Pokwang went viral on social media after her joke captured the attention of some netizens who were following the feud between Carlos Yulo and his family.

In her Instagram story, Pokwang made a joke about someone who’s always following his or her partner athlete.

“Ano ang tawag sa jowa ng athlete na laging naka sunod?” Pokwang asked.

“Edi Athlete’s Foot!” she followed.

Hundreds of netizens couldn’t stop themselves from reacting to Pokwang’s joke.

Some of them laughed at Pokwang’s post, but others also criticized the comedian for trying to interfere with Carlos’ issues.

Kylie Padilla posted cryptic messages on social media amid the issue being faced by her father, Senator Robin Padilla.

In her post, Kylie shared an image with a text, that reads: “Weak men create masculine women,”

In her second post, the actress posted another quote: “No is a full sentence.”

It can be recalled that Padilla was lectured by Attorney Lorna Kapunan about ‘consent’ between husband and wife.

“Halimbawa po, syempre hindi mo maaalis sa mag-asawa na ang paniwala — lalo kami o ako — meron kang sexual rights sa asawa mo eh. So halimbawa, hindi mo naman pinipili eh kung kailan ka in heat. So paano ‘yun kapag ayaw ng asawa mo? Wala pong ibang paraan talaga para maano ‘yung lalaki? So paano yun? Mambababae ka na lang ba? Eh di kasong kaso na naman ‘yun,” Robin said.

“Halimbawa mapilit yung lalaki. Ano yung sa legal na puwede niyang gawin? Puwede bang will you help me na lang? Kapag Tagalog kasi hindi mo masabi baka bastos ang dating. Anong puwedeng gawin na lang ng babae?” he added.

Kapunan responded that a partner still forced by his or her husband to do the deed would be considered illegal.

However, Padilla still tried to insist on his question.

“Siguro naman sasangayon naman sa akin ang mga taumbayan kapag sinabi kong may ibang urge talaga ang mga lalaki talaga. Talagang nandun eh. So paano ‘yun nandyan ang asawa mo to serve you, ayaw niya? So paanong, anong puwede kong sabihin sa kanya? Mahal o babe, ano ba? Please help me in a way,” he stated.

Kapunan then said that it would be better for them to pray, undergo counseling, or just watch Koreanovelas if a partner couldn’t control their urges.

“Kailangan po ng counseling o magdasal na lang po kayo. Manood po kayo [sa] Netflix [o] Korean Telenovela.” she said.

The lawmaker received more criticism after his wife, Mariel Padilla, took a swipe against the critics of her husband, about the fact that she was giving all the consent to him.

Singer and television host Ogie Alcasid admitted that he was not happy when he discovered that his daughter, Leila, decided to live with his boyfriend, Curtis Smith.

During one of the episodes of It’s Showtime, Ogie engaged in a topic raised during the segment, EXpecially For You, about parents who opposed their children to live with their partners.

According to Ogie, he also experienced being left by his daughter, who is his child, to his former wife, Michelle van Eimeren.

However, the singer came to realize that his daughter was no longer a child and that she could now make her own decisions.

“Hanggang sa sinabi ko, ‘Alam n’yo, masama ang loob ko sa inyo na nagawa n’yo yan. Pero gayunpaman, kayo ay nag-a-adulting na, gawin n’yo ‘yan, bahala na kayo sa buhay n’yo,’” he said.

Ogie said that parents could only guide their children and must always be ready to welcome them if they ever make a mistake.

The President of the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines (GAP), Cynthia Carrion, believes that Carlos Yulo’s brother, Karl Eldrew, can also become an Olympic gold medalist.

In an interview, Carrion said that Karl is more ‘daring’ than his older brother, who won two gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

“Karl Eldrew is capable because he’s daring,” she said.

In a past interview, Cynthia also said that Eldrew achieved more than his brother if they’re going to base it on age.

“Eldrew is a very good future, because Eldrew at that age he is now, Eldrew is better than Caloy,” said Cynthia.

“And you give Eldrew a good coach, he’s going to perform, he’s going to be an Olympic Champion,” she added.

Carrion also aimed for Eldrew and Carlos to become part of the national gymnastics team in the next Olympics.

It can be recalled that at the age of 16, Eldrew already won a gold medal at the Asian Gymnastics Championships and won six gold medals last 2023 at the Palarong Pambansa.

Even the two-time Olympic gold medalist was confident that Eldrew would perform well at the next Olympics.

