“Your heartbreak should have been a private matter, but you have selfishly turned it into something of national concern. Bea, you wanted to keep your hands clean by not mentioning me in your controversial post, but with a click of your finger, in your sly way, you have charged everybody to destroy me FOR YOU,” she added.

Cebuano rapper Jed Andrew Salera, popularly known as Range 999, was put under the custody of the authorities after a hot pursuit against him.

On Sunday, March 17, Salera was captured by CCTV footage while arguing with 37-year-old foreign national Michael George Richey at a resort and hotel in Lahug, Cebu City.

The footage showed Salera using a weapon against Richey despite being stopped by his group.

According to the suspect, Richey became very disrespectful to his female friends during their encounter at a bar.

He insisted that there was enough reason for him to defend his colleagues from the foreigner.

Salera even said that the foreigner still touched his female friends, which forced him to do the act.

“Hindi kami gagawa ng kasalanan sa isang tao kung wala siyang ginawang masama. Gusto ko lang malaman ng lahat na hindi ‘to mangyayari kung wala siyang ginawa sa mga kasama namin,” Salera said in Cebuano.

However, the authorities said that Salera confronted the foreigner outside the bar.

The rapper faced multiple charges from the authorities, but it was still unknown if the foreigner would also pursue charges against Salera.

During a press conference for the newest campaign of GMA, Paolo asked their fans to support Bubble Gang until it reach their 50th anniversary, which Tahanang Pinakamasaya failed to achieve.

“Siyempre hindi magiging kumpleto ang ‘Bubble Gang’, kung hindi niyo kami sasamahan. Tulungan niyo kami dahil gusto naming paabutin ng 50 years ang ‘Bubble Gang’!” said Paolo.

“Yung isang show kasi, hindi umabot ng 50 years. Pero okey lang. Hahahaha!” he added.

He also denied that he was disappointed with GMA Network executives for giving up on the noontime show produced by Television and Productions Exponents Incorporated (TAPE Inc.).

“Ako wala po akong wish, at nais ko lang pong magpasalamat sa inyong suporta, sa suporta ng GMA-7 sa akin. Again, I wanna thank GMA for always supporting me, for always supporting the show,” he stated.

“May kumalat po na may tampo ako sa GMA. Hindi po `yon totoo. Pero pagbigyan na po natin ang mga nagkakalat noon, content po nila `yon, para sa kanila `yon. Pero it’s not true. I love GMA. And I’m very thanful sa GMA,” he added.

It can be recalled that Paolo was the one who received the most criticism from the netizens after the announcement of Tahanang Pinakamasaya’s closure as he was the one who often expressing his thoughts on air about the legal battle between TAPE Inc. and former Eat Bulaga hosts, Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon.

“Meron pa pong maglala dito,” Captain’s Peak manager Julieta Sablas said. “Hindi ko na i-mention ang resort, pero kayo na ang mag imbestiga,” 

However, the management of Sagbayan Peak and Bud Agta denied the accusations, saying that they have proper documents to operate, including an Environmental Compliance Certificate or ECC.

“Siyempre baka pati kami pagdiskitahan. Pero baka hindi rin kasi kumpleto naman kami ng papeles, lalo na yung ECC,” An employee of one of the resorts mentioned by Sablas told ABS-CBN news.

They even showed the documents to the press to prove they were legally operating a business in Chocolate Hills.

Bud Agta also built a billboard to inform the public that they complied with the environmental guidelines.

The government already launched an investigation against the said establishments and may possibly demolish if they were proven not following environmental laws.

Content creator and toy collector Yexel Sebastian was facing serious charges for allegedly luring his followers to invest in a bogus company.

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) already filed syndicated estafa, a non-bailable offense against Sebastian.

According to NBI official Atty. Palmer Mallari, Sebastian was allegedly involved in a P50-B scam.

This was Sebastian’s statement to his followers:

“Siguro panahon na para ipagtanggol ko ang sarili ko at buo kong pamilya. Ayaw ko sana magsalita dahil kahit magmukha kaming masama at basura sa buong Pilipinas ay tatanggapin ko maiyos lang nang malumanay at tahimik pero kabaligtaran ang nangyari naging sobrang ingay na. Pati kaligtasan namin ay nalagay na sa alanganin. Masakit makita ang buong pamilya mo na umiiyak para sa kaligtasan namin ni Mikee and Zyph kaya palagay ko ito na ang tamang panahon,” [It’s time to defend myself and my whole family. I don’t want to speak up because even if we appeared bad and looked like trash in the Philippines, I’d accept all the negative comments just to fix everything peacefully, but what happened was the opposite. Even our safety has been put at stake. It’s painful to see my family pleading for me, Mikee, and Zyph’s safety, so I think this is the right time.]
