Singer Lyca Gairanod revealed her biggest secret that she had kept for a long time.

In an interview with the entertainment website Pika-Pika, Lyca said that she decided to accept an acting role in the horror movie, “Merry Cherry Chua,” because of her familiarity with paranormal beings.

Lyca claimed that her ‘third eye’ was open, and she could see things that normal people couldn’t notice.

“Sa personal lang naman po ’yon na natatakot ako pero kaya ko naman pala po s’yang gawin sa movie,” said Lyca.

“Bukas po kasi ’yong ano ko, e, third eye. Nakakakita po ako simula nu’ng bata pa ako lalo na po dito sa lugar namin,” she added.

According to her, she enjoyed being part of the project despite being afraid of ghosts.

“Gusto ko rin talagang mag-artista talaga, gusto ko rin maging actress. Dito sa horror movie, super nag-enjoy po ako dito kahit na matatakutin akong tao, magugulatin akong tao,” she stated.

“Merry Cherry Chua” was set to be released on July 19, 2023.

 

Rendon Labador lectures Ricci Rivero: ‘Kinampihan pa naman kita. ‘Yun pala puro ka porma!’

Motivational Speaker Rendon Labador couldn’t hide his disappointment after realizing that the man he was siding with was not really worth defending.

In a series of Facebook posts, Rendon slammed basketball player Ricci Rivero after he watched the interview of Vice Ganda with the latter’s ex-girlfriend, Andrea Brillantes.

It can be recalled that Andrea spilled the tea against Ricci, saying that her ex-boyfriend was not washing his clothes for a year.

“Gusto ko lang sabihin minsan, kung hirap ka mag-move on, kailangan mo talaga isipin ‘yung mga bagay na, ‘Talaga ba iiyakan ko ‘yung lalakeng hindi nagpapa-laundy nang isang taon?” Andrea said.

Rendon, who was known for defending Ricci, expressed his dismay that the basketball player was not even washing his clothes and even accepting gifts from Andrea.

“Kinampihan pa naman kita bro sa #CareerMunaBagoLandi. Akala ko matindi ka talaga. ‘Yun pala puro ka porma, dugyot ka na, palamunin ka pa!” said Rendon.

“Kahihiyan sa ating mga kalalakihan si Ricci Rivero, puro porma palamunin pala!” he also said.

The motivational speaker said that the basketball player doesn’t deserve a girl like Andrea.

However, he also questioned why Andrea didn’t provide a washing machine for Ricci to wash his clothes.

As of writing, Ricci has yet to give any response to Rendon’s statement against him.

Rendon Labador tinawag na plastik si Lea Salonga: ‘Expired ka na!’

Motivational Speaker Rendon Labador couldn’t stop himself from criticizing singer Lea Salonga after she went viral on social media after refusing a request from fans to have a photo with her.

“Who are you? I’m sorry, I don’t know who you are.” Lea told the said Filipino fans. “If you’re not on the guest list we cannot have you back here. So, you’ll have to get to the door because if I allow this now then other people are gonna take advantage,

In a statement, Lea already made an explanation, saying that the three Filipino fans entered her dressing room without her permission.

“My personal boundaries and space were violated; what am I supposed to react?” said Lea in an interview.

Rendon believed that Lea’s explanation was valid, but her body language during the interview showed a different thing.

“Okay yung paliwanag pero hindi maganda ‘yung body language. Plastic si Lea Salonga,” the motivational speaker stated.

He also described Lea as ‘expired’ like other celebrities he criticized.

In another post, Rendon criticized Lea for not accommodating her few admirers.

According to him, some celebrities lose their fame because of their bad attitude toward their fans.

“Ilang piraso na nga lang ‘yung fans mo hindi mo pa ma cater [facepalm emoji] Madami talagang artista na may attitude sa totoong buhay. Kaya din kayo nalalaos,” he said.

As of writing, Lea has yet to give a response to Rendon.

Bakbakan na! Sabrina M tatlo ang magiging abogado sa kasong isasampa ni Claudine Barretto

Actress Sabrina M was more than prepared for the upcoming legal battle between her and Claudine Barretto.

In a Facebook post, Sabrina tapped the legal service of three lawyers who volunteered to defend her for ‘free.’

It can be recalled that Atty. Ferdinand Topacio, the legal counsel of Claudine, already warned the actress about the possible charges that she may face if she ever refused to recant her story about her alleged ‘secret relationship’ with late actor Rico Yan.

However, Sabrina refused to apologize, saying that she would face Claudine’s legal actions against her with the help of her three lawyers, Atty. Juman Paa, Atty. Ananias Birad Jr., and Atty. Patrio Seneres Jr.

Sabrina said that her lawyers already told her to stop giving comments for now about the possible cases, but she set the record straight that she would never apologize and insisted that her story about Rico was true.

“Wala pong public apology na magaganap, kung ano man panakot na ikakaso nila, karapatan nila iyon at haharapin nalang namin ng mga abogado ko ang isasampa nila,” the actress said.

