“I’m so broken to hear about your passing. My dearest sister Mercy Sunot, i will forever miss your beautiful soul. Beyond shocked and speechless but No more pain 😪😪😪
May you rest in peace my lovie. Until we meet again. I love you,” Angel Pe Awayan post.

In a video she published on her social media page, she gave an update on her condition, saying that she couldn’t breathe properly because of lung inflammation.

“Tapos na ‘yung surgery ko sa lungs. Pero biglang nahirapan akong huminga. So dinala ako sa ICU. Tapos ngayon, may inflammation ‘yung lungs ko so ginagawan na nila ng paraan… Steroids ang pinainom sa akin ng doctor para sa inflammation,” she said.

“‘Pag-pray niyo ko na matatapos ‘tong pagsubok na ‘to. ‘Pag-pray niyo ako.” she added.

In another post, Mercy hinted that she had lung and breast cancer.

Mercy became one of the foundations of Aegis and was remembered for her powerful rock voice.

Together with her bandmates, they popularized timeless OPM songs like Halik, Luha, and Sayang na Sayang.

They also became popular with their Christmas Jingles, such as the Christmas Bonus.

The band was still active and performing, but the absence of Mercy during their gigs may affect their performances.

Television host Boy Abunda made a huge revelation about Ogie Alcasid’s wealth.

During the Fast Talk with Boy Abunda aired on November 12, 2024, Boy asked Ogie about their banking business in Batangas.

According to Ogie, his family formerly owned the Rural Bank of Taal and his father also founded the Batangas Savings Bank.

An article in 2014 labeled Ogie as the most famous stockholder of the Rural Bank of Taal.

Ogie’s brother, Tony Alcasid, was the president of the said bank, according to an article published in 2018.

Tito Boy praised Ogie for being humble despite their wealth.

“Napakayaman niyo pero ni kailanman ay hindi mo ipinaramdam na mayaman ka at hindi kami mayaman,” said Boy.

“Matagal na tayong magkaibigan, may-ari po ito ng mga bangko,” he added.

Ogie also received positive comments from the netizens.

“True sobrang humble ni ogie saka sobrang sentimental nya bilis nya lumuha,” said netizen Emmanuel.

“Mayaman tlga angkan nya dito sa amin sa Batangas… May ari pa cla sinehan bangko at iba pa… mayaman sapul cla,father nya mayaman noon pa man,” netizen Lauren commented.

“Maraming old rich, Hindi talaga showy sa kanilang kayamanan. Mas simple pang kumilos kesa dun sa bagong yaman,” netizen Belle remarked.

After the failure of the Philippines to reach the top 12 of Miss Universe 2024, many netizens plead with businessman Chavit Singson to buy the organization.

Thai businesswoman Anne Jakkaphong Jakrajutatip bought Miss Universe for $20-M (P1.1-B) in 2022, raising doubts about the pageant’s integrity.

Netizens on different social media platforms urged Singson to buy the pageant’s franchise, a sign that many Filipinos trust the businessman to handle the organization better than Jakrajutatip.

Singson reacted to some of the posts and even hinted that he might consider the netizens’ suggestion.

“Bibilhin ko ang buong Miss Universe organization kung si Senyora yung representative natin next year,” said Chavit.

Meanwhile, Singson also cited how Philippine tourism was helped by hosting the country’s Miss Universe in 2016.

Singson sponsored the hosting of Miss Universe in the Philippines, spending $15 million  (P880-M).

Former President of the Miss Universe Organization Paula Shugart said that the Philippines earned more than $500 million worth of media mileage during its hosting.

It was small compared to the $20-M price paid by the Thai Businesswoman to own the pageant.

It’s not yet known if Singson would attempt to buy the organization.

A lawyer criticized the decision of Miss Universe Philippines to let Chelsea Manalo represent the country on the Miss Universe 2024.

It can be recalled that Chelsea missed the top 12 of the Miss Universe 2024 during its coronation night in Mexico on November 17.

Despite not winning the grand title, Chelsea was declared as ‘Miss Asia’ and would be tasked to represent the Miss Universe organization in different engagements that would be held in the largest continent.

However, lawyer Wilfredo Garrido was not satisfied with PH’s performance in this year’s Miss Universe pageant, saying that we chose a candidate with too much dark skin.

“Sabi ko na nga ba. We tend to overdo our Miss Universe efforts. Naghanap tayo ng morena, somobra naman pagka itim. Sa gown, tattoo ni Whang Od ginaya. Yung isa ginawa pa eroplano. Tama na exotic. Just follow conventional good taste,” she said.

Atty. Garrido even said that Miss Universe PH should have been chosen Miss Laguna Alexandra Mae Rosales.

Some of Atty. Garrido’s friends agreed with what the lawyer said.

“Chelsea is beautiful. She radiates kindness. Judges cannot see each candidate’s inner beauty and values unless they sit down and get to know them better. so they are judged more so by their outward appearance. sad to say, most judges tend to have the appetite for caucasians and hispanics. whatever happened to beautiful with a heart?” netizen Anna said.

