Ai-Ai delas Alas may mensahe kay Jiro Manio: “Naluluha luha ako ng napanood ko hehe”

Ai-Ai delas Alas couldn’t hide her emotions after she watched the interview of journalist Julius Babao with former child star Jiro Manio.

It can be recalled that Ai-Ai helped Jiro to rehabilitate himself in 2015, but the two parted ways because of the uncooperation of the latter.

In an interview, she considered Jiro, her son, but she couldn’t accept that Jiro was not helping himself and just wasting the opportunity she gave.

However, Jiro, in the latest interview, revealed that he was already working as a co-facilitator in the rehabilitation where he was once also a patient.

“Hindi na po ako babalik sa bisyo ko, ‘yun ang pinapangako ko,” he said.

Jiro also thanked Ai-Ai for the help he received from her.

“Laking pasalamat ko pa nga po. Birthday ko po noon binati niya po ako, niregaluhan pa po niya ako ng cake. Pinapunta pa niya ako sa restaurant niya, binigyan pa niya ako ng pera,” he said.

In a video, Ai-Ai reacted to the interview, saying she was glad Jiro finally changed.

“Nagulat ako nung pumunta ako sa charity noong birthday niya tahimik lang siya, so hindi ko ine-expect na ‘ay naloko natatandaan niya pala lahat ‘yon’ so kung parang natuwa naman ako kasi parang kahit pala papaano na-appreciate pala ni Jiro ‘yung mga nangyari sa kanya noon,” Ai-Ai said.

“Doon naman sa interview nakita ko naman na okay siya and I hope Jiro na ipagpatuloy mo ‘yan maging okay ka forever and sana bumalik doon sa dati na and I hope maging tuloy tuloy na ang pagaling mo,” she added.

Ai-Ai didn’t disclose if she’s still willing to meet Jiro again.

Kyline Alcantara confronts Mariel Pamintuan over the latter’s ‘sampalan’ blind item: “Bakit di nyo imention pangalan ko?’

Kyline Alcantara went viral on social media after she confronted her co-actress Mariel Pamintuan after the latter posted a blind item about a specific project she was in.

In a video she posted, Mariel talked about a certain ‘diva’ with whom she made a scene during one of her projects.

According to her, she was told by the director not to slap the said actress seriously, but she was surprised when her colleague didn’t do the same with her.

“Tapos sabi sa akin ng producer, lumapit sa akin, ‘Mariel, wag mong lalakasan, ah. Kasi nung rehearsal nakita kita, e, parang malakas yung amba mo. Parang malakas, e. Huwag mong tototohanin. Yung mukhang totoo lang, pero huwag malakas.” said Kyline.

“Yung bida talaga, G na G sa akin. Yung tenga ko, nayanig! Yung kaluluwa ko naiwan don sa set! Nagpalit na ng set up. ‘Cut!’ Nandun pa rin yung body and soul ko. Naiwan dun. Naiwan siya, na-shookt. Ganon,” she added.

She noticed the treatment between a newbie actress and the leading cast differed.

The video went viral, and it gained the attention of Kyline.

“P.S nireshoot yung sampalan scene medyo nakaganti naman ako kahit papaano,” said Mariel.

“Bakit di nyo po minention pangalan ko, madam mariel?” Kyline responded.

After the confrontation, the scene between Mariel and Kyline was posted on social media.

As of writing, Mariel has yet to confirm if she was referring to Kyline in her post.

Former President Duterte’s sister Jocelyn Villarica passes away

Former President Rodrigo Duterte’s sister, Jocelyn Duterte-Villarica, passed away on September 29, 2023.

In a Facebook post shared by Sen. Christopher ‘Bong’ Go, the former chief executive was seen mourning his sister, who actively supported her brother on social media during his administration.

“Personal na nagtungo si Senator Bong Go kasama si Tatay Digong sa bahay ng kanyang yumaong kapatid sa Cavite. Nakasama ni Ma’am Jocelyn ang kanyang anak na si Bambino, si Vince, nurse at iba pang mga kasama nila sa bahay sa mga huling sandali nito,” Go said.

It can be recalled that Mrs. Duterte-Villarica became one of the active supporters of the former President on social media.

One of her notable posts was when she defended her brother from Regine Velasquez when the singer criticized the former President for his remarks against celebrities.

“Lahat ng mga “laos” na artista ginagamit si PRRD para sumikat! Huwag ng makialam sa politika, uso naman sa inyo paglaos na ang career, mag-ambisyon na sa politika!” said Villarica.

“Halos lahat ng artista pumasok sa politika, wala talagang alam at dinadaan lang sa kanilang celebrity status, at popularidad. Gusto na ng taong-bayan magbago, maawa kayo sa bayan. Kung wala naman talaga kayong magawa na mabuti dahil hindi naman kayo qualified, hindi ko nilalalahat!”  she added.

