“I hate that! I get that all the time and I always ask myself how some people can be so comfortable at being tactless and say such things, but I learned also that through the years and after many “scratching my head” moments at such comments that believe it or not some mean it in a good way.” Martin said.

“Like , “you look happy!” “You look healthy!” “You look successful” and not so much, “oh my god you look like a walking talking condominium!” Tactless ? Or being too comfortable?? What ever it is it hurts yes? Ayyyy,” he added.

Television host Tim Yap also reacted to the post by Janno, saying that people should stop being tactless and giving comments about weight.

However, some netizens asked Janno to be kinder in giving a response next time.

“You can always let ppl know they did or said something wrong. That’s the more Christian thing to do,” a netizen told Janno.

Rendon Labador, sa mga bumabatikos sa presyo ng ‘motivational rice’ sa resto niya: “Bakit kayo puro reklamo?”

Businessman and motivational speaker Rendon Labador addressed the critics of the price of extra rice in his newly-opened restaurant.

In his video, Labador thanked the netizens for making his ‘motivational rice’ number one in the Philippines.

“Saan niyo ba ikinukumpara ‘yung mahal para sa inyo? Kasi depende yan sa tao eh, sa ibang tao mura, sa ibang tao sobrang mahal, meron namang iba na sakto lang.” said Labador.

“Nasaan ba kayo doon? Baka oras na para isipin ninyo na ‘nasan ba ako sa buhay ko [at] bakit ‘yung 100 pesos hindi ko ma-afford’ sinong kawawa sa huli, edi sarili niyo,” he added.

He also denied discriminating against people by offering expensive extra rice.

Labador then revealed that his rice was 100% local to support the Filipino farmers.

“Hindi naman po kanin ang ibinebenta ko dito, I’m selling you your future, na baka mapaisip ka, na baka mangarap ka, na baka subukan mo ulit. Mahirap kasi sa mga Pilipino, naja-judge tayo agad, bakit ‘yung Thai rice, Japenese rice, ang mamahal ng bili natin, bakit pa tayo kailangan bumili sa ibang bansa, bakit kailangan pa nating mag-import, meron naman tayong Filipino rice, suportahan natin ‘yung mga farmers natin,” he said.

“Again, gusto ko lang kayong i-motivate, wake up call ito para ma-realize niyo ‘yung mga bagay na dapat niyong ayusin sa mga sarili ninyo para later on, ma-enjoy niyo ‘yung buhay na deserve ninyo.” he added.

It can be recalled that Labador received criticism for several weeks already because of his statement.

His bad publicity affected his business and failed to sell tickets for the first grand opening of his restaurant.

Netizen, hindi maitago ang lungkot sa isang customer na pinipilit ng grade 12 na anak na bumili ng iPhone: “

A netizen working as a smartphone seller shared a story of a father who has been forced by his child to buy an expensive phone.

In his post, David King Del Mundo shared the story of one of their customers who visibly hesitated to grant the request of his child who’s just a grade 12 student.

According to Del Mundo, the said customer who’s working as a family driver asked them if he can buy iPhone via installment because he couldn’t afford to pay it in cash.

The netizen said that they already assumed that the family driver would have difficulty paying even if they allow him to get the phone via installment.

“May pinakita na siya sa amin na computation at kita sa mukha ni Sir na hindi niya kaya ang ganon kalaking halaga.Ang anak ni Sir ay grade 12 student pa lang.Naaawa ako habang tinititigan ko si Sir kasi bakas nakikita ko na iniisip na niya kaagad kung paano niya imamanage yung sinasahod niya at na kanyang asawa.” he said.

They offered a cheaper phone model to him, but the customer said that he was afraid that his child might reject a cheaper phone.

“Inalok namin siya ng mas mababang halaga ng unit pero hindi rin kaagad makapag decide si Sir kasi nag aalala siya na baka hindi magistuhan ng anak niya dahil iphone talaga ang gusto.At the back of my mind “grabe naman ang batang yon,hindi man lang niya inisip kung paanong kumakayod ang tatay niya para ibigay yung needs nila,” he stated.

After a long negotiation, the customer finally convinced his child to get a cheaper phone instead of an iPhone that costs P56,990 for the cheapest model to P109,990 for its most expensive.

“Sabi ko nga kay Sir “sabihin mo sir sa anak mo tsaka na siya mag iphone kapag nagtatrabaho na siya(may kasamang inis na ako niyan)” Del Mundo said.

“Naiinis ako sa mga anak na hindi marunong mag appreciate sa magulang nila na ginagawa ang lahat ng kaya nila para magprovide.
Bakit ba gugustuhin ng isang grade 12 student na magkaron ng mamahaling iphone?Para iyabang sa kaklase?!Habang nagkakanda kuba ang magulang nila sa pagtatrabaho.” he added.

Dahilan ni Willie Revillame kaya ito nag-resign sa AllTV, dahil umano sa hindi pagbibigay sagot sa kanya ni Manny Villar

Willie Revillame’s rumored resignation from AllTV became one of the most talked about topics this week.

In a report from Bilyonaryo.com, Revillame has reportedly asked by AllTV’s owner Manny Villar about the fate of his show Wowowin originally being aired to GMA-7 before his departure to the Kapuso network.

Revillame allegedly asked Villar for an ‘ultimatum’ to ensure the continuation of his game show after reports circulated that Wowowin would be put off-air amid its struggling ratings.