“Same. Expected ko na hindi sya makakapasok. Hindi nga sya napansin during MUPH, yong isang Manalo ang matunog, actually most awarded pa nga and nanalo pang People’s Choice. Kaso iba ang mindset ng mga judges lalo ng yong director si Supsup at yong si Gafud. kaya the crowd was so disappointed when I watched it live sa MOA. Well this is just my personal opinion. Hindi pa tapos, nagsialisan na ang audience like 80% lumayas na agad sa arena. Ganyan ang sentimiento namin,” netizen Roxanne remarked.

Ai-Ai delas Alas ended her silence after Chloe San Jose’s reaction to her breakup with Gerald Sibayan.

In a Facebook post, Ai-Ai commented on a post made by Director Darryl Yap.

The director asked Chloe why she was so upset with Ai-Ai labeling her the ‘girlfriend’ of two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo.

“Ano kayang kinaoffend ni Goldie sa sinabi ni Mama Ai na “Girlfriend ka pa lang” Ano ba gusto niya? TREASURER?” said

Ai-Ai then responded to Darryl, saying that Chloe cannot handle him and her daughter, Sophia delas Alas.

“Hahahahaa baby D (Darryl) … nakupo d ka nya kaya pati yang anak ko nakupo ulit,” she wrote.

It can be recalled that Sophia confronted Chloe on her social media page and even challenged the latter for a meet-up.

“Matapang ka? Public mo naman post mo regarding my mom. Kita tayo sa Manila? Matapang ka eh,” she stated.

However, instead of directly accepting the challenge, Chloe became defensive, saying that her post against Ai-Ai was not meant to be seen by the public.

Why didn’t I make the post public? Because I do not involve myself in other people’s private lives PUBLICLY (especially without understanding and knowing the full story) and contribute to you all’s clown and fake entertainment,” she said.

Fashion icon and actress Heart Evangelista couldn’t help but feel emotional as she recalled her experience with her ‘most loyal soldiers.’

During the episode of Heart World, the actress admitted that she couldn’t forgive herself, hinting that she allowed herself to be betrayed by her trusted people.

“She had no idea what was coming for her. I really felt like maybe to a point na minsan hanggang ngayon, ‘di ko pa rin ma-forgive ‘yung sarili ko kasi at the end of the day, kahit sila ‘yung mga kasama ko no’n, ako pa rin ang gumawa,” she said.

“Actually, sobrang sakit itong part na ‘to kasi I felt like I was sleeping with my most loyal soldiers, but I woke up as a ghost. They killed me in my sleep.”

Heart also said that she showed her worst side to her ‘loyal soldiers,’ but what she received was the opposite of what she was expecting.

“Kasi kung mapapakita ko ‘yung worst side ko sa kanila, I thought mananaig ‘yung pinakita kong puso ko sa kanila. So ‘yun ‘yung pinakamasakit,” she stated.

It can be recalled that Heart had a feud with her former glam team, who had just transferred to Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach.

Heart’s fans accused the former glam team of giving all the actress’ fashion houses’ contacts to Pia so their new boss could attend fashion shows also.

However, Justin Soriano, one of Heart’s former glams, denied the allegations.

“Pia never ever stole any contacts or whatever. Lalo na kami. We are only glam team and hindi nga namin kilala or close mga PR. Also PIA is PIA! She has walked the runway in new york when she was miss universe,” said Justin. “She already attended a lot of fashion shows in new york way back 2015! So that cheating thing is actually invented so people can draw hate towards pia,”

Director Darryl Yap reacted to the feud between Ai-Ai and Sophia delas Alas vs. Chloe San Jose.

In his post, Darryl couldn’t understand why Chloe was so disappointed when Ai-Ai told her to know her place amid the family issue being faced by her boyfriend, Carlos Yulo.

“Kung wala ‘yung nanay niya, wala kang darling ngayon,” said Ai-Ai. “At tsaka hindi ka pa asawa gurl, girlfriend ka palang,”

“Kapag asawa ka na, puwede; pero kapag girlfriend huwag mo muna awayin kasi alam no naman ang mga mommy ‘di ba, isa ‘yan sa mga way na maging harmonious ang inyong relationship,” she added.

Darryl then asked Chloe if she prefered to be addressed as Carlos’ treasurer instead of a girlfriend.

“Sali nyo naman ako sa away nyo. Matapang din naman ako eh. Ano kayang kinaoffend ni Goldie sa sinabi ni Mama Ai na “Girlfriend ka pa lang” Ano ba gusto niya? TREASURER,” Darryl asked.

The feud between Sophia and Chloe started when the latter posted her reaction to the separation between Ai-Ai and Gerald Sibayan.

Choe’s post privacy was set to friends only, but it quickly spread like a wildfire when a Facebook page acquired a screenshot of the post.

“Back to you mamang, hindi para pagtawanan ang sitwasyon mo pero ang ginagawa mo sa iba ay babalik din sa’yo ng 10x ‍—it’s just the universe’s law,” said Chloe.

The post eventually reached Sophia, who challenged Chloe to a meet-up.

“Kita tayo sa Manila? Matapang ka eh,” Sophia told Chloe.

Netizens noticed the latest post of Ai-Ai delas Alas’ daughter, Sophia, amid her feud with Carlos Yulo’s girlfriend, Chloe San Jose.

In her Facebook post, Sophia shared content from a Facebook page about the things that should be kept private.

“Blondie can’t relate,” said Sophia.