Villarica also didn’t involve herself in the job of her brother.

Mayabang kasi? Lala Sotto sinabing walang effort si Vice Ganda at It’s Showtime sa pakikipag-usap sa MTRCB

The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) Chair, Lala Sotto, disclosed that It’s Showtime and its leading host, Vice Ganda, didn’t try to coordinate with their agency.

During the press conference about the 12-day suspension imposed by MTRCB against It’s Showtime, Sotto said that the people behind It’s Showtime, or the comedian, didn’t even reach out.

According to Sotto, their decision might been changed if the noontime show talked with them.

“No effort, no dialogues, no form of coordination or cooperation with us,” said Sotto.

MTRCB also insisted that their 12-day suspension against It’s Showtime is not that harsh as her critics claimed.

“I may add do’n sa harshness may mga gustong i-cancel na ‘yung noontime show, merong six months at may one-year, so which is harsh? We don’t want to entertain those suggestions, the board decided on its own, we don’t want to be persuade, so I don’t know what is harsh.” Atty. Paulino Cases of MTRCB said.

It can be recalled that netizens noticed Vice took several swipes against MTRCB in the past weeks.

“May mga ganyan. Kung maka-impose akala mo naman di nila ginagawa, di ba? Yung pag iba, mali. Pero kayo, hindi niyo ginagawa?!” Vice said.

Sotto then expressed her admiration to Coco Martin, who went personally to MTRCB to talk about the issue they faced after airing one of the episodes of FPJ’s Batang Quiapo.

“Wala talaga kaming masasabi kay Coco, I’m such a fan,” she said.

The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) Chairperson, Lala Sotto, ignored the calls of some netizens who wanted her to resign.

In a statement, Sotto on September 28 denied the accusations that she favored the show of her father, Tito Sotto, E.A.T., by removing one of its competitors, It’s Showtime.

“I truly believe my being a Sotto or my father’s daughter should not be taken against me,” said Sotto. “Instead, it should be taken positively that I am someone who grew up in the industry, I am someone who loves the industry, and understands the industry.”

While she respected her critics’ opinions, she said she would refuse any calls for her resignation.

She believed that even her resignation would not make her critics happy.

“I’m not going to satisfy the whims of my detractors,” she said.

Sotto also added that she’s already used to being criticized.

Meanwhile, she clarified that there’s still a chance for It’s Showtime to file a Motion for Reconsideration via the Office of the Presidential Legal Counsel, which was being led by Juan Ponce Enrile, who’s a critic of Vice Ganda.

It’s Showtime, has 15 days to appeal their decision.

Joel Mondina, also known as ‘Pambansang Kolokoy,’ posed with his rumored girlfriend Dawn Sherrine, who announced she was pregnant.

On her Instagram post on September 28, Dawn posted a photo with a caption confirming that she was already having a baby anytime this month.

“I can’t believe how fast this pregnancy has gone. #9months #ilangkembotnalang #helloeyebags,” she wrote.

The photo was reposted several times on social media by some fans of Joel.

Last July, Joel was spotted proposing to a mystery woman who was believed to be Sherrine.

It was after the influencer clarified that he had no any relationship with former Eat Bulaga host Gladys Guevarra who’s also based in Las Vegas like him.

As of writing, Joel’s ex-partner, Miss Grace, has yet to react to the photo.

It can be recalled that Joel became popular on social media together with Grace. Still, they broke the hearts of many fans after they announced their separation after 20 years of being together.

“Yes, I’m with someone else now, and we’re happy. Masaya kami. At hindi naman po ako nagsisisi na nangyaring ‘yun,” said Joel.

Bong Revilla asks the Office of the President to consider It’s Showtime’s appeal: “I think lesson have been learned”

Senator Bong Revilla asked the Office of the President (OP) to consider the affected workers of It’s Showtime that would be affected by the 12-day suspension imposed by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB).

MTRCB, an agency under the Office of the President, denied the Motion for Reconsideration filed by It’s Showtime on September 28.

According to Revilla, OP should also think of the affected workers who would receive no pay because the show was not aired on television.

“Without getting into the merits of the case, sana na-consider ng MTRCB ang kapakanan nung mga maliliit na staff at crew nung show na wala namang kinalaman at kasalanan dun sa nangyari,” said Revilla.

“Sila yung mga ‘no work-no pay’ na kung matutuloy ang suspension ay dalawang linggong walang kikitain at kakainin,”  he added.

It’s Showtime was currently being aired online, which MTRCB had no jurisdiction over.

