Sarah Lahbati took the label ‘Gastodora’ bestowed to her by Annabelle Rama positively.

In an interview by Pep.ph, Sarah said she found the label ‘funny,’ saying that she didn’t really take it seriously.

She even encouraged the public to pamper themselves and spend their money without any restrictions.

“I don’t take anything seriously. That’s another secret to be happy. I don’t take anything seriously. If not, I will be going crazy. It’s just a funny, funny thing that’s been going around. I see it kind of everywhere now. To everyone who wants to waldas, go ahead,” she said.

However, Sarah clarified that she was a wise spender, far from the accusations of her mother-in-law.

“I’m actually quite good, very good, actually, at managing my finances for someone who grew up in Switzerland, in like the country of banking. So, I have always been quite organized with expenses, et cetera, schedules, and all that. It’s something that comes naturally to me,” she stated.

It can be recalled that Annabelle complained about how Sarah spent so much money despite not working due to her role as a housewife.

“Nakikita mo naman, hindi mo na kailangang magsalita pa. Nakikita mo na yan. Si Richard trabaho nang trabaho, yung isa nagwawaldas ng pera. Yun lang ang masasabi ko diyan,” said Annabelle.

Former Eat Bulaga host Anjo Yllana was willing to return as a ‘Dabarkads’ if ever he received an offer from his former colleagues.

During a press conference held for the show ‘Itutumba Ka ng Tatay Ko,” Anjo said that he would never refuse an offer from Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon, but at the same time, he was not optimistic about his current relationship with the legit Dabarkads.

“Hindi ko naitanong. Pero siguro medyo masama yung loob nila, kasi katapat din nila yung show na tinanggap ko,” said Anjo.

It can be recalled that Anjo left Eat Bulaga and joined another noontime show on Net25.

However, Anjo believed that his long friendship with the Dabarkads would overcome the hard feelings they felt when he left the show.

“Pero ‘yung tagal na pinagsamahan namin nina Joey, ni Tito Sen, ni Bossing, baka ilang araw lang ‘yung sama ng loob nila kasi mas malalim yung pinagsamahan namin,” he stated.

Meanwhile, Anjo gave his thoughts on the trademark battle victory of TVJ against Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc, saying that the legendary trio was the rightful owner of the Eat Bulaga title.

“Kasi, isipin mo naman, Tito, Vic and Joey, tapos iba ang pangalan ng show nila, di ba? Talagang mas bagay naman sa kanila ‘yung title na Eat Bulaga. So, happy ako na napunta na uli sa kanila yung title, na pumanig sa kanila ‘yung desisyon ng korte. Karapat-dapat talaga ang Tito, Vic and Joey na magdala ng Eat Bulaga,” he said.

As of writing, TVJ Productions has yet to give any comment on the willingness of Anjo to return as a Dabarkads.

Comedian Pokwang made a rare public apology on social media several days after she accused her former partner, Lee O’Brian, of having a ‘padrino’ to prevent him from being deported.

It can be recalled that Pokwang couldn’t hide her disappointment on social media after she discovered that Lee was still in the country despite the deportation order imposed by BI against the American actor.

“Hindi ko alam ano pa hinihintay bakit nandito payang animal nayan?” said Pokwang.

“May padrino daw e teka lang ha! Wag ganon! Baka ipa tulfo ko sya kapag ganyan!” she also said.

However, Pokwang quickly changed her tune and quickly apologized for her words.

She recognized that Lee filed a Motion for Reconsideration to appeal the decision against him.

“Aaminin ko na napakahirap ang pinagdadaanan kong ito – may mga araw na napapangunahan ako ng inis at galit. Frustrated ako dahil gusto ko nang mapaalis si Lee sa ating bansa sa lalong madaling panahon,” she said.

“Naging mabigat ang aking saloobin mula ng nagkaproblema kami ni Lee, at nagpatuloy pa ito kahit nanalo na kami sa deportation case laban sa kanya. Dahil na din siguro ito sa limitasyon ko bilang tao, bilang solo parent na nagtataguyod sa aking pamilya. Valid man itong aking mga nararamdaman, hindi ito sapat na dahilan para makapagsabi ako ng mga masakit at walang basehan na bagay sa aking kapwa, partikular sa ating mga kasahaman sa BI,” she added.

As of writing, Lee has yet to respond to the accusations made by Pokwang.

Talent manager Lolit Solis disclosed rumors about Kyline Alcantara criticizing Paolo Contis for allegedly being a bad influence on her ex-boyfriend, Mavy Legaspi.

In her Instagram post, Lolit, the manager of Paolo, warned Kyline that she must avoid blaming other people for the outcome of her relationship with Mavy.

Mavy and Paolo were co-hosts on Kapuso noontime show ‘Tahanang Pinakamasaya.’

“Dahil daw sa bad influence ni Paolo kaya nakipag break up si Kyline kay Mavy. Wow ha, talagang dapat masali ang ibang tao pag nagbi break kayo ? I have zero respect for people na nagba bad mouth sa mga naka relasyon nila after a break up. Dapat pag hiwalay kayo, no bad blood,” said Lolit.

“Tanggapin mo at mag move on ka. Lagi ko ina appreciate na after a long time ng manager/ talent relationship namin ni Gabby Concepcion wala kang narinig na sinabi niyang masama o pintas sa akin. In the same way na hindi rin ako nagsalita ng bad things about Gabby,” she added.

She also warned Kyline to stop involving other people in what happened to her relationship.

“I am giving her a warning na kung tutoo ang mga narinig ko na sinasabi niya about Paolo Contis she will never hear the end of it from me. Kung mali ang alaga ko tinatanggap ko at pinangangaralan sila, pero pag siniraan mo sila ng walang basehan, mag ingat ka dahil hindi kita uurungan. So be careful Kyline Alcantara, huwag mo idamay si Paolo Contis sa mga hanash mo kay Mavy Legazpi,” she stated.

“Mamayang 3:00pm dadalhin ako sa operating room. Lalagyan ako ng cast na. Kailangan kasi meron akong anesthesia. Hindi malalagay iyon cast kung wala akong anesthesia. Kasi hindi ko kaya, masakit kasi ‘pag hinahawakan ako,” she added.

She then thanked some casts of Batang Quiapo for the help they sent to her, especially to Coco.

“Sobrang din nagpapasalamat ako kay Direk Coco Martin at ABS na hindi nila ako pinababayaan. Sagot nila lahat ang gastos dito sa hospital. Tawag nga din ng tawag iyon field cashier ni Direk Coco at kinakamusta at kung ano daw kailangan text or tawag agad sa kanila. Salamat talaga sa kanila,” she said.

It can be recalled that since 2017, Kris has already been treated to cure a very rare illness, which made her allergic to any medicine.

To figure out what could help her recover, Kris went to America and acquired the service of the best doctors available, but being treated by the best comes with a cost.