The businessman and television host also reportedly received an offer from two major networks, but it’s not yet sure if it included GMA-7.

Revillame also reportedly lost his patience while waiting for the plan of AllTV to improve its audience reach.

It can be recalled that veteran columnist Cristy Fermin already reported that Revillame wrote to AllTV to express his intent to leave the network.

Before transferring to AllTV, Revillame was flourishing in GMA-7 but still accepted the offer from Villar who’s also his close friend.

The host also received criticisms on social media after addressing the criticisms that Wowowin received because of its low ratings.

Currently, AllTV stopped airing Wowowin, Toni Gonzaga’s talk show, and the program of Mariel Rodriguez, Ruffa Gutierrez, and Ciara Sotto.

He even reminded some people he helped in the past who criticized him because of an edited video making him look like he was laughing at the fate of his former network ABS-CBN.

As of writing, Revillame has yet to release a statement on his rumored resignation.

Lolit Solis, sinabi na nagiging ‘stalker’ na si Pokwang ng kanyang dating partner: “Lahat ng nangyayari sa ex alam”

Veteran columnist and talent manager Lolit Solis urged Kapuso comedienne Pokwang to stop talking about her former partner Lee O’Brian.

It can be remembered that Pokwang posted about the activities of her former husband at a Mexican restaurant in Bonifacio Global City where the American actor was reportedly seen having a sweet moment with a waitress.

“Susme e ano naman kung may naka kandong na waitress sa kanya dyan sa isang mexican bar sa bgc? hayaan nyo sya masaya sya dahil sa wakas natagpuan na nya pangarap nyang babae at deserve nya yan yeheeeyy congratulations po,” she tweeted.

Solis reacted to the tweet made by Pokwang, saying that the comedienne was already becoming a ‘stalker’ to Lee.

According to Solis, there’s a possibility that Pokwang still wanted to be with Lee.

“Talagang lahat ng nangyayari sa Ex ni Pokwang alam na alam nito, Salve. Naisip ko tuloy baka naman may something pa si Pokwang sa Ex niya at ayaw pa niyang dedma na lang. Kasi nga pag gusto mo move on, totally ayaw mo ng anything to do sa nakaraan mo. ” the veteran columnist wrote.

“Pero sa case ni Pokwang pati bagong GF ng Ex alam niya. Para bang ang lumalabas ang stalker sa kanilang dalawa si Pokwang dahil lahat ng bagay nalalaman niya,” she added.

Solis believed that it was better for Pokwang to stop putting her time into her former partner.

“Mas maganda para kay Pokwang na umiwas na pag ang issue tungkol sa dating karelasyon, dapat lang total blackout siya para maipakitang keber na sa kanya kahit ano pa gawin nito. Habang pumapayag siya pag usapan ang mga bagay tungkol sa Ex para bang interesado siya dito. Kung talagang wala na, dapat wala talaga.” she said.

 

As of writing, Lee still refused to talk about his failed relationship with Pokwang.

“Rendon Labador are you out of your mind? Dapat ginawa mo ng 200 pesos nahiya ka pa.” he added.

Pahayag ni Vicki Belo noon kay Boy Abunda, binalikan ng netizens: ‘If you want to look like Boy Abunda, go to Dr. Calayan’

Celebrity doctor Dra. Vicki Belo captured the attention of the netizens after an old interview of her talking about her rivals in the cosmetic industry has been reuploaded on social media.

On March 24, Santa Marites reuploaded the interview of Belo in the now-defunct GMA talk show Showbiz Central where she’s been asked by its host about her rivals, including Dr. Manny Calayan of Calayan Surgicenter.

The said interview became controversial after she mentioned ‘King of Talk’ Boy Abunda’s appearance.

“All I’d like to say is, if you want to look like Boy Abunda , go to Calayan, But if you want to look like Dingdong Dantes and Piolo Pascual, come to Belo.” Dra. Belo said.

The remarks from Belo received criticisms from netizens and even Abunda admitted that he was affected by the statement from the doctor.

“Nasindak po ako, na-surprise po ako, di po ako makapaniwala…kaibigan ko pong matalik si Dra. Vicky Belo for years. Vicky if you’re watching alam mo na kahit kailan hindi ako namuhunan sa gandang panlabas dahil alam ko wala ako masyado nun. Alam mo na namuhunan ako ng lakas ng loob, sipag at tiyaga, dasal, at Vicky wala akong ilusyong gumanda. At wala ring ninumang may karapatan na manlait sa aking pagkatao.” Abunda said.

“Vicky if you’re watching, you know i did not do anything bad to you to deserve this insult. Wala akong ginawa sa ‘yo. And ma if you’re watching, wala po akong ginawa. Narating ko po ang maliit na espasyo ko dito sa industriya na wala po akong tinapakan. At mga kaibigan, hindi po tayo kinakailangang kasing-ganda o kasing-gwapo ni Dingdong Dantes para maging masaya at para maging mabuting tao,” he added.

Belo apologized to Abunda and the King of Talk accepted it.

However, the King of Talk made a reminder to the celebrity doctor.

“I forgive you but we all learned a very important lesson here – to be prudent, be more cautious, and more careful when we talk about other people. And I really pray na sana, because of this experience, we all come out of this as better people,” he said.
