “makita lang kita sa personal sap*k ka tlga sakin”.. meron pa kasi akong isang drop off nyan na nag hihintay.. buti naka intindi ung isang drop off,” 

Jed also posted the screencap of the delivery to show the alleged order made by Whamos, which only cost P167.

Some netizens also expressed disappointment to Whamos after they read Jed’s post.

“Sa ugali nalang sana magka-chance bumawi e di pa magawa. Dapat kung wala ng maibawi sa mukha, sa attitude and character babawi para kahit papano pantay,” netizen Real said.

“Kung totoo yan …. well wala ng bago dyn sa mga tao na galing sa hirap tapos biglang yaman gnon sila … na npaka panget na ugali hindi iniisip un nag aantay kala mo babayaran un oras mo ok lng kung babayaran un pag aanty eh tsk,” netizen Jeff remarked.

Whamos has yet to respond to the content creator as of the time of writing.

Diwata made a response to Mystica after the former actress criticized the internet sensation for allegedly ignoring his fans and not practicing sanitation on his Paresan business.

Several days ago, Mystica called out Diwata for his attitude.

“Yung itsura ni Diwata ngayon nandidiri na sa mga taong gustong magpa-picture sa kanya, kitang-kita na ‘yan sa videos online. Iba ang trato niya sa mga bumibili ng pares niya na talagang sumusuporta sa kanya pero pag siya ang bibigyan ng blessing todo asikaso siya buong araw,” she said.

“Alam ko, napansin n’yo rin na balewala na ‘yung mga taong pumila at kumakain sa paresan niya, ang bilis niyang nagbago, papaano pa hahanga ang tao sa kanya kung ganoon siya? Akala mo kung sino na siya na hindi na maabot!” she added.

In a video published by a vlogger, Diwata didn’t think twice to made fun of Mystica’s faded popularity.

“Sinong Pistika? Laos na siya. Hayaan mo siya, hindi naman siya importante sa buhay ko. Ang importante sa akin business ko,” he said.

It can be recalled that Mystica became popular during the 2000s, and the showbiz industry labeled her the ‘split queen.’

However, her popularity eventually faded after several years due to the controversy she faced.

Mystica is now working in the food industry business in the United States, but she was still active on social media to interact with her fans.

Internet personality Deo Balbuena, better known as Diwata, expressed his frustrations as his business was already affected by the flock of people who always wanted to take a photo of him.

In a video published by one of the vloggers covering Diwata’s daily activities, the internet sensation is shown appealing to his visitors, not to hinder his job in his Paresan business.

“Baka pwedeng magtrabaho muna ako, hindi na ako makapagtrabaho eh,” said Diwata. “Diba sabi ko sa inyo may time para sa interview sa vlogging, sa picture, bigyan niyo naman ako ng time para makakilos ako sa tindahan ko,”

“Mas priority sakin ‘yung tindahan ko kaysa sa humarap sa camera niyo. Every time na pupunta ako diyan [sa restaurant] andiyan nalang kayo [at] gusto niyo nalang na nakaharap nalang ako sa camera niyo,” he added.

According to him, he already received negative comments for becoming strict when it comes to granting interviews and photo-ops, but he told his visitors that they must also understand that he was also managing a business.

He also criticized the people publishing negative comments about him so they could earn money from views generated by their videos.

It can be recalled that former actress Mystica criticized Diwata for allegedly distancing himself from the people who made him popular.
