Talo pero jackpot! Sweldo ng mga player ng Gilas na lumaban sa FIBA World Cup, ibinunyag

Despite its disastrous performance during the FIBA World Cup 2023, it seems that the players who represented the Philippines were still expected to receive a fat paycheck.

According to several reports, NBA Player Jordan Clarkson, who also plays for Gilas was earning around P9.5-M a day.

“Sabi sa akin ng aking ‘bubwit’, pumapatak na nasa close to P9 million a day, baka ‘yung per day na iyon ay ‘yung pagdating niya sa Pilipinas,” basketball coach Gerry Esplana said.

Another report posted by Full Court disclosed that Clarkson received a total of P56,781,000 to represent the country, while the 7′ 2″ player Kai Sotto was paid P11,356,200.

However, even the highest amount of money didn’t change the outcome of Gilas’ games and they’re now currently suffering from a 0-4 result.

They’re also considered one of the poorest performers during the FIBA World Cup even if they hosted the tournament.

Even Nesthy Petecio, one of the medalists last Olympics couldn’t hide his envy after reading the paycheck received by Clarkson and Sotto.

“Sana all,” said Petecio.

It can be recalled that Petecio was one of the athletes who pushed the government to increase its funding for its national athletes.

KC Concepcion confirmed that she unfollowed her stepfather Kiko Pangilinan and half-sister Frankie Pangilinan to maintain her peace of mind.

In an interview with Cristy Fermin, KC said that there was a ‘complication’ for her to be part of a blended family.

She also insisted that there was nothing wrong with unfollowing Kiko and Frankie, explaining that she only wanted to take care of her mental health.

“Hindi naman po masama na magkaroon ng time na meron kayong ina-unfollow, or meron kayong ipa-follow. Mahirap lang po talaga kapag showbiz po yung family, talagang lahat po pinupuna po,” she said.

“Ako kasi, I think, yung sa akin is more of, like I said, may mga complicated po talaga pagdating sa blended family. Meron din po talagang mga times na hindi perfect, hindi po kami perpekto. And hindi po lagi kailangang perfect.

“So, wala naman po akong gustong ikuwento pa apart from the fact na, ako, I just want peace of mind, I want to be happy. I want my family to be happy. 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.” 

KC also clarified that she made an effort to be close to her half-siblings.

“Kahit po yung mga half-sister ko na hindi ko na po kasama sa bahay, pinipilit kong maging close kami — from Garie to Chloe to Frankie to Miel to Miguel to Samantha to Savannah. Very close po ako sa mga half-sister at half-brother ko,” she said.

“I just think na may mga moments na wala na akong control, mas gugustuhin ko pong i-keep ang aking peace of mind. Kasi po 30s na rin po ako, di na po ako bata. So, may mga panahon din po na parang isipin ko muna yung mental health ko, kung ano yung makakabuti sa peace of mind ko kahit ano pa yan, mas uunahin ko po muna yun,” she added.

As of writing, Kiko and Frankie have yet to give a response on the issue.

GMA Journalist Vicky Morales couldn’t stop her emotion during her visit to legendary broadcaster Mike Enriquez’s wake at the Christ The King Parish, Greenmeadows in Quezon City.

In the photos posted by GMA News on August 31, Vicky was seen crying while peeking at Enriquez’s casket.

She was also seen talking to Enriquez’s wife, Lizabeth “Baby” Yumping to express her condolences.

Yumping was a fan of Enriquez who was working as a radio DJ before they met.

Morales was one of the closest colleagues of Enriquez. They worked together on Saksi from 1999-2004 and also on 24 Oras from 2014-2022.

The journalist also couldn’t hide her emotion while delivering the sad news on August 29.

Enriquez who became one of the pillars of Philippine Broadcasting passed away at the age of 71 after years of health problems.

The Supreme Court of the Philippines confirmed that Willie Gonzales, the former cop who went viral after his confrontation with a cyclist was their employee.

In a statement released by the highest court, they confirmed that Gonzales was a ‘co-terminus’ staff of Associate Justice Ricardo Rosario.

However, when the incident went viral on social media, Rosario quickly removed Gonzales.

“This is to notify the public that Mr. Wilfredo Gonzales was a coterminous employee of the Office of Associate Justice Ricardo R. Rosario. His employment was immediately terminated on August 27, 2023, upon discovery of the incident,” the SC said in a statement.

“Justice Rosario does not condone any form of violence or abusive behavior,” they added.

It can be recalled that Gonzales was suspected to be one of the employees of the Department of Justice (DOJ), but Sec. Boying Remulla denied the rumors.

