Actress Aiko Melendez gave a clue about the celebrity-vlogger she criticized for snubbing her collaboration offer.

In her Facebook post on February 1, Aiko swiped against the celebrity, saying he was friendly towards her when they became co-stars in a project, so she was surprised why the latter became snobby towards her.

“Etong artista na naka work ko dati, minessage ko baka pwede mag collab kami. After so many attempts of messages…. Sumagot na sorry po di ako nakikipag collab po eh. Taray!!! Understandable naman kung busy siya kasi pareho naman kami busy and sumubok lang naman ako. Kasi kala ko friends kami since naka work ko na siya dati,” Aiko said.

In another post, she posted several hints about the celebrity’s identity and expressed that she was still open to collaborate with him.

“On the contrary iintindihin ko nalang siya bilang mas nakakabata siya sa akin bagets pa si O na lalaki eh. Baka kapag napag isip isip niya na sa vlogging world boring ang mag isa ka lagi sa contents mo open pa din naman ako pero check ko sched ko pa din,” she said.

Several netizens mentioned names, including Jak Roberto, Alex Gonzaga, Andrea Brillantes, and others.

Only Alex and Andrea were removed from the list by Aiko herself.

Netizens noticed Bea Alonzo was not wearing the engagement ring she received from her boyfriend, Dominic Roque.

In an Instagram post, several netizens who followed the actress noticed her ring finger was empty.

Designer Earl Semitara posted a photo showing his meeting with Bea, Kathryn Bernardo, Sarah Lahbati, and others.

In the photo, Bea was not wearing her engagement ring, which sparked separation rumors between her and Dominic.

Ironically, Kathryn and Sarah also faced controversy due to their relationship status.

Kathryn already confirmed her breakup with Daniel Padilla, while Sarah was already giving several hints about her rumored separation from Richard Gutierrez.

Netizens couldn’t stop checking Bea and asking about her current status.

“Para ngang wala na silang pinopost tapos di narin sinusuot ni bea ung engagement ring na binigay ni Dom,” a netizen said.

“Bea’s not wearing her engagement ring since last week. No ganaps na rin sila ni Dom. Dom is also sad boi in his igs lately,” another netizen commented.

The celebrity couple got engaged on July 18, after Dominic surprised his partner, who thought they would only do a photoshoot.

They’re expected to tie the knot this year.

Veteran columnist Cristy Fermin couldn’t hide her disappointment with Claudine Barretto, who recently went viral on social media after she publicly criticized Angelu de Leon during a party organized by Gladys Reyes.

It can be recalled that Claudine openly told Gladys that she didn’t want Angelu to be part of their reunion project.

Claudine then told Pep.ph that she was unhappy with Angelu’s alleged habit of talking about other people’s issues.

“Kung wala kang magawa, tumahimik ka na lang, di ba? Ang career mo ang pag-usapan mo, huwag yung career ko. Yun lang ang ano ako. Kaya ayaw ko siyang makatrabaho,” she said.

“Kasi, parang hindi siya nagbago. Nung bata pa lang kami hanggang ngayon, ganoon pa rin siya,” she added.

However, Cristy believed that Claudine’s acts during the event were inappropriate.

“Anibersaryo ng mag-asawang Christopher Roxas at Gladys Reyes ang kanyang pinuntahan niyang piging. At birthday ng panganay nilang si Christophe, na napaka-gwapo na pumirma na ng kontrata sa Star Music. Hindi naman kanya yun, bakit siya nagpa-bibo, nagpa-bida?” Fermin said.

According to Cristy, if Claudine were in the right mind, she would respect the event and avoid divisive statements.

“Kung ikaw ay isang taong nag-iisip, kung pinagusapan ninyo yung pelikula na magkakasama pala sina Judy Ann, Gladys, at Angelu, at si Claudine. Kung si Claudine ay nasa tamang wisyo, at narinig niya ang pangalan ni Angelu de Leon, bilang respeto sa kaharap niya na nagse-celebrate ng kanilang anibersaryo, dapat hindi siya nag-ganun ng mga salita. ‘Ay kasama ba natin siya?’ that would have been enough,” she stated.

Kylie Padilla posted a short message amid the rift between President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and former President Rodrigo Duterte.