“Kung nagkaroon man ng pagkakamali, ang kasalanan ni Juan ay hindi kasalanan ni Pedro. So I hope we don’t punish those working hard day in-day out just to make out a living,” the actor-lawmaker said.

As of writing, OP has yet to give any response to the pleas made by Revilla.

 

Rendon Labador calls the attention of MTRCB to investigate Vice Ganda’s pulling of Jhong Hilario’s scarf

Motivational Speaker Rendon Labador called the attention of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) after Vice Ganda pulled the scarf around his co-host Jhong Hilario’s neck.

On September 28, Rendon brought up an episode of It’s Showtime in 2022, where Vice could be seen trying to pull Jhong’s scarf, which made the television host choke.

According to Rendon, MTRCB should review the episode and impose another suspension against the show.

“Hindi na pataasan ng RATINGS ang uso sa mga noontime shows ngayon, kundi paramihan na ng VIOLATIONS. Number 1 parin yata ang #it’Showtime pagdating sa violations. Lahat ng award na kukuha ni Vice,” said Rendon.

“MTRCB, paki imbestigahan nga ito at paki dagdag sa mga violations kung maari. Dapat sila ang tanggalin nionyo sa internet at hindi ako,” he added.

As of writing, MTRCB has not responded to Rendon’s complaint.

It’s Showtime was suspended for 12 days on television and is currently airing via online platforms.

It can be recalled that It’s Showtime’s competitor, E.A.T, faced criticism after Joey de Leon included ‘lubid’ as a thing that could hang around a person’s neck.

E.A.T. already apologized to MTRCB, saying they regret the joke made by one of their hosts.

Rendon Labador apologizes to Michael V, Vice Ganda and Ion Perez: “Sana makasama ko kayo”

Motivational Speaker Rendon Labador made a rare public apology to television hosts Michael V, Vice Ganda, and Ion Perez after he threw several criticisms against them.

In an interview with talent manager Ogie Diaz, Labador said that he would apologize if the three popular hosts were unhappy with the negative messages he posted about them.

It can be remembered that Labador called Michael ‘unpopular,’ while he labeled Vice and Ion as ‘animals‘ in one of his posts.

According to Rendon, the removal of his social media accounts made him realize many things.

He was still hoping that Michael, Vice, and Ion would help him to promote his advocacy for a better Philippines.

“Im trying to be perfect. Ngayon naman nakikinig na ako. Marami akong opportunities. Marami naman akong nasaktan din naman talaga. Yun din naman yung regret ko talaga. I’m trying to be better,” said Rendon.

“So, kung nasaktan ko man kayo– kay Vice, Ion, lahat ng artista, Michael V.– I’m apologizing. Wala akong masamang intensyon sa inyo, Hindi ko kayo dini-discredit. I’m thankful sa mga nagawa ninyo. Ang gusto ko lang matulungan, magising. Sana makasama ko kayo sa pagbago ng Pilipinas,”  he added.

As of writing, Michael, Vice, or Ion have yet to give any response to the apology made by Rendon for them.

 

Rendon Labador claims that he refuses to become part of Batang Quiapo: ‘Hindi na namin pinansin’

Rendon Labador claimed that the people behind FPJ’s Batang Quiapo offered him a role.

In an interview with Ogie Diaz, Rendon said he was supposed to take the role Vandolph Quizon is currently playing.

If Rendon accepted the role, he would become one of the show’s antagonists as part of the ‘Batang Divisoria,’ the nemesis of Coco’s group.

However, Rendon said that the negotiation between him and Batang Quiapo team failed.

“January palang nag-offer na sila, so hindi nagkasundo,” said Rendon.

He also denied that his criticism against Coco was related to the failed negotiation between him and the Batang Quiapo team.

“Nauna ‘yung offer, tapos pumutok ‘yung issue, March na, so may nagreklamong isang vendor so nag-step up ako para boses ng bayan, negosyante din ako eh. Ayokong maabala ‘yung mga tao na ang liit na nga ng kinikita tapos maabala ka pa,” he stated.

It can be recalled that Coco admitted that they made an offer to Rendon.

Rendon then disclosed why the negotiation between him and Batang Quiapo failed.

“Yes, January palang nakikipag negotiate na sila saakin para mabigyan ako ng role sa BATANG QUIAPO. Totoo yan! Nag rerequest ako ng meeting sakanila para maayos ang collaboration.” Rendon said.

“Hindi sila corporate kausap kaya hindi namin masyado binigyan ng pansin.

“Nag follow up sila ng second time at gusto daw nila ako i include, tinawagan namin sila at nakausap. Wala silang maayos na direction sa role na offer pati sa story hindi organized, kaya hindi na ulit namin pinansin.”
