Grace Mondina addressed a netizen who asked her to stop talking about her former partner, Joel Mondina, popularly known as Pambansang Kolokoy.

On April 2, Joel published a video, pleading to Grace to stop talking about him and even blamed the latter for the downfall of his content creation career.

As a response, Grace also made a video to take a swipe against Joel, hinting that her former partner was experiencing ‘andropause.’

Netizens urged both camps to calm down for the sake of their children.

However, Grace said that she wished people who were stopping her from speaking could not experience being cheated on.

“I hope you will never get cheated on so no one has to say “move on” but if that time comes u will know how its like when people tell you to “move on,” she said.

It can be recalled that Grace and Joel announced their split in 2023.

The exact cause of the separation was unknown, but it was hinted several times a third party was involved in the issue.

Even Joel admitted that he already had a relationship with another woman.

To defend himself, Joel claimed that Grace was controlling and had a bad relationship with her in-laws.

Netizens were delighted by Malia O’Brian’s request to her mother, Pokwang.

In her Instagram story, Pokwang shared her discussion with Malia, who at first, only expressed her love.

However, Malia suddenly changed the topic into something serious and told her mother not to entertain suitors.

“I don’t want you to get a boyfriend,” said Malia.

According to Malia, she saw something on Pokwang’s tablet, which gave her the idea that her mother was already dating.

“Ayaw nya ako mag boyfriend!!! kasi nga yung ama kung siney siney na chaka ang ka join hahahah don’t worry nak ikaw at si ate lang ang priority ko pangako yan,” she said.

Malia was the child of Pokwang to the American actor, Lee O’Brian.

Despite the separation between Pokwang and Lee, the comedian still allowed the latter to be with Malia last Christmas.

Pokwang also made it clear that Lee was always allowed to visit their child anytime.

Ramil Albano received more questions from netizens after a video he uploaded in March circulated on social media.

It can be recalled that Albano went viral on social media after he was believed to be a victim of the April Fool’s challenge of the Taragis Takoyaki shop, which entrepreneur Carl Quion owned.

Taragis posted a challenge on April 1, 2024, offering P100,000 to anyone who could put a logo of their shop on their forehead permanently, but later on, clarified that it was only part of their April Fool’s prank.

Donations were poured to Albano as they believed that he was a victim of an irresponsible prank.

But after several days, the netizens who were questioning the legitimacy of his story were increasing.

The most recent evidence found by netizens was the video uploaded by Albano last March 28, showing that he already had the logo on his forehead even before Taragis published their challenge.

The recent evidence prompted the netizens to change their opinion toward Albano.

Meanwhile, Taragis also faced possible sanctions from the Department of Trade and Industry for their prank.

Aside from the possible cancellation of their business name registration, DTI also informed other agency to explore possible charges against Taragis.

John Manalo received attention from the netizens due to his message for Kathryn Bernardo.

In his post on Instagram, John wrote a message about the confusion he experienced last year and also included a photo of him with Kath.

“This year feels like a year of fulfillment, which is so different from last year. Back then, I was clueless about where to go or which path to take. But now, I know exactly what I want and how to make it happen,” he wrote.

,

It can be recalled that John and Kathryn were very close friends and already worked together in the entertainment industry since they were still children.

He was also actively documenting the events of Kathryn in the past months.

Aside from John, Kathryn was also close to John’s cousin, Jericho Rosales, and with Kapuso actor Alden Richards.

Meanwhile, Kathryn’s fans were happy with the freedom being enjoyed by Kathryn now.

There were rumors that Kathryn was restricted from being with other men during her relationship with Daniel Padilla.

Some reports also indicated that the planned sequel of Hello, Love, Goodbye, where Kathryn was paired with Alden was postponed due to Daniel’s request.

Dani Barretto faced criticism on social media due to her opinion on whether children have an obligation to help their parents.

In an interview, Dani expressed her belief that children have a right to refuse to help their parents, calling the “utang na loob” culture toxic.

“Hindi ka puwedeng magkaroon ng utang na loob sa isang bagay na dapat nilang gawin para sa yo. kasi there are some people who use that against people, parang, ‘Pinaaral kita, pinaganito kita, ganyan-gayan… so, dapat ito yung binibigay mo sa akin.’” said Dani.

