Popular Filipino restaurant receive complaints after customer spots insects in their meal

A Filipino restaurant received a complaint from a customer after they discovered insects in the meal they ordered.

The said restaurant in Pasay has been called out by netizen Shannel Caravana, asking why the said establishment disregarded the cleanliness of the food they were serving.

In the photos posted by Caravana, it showed that the dish where the insects were found was almost eaten already by her family members.

She even showed that they spend P4,115 at the said restaurant only to be served dirty food.

“Ang na-served samin na food may 2 ipis sa ulam (lengua) tapos isa sa KANIN. They dont check before they serve!!!KAHIT KILALANG RESTAURANT MADUMI PARIN!!!” she said.

Caravana personally complained to the management but they refused to give an official report to the incident.

The restaurant explained that they’re currently renovating the establishment.

“Ayaw magbgay incident report. Yan daw tlga problema nila tlaga kaya pinaparenovate nila sabi ko bkit p kayo ng ooperate?” she said.

She even called the attention of the Pasay City LGU to investigate the said restaurant on how they’re preparing their food.

The post of Caranava has hundreds of shares already as of writing.

Some friends of the netizen also expressed their disappointment with the restaurant.

“Nakakainis talga ung ganyan no? parang hndi na nila chinecheck ung iseserved nila, or parang wala silang paki sa tao na kakain, sana tindahan nalang sila ng sapatos,” netizen Daren said.

“First and foremost —– restaurant nasa food industry and dapat alam nila ang protocol. Nagbabayad ka ng maayos pero iseserved sayo may ipis? So dapat pala ngaun bago ka kumain check mo muna lahat ng inorder. Paano yung mga customer na nagtitiwala malinis ang iseserved na food tapos after ganyan makikita? Hindi na siguro sila ipopost kung nahandle nila ng maayos yung situation.” netizen Thetet remarked.

Cristy Fermin reveals Vice Ganda’s ‘bad breath’ problems: “Hininga mo raw ay amoy-imburnal”

Cristy Fermin revealed the alleged hygiene problem of comedian Vice Ganda in her online show ‘Showbiz Now Na’.

In the said episode, Fermin said that she received some information from her source that they couldn’t withstand the smell coming from the mouth of the popular comedian.

The smell could be compared, according to Fermin to a decomposing mouse and a sewer.

Fermin said that it was her response to Vice after the latter called them  ‘chismosong chaka’

“Napakalapit sa kanya na nagkuwento sa akin, tutal din lang tinatawag mo kaming tatlo na mga chismosong chaka ‘di ba? Okay, hindi ka namin papatulan pero may kukuwento kami. Hindi mo kami mapipigil. Mga taong malapit sa’yo ang nagsasabi na ang hininga mo raw ay amoy-imburnal,” Fermin said.

“Ang sabi niya, ‘Ang lakas-lakas ng loob niya na mamintas. Diyusko! Kung alam n’yo lang, ang tindi ng amoy ng hininga niyan. Parang bulok na daga. Huwag kang mamimintas ng kapwa mo kung may maibabalik din sa iyong resibo,” she added.

It can be recalled that last year, Vice took her dental health to the next level by having a procedure worth P500,000 to fix her teeth.

So some fans of Vice couldn’t believe what Cristy said because the comedian took her dental health seriously.

As of writing, Vice has yet to give a response to the accusations of Cristy.

“During Wowowee days, nilalapit niya sa akin ang isang talent niya na tulungan, sa backstage. ‘May concert sa Laffline, tulungan mo.’ Palalabasin ko siya. Ngayon ho sikat na sikat na siya sa isang noontime show.” ani Revillame.

“Ilang beses siya nasa likod ng Wowowee para mag-promote. Hawak niya dati ‘yon, nawala rin sa kanya ‘yon. Siya ba paniniwalaan niyo o ako? Ano ba nagawa niyan sa ating mga kababayan? Nagpunta ba yan sa mga bagyo?” dagdag pa niya.

Agad namang nahulaan ng mga netizens na si Vice ang binabanggit ni Revillame dahil lumabas ang komedyante sa show ng host na Wowowee noong 2009.

Maliban pa kay Vice ay marami naring mga artista ang sumikat dahil sa tulong ng mga show ni Revillame.

Sa ngayon ay wala pang sagot si Vice na ngayon ay halos maipapantay na ang kasikatan kay Revillame.

