Veteran actor Ricardo Cepeda was facing serious charges that might put him behind bars for life.

According to the reports from the authorities, Cepeda was caught in a restaurant in Caloocan City.

He was facing charges for syndicated estafa, a non-bailable charge that might put him locked up for life.

Syndicated estafa is an unlawful act consisting of five or more persons who intend to commit an illegal act, scheme, or fraud.

It’s unknown how much money was involved in the said case. However, syndicated estafa cases commonly involve significant amounts of money worth millions of pesos.

Cepeda is the former husband of veteran actress Snooky Cerna, and he also became part of Coco Martin’s longest show ‘Ang Probinsyano.’

In a past interview, Cerna described Cepeda as a good husband.

“I have to admit, yun ang main problem namin. Ricardo was a very good husband, wala akong masabi sa kanya. It was just that mahirap talagang pakisamahan yung isang taong… especially at that point, wala kaming trabaho, nawalan kami ng pera,” said Cerna.

“Tapos kailangan pa niyang sakyan yung mood swings ko, either mataas na mataas, haping-happy ako or down na down ako na ayaw kong bumangon sa kama, iiyak lang ako,” she added.

He’s currently under the custody of the QCPD.

Controversial Drag performer Pura Luka Vega made his temporary possible after a fundraising launched for her was considered successful.

On September 7, Pura was successfully paid P72,000 bail after her friends and supporters raised more than P550,000 to support her legal battle against two religious groups who filed charges following his ‘Ama Namin remix’ performance.

Netizen Rod Singh announced they raised 552,899.22 at 1:00 p.m. on October 6, 2023.

“Thank you for your donations!” Rod wrote.

Aside from asking for donations, supporters of Pura started to sell merchandise to contribute to the drag queen’s legal battle that might even reach the Supreme Court.

It can be recalled that Pura was facing charges from the Philippines for Jesus Movement (PJM) and Hijos del Nazarenos for allegedly disrespecting the Catholic Faith after she dressed as Jesus Christ while performing a remixed version of a mass song.

However, Pura denied the accusations, saying that she was also a believer of Jesus Christ and he only wanted to express her faith via performances.

She also refused to apologize for his performance.

“If I apologize, what do I apologize for? Cause I do apologize if they get offended, but the ownership of Jesus is something that I think anyone can own,” said Pura. “Anyone can have a strong belief of Jesus. Anyone can also express their faith, no matter how different it may be,”

Yexel Sebastian went viral on social media after being accused of duping several Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) to put money into his investment scheme.

In a Facebook post, several OFWs brought up the issue to Senator Raffy Tulfo, saying that Yexel and his wife Mikee Agustin, both popular influencers in the country, collected more than P200-M from their alleged victims.

According to the victims, they saw Yexel’s promotion on social media, offering his followers an opportunity to double their money within a year.

“Sure ang monthly income, kahit busy ka sa work o negosyo o nasa abroad,” the influencer wrote.

Some of their victims said that Yexel and Mikee allegedly offered them 5% monthly interest if they would invest in his cryptocurrency.

However, they said it’s already been two months since Yexel distributed their last payout.

Meanwhile, Yexel released a short statement, saying that the public didn’t know the real story and should stop believing the accusation against them easily.

“People wala pa kaming statement ha, paalala lang ayaw ko lang bumalik sa inyo mga sinasabi nyo hindi nyo pa alam ang TUNAY na kwento,” said Yexel.

As of writing, authorities have yet to confirm if someone already filed a formal complaint against Yexel and Mikee.

E.A.T hinted at the launch of their version of Kalyeserye, which became a popular segment of their former show Eat Bulaga in 2015.

In a Facebook post, they introduced their new character ‘Lola Belen’ portrayed by Wally Bayola, who also acted as ‘Lola Nidora’ during the original Kalyeserye.

There’s also a hint that Atasha Mulach would act as Lola Belen’s grandchild like the original story of Eat Bulaga’s popular show.

It can be recalled that Kalyeserye became phenomenally popular and skyrocketed the fame of Maine Mendoza and Alden Richards.

Wally’s career was also revived because of the said segment after the big issue he faced after his video with an EB Babe dancer circulated on the internet.

E.A.T. fans couldn’t hide their excitement and wished that TVJ Productions would become successful with the possible remake of Kalyeserye.

