Senator Raffy Tulfo revealed surprising information related to the suspicious occurrence of lotto winners under the leadership of Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office General Manager Mel Robles.

Tulfo discovered that there were two winners who won the jackpot multiple times in just 30 days, prompting the lawmaker to assume that there was fishy happening in PCSO.

“Ito nga po ang sabi ko medyo nakakataas ng kilay, meron doon na isang tao nanalo ng 20 times in one month. Meron doon 10 times in one month,” said Tulfo in an interview with DZBB.

“Siguro baka magkapangalan pero still pare-pareho ‘yung premyo ang pinanalunan…Paulit-ulit in one month… Lalong tumambak ang mga questions,” he added.

It can be recalled that Tulfo already noticed that people winning the lotto jackpot were becoming more and more frequent.

He suspected that the implementation of e-lotto contributed to the frequent winners.

“Bakit tuwing draw, parati na lang may nananalo? Ngayon, wala nang palya. Noon, nung wala pa itong e-lotto, sobrang tagal bago manalo ang kahit sino. Minsang umaabot ng isang buwan, dalawang buwan,” said Tulfo.

“Bakit tuwing draw, may nananalo na? Ngayon, walang mintis. Samantalang noon panahon na wala pa tong E-lotto, ang tagal bago panalunan. Inaabot ng isang buwan, dalawang buwan,” he added.

Meanwhile, Robles said that PCSO can easily investigate the legitimacy of Tulfo’s revelation.

Tattoo artist Whang-od received criticism on social media after she touched Piolo Pascual’s private part during the actor’s visit to Kalinga.

The said video, which was uploaded by Piolo on his social media pages received reactions from the netizens, some calling the action of the legendary ‘mambabatok’ as inappropriate.

According to some netizens, the reactions would be very different if a man committed the same act to a younger woman.

“What Apo Whang Od did is hindi tama and don’t close your eyes sa fact na iyan just because she is an icon. Imagine if it’s an old man who did that? Everyone, if not all, will be pissed off. Kaya I don’t understand bakit nagsa-san all pa kayo,” netizen Unprox said.

However, others didn’t see something wrong with Whang-Od’s actions, saying that she was known for touching her guests.

They also reminded the people that Piolo allowed Whang-Od to touch him.

“Stop contextualizing Indigenous People’s laws, customs, and practices under the lens of Philippine las. Your views on existing civil/crim laws are under the lens of foreign context which fails to recognize pre-exisitng,” netizen Inevitable remarked.

As of writing, Piolo has yet to release a statement about the reaction made by the netizens against Whang-Od.

Miss World Botswana Lesego Chombo asked her countrymen to stop criticizing Megan Young for touching her hair during the question-and-answer portion of Miss World 2024.

It can be recalled that Megan, who was crowned Miss World 2013, tried to fix Lesego’s hair.

Some Botswanian netizens accused Megan of performing witchcraft against their candidate to remove her confidence during the pageant.

However, Lesego believed that the criticism thrown by her countrymen against Megan would not help her cope with her loss.

“Batho Bame (Good People), I appreciate that you are all looking out for me, but it really doesn’t make me feel good when you bring other people down in my name or for my sake. Please be kinder, please to (Miss World 2024) Krstyna Pyszkova, to Megan, be kinder,” she wrote.

Megan already released an official statement, saying that she already apologized to Lesego, saying that she was not aware that touching someone’s hair was inapproriate in their culture.

“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,” she added.

Sobra akong nagpasalamat sa kanya,” she said.

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.

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.

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.
