Joel Mondina, popularly known as ‘Pambansang Kolokoy’ captured the attention of the netizens again after he accused his former partner, Miss Grace of trying to end his content creation career.

In a video he published last April 2, Joel urged Grace to stop criticizing him on social media.

“Kung ano-ano ang mga pinagsasabi mo sa social media para bumagsak ako, then dare you goes, congratulations, bumagsak ang social media ko. Halos wala na akong kitain,” he said.

“Kaya mas pinili ko nalang na mag-stay dito sa Pilipinas, atleast dito may raket ako. Para ma-sustentuhan ko ‘yong mga anak ko sa’yo,” he added.

Grace then made a short response to Joel, asking him to stop being a sad boy.

“Stop throwing tantrums on social media sadboi,” Grace said.

“Road to 1million views ka nanaman, sabihin mo salamat Grace and kids!” she added.

Some netizens expressed their support to Miss Grace, saying that Joel should stop blaming his former partner for his misfortunes.

“It’s not about kampihan who u support he or she the best thing to do if u are a real supporter to both is to pray for healing and for the kids too. Let’s not add fire sa comment section dahil wla naman panalo dto same clang talo lalo mga bta. We are only viewers we are not in their shoes kya let’s stop judging to both of them just Be nice to both,” netizen Genevieve said.

However, some fans were also hoping that Joel and Grace should just reconcile for the sake of their children.

“Sana magkaayos nlang kau di man Ngayon ,sana mag heal na din kau kawawa mga bata na dadamay sa labanan nyo sa socmed. Isipin nyo nlang nararamdaman nila pag napapanood nila batuhan nyo 2 mga comment Ng tao na di namn mapipigilan, Isa alang alang nyo din nararamdaman nila,” netizen Joanne remarked.

Alden Richards and Kathryn Bernardo went viral on social media after several videos and photos taken during the celebration of the Kapamilya actress were published on social media.

In the said photos, Kathryn and Alden could be seen having sweet moments together.

However, some fans of Alden and Maine Mendoza’s now-defunct love team were not delightened by the closeness between Kathryn and the Kapuso Actor.

Some fans on X, couldn’t hide their disappointment and criticized Kathryn for allegedly trying to block the return of AlDub.

“MAY KNYA KNYANG KARWAHE ANG BWAT LT (love team) NA NAKIK2LA2 SA SHOWBIZ BUT SA KARWAHE NG ALDUB NGAYON NYO PINASA2KAY ANG LAOS NYONG SAKLING. YANG PLANO NYO D BIGGEST FLOP YAN DHIL 2DAY PA LANG FULL FORCE NA ANG BOYCOTT NAMING FANDOM. ALDUB LANG SAPAT NA,” netizen Babes said.

A fan also urged Kathryn to stop interacting with Alden, as she believed that the actor was married to Maine and already had children.

“Naku girl, mag-isip isip ka. If you have self-respect, huwag ka ng pumatol sa may asawa’t mga anak. Nakakahanap ka pa ng ibang walang sabit ng di ka mapulaan,” netizen Sunshine told Kathryn

It can be recalled that some AlDub fans were still not convinced that Alden and Maine were not together anymore.

They claimed that Alden and Maine were married already and blamed Eat Bulaga management for trying to hide the truth from the public.

When Maine married Arjo Atayde, the fans said the latter only tied the knot to a clone.

Sarah Lahbati talked about the viral photo released by talent manager Ogie Diaz on social media.

The said photo showed Sarah together with a mysterious man at a restaurant in Hong Kong last Holy Week.

In an interview with MJ Marfori, Sarah reminded the people about her single status.

“It’s okay because again, I am single. Let me repeat that I am single so of course there will always be speculations,” said Sarah.

According to her, she went to Hong Kong to experience Art Basel and the man in the photo was only her friend.

“I visited Hong Kong and met up with different friends there,” she stated.

The actress also made it clear that she was not bothered by the said photo and people have the right to speculate.

“Ang buhay ko ay punong puno ng makulay na intriga, simula ng pagkaanak ko kay Zion, remember when that happened and up to now hindi ako nilalayuan ng intriga,” she said.

It can be recalled that Sarah and her husband, Richard Gutierrez hinted at their separation last year due to unknown reasons.

Like Sarah, Richard was also being linked to other women now, including Barbie Imperial.

Content creator Joel Mondina, popularly known as ‘Pambansang Kolokoy’ made another video to address his former partner, Grace Mondina a.k.a Miss Grace.

In a video he uploaded on April 2, 2024, Joel expressed his frustration on why his former partner was still criticizing him despite him not talking about their past relationship already.

Joel insisted that he never fail to support his children in America, despite him, working in the Philippines due to lack of opportunities abroad.

“Kung ano-ano ang mga pinagsasabi mo sa social media para bumagsak ako, then dare you goes, congratulations, bumagsak ang social media ko. Halos wala na akong kitain,” he said.

“Kaya mas pinili ko nalang na mag-stay dito sa Pilipinas, atleast dito may raket ako. Para ma-sustentuhan ko ‘yong mga anak ko sa’yo,” he added.

Joel also insisted that he never cheated on Grace, saying that they were already in the process of getting divorced when he decided to enter into a new relationship.

