Ginaya? Arnold Clavio asks if a part of PBBM’s SONA speech is copied from Leni Robredo.

Kapuso journalist Arnold Clavio posted a clip from President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr’s second State of the Nation Address (SONA), comparing its similarity to former Vice President Leni Robredo’s speech during the presidential debates.

In the said speech, Marcos said that he was hoping that someday, no more Filipinos would be forced to work abroad.

“It is our wish that one day foreign employments will be driven by choice and not by necessity,” said Marcos.

It was similar to what Robredo said when she shared her opinion about Filipinos working abroad.

“Target talaga natin dapat na ‘yung mga kababayan natin ay lumalabas na lamang ng bansa para magtrabaho by choice and not out of necessity,” Robredo said.

In his Instagram post, Clavio couldn’t stop noticing the similarity between the two speeches.

“Ano ang probability na nagkataon lang ? Ano rin ang probability na kinopya , ginaya , hiniram ?” Clavio said.

“Kaya lang , nadala na tayo sa mga panggagaya ng kanyang mga kalihim sa mga departamento . Ayokong isipin .

“Minsan , tayo ay may iisa tayong hangarin . Basta sa ikabubuti ng kapwa Pilipino nagkakaisa tayo nang gustong mangyari .” he added.

He also praised the one who noticed the similarity of the said speeches.

Beauty Gonzales receives criticism for wearing excavated gold jewelry

Actress Beauty Gonzales stunned the public with the dress and jewelry she wore during the recent GMA Night Gala.

However, several academics noticed that Beauty was wearing a necklace, which came from the excavated jewelry used by ancient people to cover the eyes and mouth of the departed.

According to art critic and curator Marian Pastor Roces, the jewelry worn by Beauty was supposed to be displayed at government-owned museums or in the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas if it was legally excavated.

“Sure, the owners have been dead for a thousand years. BUT. This fashion victim is wearing mouth and eye covers: around 10 of them. Which is to say that the necklace was fashioned from excavations of many individuals. That is an astounding number of desecrated graves!” said Roces.

Historian Alvin D. Campomanes of the University of the Philippines – Manila explained the importance of the jewelry worn by the actress.

“Ayon sa mga antropólogo at historyador-pangkultura, sadyang sinusuotan ng mga ninuno natin ng mga gintong palamuti ang mga bangkay. Madalas, ginagamit itong pantakip sa mga bahagi ng mukha na may butas (i.e. mata, ilong, bibig) upang itaboy ang masasamang espiritung maaari pa ring pumasok sa katawan ng yumao,” the professor explained.

He also questioned how Beauty acquired the said jewelry.

As of writing, Beauty has yet to give any response to the criticism she received.

Netizens were also waiting for the National Historical Commission’s comment on the issue.

Buboy Villar receives accusation of trying to copy Jose Manalo’s comedic style

Eat Bulaga host Buboy Villar went viral on social media after being spotted eating at the Carinderia owned by the ‘G sa Gedli’ winner last July 22.

In the photo posted by ‘My Sparkle Notebook,’ Buboy enjoyed a meal from Aling Agnes’s store while Isko Moreno interviewed the winner.

While many netizens laughed at Buboy’s actions, some fans of the original Eat Bulaga Dabarkads couldn’t stop noticing the similarity between the host’s gestures to Jose Manalo.

It can be recalled that Jose Manalo, who’s one of the most popular hosts of Eat Bulaga’s former segment ‘Juan for All, All for Juan,’ was known for not wasting the opportunity to taste the food of their winners when there was a chance.

“Galawang Jose Manalo yarn,” netizen Allen said.

“Hirap gayahin ni jose no buboy peace,” netizen Alex remarked.

“Hanggang dyan ba nman sa segment nio na yan wala parin originality , buboy hindi mo kayang pantayan si jose , obvious naman na ginagaya mo sya,” netizen Millet commented.

The current Eat Bulaga has been accused of copying the ideas and even the style of the original Dabarkads. Still, legally, TAPE Inc., the production company behind the said noontime show, owned the rights to the segments and title of the program.

 

Jak Roberto, ipinaliwanag kung bakit solo silang rumampa nila Barbie Forteza sa red carpet

Jak Roberto explained why he and his girlfriend, Barbie Forteza decided not to walk together on the red carpet at the GMA Gala.

In an interview with Emil Sumangil, Jak clarified that it was a mutual decision between him and Barbie to become ‘dateless’ during the special event.

“Nag-usap kami na kailangan solo-solo kami na dumaan sa red carpet para mas ma-emphasize ‘yung damit at makapag thank you sa designers, mas may spot kumbaga,” he explained.

It can be recalled that several ‘BarJak’ fans expressed concern that the actor was abandoned by his own girlfriend during the Gala to avoid disappointing the fans of Barbie and her love team David Licauco.

However, several photos showed that David and Barbie enjoyed the night together.

Jak even became a subject of a meme, calling the actor ‘immune to jealousy.’

Some also praised Jak for being supportive of his girlfriend, who’s now enjoying fame after her love team with David became popular.

Willie Revillame admits looking for sponsors for Wowowin’s return: “Humihingi ako ng tulong sa aking mga kaibigan”

Television host Willie Revillame appeared publicly for the first time since his resignation from AllTV.

In the Facebook Live of Wowowin, Willie gave away prices to their lucky callers amid his meeting with his staff.

He clarified that he’s not yet working with anyone so the prices he was giving away came from his own pocket.

