Actress Carmi Martin disclosed why she decided to pursue a career in television instead of focusing on movie projects.

In an interview with Snooky Serna, Carmi said that during the ’80s, she experienced several indecent proposals from producers.

It even reached the point that they wanted her to become more ‘daring’ with her roles and do frontal nudity.

“Meron akong mga invitation na ganyan during that time, kasi nga ang seksi ko, e. And may mga producers din na talagang gustong nag-ano, nag-try na mag-take advantage sa akin, to the point na tinulak ko,” she said.

Carmi then pushed to pursue a career in television because it was better regulated than movies.

Snooky then called it a ‘Producer’s Touch,’ a term for celebrities who became popular by following their producers’ desires.

Fortunately, Carmi’s television career became successful, and she became part of several shows on major television networks.

Since 1976, Carmi never lost a project on television. Not even the pandemic stopped her from working.

Internet celebrity Chloe San Jose heated the stage with her sizzling performance at the ABS-CBN’s variety show ASAP.

Chloe, the girlfriend of two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo, performed ‘Havana’ by Camila Cabello while wearing her signature pink dress.

Her performance received mixed reactions from the netizens; some praised her talent, while critics still claimed that she used Carlos to become popular.

However, this was not the first time Chloe has become a guest on ASAP.

In 2020, Chloe also performed an acoustic single on the same show.

Before becoming popular on social media, Chloe was already known on the internet as a singer and songwriter.

Fans were waiting if Chloe would also become part of other shows after she became so popular due to her relationship with Carlos.

There were already rumors that she and her boyfriend would be part of FPJ’s Batang Quiapo as a guest.

A content creator toured the netizens to the house of the two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo’s family in Leveriza Street in Manila.

John Robert Costura toured his followers to Leveriza Street, where Carlos was molded to become a world-class gymnast.

After walking for several minutes, Costura was approached by Carlos’ grandfather, who guided him to Yulo’s residence.

Costura was greeted by several clothes hung at the house’s front door, where Carlos’ mother, Angelica Yulo, greeted him.

It was noticeable that the house was already full of different things, from clothes to groceries and appliances.

Portraits of Carlos and family photos could also be found in their crowded living room.

When Costura climbed to the second floor, he witnessed the same thing: clothes and luggage were everywhere.

After the video went viral, several netizens urged Carlos to help his family find a new house, as their Leveriza home was already congested.

They believed that Carlos was capable of giving his family a new home, as he received several properties and millions of pesos in cash after winning two gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

“Dapat magulang ang unahin nya bago ang ibang tao,maswerte sya buhay pa mga magulang nya,bka magsisi sya pagdating ng araw dahil ndi tinulungan mga magulang nya,walang sisi sa una laging nasa huli,” netizen Camilo said.

“May bahay si Carlos sa Batangas regalo sa kanya worth 6M ibibigay niya yan sa pamilya niya, masyado kaya kasi atat pinangungunahan ninyo yun tao, hayaan lng magkasundo na sila, kayo netizen may kasalanan kanya kanya kayo ng opinion hindi kayo nakatulong sa pamilya!” netizen Lina remarked.

The reconcilation between actor Kit Thompson and Ana Jalandoni was currently being discussed on social media two years after their well-publicized breakup.

It can be recalled that in 2022, Ana disclosed that her ex-boyfriend mistreated her while they were at a hotel in Tagaytay.

She even publicly revealed the aftermath of the incident, showing the bruises on her face.

Ana then filed serious charges against Kit, which rumored to already been withdrew after the reconcilation between the two.

According to the report published by Bulgar, Ana and Kit reignited their relationship.

However, according to the report published by the Philippine Entertainment Portal, Kit denied the rumors.

But Kit admitted that he was already on good terms with his ex-girlfriend.

“We’re actually good. Yeah! It’s all good,” he said.

“Tama naman ang sinasabi nila. People will always talk, and nasa yo na lang yun kung papano mo ma-handle yung sarili mo, ang emotions mo,” he added.

Leyte 4th district Representative Richard Gomez raised the netizens’ eyebrows after he made a recommendation after being stuck in traffic along EDSA.

In his post, the lawmaker narrated how he was stuck along EDSA for more than two hours.

He then proposed to open the bus lanes to private vehicles during traffic hours.

However, some netizens criticized Gomez’s proposal, saying that he was not aware of the benefits of having a bus lane for normal commuters.

