Internet personality Julie Eigenmann shared one of the most memorable moments during the interment of award-winning actress Jaclyn Jose.

In her Instagram post, Julie shared a photo of a butterfly landed on FPJ’s Batang Quiapo leading actor Coco Martin’s shirt.

“Gusto sa ‘yo,” Julie told Coco.

Coco almost became emotional as he believed that Jaclyn was trying to say her final goodbye to him.

Many Filipinos believed that one’s soul was using insects like butterflies to communicate with their loved ones before departing to their final destination.

It can be recalled that Jaclyn and Coco were close friends and also co-stars on Batang Quiapo.

Coco also recognized how Jaclyn helped him during his early years in showbiz.

Coco also expressed his love towards Jaclyn during his eulogy for the actress.

“Mommy Jane, sa totoo lang, kung ano man meron ako ngayon, kung ano man ang nangyari sa pamilya ko, kung ano man ang inabot ko sa buhay ko, lahat ’yun dahil sa ’yo…Kasi ikaw, dahil sa ’yo, ikaw ang nag-convince sa ’kin na pumunta ako do’n sa ABS-CBN, do’n sa show na binibigay sa ’kin ni Direk Andoy. Sobra akong nagpasalamat sa kanya,” she said.

Jaclyn passed away last March 2 due to heart problems.

Influencer Toni Fowler expressed her frustration with her partner, Tito Vince, for not making an effort to have a baby with her.

In one of the episodes of Toro Family’s reality show, Toni became emotional as she mentioned her struggles with her goal to have a baby with Vince.

Toni’s frustration also pushed her to take birth control pills so she would not expect anything from Vince.

In the said conversation, Toni blamed Vince’s online game habit, which became a reason why she was being ignored by the latter.

Vince only apologized for his actions.

Meanwhile, several netizens said that they got Toni’s point, saying that Vince must also give time to his partner.

“I get toni’s point ,kasi most of the time ang lalaki kapag nasa long term relationship na parang sobrang kampanti na sila at parang namimiss mo na talaga yung mga ginagawa at effort nung nasa 1month or bago pa lang kayo,” a netizen said.

However, a netizen also reminded Toni that she must also do an effort and help herself not to avoid stress if she really wanted to have another child.

“Pano ka mabubuntis e lagi kang stress iniisip mo problema ng ibang tao. How will God give you a child e kung si Tyronia mismo nanglilimos ng oras sayo. Know your assets, keep it and remove your liabilities. You can still help them kahit hindi na kayo magkakasama sa bahay,” another netizen said.

It can be recalled that the two have been in a relationship since 2022.

Filipina beauty queen Megan Young addressed the netizens in Botswana after she was accused of witchcraft during the question and answer portion of Miss World 2024.

It can be recalled that some Botswanians interpreted Megan’s gesture toward Miss World  Botswana Lesego Chombo as witchcraft to remove her confidence during the portion.

Some of them also reminded Megan that touching someone’s hair was not really a good gesture towards black people.

In a statement, Megan recognized the criticism thrown against her and shared that she apologized privately to Lesego for what she did.

“Last night during the final, I fixed Lesego Chombo’s (Miss Botswana) hair on stage. I wanted to offer a helping hand but I failed to oversee the bigger picture. This could have caused distress during that moment and I have been made aware that culturally, this is unacceptable,” she said.

“We have spoken privately last night at the hotel and I have apologized to Lesego in private. To those who witnessed the incident, I also want to apologize for any discomfort or confusion my actions may have caused. It was a thoughtless and disrespectful act, and I take full responsibility for it.

“I assure you that it was not my intention to invade personal space or make anyone feel uncomfortable. I deeply regret my actions and will strive to be more mindful and respectful in the future,” she added.

Meanwhile, Lesego already urged her fans on social media to stop criticizing Megan.

It can be recalled that people in Botswana still believed in witchcraft.

Botswana blamed Miss World 2013 Megan Young’s gesture towards Miss Botswana Lesego Chombo for losing the title of Miss World 2024.

During the said pageant, Megan could be seen trying to fix the hair of Lesego during the question-and-answer segment.

However, some Botswanian netizens believed that Megan performed black magic against Lesego, which resulted in their contestant losing.

Some Botswanian netizens even posted a video to prove how Megan performed witchcraft against their contestant.

“In my own opinion, that presenter wasn’t fixing Lesego’s hair. And there was nothing wrong with her hair. The presenter wanted to remove Lesego’s confidence and also show judges that it wasn’t her natural hair but a wig,” a Botswanian netizen said.

“Today our Queen was restless tota…she could feel the negative vibes brought by the judges and that made her weaker inside though she confidently responded to the questions…. the Masons vs the kingdom of light…..” another netizen wrote.

However, Filipino fans quickly defended the Filipina beauty queen, saying that Megan has no supernatural ability to perform magic.

Many people in Botswana still believed in witchcraft and people being accused as witches in the said country often experienced bad treatment.

In black culture, it’s also not a good gesture to touch someone’s hair.

They were often blamed in their country for misfortunes happening.

As of writing, Megan already apologized for her gestures, saying that she didn’t mean any bad intention towards Miss Botswana.

Fans expressed concern to television host and actor Buboy Villar after he suddenly became inactive on social media since the end of Kapuso noontime show ‘Tahanang Pinakamasaya.’

“Noh ma balita boy? Vlog ka ulit bakasyon kana ngaun daming namimis colab nyo ni @jelaiandresofficial,” netizen pass said.

“Jobless buboy.. bumalik ka na lng sa paresan mo,” netizen leftyflipper commented.

Critics also noticed the social media break by Buboy, who also became vocal during the well-publicized legal battle between TVJ and TAPE Inc. over the Eat Bulaga title trademark.

Some of them even remembered Buboy’s post, urging people to choose ‘better’ instead of ‘bitter.’

Meanwhile, Buboy’s co-host, Paolo Contis still refused to give any interview amid the closure of Tahanang Pinakamasaya.

Veteran columnist Lolit Solis expressed her concern on some news linking the late actor Mark Gil over the passing of late actress Jaclyn Jose.

It can be recalled that the former couple met while filming “Itanong Mo sa Buwan” and dated for two years, while in a relationship, they had one child, Andi Eigenmann.

Despite parting away in 2014, Lolit said that Mark was still mentioned in some news amid Jaclyn’s untimely passing.

“Salve alam mo ba na bothered ako sa mga lumalabas na balita tungkol sa mga Eigenman lately? Lalo pa nga pag nababanggit ang pangalan ni Mark Gil na tatay nila Andi at Gabby Eigenman,” Lolit wrote.

“Kasi nga nakasama namin for almost one month sa Europe nuon nila Ethel Ramos at Direk Gil Portes si Mark Gil ng mag shooting sila nila Vilma Santos at isa si Mark Gil sa pinakamabait na artista na nakilala namin. Magalang, mabait at hindi namin malilimutan very gentleman sa lahat ng kasama niya.

“Siguro naman lahat nasabi na tungkol sa buhay ni Jacklyn Jose kaya hindi na siguro dapat pang pahabain ang iba pang bagay. Igalang na lang natin ang mga ala alang naiwan at huwag ng buksan pa ang mga hindi dapat buksan. Ipagdasal na lang natin ang katahimikan ng mga kaluluwa ng mga namatay, at huwag ng isali ang hindi dapat isali,” she added.