“Bago pa kita iniwan, nag file ka na ng divorce. Kaso nung nalaman mong nakikipag-date na ako, may kinakausap na ako, kinansel mo yang divorce na yan. Yan ang katotohanan,” he stated.

It can be recalled that Joel and Grace already announced the end of their relationship last year.

The separation between them has ended the popular tandem between them, which made them gain millions of social media followers.

Veteran columnist Cristy Fermin believed that It’s Showtime would never surpass Eat Bulaga despite its transfer to GMA Network.

In her online show, Cristy addressed the comments from some fans of It’s Showtime who expressed their confidence in It’s Showtime’s dominance on the television ratings.

According to Cristy, Eat Bulaga would still remain the king of noontime shows.

“Wala nang dapat pang patunayan ang ‘Eat Bulaga’ at ‘Dabarkads.’ Ano pa ba? ‘Di ba? Sila nga ang may hawak ng korona, e,”  she said.

She also called out It’s Showtime fans for making the competition between Eat Bulaga and It’s Showtime personal.

“Alam mo ‘yung hindi masasatsat, ‘yung wala na silang iniisip at wala na kasing dapat pang patunayan. ‘Yun ‘yung mga tahimik lang. Hindi ‘yung kung anu-anong sasabihin, bardagulan dito, personalan dyan. Hindi na po uso ‘yan ngayon. Hindi na talaga,” she said.

Meanwhile, Cristy gave her thoughts on It’s Showtime host Vice Ganda’s indirect criticism against her, saying that the comedian should stop being sensitive.

“Mali ‘yung umaariba nanaman ang kahambugan ni Vice Ganda, iko-correct ko lang ‘yon, hindi naman po talaga nawala ‘yon, ‘yun naman talaga imahe niya, kabangan, mapagpatutsada,” she said.

It can be recalled that Cristy was mentioned several times by Vice on It’s Showtime due to the columnist’s criticism against him.

Vice even said he would release a song about a certain ‘gossiper,’ which some netizens believed to be Cristy.

Netizens couldn’t stop themselves from speculating after they saw the photos posted by Richard Gutierrez and Barbie Imperial last Holy Week.

On March 30, 2024, Richard posted a video taken during his vacation on an undisclosed island in the country, where many coconut trees could be found.

“Steady but ready,” said Richard.

A post shared by BARBIE IMPERIAL (@msbarbieimperial)

Some netizens started to speculate that Richard and Barbie were in the same place after observing the photos and videos shared by both celebrities.

Here’s some of the comments from the netizens:

“Same background sila ni barbie. What a coincidence. Char,”

“Dati si @sarahlahbati lang dinadala mo dito sa Ticao Island ah, ngayon si @msbarbieimperial na,”

“Bat po bakante isang Upuan?”

It can be recalled that Richard and Barbie were rumored to be dating after they were spotted partying together last January.

However, Richard and Barbie refused to answer the rumors.

The Kapamilya actor was just recently separated from Sarah Lahbati, who was also spotted together with a man in Hong Kong last Holy Week.

The man who put the logo of a Takoyaki shop on his forehead received many pledges from several establishments.

On April 1, 2024, Taragis Takoyaki Shop posted an April Fool’s Prank, which a man took seriously.

The said incident gained millions of engagements from netizens and sparked a discussion on how pranks should be handled, especially for big brands like Taragis.

In a now-deleted statement, Taragis refused to be liable for the incident, but some brands didn’t waste the opportunity to gain brand exposure by helping the said man.

Several businesses pledged a certain amount to help the man; some even promised to give P100,000 to him.

Some businesses like Project Glow Up, and ChizMozza said that they would give P100,000 to the man.

Content creators like Atty. Anselmo S. Rodiel IV who also discussed the incident also promised to give P10,000.

Meanwhile, the business behind the said prank decided just to give P100,000 and also apologized for their previous statements.

“Kaya sa mga nagkaroon ng negatibong pananaw sa naging April Fools’ post namin, humihingi ako ng tawad,” said Quion.

“At sana magsilbing aral ito sa ating lahat, lalo na sa mga kapwa influencers ko o brand na nasa internet na maging responsable tayo sa lahat ng ina-upload natin,” he added.

The businessman who went viral on social media due to his April Fool’s Prank apologized for the statement they previously posted.

It can be recalled that a man thought that the challenge published by the Taragis Takoyaki shop was serious, so he decided to tattoo the shop logo on his forehead, hoping to receive P100,000.

At first, the establishment was not willing to give P100,000, but fortunately, its owner, Carl Quion, decided to give the money to the man.

In a video, Quion visited the man who was a resident of North Caloocan for an interview.

During the interview, Quion asked the man why he put Taragis’ logo on his forehead for the said amount of money.

The man responded, saying that he badly needed money to support the education of his son who had Down syndrome.

“Para sa bunso kong anak tsaka pang-tuition ng anak ko. Service ng anak kong bunso [na may] down syndrome,” he said.

Netizens couldn’t stop themselves from being emotional after they heard the story of the man, calling him a loving father.

Taragis also expressed regret in his previous statements.

“Kaya sa mga nagkaroon ng negatibong pananaw sa naging April Fools’ post namin, humihingi ako ng tawad,” said Quion.

“At sana magsilbing aral ito sa ating lahat, lalo na sa mga kapwa influencers ko o brand na nasa internet na maging responsable tayo sa lahat ng ina-upload natin,” he added.
