A business establishment was facing a tremendous amount of criticism after they posted an April Fool’s prank, which a man took seriously.
On April 1, 2024, Taragis Ta-Q-Yaki posted a contest to challenge anyone who would tattoo their brand and logo on their forehead in exchange for P100,000.
However, when you click the photo, it shows the whole content of the publication material, showing that the challenge was only an April Fool’s prank.
Unfortunately, a man reportedly took the challenge seriously and tattooed the logo of the brand on his forehead, hoping that he would get the P100,000.
In a Facebook post, the establishment made it clear that they were only doing an April Fool’s prank.
They also insisted that they were not liable to pay the man P100,000.
“After that, we received a number of messages claiming that our post was executed and that someone had taken it seriously. Let this serve as a reminder to us all how important reading comprehension is. It’s April Fool’s Day. Never trust anything or anyone. The same as any other day,” the management wrote.
“Once more, Taragis Takoyaki is not accountable for the events that occurred,” they added.
The establishment received negative comments from the netizens, urging the owners to pay the man P100,000.
“You guys are definitely accountable, this is your responsibility! Not everyone knows what April Fool’s Day means. Tssssk!” netizen May said.
“Sa dami naman kasi ng pwedeng prank yung pang-lifetime effect pa yung napili. Be accountable, you are responsible for this. Hindi lahat literate sa meaning ng “april fools,” netizen Namieh remarked.
Vice Ganda revealed that she would release a song dedicated to a well-known gossiper.
In the April 1, 2024, episode of It’s Showtime, the ‘Unkabogable Superstar,’ said that the title of the song would be ‘Bwak Bwak Bwak,’ a reference he made several times when he reacted to veteran columnist Cristy Fermin’s report about him.
“Nakakatawa ‘yung kanta! Humanda ka! May kanta ako! Bwak bwak bwak bwak bwak! Manggigigil ka!” she said.
According to him, he wrote the said song during his Holy Week vacation.
Vice didn’t give any sample of the song.
Netizens quickly guessed that Vice was referring to her critic, Cristy Fermin.
It can be recalled that Cristy was a known critic of Vice, and she often featured the comedian in her programs.
“Napakalapit sa kanya na nagkuwento sa akin, tutal din lang tinatawag mo kaming tatlo na mga chismosong chaka ‘di ba? Okay, hindi ka namin papatulan pero may kukuwento kami. Hindi mo kami mapipigil. Mga taong malapit sa’yo ang nagsasabi na ang hininga mo raw ay amoy-imburnal,” Fermin said.
“Ang sabi niya, ‘Ang lakas-lakas ng loob niya na mamintas. Diyusko! Kung alam n’yo lang, ang tindi ng amoy ng hininga niyan. Parang bulok na daga. Huwag kang mamimintas ng kapwa mo kung may maibabalik din sa iyong resibo,” she added.
Cristy also insisted that Vice is not a real woman.
“Isang araw darating sa iyo ang pagbaba mo, bababa ka sa pedestal, hindi pupuwedeng nandiyan ka habang panahon. May mga darating na mas magagaling sa iyo at matatabunan ka… Kami natutuwa na mayroong mga pinagpapala na katulad mo pero kapag ang hangin ng kayabangan at pagiging palalo ay pumapasok na sa ulo, kinakalos natin ‘yan,” Cristy stated.
Bea Alonzo’s mother was reportedly opposing the possible reconciliation between her daughter and Dominic Roque.
Veteran columnist Cristy Fermin discussed on her online show, “Showbiz Now Na,” the rumored reaction of Bea’s mother, Mary Anne Ranollo when she was informed that Dominic was making an effort to fix his relationship.
According to Cristy, Mrs. Ranollo was blocking Bea from fixing her relationship.
“Gustuhin man ni Bea na magkabalikan sila [Dominic], napakalaki no’ng porsiyento na maaaring talagang hindi na matuloy pa ang kanilang balikan at kasalan dahil kumokontra nga si Mommy Mary Anne,” said Cristy.
“‘Di ba dati sabi niya [Mary Anne] sa atin, hindi naman ako nanghihimasok sa buhay pag-ibig ng mga anak ko. Kung saan sila masaya, doon ako,” she added.
As of writing, Mrs. Ranollo has yet to elaborate why she reportedly opposed Bea and Dominic’s reconcilation.
Cristy said that Bea’s mother had many reasons for opposing Dominic’s return.
It can be recalled that there were some reports that Bea and Dominic met again after their well-publicized breakup.
Bea and Dominic were supposed to marry each other this year, but due to still unknown reasons, the two decided to end their relationship.
Tom Rodriguez approached the month of April with his performance of ‘Versace on the Floor’, originally performed by international artist Bruno Mars.
Tom recorded himself while passionately performing the said song, highlighting his signature falsetto.
However, instead of impressing the netizens, Tom received criticism due to his voice.
Some even compared him to the cartoon character Mickey Mouse.
“No one from his team told him NOT to post this??” netizen Zone said.
“Kumakaliwa ang tono mo Tom!!! Huwag mong ipilit kapatid at Baka kung mapaano ka!!!” netizen Jay said.
