Joey de Leon reacted to some petitions who were pushing their legendary trio with Tito, and Vic Sotto to become the next National Artist in the Philippines.

According to some reports, some groups were pushing TVJ to become a national artist due to their contribution to the entertainment industry, which included hosting the longest-running noontime show Eat Bulaga.

The comedian made a witty reaction to the said petitions, saying that they would be better to be labeled as “function all artists”

“May nag-suggest gawin na raw kaming National Artists pati Eat Bulaga. Sabi ko WAG NA. Gawin nyo na lang kaming FUNCTION ALL ARTISTS! Eh kasi we’ve covered nearly everything—-radio, TV, newspaper, recording, movies, arts, politics, etc. pero seriously, starting today watch our Lenten offerings in EB. Thanks!” said Joey.

The post reached thousands of reactions on social media.

Several days before the Holy Week, a man apprehended for his unruly behavior went viral on social media due to his unusual statements.

According to the reports, the man, identified as Elmer Enriquez, 45, was put behind bars after a complainant accused him of following them for almost three days.

The authorities then discovered that Enriquez was under the influence, which explained his behavior.

However, instead of denying his vices, Enriquez proudly proclaimed that he was a user.

He also insisted that people should stop touching him because it was against the “law of God,”

“Under the law of God sa Bible, you cannot touch me. I am God, I am Jesus Christ,” Enriquez said. “You cannot touch me, I am Jesus Christ in flesh. I am untouchable,”

“This is illegal. You have nothing against me, you cannot touch me I am Jesus Christ… Lahat kayo, lahat ng kaluluwa ninyo akin,” he added.

Enriquez also said that Mama Mary is his mother.

Amid the copyright issue she was facing, Shaira Moro revealed that she was soon to release her solo album ‘Manifestations.’

In her Facebook post, Shaira revealed that she collaborated with different artists from Mindanao to promote the ‘ORIGINAL’ Bangsamoro music in the country.

“Nais ko pong i-promote na sa mga darating na araw ay sisimulan na po ang dahan-dahang paglabas ng mga panibago kong awitin mula sa aking New Ep Album na pinamakagataang “Manifestations”, Ang mga awitin na nakapaloob dito ay hango sa reyalidad, kadalasang pinagdadaanan natin sa araw araw at aking mga naranasan,” she said.

Shaira said that she would work again with the same music producers and composers who were also facing copyright issues for allegedly copying some song melodies from different artists.

“Ang mga awitin dito ay mula sa sulat ng aking napakahusay na Song Writer Sir AG Glang at mula sa produksyon ng aking natatanging record label na AHS Productions,” she said.

Some of Shaira’s song was already removed from online platforms after some netizens noticed its similarities to some songs produced by Australian artist Lenka, and some singers from Indonesia.

Due to the issues she was facing, Shaira was also called as the ‘Queen of copyright’ by some netizens.

The Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) discovered that Golden Retriever Killua was positive for the rabies virus.

According to a report from Rappler, people who Killua possibly bit must get medication as soon as possible to prevent the virus from reaching their nervous system.

It can be recalled that the man who ended Killua’s life, Anthony Solares, a barangay tanod in Bicol, insisted that the golden retriever was already biting people, which forced him to do what he believed was necessary.

“Ginawa ko lang po ‘yung nararapat dun sa ano. Kasi ‘yung matanda nga kung hindi ko pa tinulungan baka kung ano pang mangyari nun. Tinulungan ko na,” Solares said.

“Hinabol ko na kasi ‘yung aso kasi nangangat na. Bale nakadalawang kagad na siya tapos mun tikan pa nga ‘yung asawa ko… Maski nga ako naano na, nakagat na ako kaya kung baga sa ano ay talagang ano na siya, talagang wala na sa sarili ‘yung aso, parang ano na talaga. Lahat ng nakakasalubong niya, parang gusto niya pang anuhin, ‘yung parang gusto pang kagatin.

“Wala na akong ibang naisipan talagang anuhin na, baka makaano pa ng ibang tao. Inano ko muna ng bato tapos pinalo ko na ng ano, kahoy,” he added.

A dog infected by the rabies virus may become aggressive.

However, PAWS head Anna Cabrera said that Solares still has no right to end Killua’s life even if the dog had rabies as only veterinarians are authorized to handle such cases.

A comment from Kapamilya actor Ronnie Alonte’s fan went viral on social media due to its bizarre message.

In his live stream, Ronnie was interacting with his fans, when netizen ‘Jenny’ made an unusual request to the actor.

“Ronnie duraan moko sa mukha,” the netizen said.

Some netizens couldn’t stop themselves from calling out Jenny for her request.

It can be recalled that last January, actor Christian Vasquez also received a bizarre message from a female fan.

“Naalala ko non halus magkaedad lng tau naglalock aq ng kuarto para lng ikoskos sa rosas ko taas baba ang picture mo na naka brief heheh,” the netizen told Christian.

