“PAPALAGAN KITA JAN SA DNA BASTA KAPAG TUGMA DNA NAMEN PAPAKULONG KITA PAYAG KA?” said Whamos.

According to him, he was already glad that he didn’t resemble Meteor as he didn’t want his son to become a subject of mockery online.

In another post, Whamos said that he was already looking for a company that would perform the DNA test for him and Meteor.

Businessman and singer Jojo Mendrez defended himself from the suspicions of the netizens who saw several photos of him together with Mark Herras at a luxury hotel in Paranaque.

On February 5, 2025, a Facebook page revealed some of the photos taken at the hotel, showing Jojo and Mendrez sitting and talking together.

“The person seen with Herras seem to be the uprising singer who is now trending on social media. The two spotted together in a hotel casino at around 11:30 pm last Feb 5, both seems so happy together,” the page wrote.

There were reports that some eyewitnesses saw Mark and Jojo entering a hotel room together.

In an interview with Pep.ph, Jojo admitted that he indeed met Mark at the hotel, but it was unplanned.

“Nagkita kami sa Starbucks sa Okada, pero doon kami sa bandang madilim, kasi nga siyempre iniiwasan ko na nga yung usapan na galing nga si Mark Herras sa pagsasayaw sa bar, di ba? Siyempre, pinag-uusapan yung gay-gay issue na yan. Kaya ang ginawa namin, dun kami sa may gilid na madilim sa Starbucks,” said Jojo.

When they met, Jojo discussed that he wanted Mark to do a short dance video of late actress Julie Vega’s song “Somewhere In My Past.”

Mark agreed to Jojo’s request, so they went to the latter’s room to record the content privately.

“Pinalabas na nag-check-in kami ni Mark Herras. Nang dumaan kami sa lobby, siyempre na-recogize siya [Mark] na nakitang magkasama kami. Nagpunta kami dun sa kuwarto. Kumbaga, walang malisya yun. Parang ginawan lang ng content yung sa ‘Somewhere in My Past’ ko, na nagsayaw siya,” he stated.

He also insisted that he didn’t stay with Mark in the hotel room without his manager.

“Pagkatapos niyang sumayaw, dapat maiwan ako dun, pero ayoko. Sinabi ko kina David, baka mamaya mangyari yung dati kay Sandro Muhlach, natakot ako, pag maiwan kami dun ni Mark, e. Nagkukuwentuhan lang naman kami dun. Alam mo na, baka may isyung ganun, di ba? Mahirap na. Kaya, nagkayayaan kami sa casino,” he stated.

It can be recalled that rumors that Mark was receiving indecent proposals from different individuals since he started performing at a popular gay bar.

A motorcycle rider who was supposed to only receive a ticket was now facing serious charges after his failed attempt to escape the officers of DOTr-SAICT on Friday.

According to the report, the rider used the EDSA busway illegally, which prompted the authorities to apprehend him.

However, instead of stopping, the rider kept driving even if one of the officers of SAICT already blocked his way.

The escape resulted in one of the lady enforcers colliding with the rider.

Because of the incident, SAICT chased the rider and was successfully caught.

Currently, the suspect is under the custody of the Coast Guard Investigation and Detention Management Service (CG IDMS) and is presently detained in their headquarters.

The rider was facing the following charges: Resistance and Disobedience to an Agent of Persons in Authority; Direct Assault Against an Agent of Persons in Authority; Abandonment of One’s Own Victim; Reckless Driving; and Slight Physical Injuries.

Meanwhile, the rider insisted that he couldn’t stop because of the brake failure.

“This incident underscores the unwavering stance of the DOTr-SAICT in enforcing traffic laws, emphasizing the safety of both its officers and the community. It serves as a potent reminder of the legal repercussions awaiting those who disregard traffic regulations,” SAICT statement read.

Filipino surfer Philmar Alipayo was spotted revisiting a tattoo shop after being linked to his girl best friend, Pernilla Sjoo.

During the session, Philmar’s ‘224’ tattoo was seen to be covered by a black substance, which started to raise speculations that he decided to get it removed.

However, some tattoo experts said the substance was a plaster to protect the tattoo and not remove it.

Philmar and Pernilla gained the attention of the netizens after the surfer’s partner, Andi Eigenmann, posted cryptic messages about a friend who betrayed her.

Netizens suspected Andi was referring to Pernilla, who allegedly convinced the actress several times to end her relationship with Philmar.

Philmar and Pernilla were seen having a couple tattoo together to celebrate their 10 years of friendship, which is believed to gain Andi’s ire.

The meaning of the tattoo was ‘2gether, 2morrow, 4ever,’ which symbolized their long-lasting friendship.

Andi has yet to give any update if she has already reconciled with Philmar.

Actress Andi Eigenmann clarified that her partner, Philmar Alipayo, was not cheating, and her post was all about her female friend.

The issue started when Andi posted several cryptic posts on social media about a ‘snake’ who allegedly betrayed her.

Andi’s post about her chat with an artificial intelligence platform also raised suspicions on the identity of the person being criticized by the actress.

People initially thought that she was referring to Philmar. However, a deeper investigation by the so-called ‘marites’ found that Andi was criticizing her foreign friend living in Siargao.

Some photos showed that a foreigner was seen with Philmar having a couple of tattoos, which indicates ‘224.’

According to some tattoo experts, the tattoo means ‘2day,2morrow,4ever.’

According to Andi, many people already warned her about the said individual, but she decided to ignore it.

“I have seen the red flags but chose to look beyond it. Since she was already a friend before I came into the picture. Was shy to call it out to my partner,” said Andi.

She then revealed that the said individual was trying to influence her to break up with Philmar.

“MY WHY FOR POSTING: I AM FULLY AWARE THAT MY HUSBAND NEVER CHEATED ON ME WITH THIS GIRL….. I AM ALWAYS AROUND WHEN THEY ARE TOGETHER. I POSTED BECAUSE THIS PERSON BETRAYED ME, ENCOURAGES MY HUSBAND TO BREAK UP W ME DURING EVERY FIGHT EVEN WHEN I ALSO TELL MY SIDE OF THE STORY TO HER,” she wrote.

“Yes I am hurt that my husband didnt think this would bother me, im not being dumb and ignoring that, BUT POST WAS TO JUST SHOW THAT NO NORMAL PERSON WITH GOOD INTENTIONS WOULD THINK ITS OK FOR A ‘FRIEND’ TO ENCOURAGE SOMEONE ELSE’S HUSBAND TO DO THIS WITHOUT CONSIDERING THE PARTNER’S FEELINGS,” she added.

As of writing, the foreigner has yet to give her response to Andi’s post.