Meanwhile, there was a possibility that Gonzales would not be charged for the incident as the cyclist already said that they already settled his issues with the former cop.

“Wala pong money involved dyan dahil di mababayaran ng kahit anong bagay o pera yung stress na dinulot nyan sa akin sa pamilya ko lalo na sa mga anak ko di ako natatakot o tinakot man desisyon ko po na di na magsampa ng kaso para sa katahimikan ng pamilya ko at sana igalang po nila ‘yun,” the cyclist stated.

For almost five decades, Mike Enriquez was known not only for his iconic voice and news delivery but also because of some of the memes that he was subjected to by netizens.

Some of his most memorable lines were his ‘excuse me po!” every time he was coughing in the middle of his news delivery, his error when he mentioned ‘sumbungan ng hotdog’ instead of ‘sumbungan ng bayan’ and the ‘Ang Sarap mo Pia’ lines when he was trying to thank Iya Villania during 24 Oras’ segment Chika Minute.

His errors proved that even the most seasoned journalist like Enriquez was still vulnerable to mistakes.

When he passed away on August 29, netizens also remembered a video showing Enriquez saying ‘Mga Kapuso, uuwi na po ako,” who made a long pause after delivering the said lines.

The video went viral and became subject to memes because netizens thought that Enriquez was telling the public that he was about to go home.

However, the video circulating on social media was trimmed and the real story was Enriquez was only mentioning the tweet from former Sen. Panfilo Lacson during the Eleksyon 2022 coverage.

The said video went viral again on social media after some netizens said that ‘Uuwi na po ako’ line hits differently now that the veteran journalist passed away.

“24 oras will never be the same without Sir Mike Enriquez. Rest in Peace, Sir Mike! Now, I remembered his one of the most iconic lines,” netizen user said.

“Mga Kapuso, uuwi na po ako” Before, we made fun of it. Now, it hits different.  Sir Mike, umuwi ka na nga nang tuluyan, umuwi ka na sa piling ng ating Maykapal. Maraming Salamat sa serbisyo mo, Sir Mike. Mananatili kang legend sa puso ng bawat tao at sa mundo ng broadcasting,” he added.

“This moment hits different now na talagang umuwi na siya. RIP Sir Mike,” netizen Johnny remarked.

The daughter of Noli de Castro and former General Manager of PTV Network Kat de Castro couldn’t hide her disappointment after some news companies announced the passing of Mike Enriquez before GMA Network.

In a Facebook post, De Castro said that it was ethical to let the family of the veteran journalist or his home network announce the news first.

“Let me just rant a bit. When someone passes away, the right thing to do is to let the family or the official representative make the announcement,” said De Castro.

“We should respect the right of the immediate family to grieve by themselves or to announce it to other close family and friends first. There may be reasons unknown to us why it was not announced right away,” she added.

It can be recalled that GMA Network delayed the coverage of Enriquez’s passing to announce the news on the veteran journalist’s main program 24 Oras.

Before the show ended, Mel Tiangco, Vicky Morales, and Emil Sumangil confirmed the sad news to the public and remembered the legacy of Enriquez.

The cyclist who got involved in a confrontation with a former policeman refused to file charges against the latter.

It can be recalled that Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte urged the cyclist to file charges against the suspect, Willie Gonzales after the former cop almost used his weapon during the confrontation that happened on August 8.

However, according to the cyclist, the issue was already settled between him and Gonzales on the day of the incident.

“Good afternoon gusto ko lang ipabatid sa kanila na naayos na po namin ni MR GONZALEZ ang isyu na yan nung AUG 8 pa nag usap po kmi ng masinsinan dyan at nagkapatwaran maayos po kaming naghiwalay, nagkamay at nagyakapan bago kmi umalis ng GALAS station saksi ang mga pulis sa maayos naming pag uusap desisyon ko po yung di na magreklamo kc ayaw ko rin naman ng gulo kaya di ako lumalantad ay desisyon po yun ng aking pamilya,” said the cyclist.

He also denied that he was paid by the suspect to keep mum on the issue.

According to him, he chose to keep his privacy and peace amid the possible publicity that the issue would gain if ever he pursued filing charges against the former cop.

“Wala pong money involved dyan dahil di mababayaran ng kahit anong bagay o pera yung stress na dinulot nyan sa akin sa pamilya ko lalo na sa mga anak ko di ako natatakot o tinakot man desisyon ko po na di na magsampa ng kaso para sa katahimikan ng pamilya ko at sana igalang po nila ‘yun,” he stated.

As of writing, Atty. Raymond Fortun, one of the lawyers who wanted to represent the cyclist has yet to give any comment on the issue.