“Sinabihan na rin po ako ng abogado ko na ‘wag na mag comment pa,” she added.

They’re also planning to review some videos on social media to find out if they need to charge more people.

Lea Salonga nagsalita tungkol sa pagtanggi niya na magpa-picture sa Filipino fans niya: “I have boundaries”

Singer Lea Salonga made a short statement after her video showing how she refused three Filipino fans who wanted to take a photo with her went viral.

In her tweet, Lea reminded the netizens about her ‘boundaries’ that everyone should not cross.

“Just a reminder… I have boundaries. Do not cross them. Thank you,” said Lea.

In an interview, Lea clarified that she appreciated the love she received from her fans and she’s grateful for them; however, the singer insisted that people should still respect her personal boundaries.

“My personal boundaries and space were violated; what am I supposed to react?” said Lea.

She also reportedly refused the request from the fans for a hug.

“Paano kung may dala ka na palang kutsilyo?” she asked.

“We also have responsibilities to keep ourselves safe,” she added.

It can be recalled that three Filipino fans reportedly entered the dressing room of Lea in New York without permission from the singer.

“Who are you? I’m sorry, I don’t know who you are,” said Lea.

However, the singer then told the Filipino fans to wait outside.

“If you’re not on the guest list we cannot have you back here. So, you’ll have to get to the door because if I allow this now then other people are gonna take advantage,” she explained.

“I’ll see you at the door but don’t go outside. Stay inside the door. Kasi kung wala sa listahan, hindi namin puwede ipasok. For security. Please don’t do that again,” she added.

The fans then reportedly uploaded the video taken during the encounter and criticized Lea.

“If ever naman po na mali kami at wala sa guest list, the fact na andun na kami para lang magpapicture.. pumila at nagbayad ng mahal para sa show, siguro naman po bilang kapwa PILIPINO at mga FANS eh mabigyan ng kahit konting RESPETO at KAHIT HINDI NA YAKAPIN OR I BESO ay mapagbigyan na kahit sandaling magpa PICTURE,” the fan said.

Contestant lang noon, host na ngayon! Netizens praises TVJ’s decision to make Tugue Zombie as E.A.T host

Netizens praised TVJ Productions for not wasting the potential of internet celebrity Tugue Zombie and put him on the list of newest Dabarkads.

It can be recalled that Zombie was only supposed to be a guest for the show ‘Babala, ‘Wag Kayong Ganun!’ on July 13, but his sense of humor and talent as a multilingual captured the attention of the E.A.T hosts that they invited him to become one of the hosts of ‘Sugod Bahay.’

The Nigerian influencer revealed that he could speak several Filipino dialects like Ilokano, Cebuano, and Kapampangan, a rare trait for a foreign national like him.

Zombie quickly captured the heart of E.A.T fans, and he proved to be a competent host during his first appearance on Sugod Bahay.

Influencer Models of Manila lauded TVJ for their decision to hire Zombie.

“Ang husay talaga mag spot ng talent ng TVJ. Nakita nila agad ang potential kay Zombie, nakinig sila sa mga netizens at kinuha kaagad sya!” the influencer said.

“Syempre itong mga unang guesting nya ang magpapakita kung dapat ba sya maging mainstay ng show kaya natutuwa ako kapag nakaka joke sya ng maganda at napapatawa nya sila Bossing!” he added.

Netizens also said the same thing, but some of them believed that Zombie still needs more practice.

“Zombie is trying to find his way. But, eventually, he will feel “at home” and get the hang of it, so to speak. Baguhan pa lang naman kasi sya sa grupo. Mapapakita nya rin ang naturalisa nyang pagka-komedyante,” netizen Jayme said.

“Mejo nagaalangan parin xa sa mga kilos nya,,pero magaling xa at natural lang ung pagpapatawa nya,walang kaeffort effort,” netizen Remy stated.

They’re now excited to see Zombie meeting the ‘OG Dabarkads’ Jose Manalo, who’s still currently busy with other projects.

Cristy Fermin pumanig sa TVJ sa sinampang kaso laban sa TAPE: “Eat Bulaga is Tito, Vic and Joey”

Veteran columnist Cristy Fermin sided with Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon on the copyright infringement complaint they filed against TAPE Incorporated.

On July 12, TVJ and former Eat Bulaga creative director Jenny Ferre filed a complaint against TAPE Inc, asking the court to stop TAPE from using the title and jingle of the longest-running noontime show.

They’re also asking TAPE to pay them P21-M due to the unauthorized airing of replayed episodes of Eat Bulaga for three days.

While TAPE argued that they’re the registrant of Eat Bulaga’s copyright, Cristy believed that TVJ was the rightful owner of the brand.

She even mentioned a statement from one of TAPE’s executives, who reportedly said that TVJ is Eat Bulaga.

“Tito, Vic, and Joey is Eat Bulaga, and Eat Bulaga is Tito, Vic, and Joey,” said Fermin, quoting the said official.

Cristy also said that the issue had already escalated, even if there was still a chance to fix it without the TVJ leaving Eat Bulaga.

