Sophia Trazona received heartwarming support from her father, Michael Navarro after she decided to come out as a ‘drag queen’

In a Facebook post, Michael posted a photo of Sophia, greeting her newly outed child and praising her beauty.

“Dalaga na ang anak ko pwede ng ilaban sa Miss Gay International hahahahaha.. sinung pupusta?” said Michael.

Sophia who’s Andrei Trazona in real life, couldn’t hide her happiness after reading the post of her father.

“Papa ko super supportive,” she said.

Michael’s reaction was far from Sophia’s mother, Izzy Trazona’s response to the decision of the drag queen to out herself as a transgender.

It can be recalled that Izzy criticized her child publicly and said that she wanted to save the soul of Sophia.

“Andrei anak, I love you so much to not support you on things that will harm you. Putting my hope on what Jesus did on the cross for me, paid the consequence of my sin. Instead of me paying it. Sin will bring me to eternal death, hell. But He saved me. By believing and surrendering my life to that truth,” said Izzy.

Izzy received thousands of criticism from the LGBT community, while Sophia received support from the netizens even encouraged her to pursue her dreams.

Ang gusto ko lang maging light, masaya, ayoko ng maraming drama, ayoko ng maraming hindi… yung forgiveness kasi sa family, important din yun siguro para maging okay yung takbo ng relationship ng lahat.” said KC.

200 students in Bohol allegedly experienced ‘Sapi’ or mass hysteria

200 students in Bohol were allegedly affected by a mass hysteria during a mass held at the San Jose National High School Friday.

According to Talibon Bohol Mayor Janette Aurestila-Garcia, the said students were rushed to the Garcia Memorial Provincial Hospital (GMPH) after some of them showed signs of hysteria and fainted.

In a video posted by Atty. Lenard Querubin who witnessed the said situation, narrated the story on his social media followers.

“I personally witnessed this “Mass Hysteria” as they say, just this morning in San Jose National High School, Talibon, Bohol where a huge number of students exhibited unusual behaviors and fainted while attending the Holy Mass,” said Querubin.

Several factors could have contributed to the said incident, including stress and social pressure.

As of writing, experts have yet to give any explanation on the cause of the mass hysteria in Bohol.

Neri Naig apologizes for her P1000 meal plan post: “Di ko nabigyan ng buong detalye’

Content creator Neri Naig apologized to the netizens after she gained criticism over her P1000 meal plan, which she shared with her fans online.

In a Facebook post, Neri admitted that she really made a mistake when she posted the said meal plan without elaborating the information about why she shared it.

According to her, she was only following the requests of her followers who were asking her for a meal plan, but some netizens mistakenly thought that she was trying to downplay the rising prices of goods.

She said that her followers were aware that she was known for sharing meal plans to help them to budget.

“Kasalanan ko talaga yan kase di ko nabigyan ng buong detalye yung caption ko like sa ibang mga captions ko. Sobrang antok na kase ako nyan at past 2 am na yun,” sabi niya.

“May nabasa kase ako na namimiss na nila yung meal plan post ko. Kaya bago matulog, gumawa ako. Nagalit tuloy ibang tao, hehe! Pero all good! I accepted na mali ako dito. Pasensya na po, bawi ako sa inyo next time. Gagawin ko na to ng di madaling araw at di antok, haha!” she added.

She also thanked her fans who kept defending her from her critics.

“Sa lahat ng nagtatanggol sa akin at alam talaga ang mga old postings ko at kilala ako. Salamat po sa pagmamahal! Palagi po namin kayong kasama sa prayers namin ni Chito everynight. Nagpapasalamat kase kami palagi sa mga taong palaging andyan at nagmamahal sa amin. Isang mahigpit na yakaaaaaaaaaaap! Sana maging maganda ang araw nyo po,” she stated.

Atty. Ferdinand Topacio calls Vice Ganda movies ‘worthless’: ‘Walang naitulong sa pagtaas ng antas ng pelikulang Pilipino’

Lawyer and producer Atty. Ferdinand Topacio couldn’t hide his disappointment at how Filipino moviegoers patronized the movies led by comedian Vice Ganda.