According to them, a bus could accommodate 38 passengers compared to the 4 to 13 capacity of private vehicles.

They even invited Gomez to try riding the bus lane to see how convenient it was.

“Kaya po hiniwalay yang bus lane para mapabilis ang biyahe. Dati po kasi magulo at wala sa linya at panay sisi sa bus. Ngayong naka harang po sila, naging maayos ang daloy at umikli ang oras ng biyahe ng mga bus. Pasensya na pero madami ding pribadong sasakyan ang entitled sa kalye kaya lalong nag kaka trapik. Gustuhin man natin pagbigyan ang hiling o suhestyon, mas makakabuti na HINDI. Kasi siguradong magbabara at magiging walang saysay ang pag ayos ni Col Edison Bong Nebrija sa bus lane. It is not 100 percent perfect but it is 101. Wag na po makigulo ang ibang sasakyan sa bus lane. Leave it to the buses please,” netizen Jo Soliman said.

Gomez already deleted the said post as of writing.

Celebrity fortune teller Rudy Baldwin shared her ‘vision’ for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

In her Facebook post, Rudy mentioned Eldrew and Eliza Yulo as possible gold medal winners in the next Olympics.

She also mentioned women boxers, Aira Villegas, and Nesthy Petecio.

“GOLD MEDALS FOR THE NEXT OLYMPICS KEEP BELIEVE IN GOD AND HAVE FAITH ON HIM.BELIEVE IN YOURSELF THAT YOU CAN DO IT AND YOU CAN HAVE IT.STAY HUMBLE AND DON’T FORGET TO LOVE YOUR FAMILY ALWAYS .GO FOR GOLDS,” said Rudy.

Rudy didn’t mention two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo as a potential winner in the next Olympics.

It can be recalled that many experts believed that the Yulo siblings have a chance to have a medal finish in 2028, especially Eldrew who won several competitions both locally and internationally.

The Gymnastics Association of the Philippines (GAP) also declared their intention to form a national gymnastics team, including Carlos and Eldrew.

Singer Gerald Santos revealed that some people approached him and claimed they were also victims of a former musical director of GMA Network.

Gerald named award-winning composer Danny Tan as the one who took advantage of him when he was 15 years old.

“Sa gulang po na 15 years old ay naranasan ko ang pinakamapait na maaring maranasan ng isang bata, pero dahil po sa aking narundog na pangarap na maihaon ng aking pamilya sa kahirapan ay pinilit ko pong kalimutan ang pangyayaring ito sa aking puso at isipan,” said Gerald.

“Hindi po alam ng aking pamilya pero apat na beses po akong nag-isip na tapusin na ang aking buhay dahil sa matinding kahihiyan na maaari kong maranasan kapag nalaman ito ng lahat, dahil sa pandidiri ko sa sarili na ginawan ako ng ganito, dahil alam ko po sa sarili ko na wala akong magagawa at walang makikinig sa’kin,” he added.

In his vlog, Gerald said that one of the individuals who approached him was younger than him when they experienced the same maltreatment from Tan.

“Ako po ay gulat na gulat dahil may mga nag-message po sa akin na ilan niya din pong nabiktima,” said Gerald. “Ang ikinagulantang ko po ay meron po na mas bata pa sakin,” 

However, he refused to name the said individual, saying that he was not in the right position to reveal their identities.

“Nasa sa kanila ‘yon kung gusto nilang lumabas at magsalita,” he stated.

He also said that he was already preparing to file charges against Tan.

Before he ended his vlog, Gerald said that he hoped his decision to disclose his experience would inspire other members of the showbiz community also to seek justice.

“Nakikita ko na po ang liwanag doon po sa madilim kong pinagdaanan,” he stated.

As of this writing, Tan has yet to respond to Gerald’s revelation.

In her online program, Cristy said that Carlos and Chloe were already planning to marry each other in Melbourne, Australia.

Cristy expressed her support for Carlos and Chloe, saying that they deserve to live with each other forever.

“Parang Pacman at Jinkee Pacquiao,” she added.

The veteran columnist also claimed that Chloe and her family supported Carlo when the gymnast was still poor.

“Sila talaga ang dapat magkatuluyan, dahil sila yung nagsama at naging magkarelasyon noong walang-wala pa si Caloy,” she said.
