Veteran columnist Cristy Fermin shared information she received from trusted sources about the plans of two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo and his girlfriend, Chloe San Jose.

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

“Ito ‘yung pinag-uusapan ng pabulong, hindi pasigaw sa mundo ng palakasan. Magpapakasal na daw sila sa Melbourne,” said Cristy.

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

She also said that the challenges faced by the couple in the past built a strong foundation for their relationship.

“Kung sino ‘yung nakasama natin sa dilim na kahit nag-abot ng isang kandila, ‘yun ang ating mamahalin,” she said.

“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.

As of this writing, Carlos and Chloe, who have already been living together, have yet to confirm their possible wedding.

Carlos Yulo’s father, Mark Andrew Yulo, went viral on social media after a video he published online touched the hearts of his followers.

In the video, Mr. Yulo was capturing himself riding a simple bicycle on his way to work.

According to the reports, Mr. Yulo was working as a travel agent liaison.

Despite the millions earned by his children from joining gymnastics competitions, Mr. Yulo is still determined to do his obligation to support his family.

“Bike to work, love and peace,” said Mr. Yulo.

It can be recalled that Mr. Yulo couldn’t hide his sadness when his two-time Olympic gold medalist child accused him of pocketing the cash incentives the latter received from different competitions.

He then defended himself, saying that if he were pocketing his child’s money, he would not be forced to travel to work using public transportation or riding a bike.

Ibinahagi ni Mark Andrew Yulo ang kanyang ginagawang pagbibisikleta kapag siya ay papunta sa kanyang pinagta-trabahuhan. Sa nasabing video ay makikita si Mr. Yulo habang gamit ang kanyang simpleng bisikleta. Ayon sa mga ulat ay isang travel agent liaison si Mr. Yulo. “Bike to work, love and peace,” ani Mr. Yulo. Kung masama naman ang panahon ay nagko-commute si Mr. Yulo papunta sa kanyang trabaho. Matatandaan na hanggang ngayon ay hindi parin nakakapag-usap ng personal si Mr. Yulo at si Carlos matapos ang nangyaring alitan sa kanila. Ayon kasi kay Mr. Yulo ay sinabihan sila ni Carlos na umano’y kinukuha nila ang mga perang napapanalunan ng atleta sa mga kompetisyon. “PHP6 million pa lang yung pera niya, then naging PHP11 million. Hindi naubos yun. Bakit namin nanakawin yan?” ani Mr. Yulo. “Kung nasa amin yung pera, sana umalis na kami sa looban. Sana may mga account na kami, may kotse na kami. Wala nga kami, nagko-commute lang kami,” dagdag pa niya.

Gerald Santos was planning to file charges against musical director Danny Tan 19 years after the alleged incident where he was “forced” by the latter happened.

In his social media post, Gerald expressed relief that he was finally taking steps to get the justice he deserved.

“Ang luwag sa dibdib ko ngayon na aking pinangalanan na ang umabuso sa akin kanina sa Senado.. Unti unti ay nakakamit ko na ang hustisya at dadalin nanamin ito sa hukuman. Ang akin pong paglabas tungkol dito should not be a lost cause,” said Gerald.

There was a 20-year prescription for cases like Gerald’s.

As of writing, the musical director who produced several shows under GMA Network has yet to give a response to the possible charges he may face.

It can be recalled that Gerald named Tan during the senate hearing.

“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.

Is Diwata planning to get a seat in the Congress?

Netizens couldn’t stop talking about the recent activities of social media personality Deo Balbuena, also known as “Diwata,” who was spotted at several activities conducted by a partylist group.

In a video, Diwata showed a billboard posted by vendors partylist representing Malu Lipana and Lorenz Pesigan.

“Ang laki ng billboard dito guys. So ayan, nakakatouch nga lang diba? Kasi sino ba naman mag-aakala na malalagay na tayo sa mga daanan na nakikita talaga ng tao. Sino ba naman ako para ilagay sa billboard? Kaya naman naaappreciate ko yung effort dyan. Maraming salamat!” said Diwata.

It’s not yet known if Diwata will also be included among the nominees of the said partylist.

Diwata’s affiliation with the partylist received mixed reactions from the netizens.

Some social media users found Diwata suitable as a vendor representative due to his Paresan business. In contrast, others believed that, due to his educational background, he could not become a lawmaker.

As of writing, Diwata has yet to give a response to his possible congressional bid.

Composer and producer Danny Tan went viral on social media after former GMA singer Gerald Santos named him during the senate hearing to investigate the alleged mistreatment received by several artists from their higher-ups.

During the hearing, Gerald revealed that Danny was the one who allegedly mistreated him when he was still 15 years old.

“Ngayon po ay handa ko ng harapin ang tunay kong kalaban. Ang nanghalay at umabuso sa akin noon ako po ay 15 years old pa lamang. Si Mr. Danny Tan,” said Gerald.

WHO IS DANNY TAN?

