Eat Bulaga host Paolo Contis answered the netizens who were asking for his reaction to the decision of some GMA Network artists to appear on It’s Showtime instead of being a guest of the longest-running noontime show.

In an interview with Pep.ph, Paolo believed that being a guest of some artists on It’s Showtime was a ‘personal decision’ that anyone cannot control.

“Hindi mo masisisi yung mga ganun. Kasi siyempre, personal nilang desisyon yun,” said Paolo.

“Meron din sila siyempreng… hindi mo masasabi kung may takot, o merong personal na investment with others, di ba? You cannot take that against them. Basta kami, kung OK sa inyong mag-guest, bakit hindi, thank you. Kung hindi, e then we have to move on. We cannot take it against them. Ano naman yun, e… hindi kasi normal yung naging circumstance nung buong pangyayari. So, hindi mo sila masisisi,” he added.

It can be recalled that there were reports circulated how GMA Network treated It’s Showtime better than Eat Bulaga.

Veteran columnist Cristy Fermin even noticed, saying that GMA was ready to provide celebrity guests for It’s Showtime.

“Ang sama-sama ng loob ng mga taga-TAPE Incorporated kasi ‘yung mga artista ng GMA 7 na matagal na nilang iniimbita para lumabas sa kanilang programa kamuka’t muka’t mo nasa It’s Showtime nung Sabado,” said Fermin.

“Napakasakit nga naman nun. Sampal ng mag-asawa ‘yun,” she added.

Pura Luka Vega revealed that he used to be an educator in the past before becoming a drag queen.

In his post, Pura made a comment about the current state of several classrooms in the country, including the lack of ‘visual aids’ to help students to learn.

According to him, he was spending his own money to decorate his classroom with visual aids.

“As a former teacher, I find it weird that classrooms are stripped off of visual aids, that will supposedly help students learn and spark their interest and imagination. ‘Yung periodic table ko nga dati, I have to print to cover an entire wall so students appreciate chemistry,” said Pura.

It can be recalled that Pura became controversial on social media because of his “Ama Namin” performance.

Because of his actions, Pura was currently facing charges from two different groups and also had been declared persona non grata in 11 places in the Philippines.

Despite the consequences of his performance, Pura refused to apologize and insisted that he was only expressing his ‘art’.

Pura said that he didn’t mean to mock the Catholic Church and he was even open to dialogs with different groups.

Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc. denied that they were planning to switch networks after one of its executives, Seth Jalosjos was spotted having a meeting with Sen. Mark Villar.

It can be recalled that Villar owned AllTV, which made the netizens assume that the production company of the Jalosjos family was considering switching networks.

According to Atty. Maggie Abraham-Garduque, lawyer of TAPE Inc, there’s no truth that the production company was switching to any networks, including AllTV.

She clarified that Camella, one of the companies owned by the Villars was one of the major sponsors of Eat Bulaga.

“This is absolutely false news. Camella of the Villars is a major sponsor of Eat Bulaga’s segment ‘May Pa-Key Kami Sayo’ wherein winners can win a house and lot. If you can see the original post, Bullet merely greeted Mark Villar on his bday. There is no basis for the speculation that said bday greeting will be tantamount to intention to transfer to All TV,” said Abraham-Garduque.

“Besides the article also said that Eat Bulaga has an existing block time agreement with GMA so there is no need and reason to transfer to another network,” she added.

Hindi maitago ng isa sa mga may-ari ng pribadong resort na winasak ng isang grupo ng mga empleyado ang panlulumo dahil sa maaring magastos nila upang mapalitan ang mga gamit na pinaghahagis ng kanilang mga guest.

Sa panayam ng ABS-CBN, sinabi ni alyas ‘Lani’ na imbis na gagamitin niya na lamang para sa kanyang pagpapa-chemotherapy ang kinikita ng kanilang resort ay mapipilitan pa siyang gastusin ito para maipagawa ang nasira ng nasabing grupo.

“Imbis na magpapagamot ko, ipang-aayos ‘ko pa ng resort,” ani Lani.

Ayon naman sa isa pang may-ari ng resort ay nagbayad ng P30,000 ang grupong nanira ng kanilang mga gamit kapalit ng kapatawaran nila at pangakong hindi na sila sasampahan ng reklamo.

Pumayag naman ang may-ari ng resort at pinatawad na lamang ang mga ito imbis na magsampa pa ng demanda.

Umaasa naman ang may-ari ng resort na maglalabas ng public apology ang grupo upang ibahagi ang pagsisisi sa kanilang ginawang kasalanan.

Samsung Electro-Mechanics Philippines distanced its company from the activities done by their workers who went viral on social media after they destroyed the equipment in a private resort they rented.

It can be recalled that businesswoman Noneth Palentino posted the aftermath of the party, showing that several pieces of furniture, utensils, and even water dispensers were found littered in the pool.

Later on, the workers were identified as people working with Samsung, but the company said that the outing was not sponsored by them.

In an official statement they released on August 15, said that the said outing was not part of an official event of their company.

“We would like to inform you that this is not an official event of the company, but a personal deviation made at private meeting of some employees, so please refrain from expanding and reproducing contents that are different from the facts through some social media,” the company statement read.

“Respect towards others as well as professionalism are of highest importance to SEMPHIL. The disturbing incident is not a reflection of SEMPHIL employees’ values. SEMPHIL employees expressed utmost concern that the irresponsible posting of wrong information may tend to adversely affect their true character, which they have nurtured and protected,” they added.

As of writing, SEMPHIL has yet to confirm if they suspended or completely remove the said workers from their job.