In her post, Kylie said she was sad about what was happening in the country.

“Ang lungkot ko lng para sa pilipinas hay,” said Kylie.

It can be recalled that the rift between the Marcoses and the Dutertes created division among the netizens on social media.

The issue started when Duterte accused Marcos of being on the PDEA’s watchlist.

Duterte also disappointed Marcos by allowing the People Initiative to proceed despite the controversy surrounding it.

Meanwhile, Marcos said that Duterte’s mind might not sound anymore as he was taking Fentanyl.

However, Duterte said that he already stopped taking the said medicine a long time ago and even challenged Marcos to do a test together.

Veteran columnist Jobert Sucaldito and Chaps Manansala discussed the possible cause of Kim Chiu’s decision to end her relationship with Xian Lim.

In the latest episode of “Oras ng Opinyon, Talakayan, at Diskusyon,’ the hosts discussed the rumors that Kim discovered Xian’s true self.

“Walang lumalabas na mga dahilan kung bakit sila naghiwalay. Pero matunog ang usap-usapan ng mga marites na kaya raw naghiwalay sina Kim at saka si Xian dahil nabuking daw ni Kim na si Xian Lim ay bading,” Jobert said.

However, Jobert said there’s nothing wrong if the rumors are true.

“Nagulat ako. Kasi unang-una, I know Xian. I don’t think he’s bading… And if ever he’s gay, so anong problema? Being gay is beautiful. Masaya,” he stated.

It can be recalled that last December 2023, Kim announced that her 12-year romance with Xian was over.

“We owe our supporters the truth, but we also respect each other’s time of healing. In a relationship, love is always a significant factor, but sometimes love is not enough,” said Chiu. “We shared more than a decade of love, each other’s support system, and many beautiful memories,” said Kim.

“It was our mutual decision to transition our relationship into what we hope to be a lifelong friendship. We thank all our followers for their love and support, but now we ask you to appreciate our honesty and give us the privacy we need as we begin new chapters of our lives. To all our supporters, maraming salamat for all the love and understanding,” she added.

A contestant at the 2024 Rodeo King & Queen pageant held in San Pablo, Isabela was ‘unbothered’ by the criticism she received on social media due to her answer during the Q&A portion of the event.

On January 27, 2024, contestant Lala Cheena Mae Bautista, the representative of Barangay Poblacion, went viral on social media due to her answer to the question.

“If you were a genie in a bottle, who would you like to serve as your master,” the host asked Bautista.

“Good evening everyone… If I was a genie in a bottle, I would like to serve my mother as my master… Because all I can say about our situation is whatever who you are where you from, your skin color, your gender identity just speak yourself, find your voice, find your name by speaking yourself, thank you,” she said.

The video received millions of views on social media and hundreds of hilarious comments from the netizens.

Bautista, who won the pageant despite his Q&A performance, showed she was not bothered by the comments against her and some doubts about how she won the contest.

Bautista won several awards, including Best in Swimsuit, Creative Rodeo Attire, and Best in the evening gown.

Roderick Paulate admitted that there was a time that he thought of pursuing his now BFF Carmi Martin.

In an interview with Boy Abunda, they asked the actor and politician if he ever fell in love with his friend.

According to Roderick, while the possibility of courting Carmi slipped into his mind, he decided not to pursue it it.

“Kasi nung panahon namin nakita ko ‘yung nakaaligid, mga mestiso eh. Ako naman magaling naman makiramdam. Parang sa nakita ko parang hindi ata ako puwede pumasok diyan. Realistic. Alam ko naman kung saan ako pupwesto,” he said.

It can be recalled that Carmi and Roderick hosted a variety show, which made them closer.

Roderick also said that his priority during that time was his career.

“But okay lang. Kaya lang hindi lang siguro panahon pa—’yong panahong ‘yon, ha—especially, humility aside, nasa peak tayo ng career. Parang hindi ako naka-focus doon. Mas naka-focus sa ako career at pamilya,” he stated.

As a close friend, Carmi was one of the individuals who supported Roderick when he was convicted of graft.

She also shared Roderick’s short statement following the decision.

‘I believe in prayers,’ Martin quoted Paulate’s message to her.