In a press conference, Topacio the producer of the movie ‘Mamasapano’ said that they spent millions of pesos to create a film that would remind the public about the sacrifice made by the SAF44 during the Mamasapano clash.

The said movie was one of the entries during the last Metro Manila Film Festival, but it didn’t perform well at the box office.

“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.

“Number two, ‘yung mga movies na walang katuturan. Katulad ng mga movie ni Vice Ganda. ‘Yon ang namamayagpag e,” he added.

According to Topacio, most in-demand movies didn’t contribute to the improvement of the quality of Philippine cinema.

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

As of writing, Vice has yet to give any response to the rants made by Topacio.

Vice made several box-office hits including Praybeyt Benjamin, Sisterakas, The Super Parental Guardians, and Fantastica.

All movies earned more than P100-M pesos, compared to the film produced by Topacio, which only achieved P5-M ticket sales.

Chito Miranda saddened by criticism receive by his wife Neri Naig’s P1000 meal plan: “What a cruel world”

Chito Miranda couldn’t hide his disappointment towards the netizens who criticized the P1000 weekly meal plan made by his wife Neri Naig to help parents survive the rising prices of goods.

In a Facebook post, Chito said that Neri only wanted to help her followers and not deny that there was a problem with the increasing prices of goods.

According to him, most of the people who criticized Neri were not really her followers and do not know the whole story behind it.

“Grabe diba? Naisip lang naman ng asawa ko na ba ka sakaling makatulong ‘yung meal plan nya sa mga tao that might find it useful, na-bash pa sya ng mga taong hindi naman nakasubaybay kung bakit ginagawa nya yung meal plan,” said Chito.

“For those who got angry and threw stones without knowing the details of what she was doing, good job sa inyo… Your comment say more about your character than the person you are commenting on. Peace and good vibes to you too,” he added.

It can be recalled that Neri received criticism from netizens after she posted a photo showing the plan that parents may follow if they want only to spend P1000 per week.

However, several netizens said that Neri’s meal plan was almost impossible to follow for long term.

Carlo Aquino files charges against Trina Cadaza to get visitation rights

Actor and director Carlo Aquino reportedly filed charges against his former partner Trina Candaza.

According to a report released by the Philippine Star, Carlo was seen carrying his daughter Mithi during their visit to the Quezon City Regional Trial Court.

The charges were related to the visitation rights of Carlo to his daughter.

In the photo forwarded by Carlo to the press, Mithi was seen hugging her father.

It was alleged that Trina was preventing Carlo from visiting their daughter.

However, there was some opposing reports from the camp of Trina, saying that Carlo was always welcome to visit Mithi.

One of the evidence they allegedly presented was the invitation made by Trina’s family to Carlo to visit Mithi’s birthday.

As of writing, Carlo has yet to give any statement on the charges he filed.

In 2022, Carlo confirmed that he was already separated from Trina.

Trina then revealed that she was the one who decided to end the relationship, saying that she was not being treated right by the actor.

“Kapag binigay niya sa amin ‘yung treatment na dapat lang na ma-receive namin, na tama lang, mag-stay kami. Kung hindi, aalis na lang kami,” Trina said.

Di makatotohanan! Neri Naig-Miranda receives criticism after showing her P1000 per week budget challenge

Neri Naig-Miranda received criticism from netizens after she posted a weekly meal plan that would only cost her followers P1000 to make according to her.

The meal plan that was now deleted on her page showed that people could afford eggs, pork, bangus, corned beef, ground pork, tuna, chicken, fish, vegetables, and rice for just P1000 a week.

However, some netizens noticed that families should only eat ‘leftovers’ every dinner if they want to achieve the said meal plan.

Thousands of netizens and internet content creators said that Neri’s weekly meal plan was hard to achieve and not for the long term as the prices of goods were not stable.