However, Dani said that it should be the obligation of parents to support their children until they can work for themselves.

However, some netizens didn’t like what Dani said, saying that she was being selfish.

“Take note, parents also did all the hard work and their best to make you the best. If you have love and respect for your parents , there is NO toxic mentality in doing it at all.
Selfishness Ang tawag Jan,” netizen Mae said.

“Nagiging toxic lang yan kung magisa ka lang kumikilos para sa lahat lalo na kung marami kayo. Pero kung lahat nagtatrabaho napakagaan ng buhay. Wala naman masama sa pagtanaw ng utang na loob sa magulang at guds na guds yon. Pero kung mag isa ka lang na kumikilos mauubos ka. Kaya ako inuubliga ko mga kapatid ko na magtapos at magtrabaho para lahat kami di maging pabigat sa isat isa sa huli. Isa sa pinaka magandang investment yung pagtapusin mo mga kapatid mo kasi darating ang araw na pag naghirap sila Wala din Naman sila ibang taktakbuhan kundi Ikaw na panganay. Pag lahat productive at kumikita napakagaan ng buhay,” netizen Marvin remarked.

Alden Richards and Kathryn Bernardo’s relationship may not reach the level that fans were expecting.

According to entertainment news writer Reggee Bonoan, a source already claimed that Kathryn was not interested in having any romantic relationship with Alden, as the Kapamilya actress was already eyeing another man.

“Mukhang mananatiling magkaibigan lang sina Alden at Kathryn dahil may ibang gusto raw ang aktres na hindi naman binanggit kung sino,”

The writer even said that many people would be surprised if they discovered the identity of the mystery man.

It can be recalled that thousands of Kathryn and Alden fans were asking if the two were dating already after their photos while having sweet moments together went viral on social media.

It was also reported that Alden hired a private plane to attend Kathryn’s birthday celebration, which prompted some netizens to speculate about the true intentions of the actor.

However, there was no confirmation if Alden was trying to court Kathryn or if he was only sweet towards his friends.

One of the leaders of the remaining AlDub fan club released a video, claiming as proof of the ‘family’ built by Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza.

In her post, Mila Cambal released a video showing Alden and Maine, carrying a baby during a party they attended.

“Dito ako sinabihan ng haligi na Anak Nila yung baby… si Dalmi naman nagsabi na lalaki yung baby… yan ang eyewitness,” she wrote.

Mila posted the video amid the discussion on the closeness between Alden and Kathryn Bernardo.

“Totoo po yan. Please check po my pinned tweet at may nakakita sa kanila sa laguna.
ALDUB PARIN,” another fan said.

It can be recalled that the fans of the former loveteam were not happy with the development happening between Alden and Kathryn, urging the actress to stay away from the Kapuso actor.

Some remaining AlDub fans insisted that Alden and Maine were married already.

They also spread several theories that the relationship between Alden and Maine was being hidden for a reason that even the AlDub fans couldn’t answer.

However, Alden and Maine both denied the claims made by their fans and even asked them to stop pushing for the return of AlDub.

The establishment that launched the viral April Fool’s Prank on social media may face serious consequences.

According to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Taragis Takoyaki Shop, which challenged their followers to put the logo of their shop on their forehead may lose their business name registration.

DTI Assistant Secretary Amanda Nograles criticized the business owned by Carl Quion for being ‘irresponsible’ in their marketing.

“Pwede nating i-suspend, i-revoke, i-cancel yung registration nila sa DTI, yung business name nila. Tapos pwede din i-refer ito sa mayor’s office or sa LGU (local government unit) dahil sila naman talaga ang pwedeng magrevoke ng business permit,” she said.

“Hindi mo pwedeng gamitin yung official, legitimate name mo para gumawa ng isang unlawful act or something na makakasira or makakasakit sa iyong kababayan,” she added.

Aside from suspension, Taragis may also face charges.

DTI revealed that they already reported the said incident to Meta where the challenge was posted.

It can be recalled that Ramil Albano, the man who took the challenge, said that he wanted to use the money to finance the education of his son with Down Syndrome.

“Therapy yung kailangan niya kaya lang wala nga kaming pang-therapy. Kasi nga yung mata ko, mahina, ‘di ako makahanap ng permanenteng trabaho,” he said.