Unlike Christian, Ronnie didn’t respond to the fan.

Actor Piolo Pascual admitted his status with Shaina Magdayao amid rumors about the real status of their relationship.

In an interview on March 11 with talent manager Ogie Diaz, Piolo said that he didn’t intend to hide his relationship with Shaina and insisted that they’re still in the dating stage.

“Sa tanda nating ‘to, what you see is what you get. I’m not trying to hide anything or do something. If it’s there, if it’s happening, people are gonna see it. If there’s anything, people are gonna know anyway,” said Shaina.

According to Piolo, he’s not yet planning to settle and wants to enjoy life.

“Masarap ‘yung tinatahak nating path ngayon… Maganda ‘yung demand ngayon for content, nag-iiba ‘yung landscape ng entertainment… I’m married to my job,” he stated.

It was reported that Shaina and Piolo had been dating for several years already.

“(Shaina) and I are mahirap i-label, I guess. So whatever it is, I guess we just have to mutually respect everyone involved and not to talk more about it. Kasi ang hirap, nagkakaedad ka and I’ve been with her for five years na, exclusively dating but I know and she knows that we don’t date out of what we have,” said Piolo.

Meanwhile, Shaina never talked about her relationship with Piolo.

Bayambang, Pangasinan Mayor Niña Jose went viral on social media after she complained about the smell of the microphone she used during a speech she delivered before her constituents.

“Can I change the mic? There’s bad breath here. Sorry, ang baho talaga nung mic,” she said.

Millions of netizens have watched the video clip, but most criticized the mayor for being dramatic and not being down-to-earth.

To address the criticism, Jose uploaded the original video highlighting that the clip circulated on the internet was edited to make fun of her.

She clarified that no one previously used the mic and she only made such a statement as a joke.

“Ang microphone ay hindi ginamit ng sinuman bago ko gamitin bagkus ito ay naitago ng matagal kaya marahil nag-cause ng hindi magandang amoy. Hindi ko iyon nasabi to malign or magpahiya ng tao,” she said.

“Kilala rin ako ng aking close friends at ng aking LGU family sa pagbibitaw ng mga weird statements. That time talagang hindi maganda ang amoy ng microphone. If ever I have to apologize, I will apologize to the microphone because nasabi kong mabaho na ito,” she added.

She then asked the netizens to stop judging her quickly by watching a short clip.

Since becoming the Queen of Bangsamoro Pop, Shaira Moro slowly became the Queen of Copyright after another song of hers was tagged as copied by another foreign artist.

On social media, several netizens couldn’t stop comparing Shaira’s song, “Babaero” to the song by Indonesian singer Siti Badriah, “Lagi Shantik.”

They noticed that like other controversial songs released by Shaira, Babaero also had the same melody as the foreign song.

Some netizens also swarmed Siti Badriah’s social media pages to inform her about Shaira’s song.

It can be recalled that several netizens joined hands to report the possibly copied song released by Shaira to its original singer.

Some of the songs released by Shaira have already been removed from online platforms.

As her upcoming new album was set to release, several fans advised Shaira to hire a better team to avoid facing more issues in the future.

Some experts also believed that Shaira should also become more careful now due to her newfound fame.

Indonesian band Papinka addressed the netizens after some Filipinos informed them of the possible copying done by the Bangsamoro Queen of Pop, Shaira on one of the songs.

It can be recalled that Shaira’s “Forever Single,” was allegedly similar with Papinka’s song, “Masih Mencitainya,” prompted several Filipinos to inform the band about it.

“Pilipino po ako kaya nalulungkot ako sa kababayan ko na si shaira sobrang mali po talaga ginawa nya sana maging aral sa lahat na gustong gumawa ng sariling kanta.. Mahal ko kayo,” netizen Nicolonico_28 said.

As a response,  Papinka addressed not only Shaira, but also other artists, saying that they were fine with someone covering their songs as long as they would ask for permission.

The band also called people who were trying to earn income by copying someone’s song as ‘theft’.

“I hope musicians respect other people’s properties, their music covers are fine, but you must ask permission to use any song melody before uploading it,” the band wrote.

“Credit is not given if you earn income from the song, it’s theft,” they added.

Aside from Papinka, Shaira was also facing a copyright issue for allegedly copying the melody of other artists’ song.

Meanwhile, one of the DJs working with Shaira called out the netizens who criticized the Bangsamoro Pop Queen.’

“Ito lang ang masasabi ko at itatak nyo sa isip nating mga pinoy. Humingi rin ba kayo nang permiso kay Shaira at ang AHS Channel tungkol sa kanta na inilabas namin na nacopyright dahil din sa mga pinoy at pagkakitaan nyo sa mga vlog nyo? Diba wala? Naki alam ba kami sa inyo?” DJ Charles wrote.