“Nakaka gud vibes c atasha walang kaarte arte kahit mukhang sosyal ang itsura at npka galang.n bata,marunong cia.kumonek s masa as legit dabarkads,galing pa sumayaw,” netizen Luckylee said.

They’re also asking if Maine would become part of the new segment.

However, there’s a possibility that Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc. would also try to protect the Kalyeserye branding as they’re the ones who currently own its trademark.

Critics also believed that Kalyeserye’s popularity could not be replicated again by E.A.T.

As of writing, TVJ Productions has yet to give an exact date for the launch of their new segment.

Celebrities and famous figures couldn’t stop themselves from reacting to the closure of Commonwealth Avenue to allegedly give way to the VIP convoy of Vice President Sara Duterte.

In a viral video circulating on social media, an uploader tried to ask a member of the Quezon City Police why they were closing the highway, blocking thousands of motorists.

“May dadaan po tayong VIP. Si VP,” the officer said.

Meanwhile, several popular figures like Jake Ejercito, Justin Dizon, Teddy Casino, and JC Punongbayan posted their reaction to the news.

“When you elect leaders who want to be served instead of servant leaders,” said Ejercito.

Punongbayan then posted an AI photo to describe the said incident in a creative way.

Meanwhile, the Office of the Vice President (OVP) denied that they ordered the closure of Commonwealth Avenue.

“I want to emphasize that neither I nor my office ever made any request for assistance from the QCPD to orchestrate such an action. The claims in the video are not only misleading but also outright false,” said Duterte.

“In light of this situation, I call upon the QCPD to investigate this incident and hold those responsible accountable for their actions. Furthermore, I urge the QCPD to rectify this falsehood and publicly state the real reason for the road ‘closure, including naming the supposed VIP who requested such action,” she added.

QCPD already apologized for the said incident and already suspended the officer who was seen on the video.

“We understand the importance of upholding the dignity and reputation of our public officials. Our commitment remains unwavering in ensuring the safety and security of all individuals under our protection, regardless of their status. We will continue to strive for transparency and professionalism in our operations,” said QCPD Director Brig. Gen. Redrico Maranan.

“Gusto’y may pumatong,” said Ador.

While most of the hosts laughed at the joke of Ador, Vic made a live appeal to the audience not to take the contestant’s statement seriously.

“Yung nabanggit ni kuya kanina, wag n’yo namang bigyan ng malisya at ito’y kwento-kwentuhan lang,” said Vic.

“Biru-biruan lang ‘yan. Baka bigyan n’yo na naman ng ibang ibig sabihin, bigyan ng malisya, wala po ‘yon,” he added.

It’s Showtime host Vice Ganda took a swipe against Atty. Ferdinand Topacio after the comedian won an award from the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP).

During one of the episodes of the Kapamilya show, Vice, who presented the award to his fans, said that he was thankful for the recognition he received amid the 12-day suspension imposed by the Movie and Television Classification and Review Board (MTRCB) against them.

Vice said that many people criticized his movies, but it doesn’t hide the fact that it still gave joy to Filipino moviegoers.

“Maraming nagsasabi na ang papangit ng pelikula ko, ang babasura ng pelikula ko. Pero ang ipinagmamalaki ko, sa mga panahong bagsak na bagsak ang mga Pilipino, at parang nawawalan na sila ng pag-asa, at sa mga panahong malungkot na malungkot sila, masayang-masaya ako na kaya maraming nanood ng pelikula, dahil ‘yong mga pelikula ko ang ginagawang pangtakas ng napakaraming Pilipino,” said Vice.

It can be recalled that Atty. Ferdinand Topacio, who’s also a film producer criticized Vice’s movies, saying that it didn’t help the industry to improve.

“Gumastos kami ng 33 million para sa ‘Mamasapano’ ang hirap bawiin because of the climate of the local film industry. Dominated kasi ‘yung local industry ng foreign films. Yon ang number one,” said Topacio who owns Borracho films.

“Ano ba ang naitulong ng mga pelikulang iyon sa pagtaas ng antas ng pelikulang Pilipino? Wala naman e!” he added.

Topacio’s movie only earned P5-M tickets during the last Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) while Vice’s entry earned P100-M pesos.
