Former PDEA agent Jonathan Morales strongly believed that the government could not control the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) if the said religious group ever faced the same situation as the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC)

Morales explained in a statement that INC, which has 5 to 6 million members worldwide, would be more difficult to pacify.

He added that aside from numbers, INC was also more influential among politicians.

“Kaya ‘yong ginagawa nila sa KOJC, hindi nila magagawa ‘yan sa Iglesia ni Cristo,” he said.

“Kasi ultimo ano, ‘yong mga politiko kasi naka-sa sa tulong ng Iglesia ni Cristo,” he added.

It can be recalled that some members said that the situation of KOJC could bring a ‘chilling effect’ on other religious groups who might oppose the government.

KOJC’s leader, Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, was known to criticize the current administration before the government decided to pursue him.

Netizens praised Jhong Hilario after they were informed that the Makati City councilor’s daughter, Sarina, was studying at a barangay daycare center.

In a Facebook post, Sarina showed how she interacted with children from different social classes despite her status.

Some netizens were impressed that Jhong could afford to enroll Sarina in an expensive private school, but he decided not to.

“I’m truly impressed by your humility and down to earth approach to parenting. While many celebrity parents might choose elite,private schools for the kids, you’ve taken a different path by enrolling your child in a regular day care,” one of Jhong’s fan said.

“This decision speaks volumes about your values and priorities as a parent, it’s also shows you value a normal , grounded upbringing for your child, and it’s truly inspiring and refreshing to see someone in your position making such a relatable choice,” she added.

Sarina’s mother, Maia Leviste Azores was happy to hear all the praises they received from the netizens.

“Thank you so much for the kind words. I really don’t think there is a perfect formula in raising any kid but the things you have mentioned are exactly the things we want to achieve for Sarina,” she said.

Sarina’s story went viral amid criticism received by artist Dianne Medina, who made a post about the P170,000 tuition for her child who was studying Nursery 2.

Social media personality Valentine Rosales gave friendly advice to his co-content creator, Chloe San Jose.

It can be recalled that Chloe went viral on social media after she responded to the allegations made by the Yulo family against her.

In his post, Valentine said that Chloe should learn to respect elders, especially her boyfriend’s parents, Carlos Yulo.

“Beh matuto ka gumalang sa mas nakaktanda sayo, di mo na dapat pinapatulan ‘yung ganyan. Kasi pag pinatulan mo para mas mababa ka pa kesa sa kanya. Dapat very Demure, Very Mindful, Very Sophisticated ka,” said Valentine.

“Di ka ba nasabihan ng parents mo? I am happy with you being together with Caloy pero learn to respect your elders,” he added.

According to Valentine, Chloe’s treatment of Carlos’ parents might mirror her real attitude toward her own relatives.

“Tandaan mo, pag hahanap ka ng partner titingnan mo kung paano niya ituring ang mga magulang niya kasi pag nagpakasal kayo at matagal na magsama ganun ka din ituturing ng partner mo,” he stated.

He then urged Chloe to just block Carlos’ relatives if she wanted to have peace of mind without being forced to respond to them.

An old conversation between two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo and his mother, Angelica Yulo, went viral on social media.

In the comment section of the post made by Mark Andrew Yulo in 2016, Carlos and Angelica had a sweet moment while cheering on each other.

Carlos, at that time, told his mother that he was still dependent on them and he couldn’t do anything without his parents.

“Nanghihingi pa nga ko sayo ng pera eh,” said Carlos.

“Di ko pa kaya ng walang tulong mo ma,” he added.

As a response, Mrs. Yulo tried to brighten up her son and urged her to believe in his capabilities.

“Kaya mo yan ikaw pa ba mana ka sa amin ng papa mo e,” said Mrs. Yulo.

“Anak kaya kita sa amin ka galing ng papa mo kaya alam kong kaya mo yan,” she added.
The said conversation happened many years before they started to feud.

It can be recalled that Carlos accused his mother of pocketing the cash incentives he received from different international competitions.

However, Yulo’s camp denied the allegations, saying that they used the money for Carlos’ own benefit.

Veteran actor Albert Martinez admitted that he is not pleased with women who flaunt their bodies on social media.

“What I don’t really like about social media is that I see more women posing in two-piece bikinis even when it’s not summer, even when they’re not at the beach.” “I have daughters, and I feel uncomfortable with it,” said Albert.

He added that he has two daughters and was uncomfortable with that idea.

It can be recalled that social media platforms allow their users to post photos while wearing bikinis as long as it isn’t excessively showy.

There were also studies that bikini photos gain more likes.

According to him, parents should teach their children how to use social media responsibly.

“Parents should teach their children that social media is not real life. Maybe social media can boost your career if you’re aiming to achieve a goal. Promote yourself based on what you want to be in your career,” she said.