“1k budget sa loob ng 1 linggo ni Neri Miranda [laughing emoji] prang hindi ito mkatotoohanan lalo na kung higit sa 3 kayo nkatira sa bahay. 143 pesos papatak per day. Teka teka [laughing emoji] may magic toh hahahah!!” netizen Anne said.

“Kanina ko pa iniisip paano mapapagkasya ang 1K sa isang linggo, 1K ÷ 7 days, tas ÷ 3 meals per day = ₱47.6 per meal for 1 family. If you’re a family of 5 pax, that’s ₱9.5 budget per meal per person. Kasya naman for 1 boiled egg. Pag prinito mo pa, baka wala ng budget para sa mantika,” netizen MJ Quiambao Reyes said.

Meanwhile, some netizens explained that Neri’s meal plan was possible if they were planting their own vegetables like what the content creator was doing.

However, they pointed out that most Filipinos are not planting their own crops anymore.

Ogie Diaz expresses dismay to former dancer Izzy Trazona: ‘Mas kasalanan sa Diyos ang kaipokritahan mo’

Talent manager and veteran showbiz reporter Ogie Diaz couldn’t hide his disappointment towards former sexbomb dancer Izzy Aragon- Trazona.

In his Facebook post, Ogie reacted to the post made by Izzy against her daughter Andrei who just recently outed as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Ogie said that Izzy was accepting of the identity of her son, so he was surprised with the posts made by the former dancer.

He believed that Izzy was more sinful than her daughter.

“Nung una, tanggap mong bakla ang anak mo. Ipinagmamalaki mo ngang dalaga na ang anak mo, eh. Tapos ngayon, me nagpa-realize lang sa ‘yo na parang kasalanan ang maging bakla, wini-wish mo na sana ay magising sa katotohanan ang anak mo?” said Ogie.

“I think, mas kasalanan sa Diyos ‘yang kaipokritahan mo. Tinanggap mo nung una, tapos ngayon, babawiin mo? Laban-laban, bawi-bawi? Mas hahangaan pa kita kung sa una pa lang, consistent ka nang ayaw mong maging bakla anak mo. Pinanindigan mo,” he added.

According to him, the decision of Sofia to be separated from her parents was understandable due to Izzy’s beliefs.

“So masisisi ba natin yung bata kung magsabi siya na hindi na healthy kung magsasama pa kayong mag-ina?” said Ogie. “Juice ko, kahit maging pusa o sirena pa yang anak mo someday, anak mo yan, tanggapin mo. May purpose ang existence niya sa mundo, hayaan mong hanapin niya. At tanggapin mo ang anak mo kung hindi naman nanghahamak o nang-aapi ng kapwa,”

“So long as hindi naman siya gumagawa ng illegal, hindi sakit ng lipunan habang happy naman siya sa kanyang mga ginagawa eh payagan mo na,” he added.

Andrei Trazona’s Dad expresses support to his drag queen son.

Despite being opposed by her mother Izzy Aragon-Trazona, Andrei Trazona received support from her father Michael Navarro.

Andrei whose name is now Sofia revealed his identity as a member of the LGBT for the first time and even declared herself as a drag queen.

While Izzy, a former dancer, criticized the decision of her daughter, Michael said that he had no problem with Sofia’s new identity as long as she’s not doing bad to other people.

“Wala naman akong ibang naisip na masama sa ginawa nya… as long as sya yun eh…Hindi sya gumagawa ng masama sa kapwa nya…Tuloy lang nya yung pangarap nya…” Michael said.

It can be recalled that Izzy said that she wanted to stop her son from being drag queen because of her religious beliefs.

“Sino ba naman magulang ang gustong mapahamak ang anak? When all your motive is to save them sa mas masakit na pwede nilang maranasan. Ang buhay na wala si Kristo,” Izzy said.

“Andrei anak, I love you so much to not support you on things that will harm you. I am always here for you…your mama, mahal na mahal kita,” she added.

Meanwhile, Sofia admitted that her mother didn’t support her even from the start and she lied during an interview where she said that the former dancer was supporting of her.