“Even me, wala po akong maging suweldo rito. Gagawin ko lang po ito para maibabalik ang pagbibigay ng saya natin, yung tunay na saya, hindi yung saya na sayawan lang yun na. Yung tunay na saya na nagbibigay ng tulong. Yung tunay na saya na galing sa puso,” said Willie.

Willie then announced that they’re already working on the return of Wowowin in the upcoming months and looking for potential sponsors.

“Inaayos ko lamang po na makakuha tayo ng mga sponsors. Kinakausap ko lang po ang ilang mga kaibigan na makatulong sa programa. Alam mo naman ho na pag walang telebisyon, walang masyadong kita. Walang commercials,” he explained.

“Humihingi ako ng tulong sa aking mga kaibigan na nangako, di ba? Sana matuloy to para may maibigay kami sa inyo. Kahit papano, gagawa kami ng paraan para matuloy.” he added.

As of writing, Willie has yet to reveal any details about the possible new home of Wowowin.

There were reports that Willie already had failed negotiations with TAPE Inc., and he was also spotted talking with the officials of the government-owned channel PTV and IBC 13.

Suzette Doctolero at Ogie Diaz, nagkabati na matapos ang ilang taon nilang pagtatalo

Talent manager and showbiz columnist Ogie Diaz confirmed that he met GMA head writer Suzette Doctolero at the GMA Gala 2023.

In his online show, Ogie narrated his unexpected meeting with Suzette, who’s known to be one of his critics for several years.

According to him, the only thing they did was laugh at each other during the said meeting.

“Wala ng pali-paliwanag, nagyakap kami, nag-picture kami,” he said.

However, he reminded Suzette that she blocked him on Twitter.

In response, Suzette quickly unblocked Ogie on the social media platform.

It can be recalled that the feud between Suzette and Ogie started when the writer criticized the show ‘Bagani.’

Suzette called out the people behind the defunct ABS-CBN show because of its portrayal of ‘Babaylan’ or Filipino shamans.

“Pakiusap na maging maingat tayo sa pagsusulat lalo na at mula sa ating mayamang kultura. Utang na loob. Huwag nating gawing kalokohan lalo at maraming batang nanonood. Hindi ito katatawanan,” she said.

Ogie’s former talent, Liza Soberano, was one of the leading casts of the show, so he couldn’t stop himself from defending the show from Suzette.

“Bago pumuna sa uling ng iba, humarap muna sa salamin, baka meron ka ding uling sa mukha,” the talent manager said.

“Kaya gusto kong sabihin dito kay Suzette Doctolero na madalas pumuna sa show ng abs-cbn habang siya’y writer ng gma-7, nobody’s perfect, atih,” he added.

In 2020, the two also exchanged arguments on social media about the ABS-CBN franchise issue.

“Huwag mo akong diktahan kung anong ipo-post ko. Napaka ironic na ‘yang “nyetang freedom of expression ang binabandera ninyo pero pikon at bitter ka sa anumang dissenting opinion dyan sa inyong narrative na drama drama,” Suzette told Ogie.

Takot? Manny Pacquiao refuses to try riding on roller coaster

Eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao faced many boxing champions and Hall of Famers during his career as a boxer.

Many boxing fans labeled Pacquiao as ‘no fear’ as he never ducked any opponent during his career.

People thought that the boxing champion was afraid of no one, but they seemed wrong.

In a video posted by Kobe Arizala, millions of netizens realized that Pacquiao had few things he was afraid of, including a roller coaster ride.

Pacquiao, who visited Jesu Shinwa World last week, was asked by one of his fans to try to roller coaster ride in the said amusement park.

However, the ‘Pambansang Kamao’ quickly refused the offer, saying he would rather box than roll a roller coaster.

“Suntukan nalang, wag lang ‘yung roller coaster,” said Pacquiao.

The fan didn’t follow Pacquiao anymore, and some netizens believed that the uploader was frightened by the response from the future Hall of Famer.

“Hindi na sumunod ‘yung nag video eh. Kahit joke siguro yan tatakot parin ako,” netizen Carding said.

“Mahilo sa roller coaster? or mahilo sa suntok ni Manny?” netizen Joshua commented.

The video already gained millions of views on social media.

Willie Revillame hints return on television as he visits government-owned PTV channel

After months of being away in the public eye, Willie Revillame finally made an appearance again as he was spotted visiting the headquarters of the government-owned People’s Television Network (PTV) channel.

In a Facebook post, Diane Querrer shared a photo of her together with long-haired Kuya Wil.

Querrer only responded with ‘praying’ emojis when asked if Willie would transfer to PTV.

There were reports that Willie was actively looking for television stations to become his new home since his stint on AllTV was considered a failure.

However, veteran columnist Lolit Solis revealed that Willie had difficulties in finding a network to transfer because of his fading popularity.

“Para bang gusto mo na lang isipin parang isang panaginip na lang ang mga nagaganap. Hindi mo aakalain na ngayon naghahanap ng isang network si Willie Revillame na kukupkop sa kanya. Samantalang nuon kasikatan niya para siyang hari o king na hinahabol habol. Maiisip mo ba na isang Willie Revillame malalaos at wala ng pumapansin?” said Lolit.

“Hindi man lang siya napag usapan ng magkaruon ng issue ang mga afternoon shows dahil sa tapatan. Wala man lang naghanap sa isang Willie Revillame. Sa isang iglap bilang naging laos si Willie. Kaya nga ang advice namin sana mag retire muna siya at bumalik kung meron ng naghahanap sa kanya. Mukha naman kawawa ang isang Willie Revillame kung nandiyan siya at walang pumapansin di ba?” she added.

It was also reported that Willie was also talking with TAPE Inc. for a possible noontime slot sharing.