The actor explained that people should only post things that highlight their work. For example, an architect could use his social media to promote his previous projects and gain new clients.

Albert also believes social media will only consume netizens if they only pursue attention.

Comedy queen Ai-Ai delas Alas supported Angelica Yulo, the mother of two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo.

In her Facebook post, Ai-Ai expressed her disappointment that it was already too late when she was informed about Mrs. Yulo’s last live selling session, where she offered clothes and beauty products to her followers.

Ai-Ai vowed to buy Mrs. Yulo’s products for her next live sale.

“Nakita ko sila may nag send sakin sa messenger. Kailan kaya ulit live selling nila? Bibili ako, support ako sa live selling nila,” said Ai-Ai.

The comedian then declared that she was part of ‘Team Nanay,’ a faction that supported the Yulo family amid the feud between Carlos and his mother.

It can be recalled that Ai-Ai already expressed her disappointment to Carlos’ girlfriend, Chloe San Jose.

Chloe was blamed for the fallout between Carlos and his family.

“Ate girl, dapat pag ‘di ka naman kasama sa interview, dito ka nalang sa side by side ng darling mo. Kasi siyempre Olympian ‘yan, siya yung iniinterview. Dapat ‘di ka na sumasali ng kahit kaunti ‘dun sa eksena,” said Ai-Ai.

As of writing, Mrs. Yulo has yet to give a response to Ai-Ai.

Singer Gigi de Lana admitted that she was severely affected by the untimely passing of her mother, Imelda de Lana, last May after six years of battling breast cancer.

In an interview with Toni Gonzaga, Gigi said she was considering quitting her career as a singer as she couldn’t find any purpose in performing anymore since her mother’s passing.

“Sa ngayon, hindi ko alam. Para akong naliligaw pa rin until now, lalo na noong nawala ang mom ko. Tsaka noong nawala si Mama, yung mundo ko, sobrang bigat,” said Gigi.

“Para akong inalisan ng kaluluwa sa katawan ko, kasi siya lahat every time na kumakanta ako. Siya yung motivation ko, para sa kanya lagi, until now,” she added.

According to Gigi, she was blaming herself for the deterioration of her mother.

Gigi strongly believed that her mother might still be alive if they treated her condition earlier.

“Sinisisi ko kasi ang sarili ko kung bakit siya lumala nang ganyan. Kasi wala akong pera, una, hindi ko siya mapagamot. Mag-isa lang ako, at siya lang din yung lakas ko, siya lang,” she said.

Currently, Gigi was trying to find a reason to accept her mother’s passing by thinking that her mom could now rest without the need to battle cancer.

Eagle-eyed netizens noticed the absence of Karylle during the ‘Kalokalike’ segment of It’s Showtime, where a look-a-like of Marian Rivera became one of the participants.

During the said episode, Pattie, who proclaimed herself as the ‘Marian Rivera’ of Cavite, where the Kapuso actress grew up, was interviewed by several It’s Showtime hosts.

However, the netizens quickly noticed Karylle’s absence.

Many netizens believed Karylle’s absence may be related to her past issues with Marian Rivera.

It can be recalled that in 2008, Karylle disclosed that she ended her relationship with Dingdong amid the rumors that the actor was already close to his co-star in Marimar, Marian.

“Well, for me there were many reasons that can’t be summed up in just one statement. It’s hard to trivialize things na, you know, this is the only reason and it’s up to the people to figure it out, na bahala na kayong intindihin. Maraming rason kasi, eh. You know, even if we keep on explaining or making kuwento, it’s only the two of us who know everything. People won’t get the whole story,” she said.

When she was asked if Dingdong cheated on her, she only shared a short statement.

“I trusted him,” she stated.

Karylle was last seen crossing paths with Dingdong and Marian in 2018.

Internet celebrity Chloe San Jose expressed her joy after she received gifts from her boyfriend, Carlos Yulo.

In her social media post, Chloe showed the items they bought after shopping with the two-time Olympic gold medalist, who received more than P100-M in rewards.

“Di aaray for today’s shopping spree. Siguro meron portion lang,” said Chloe.

It can be recalled that Carlos was known for being generous to Chloe, and even the internet celebrity described her boyfriend’s love language as ‘gift-giving.’

Many netizens believed that Chloe’s caption was a swipe against Carlos’ mother, Angelica Yulo who admitted in the past that she spent some of the money from the bank account of her son.

“Wala kaming ninakaw, wala kaming ginalaw na pera niya. Siguro meron, portion na hindi naman yung sasabihin na aaray yung bulsa niya,” said Mrs. Yulo.

Until today, Carlos didn’t express any intention to reconcile with his family, especially when Chloe started to publish some receipts to show how the Yulo family criticized her.
