EB dabarkads forever,” netizen Kumi said.

While most Eat Bulaga fans celebrated its international achievement, some netizens reminded the Dabarkads that the program was not even included in the top 10 of the longest-running shows in the world.

The top five running shows on the whole planet are Lord Mayor’s Show, Remembrance Sunday: The Cenotaph, The Championships Wimbledon, Meet the Press and CBS Evening News.

The mystery woman who went viral on social media after she thanked Zoren Legaspi for a ride had addressed the netizens who were speculating about her real relationship with the actor.

It can be recalled that netizen Yhen Yhentot posted a photo of her while posing with Zoren in Baguio City and even wrote a caption thanking the actor for fetching her to the City of Pines.

The photo received mixed reactions from the netizens especially when they saw how Zoren hugged  Yhen.

When the photo went viral on social media, Yhen was forced to explain to the netizens that she was only joking and their meeting happened during the lockdown period.

“Nagpaalam kame to take pictures po sa bigbike nya… ginawa pa nga nmen na photographer sya kasi di tlga nmen alam na sya si zoren… nang inalis helmet nya tsaka namen narecognized na si idol zoren po pala sya,” she wrote.

“Hindi siya suplado hehehe, di nga namin alam na si Zoren yan kasi na-amazed lang kame sa gwapo niyang motor siya pa ang ginawa namin photographer tas nung tinanggal niya helmet niya si Zoren pala,” she added.

She insisted that there was no special relationship between her and Zoren and she was only a fan.

Veteran columnist Cristy Fermin claimed that ABS-CBN’s noontime show, It’s Showtime would only be aired on GMA Network until December this year.

In her program, “Showbiz Now Na!” Cristy said her source confirmed that It’s Showtime didn’t get a long-term contract with GMA.

“Kailan lang po, isang reliable source, hindi nanununog, hindi nangunguryente, talagang totoong-totoo ang sinasabi, ang nagkwento sa amin na hanggang December lamang daw po ang kontrata ng GMA at ng Kapamilya Network para sa It’s Showtime,” 

According to her, It’s Showtime must maintain a good rating to receive a renewal from GMA.

However, she admitted they were not present during the contract signing, so they’re still taking the information they got with a grain of salt.

“Ito po ay kinikwestyon namin. Pakwestyon po ang aming pagde-deliver sa inyo ng kwento dahil hindi namin nakita ‘yung pinirmahan. Pero yan po ang talagang kalat na kalat,” she stated.

It can be recalled that Cristy’s co-host, Wendell Alvarez, claimed that It’s Showtime was tasked to surpass Eat Bulaga’s rating.

Cristy then said that while It’s Showtime was pressured to surpass the longest-running noontime show, Eat Bulaga was not really focusing on the TV ratings competition.

She also said that Eat Bulaga has nothing to prove anymore.

Filipina marketing guru Rachel Carrasco delighted her followers with a sweet message she dedicated to her rumored partner, businessman Victor Consunji.

In her Instagram story, Carrasco posted an image, which appears to be one of her travel photographs with Consunji.

“Patagonia – Separated by time, by distance, and by choices yet these hearts always remained as one,” the quote shared by Carrasco reads.

It can be recalled that the two didn’t hide their closeness on social media despite the accusations made by Consunji’s wife, Maggie Wilson against them.

The two also went viral last month after they shared a family photo together with Wilson’s son and another baby.

“Everything that’s important in life, and everybody I ever wanted,” Consunji wrote.

Consunji’s followers described them as a ‘wonderful’ and ‘beautiful’ family.

Wilson claimed that Consunji and Carrasco were having a relationship, while at the same time, she was the one facing charges for allegedly having an affair with businessman Tim Connor.

Wilson’s child with Consunji was under the custody of the businessman and marketing guru.

Eagle-eyed netizens noticed Bea Alonzo’s alleged decision to delete Dominic Roque’s photos on her Instagram page.

The latest social media activity of Bea was made after netizens noticed Dominic’s phone wallpaper, which featured the actress.

Several days ago, Dominic went viral on social media after he flaunted his cellphone, which showed the photo of Bea, prompting the netizens to speculate that the two were getting well again.

However, the latest actions of Bea quickly lessened the expectations of the netizens who were hoping that the two were reconciled again after their reported breakup.

“Bea panu kaba i-handle ang hirap nung ka bonding sa age mung yan ang attitude mo bhie bawas bawasan naman,” netizen Joan said.

“Hayaan muna Dom baka di para kayo ni Bea hayaan mo na siyang tumanda magisa,” netizen Nyl commented.

“Baka naman dahil lang sumama sa cebu c dom ksma mga kaibigan nya kaya nagtampururut nanaman c akla. Gusto sa kanya lang iikot ang mundo, work yon beh,” netizen She remarked.

It can be recalled that Bea and Dominic announced their separation after reports about the rumored dark past of the model.