However, before it happens, Carlos may need to fix his issues with his family first.

Eldrew repeatedly appealed to his brother to reconcile with their mother.

An interview with Chloe San Jose, taken last year, has been circulated on social media.

In the said interview, content creator Tiyo Bri interviewed Chloe during her vacation in La Union and asked several ‘rated spg’ questions.

One of the questions was about her preference, asking her if she would prefer a broke man with a big tool or a rich man with a small tool.

“Ano ang mas gusto mo, broke guy na daks o mayaman na juts?” Tiyo Bri asked.

“Mayaman nalang na Juts,” Chloe responded.

After the interview went viral, Tiyo Bri clarified that they only made the said content for fun and even revealed that Carlos was present during that time.

In his statement, Tiyo Bri asked the netizens to stop judging Chloe based on the interview and even praised the couple for being kind.

“Si Carlos Yulo napaka-sport. Isipin mo may mga boyfriend bang ipapa-interview ‘yung girlfriend niya kay Tiyo Bry na hindi ma-i-insecure? Si Carlos hindi, napaka-sport, napaka-open, tawa ng tawa,” said Bri.

He also insisted that Chloe’s answer was right, as no woman would choose a broke guy.

“Walang babae na pipili ng broke na lalaki. Kaya kayong mga lalaki dapat magsikap kayo, at the same time din wag niyo ng gawan ng isyu itong si Chloe dahil napakabait niyang batang ‘yan,” he stated.

The content creator who published a ‘copypaste’ featuring Mon Confiado was now pleading to the actor to withdraw the charges against him.

It can be recalled that content creator Jeff Jacinto, a.k.a Ileiad, was facing charges after Mon successfully traced him.

“Nawa’y maging aral sa iyo ito at sa ating lahat. Na ang paggamit ng pangalan at larawan ng walang pahintulot ay krimen. Na hindi lahat ng jokes ay nakakatawa at hindi lahat ng jokes ay para sa lahat. Dapat sana ang joke ay nakakapagpasaya at hindi nakakasira ng tao,” said Mon.

In an interview with Rappler, Jacinto insisted that the said copypasta was only a joke.

Jacinto also said that he only wanted to “apply 4chan humor to Filipino pop culture,”

The usual subject of the said copypasta were actors with good reputations, and it intended to “prank” the netizens that the said celebrity was rude all along.

Jacinto admitted that he was regretful that he underestimated Mon’s warning.

“I wish I could have just taken it down the moment I saw him in the comments,” said Jacinto.

As of writing, there were no signs for Mon to withdraw the charges he filed against Jacinto.

Veteran journalist Arnold Clavio thanked Carlos Yulo’s occupational therapist, Hazel Calawod, who became a guest on Unang Hirit.

In the said episode, Hazel shared how she helped Carlos to become a two-time Olympic gold medalist by ensuring the well-being of the Filipino athlete.

Carlos’ impersonator, Carlos Yolo, also accompanied Hazel.

After the episode, Hazel also volunteered to give some tips to Arnold, one of the show’s hosts.

It can be recalled that Arnold was currently undergoing therapy after he miraculously survived a hemorrhagic stroke.

His condition made his movement more challenging than before.

The video showed Hazel giving Arnold some tips on how to improve his rehabilitation.

“Thank you @hazel_calawod for the simple tips on how to improve my rehabilitation . At least nahawakan ako ng occupational therapist ni @c_edrielzxs, ang ating two time gold medalist sa 2024 Paris Olympics. Salamat,” he wrote.

However, some netizens noticed that the said brand was being endorsed by Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach.

Pia became Bvlgari’s first ‘Filipina Friend of the House’ of the brand.

Even Director Darryl Yap couldn’t stop talking about the coincidence.

“I’m sure nagkataon lang to at walang kinalaman sa away nila at ng gulo sa dating team ni Heart na ngayon ay na kay Pia,” Yap wrote.

Some netizens believed that Heart’s decision to let his pet dog wear a Bvlgari necklace was not a coincidence.

It can be recalled that there was a rumored beef between Pia and Heart after the beauty queen hired Heart’s former glam team.

There were reports that Heart’s former glam team gave their former boss’ connections and contacts in the fashion industry to Pia, which explained why the beauty queen suddenly became an active member of the elite fashion circle.

However, some of Pia’s fans didn’t believe the rumors as her background as the Miss Universe 2015 would give her instant access to fashion houses.