It was public knowledge that Joey invented the title ‘Eat Bulaga’ while Vic wrote the jingle of the noontime show.

As of writing, TAPE has yet to give an official statement on the case filed against them by TVJ.

Cristy Fermin reveals that Rico Yan’s family didn’t let Claudine Barretto go near the late actor’s casket: ‘Hindi siya pinalalapit’

Veteran columnist Cristy Fermin confirmed the long-time rumor about the decision of late actor Rico Yan’s family not to let Claudine Barretto peek at the coffin of her ex-boyfriend.

During her online show “Showbiz Now Na,” Cristy revealed that Yan’s family didn’t allow Claudine to go near Rico’s casket during his wake and only asked the veteran columnist to help her talk to the late actor.

“Noong nakaburol si Rico Yan sa De La Salle Greenhills, hindi rin pinalalapit si Claudine noon ng pamilya ni Rico Yan eh. Bawal siyang sumilip doon sa kabaong,” said Cristy.

“Ang nangyari noon para lamang makausap ni Claudine si Rico, nakiusap siya sakin, ‘Nay pwede po ba ‘yung telepono niyo ay pakitapat niyo sa tenga ni Rico sa loob ng kabaong.

“Alam mo matagal kong tiniis ‘yun, matagal na panahon ‘yon, talagang habang nagsasalita siya nakikinig ako at humahagulgol siya. ‘I love you so much, I’m sorry’ itinatapat ko ‘yun sa tenga ni Rico Yan habang nasa kabaong,”

According to Cristy, Claudine received criticism from the public, who blamed her for what happened to Rico.

However, Claudine kept her silence and didn’t respond to criticism from the public.

That’s why Cristy was not happy with the claims made by Sabrina.

“Gaano kakapal ang mukha ng isang tao na kayang mag-imbento tungkol sa isang pumanaw na hindi na kayang idepensa ang sarili,” said Cristy.

There were reports that Claudine was already dating Raymart Santiago before Rico’s passing.

 

Andrea Brillantes, ibinuking si Ricci Rivero: “Hindi nagpapa-laundry nang isang taon”

Actress Andrea Brillantes spilled something about her ex-boyfriend Ricci Rivero.

In an interview with Vice Ganda, Andrea shared her personal experience while in the process of moving on from her well-publicized relationship with the basketball player.

According to her, she’s convincing herself if it’s really worth thinking of someone who was not washing his used clothes for a year.

“Gusto ko lang sabihin minsan, kung hirap ka mag-move on, kailangan mo talaga isipin ‘yung mga bagay na, ‘Talaga ba iiyakan ko ‘yung lalakeng hindi nagpapa-laundy nang isang taon?” Andrea said.

Andrea also said that she had already experienced many things in life, and those happenings made her easier to move forward.

“There’s so much more to this life than just one boy,” said Andrea.

She also shared that she’s a ‘date to marry’ type of girl because of being romantic.

The actress also claimed that she gave many things to Ricci as a gift, but she refused to take it back.

“Kapag kinuha ko lahat ng binigay ko sa kanya, wala na siyang gamit sa condo niya,” she said.

She estimated that the gifts that Ricci received from her already worth millions of pesos.

As of writing, Ricci has yet to give a response to Andrea’s statement.

Sabrina M refuses to make a public apology for her story about Rico Yan: ‘Haharapin ko po ang isasampa nilang kaso’

Actress Sabrina M refused to publicly apologize for her story about her alleged ‘secret relationship’ with the late actor Rico Yan.

It can be recalled that the legal counsel of Rico’s ex-girlfriend, Claudine Barretto, already urged Sabrina to publish a public apology, or else she would face legal action.

“Pinalalabas po kasi ni Sabrina M na si Rico Yan ay two-timer at alam naman daw ni Claudine, kung alam ito ni Claudine ay napakababa naman ng moralidad ni Claudine na pumapayag siya na dalawa sila sa buhay ni Rico Yan?” Claudine’s legal counsel Atty. Ferdinand Topacio said.

“Mag-apologize ka na lang Sabrina M since iisang mundo lang ginagalawan natin at ‘wag naman tayong gumamit ng taong wala na rito sa mundo hindi niya maipagtanggol ang sarili niya dahil wala na siya,” he added.

However, in a statement, Sabrina said that she’s not planning to make a public apology as her lawyer’s advice.

She stood by her story and insisted that her relationship with Rico was real.

“Hindi po ako magpa-public apology according to my lawyers po, kasi alam ko naman po ang katotohanan po.” said Sabrina.

“Wala pong public apology na magaganap. Kung anumang panakot na ikakaso nila, karapatan nila ‘yun at haharapin na lang namin ng mga abogado ko ang isasampa nila.

“Sinabihan na rin po ako ng abogado ko na ‘wag nang mag-comment pa. Nag-review na rin kami ng videos sa YouTube para alamin din kung sino ang puwede naming kasuhan,” she also said.

As of writing, Claudine’s camp has yet to give a response to Sabrina’s comment.