After their breakup, several entertainment reporters claimed that the two were talking to each other again.

Bea’s relatives were also allegedly against the reconciliation for unknown reasons.

Cassy Legaspi finally made a public statement after Darren Espanto denied their relationship.

It can be recalled that Darren went viral on social media after he clarified that Cassy was only a friend once and twice.

“Best friends talaga. It’s something a lot of people won’t get. Hindi ko alam paano explain pero syempre andun ‘yung pagmamahal namin sa isa’t isa,” Darren stated during an interview with ABS-CBN.

Darren also denied Cassy when he was paired by his It’s Showtime co-hosts with Jillian Ward.

In an interview with “Unang Balita” last Friday, Cassy said that her relationship with Darren was hard to explain.

However, she admitted that her relationship with Darren could only be labeled as ‘best friends.’

“It’s so hard to explain what we have, pero best friends talaga kami,” said Cassy.

Cassy and Darren have been friends for many years since their first meeting in 2015.

Despite her clarification, many netizens believed Cassy and Darren’s relationship was deeper than friendship.

They based their speculations on the cryptic posts Cassy and her mother, Carmina Villarroel published.

Some netizens also speculated that Cassy was friend-zoned by Darren.

Meanwhile, Darren has yet to give any statement on the hints posted by Cassy and Carmina on their social media pages.

Comedian Pokwang was not yet over with her ex-partner Lee O’Brian, who was recently deported out of the country for working without proper documents.

Despite her proclamation in the past that she could only move on when Lee already left the country, Pokwang hinted last Friday that she would do her final task for her mission to achieve her “peace of mind” by ensuring that her former partner would give child support to their children, Malia.

Her plan was revealed when some netizens criticized her decision to petition Lee for deportation after their well-publicized separation.

“Kanino ako hihingi sayo? Bwak bwak bwaaaaakkk!! Embassy na maghahabol diyan dahil doon ako magsasampa ng reklamo,” she wrote.

She also answered the netizens who questioned her work in America, saying that, unlike Lee, she had the proper documents to perform in other countries.

“Manginig pa kayo dahil magsasampa ako ng child support sa US Embassy dito,” she stated.

Pokwang also insisted that Lee’s deportation was only the rightful scenario after what he did to them.

It can be recalled that Lee was deported on April 8, 2024, after his motion for reconsideration was denied by the Bureau of Immigration.

Pokwang’s camp also celebrated the deportation of Lee, saying that what happened to the American actor proved that the justice system is working in the Philippines.

ABS-CBN’s flagship newscast program was reportedly returning home after a successful deal between the Kapamilya Network and Manny Villar’s AllTV.

According to the report published by Bilyonaryo, TV Patrol would return to its original timeslot starting April 15.

The deal may become the first step for ABS-CBN to return to its original channel in the future.

Some experts believe that the deal between ABS-CBN and AllTV might be the reason why Kapamilya Network is not prioritizing getting a new franchise anymore.

Meanwhile, ABS-CBN fans expressed their joy at the said reports.

“Sooner or later ABS CBN will again become the biggest network even without the franchise. Just watch how it’s entering all the networks and spreading its hold in the industry,” netizen Ronaldo said.

“Baka isang araw lahat ng show ng ABS ay pagsama samahin na sa All TV para sa isang network na lang sila makikipag collab, dati namang sa kanila yan. Syempre depende parin sa agreement nila, kung saan sila kikita ng husto,” netizen Alex remarked.

Others believed that Villar had no choice but to get content from ABS-CBN after its failed attempt to create its own shows, like Willie Revillame’s flop program Wowowin.

“Wala namang kakayahan ang mga Villar pagdating sa broadcast at entertainment industry kaya no choice sila kundi ibigay na lang ulit sa abscbn as block timer, kahit papaano kikita si Villar kesa puro palugi,” netizen Mark commented.

Actor Dingdong Dantes received praise from the netizens after he didn’t forget the birthday of his Goddaughters, Xonia and Xalene.

Xonia and Xelene are the children of Paolo Contis and Lian Paz.

The two children were currently under the custody of Lian and her husband John Cabahug.

“Gusto kong humabol sa pagbati sa inyo ng happy happy birthday, ang tagal ko na kayong hindi nakikita and I hope to see you one of these days,” said Dingdong.

“Please know na we’re here and we are excited to see you and we love you,” he added.

Lian was thankful that Dingdong remembered the birthday of her daughters.

However, some netizens couldn’t stop themselves from mentioning the father of Xonia and Xelene, saying that Dingdong treated the two children better than him.

“Buti pa to may concern pero yung ama dedma! Nag iipon pa yta ng pang deposit sa bank acct ng mga anak. Yung as a friend muna ang priority sa ngaun,” a netizen said.

“Buti pa si Ninong Dong and Ninang Yan nakakaalala,” another netizen said.

As of writing, netizens were still waiting if Paolo would greet his children.