“Yung feel na feel mo yung music, kaso yung music hindi ka feel!” netizen Arthroe remarked.
Some even mentioned the ‘gay’ issue of Tom.
It can be recalled that Tom already denied that he was not straight.
“A lot of the best people… most of the best people I know happen to be of that persuasion. Happen to be gay. Best people I’ve known. So, kung ayun lang inaano, hindi insulto para sa akin yun,” he stated.
A devotee was facing criticism on social media after she was spotted lying down on the hearse used for the procession of Jesus Christ.
The video was taken on Holy Saturday, and the woman riding the hearse while taking a selfie on the bed where the image of Jesus Christ was supposed to be placed could be seen.
Several netizens couldn’t hide their disappointment after they saw the video.
“Marami talaga mga taong mapanadya sa panahon Nato na di manlang maisip kung tama paba ang ginagawa nila ,Sinadya pagiging Pasaway para nga nmn cool ang datingan niya… Attention seeker,” netizen Martha said.
“Bakit naman kasi ipinagkatiwala sa mga yan ng simbahan? Alam naman nila na puro kalokohan ang mga kabataan ngayon. At para kay Dabyana, pasikat ka ahh. Nicee. Next time sa parada ka ng lechon sumama. Mas sisikat ka dun,” netizen Vic remarked.
“Yan ang nangyayari SA mga taong gustong gusto kumita,, attention seeker… respito Naman po kahit Hindi Ka katoliko… wag mong gawing content Yan,” netizen Leevee commented.
As of writing, the Catholic Bishop Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) has yet to give its thoughts on the video.
The said hearse was used to transfer the image of Jesus Christ during the Holy Week procession to remind the devotees about the sacrifice of the Lord.
Cristy Fermin and her co-hosts on Showbiz Now Na talked about a certain television host who was facing financial problems after losing his bread and butter.
In their blind item segment, Cristy, Rommel Chika, and Wendell Alvarez mentioned the male TV host who was facing a major challenge after losing their daily show.
According to Rommel, the host was so proud of the things he bought and even uploaded them on social media.
However, his achievement turned into a burden when he lost his job.
“Ipit na ipit siya ngayon dahil papaano na. Pinakamahirap po mga ka-chika ‘yong matutulog ka na hindi ka dinadalaw ng antok dahil iniintindi mo ang mga bayarin mo kinabukasan,” Cristy said.
Rommel even gave a clue that the said host became so emotional when their show ended because he already knew what would happen to him financially.
They even said that the host was not receiving enough support from the netizens due to the bad reputation he got for hosting the said show.
The hosts also hinted that the car bought by the said talent might be repossessed soon.
Cristy also explained that there was a possibility that the production company bought the car for the said host and the monthly payment was being deducted from his salary.
But because their show had ended already, there was a chance that his bosses would reclaim the car.
Former child star Stefano Mori received buzz on social media after several reports indicated that he was planning to return to show business after several decades.
It can be recalled that Stefano was one of the most popular stars during the 90s and even became one of the notable love teams in the country when he was paired with Camille Prats on G-MIK.
He also became part of the JCS boyband with John Prats and Carlo Aquino.
However, Stefano decided to end his showbiz career in 2002 after he finished his last project “I Think I’m in Love.”
After 22 years, the former actor who admitted that he was not using social media, asked his wife Victoria to relay his message to his fans.
According to him, he appreciated the people who still wanted him to return to showbiz and admitted that he was surprised that he had admirers from Generation Z.
Unfortunately, Stefano set the record straight that he was not planning to return as an actor anymore.
“For the reason why I’m not coming back and why I don’t have social media. I’m 38 years old with gray hair, a luscious beard, and big boi responsibilities. Add to the fact that I started showbiz for fun when I was like 10. I also don’t have any social media accounts because I don’t feel inclined to use it, and to prevent giving fans false hope,” he wrote.
“Now if you’d like to keep showing your support, consider directing your live and creativity towards the people I’ve collaborated with who are still active in the industry,” he added.
The rumors started when some netizens noticed that Marc and Kim were spotted in the same place they had visited separately several times.
Before going on vacation with his family, Marc shared a statement to clarify that he had no connections with Kim.
“Walang katotohanan ang mga lumalabas na balita tungkol sa amin ni Ms. Kim Rodriguez. Walang namamagitan sa aming dalawa gaya ng sinasabi ng ibang tao. Nakasama ko po si Ms. Kim sa isang basketball event at sa isa pang event noong naging muse siya ng team namin,” said Marc.
“Salamat din sa nag pa abot ng concern. Ok kami ng pamilya ko. Wag na po tayo magpakalat ng mga balita na hindi totoo. Humihingi po kami ng respeto para hindi madamay ang mga anak namin ni Danica. Salamat po at God bless po,” he added.
Kim also denied that she has any close ties with Marc.
She even questioned why Consunji and Carrasco’s alleged child was using the businessman’s surname.
“You have to ask yourselves, how does his baby daughter carry the Consunji surname? As far as I know, she is not my daughter and we are still married? So are you thinking what I’m thinking?” Maggie said in her social media post.
“And yes, to my disdain, I am STILL married and I STILL carry his last name,” she added.