Danny was a known composer and musical director who worked in the television, movie, theater, and recording industries.

He became famous when he collaborated with Regine Velasquez in 1989 when the latter was competing at the 2nd Asia Pacific Song Festival, where the singer won.

The songwriter also wrote the song “Written in the Sand,” which Regine Velasquez performed in 2000.

Danny became one of the judges of Pinoy Pop Superstar in 2004, where he possibly met Gerald, a contestant at that time.

In 2007, Danny produced his first show on GMA Network, “Popstar Kids,” hosted by Kyla.

He also formed a group consisting of the young finalists of Popstar Kids, Rita Iringan, Julie Anne San Jose, Vanessa Rangadhol, Pocholo Bismonte, and Renzo Almario.

Danny then produced the second season of Pinoy Idol and became its musical director.

His last project with the network was possibly in 2009, when he became a judge of Are You The Next Big Star?

It can be recalled that Gerald blamed Danny for the downfall of his career, which he believed started when he made a formal complaint against the latter before the GMA executives.

Netizens were discussing the possibility of two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo and his girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, appearing on FPJ’s Batang Quiapo.

The speculations started when Batang Quiapo’s director and lead actor, Coco Martin, visited Carlos during a meeting held at the ABS-CBN compound.

Aside from Coco, Carlos also met with ABS-CBN executives, including Chairman Mark Lopez, ABS-CBN CEO and President Carlo Katigbak, as well as COO for Broadcast Cory Vidanes.

In the said meeting, ABS-CBN expressed their respect and gratefulness to Carlos for bringing honor to the country by winning two gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

It can be recalled that Carlos had already been asked if he was willing to enter showbiz.

However, Carlos at that time admitted that entering showbiz while preparing for his competitions at the same time would be challenging.

Singer Gerald Santos made a huge revelation during the investigation of the Senate Committee on Public Information and Mass Media on the artists being taken advantage of by their higher-ups.

Gerald couldn’t stop being emotional during the hearing as he released the secret he kept for many years.

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

“Ngayon po ay handa ko ng harapin ang tunay kong kalaban. Ang nanghalay at umabuso sa akin noon ako po ay 15 years old pa lamang. Si Mr. Danny Tan,” said Gerald.

Gerald said he was still a contestant at a GMA musical competition at that time, and he was afraid of facing entertainment giants like Tan.

“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.

As of writing, Tan, who produced several music competitions on GMA Network, has yet to respond to Gerald.

Mark Andrew Yulo, the father of two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo, couldn’t stop praising another athlete for helping her family.

In a Facebook post, Mr. Yulo shared a report about Olympic medalist Nesthy Petecio’s decision to dedicate the cash incentives she received to help her parents.

“Idol Nesthy Alcayde Petecio,” said Mr. Yulo

Mark Andrew also shared another post from a social user who made a message about the love of parents.

It can be recalled that Nesthy shared her dedication to her boxing journey, saying that she wanted to make the lives of her parents comfortable.

“Ayoko na naghihirap pa sila, so kung kaya ko silang tulungan. ‘Yun ang pangarap ko sa kanila, lagi ko na ngang nakakalimutan ang sarili ko mas gusto kong nakikita na okay ‘yung mga kapatid ko, pamangkin ko, mama ko, ganun lang kasimple ang pangarap ko,” said Neshy.

She also decided to distribute the properties she received as a reward for her participation in the Tokyo Olympics to her siblings.

“Yung mga bahay at lupa na natanggap ko, binigay ko lahat sa mga kapatid ko. Para talaga sa kanila ‘yon,” said Petecio.

“Maliban pa don, namili rin ako ng mga lupa,” she added.

Award-winning director Joel Lamangan denied responding to Ahron Villena’s accusations against a certain filmmaker.

In an interview, Lamangan said that the post circulating on social media, showing a post named under him, was not real.

In the said post, the account tried to portray Lamangan as unapologetic and even accused Ahron of being part of LGBT.

“No. Hindi ako yan, poser yan, scammer!” said Lamangan.

Even friends and colleagues of Lamangan believed that the director would not post something vulgar against somebody.

“Hindi nagpopost si Direk (Joel). Yan yung poser niya. Hindi yan gagamit ng ganyang word. Poser yan,” said by film producer Dennis Evangelista.

It can be recalled that Ahron took a swipe against Lamangan after the latter defended the independent contractors of GMA Network who allegedly took advantage of actor Sandro Muchlac.

“Wala namang problema sakin pero ilang beses mong tinatamaan at dinidikit yung kamay mo irerespeto kita bilang tao at direktor kasi magaling ka pero dahil baguhan pa lang ako noon OO lang ako ng OO kasi kelangann ko din kumita ng pera pero malamang hindi mo na maalala kasi sigurado ako hindi lang ako ang ginawan mo ng ganon,” said Ahron.

However, some of Lamangan’s colleagues believed that Ahron only used the renowned filmmaker to gain exposure.