 

Moira dela Torre to receive polvoron with dates in exchange of the ‘Danggit’ she gave to an OFW

Moira Dela Torre went viral again on social media after she fulfilled the ‘Pasabuy’ request of an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) fan in Qatar.

‘Pasabuy’ culture is already familiar to Filipinos working overseas when some of their colleagues decided to have a temporary vacation to the Philippines and still planning to return to work.

The fan ‘Boy ulam Lutong Bahay’ jokingly asked Moira who announced her planned concert in Qatar back then to buy danggit for him as the said dried goods were not common in Qatar.

Moira accepted the request of the fan on February 12, the singer personally gave the goods to the fan.

The netizen couldn’t hide his happiness after his request has been fulfilled by Moira itself.

“Binyagan ko na to idol Moira Dela Torre, tutal 1am nadin agahan nato! Maraming salamat po talaga! Cravings satisfied,” the netizen said.

The OFW also decided to return the kindness of Moira and prepared a special polvoron with dates for the singer.

“Sana po magustuhan nyo Moira Dela Torre special pulboron date fillings. Sinsarap ng fillings na Makita at mapanood ka,” he said.

 

Some netizens praised Moira for being sweet to her fans and some even joked that they’re planning to do the same to the actress.

“Masarap sa pakiramdam yan na nabigyan ng pansin ung comment mo tapos natupad pa,” netizen Anne said.

“Ito ang tunay na pilipino kahit gano kapa kasikat kapag may nag request sayo tutuparin mo,” netizen Vica remarked.

 

Cristy Fermin, sinabing maaring mawalan ng tiwala ang tao kay Willie Revillame kahit mamigay pa ito ng tulong

Veteran columnist Cristy Fermin believed that it may become difficult for television host Willie Revillame to recover his image after his controversial statement against the people he helped in the past.

On February 7, Revillame used his own show to respond to the criticisms he received from the people who received help from him.

“Hindi na ako matatakot sa inyong lahat, laban na ito kung laban. Masyado niyo na akong inaapi. Tirahin niyo ako minu-minuto, I don’t care dahil kayo ang may utang na loob sa akin, hindi ako.” Revillame said.

Several friends of Revillame, including Fermin and Ogie Diaz, responded to the television host.

While Fermin already accepted their apology to Revillame, she said that the host still needs to do more to bring back his reputation to the public.

According to the columnist, some people may started to doubt the sincerity of Revillame when helping others.

“Dahil doon, iniisip tuloy ng mga kababayan natin ngayon na ‘yung pagpapakitang gilas niya, yung papunta-punta niya sa lugar na may kalamidad, ‘yung pagbibigay niya ng one million sa ganito, 5 million sa ganyan, hindi pala ‘yan bukal sa kaooban. Pwede palang isumbat din niya,” she said.

“I forgive but I remember names… Nakaktakot ang mga taong nanunumbat,” she added.

It can be recalled that Revillame only mentioned Fermin in his public apology.

Fermin urged Revillame to humble himself and also apologize to the other people he mentioned including Diaz and Gab Valenciano.

The television host has yet to give a response to Fermin’s request.

Hati ang yaman? Maggie Wilson shows proof that there’s no pre-nup agreement between her and Victor Consunji

Maggie Wilson posted evidence to prove that no prenuptial agreement happened between her and her former partner Victor Consunji.

It can be recalled that the billionaire former partner of Wilson filed multiple charges against the model for allegedly having a relationship outside of their marriage.

In a public statement, Consunji claimed that they’re now planning to enforce the prenuptial agreement between him and Wilson to end the alleged plans of the model to gain financially from their issue.

At first, the businessman said he was ready to settle their differences, but Wilson’s post against Rachel Carrasco left him no choice.

Carrasco was the rumored girlfriend of Consunji, whom Wilson mentioned several times in her post.

“In fact, her disgraceful actions are the specific reasons I have resolved to enforce the existing Prenuptial Agreement, strictly and without further consideration. ” Consunji said.

Photo from Victor Consunji’s Camp

However, a photo posted by Wilson showed a document that there was no prenuptial agreement happened between the two.

The document was released by the Municipality of Bacacay, where the two get married.

She even asked Consunji if her right to have a share in her wealth of Consunji was the reason why the businessman wanted her to be put behind bars.

Prenuptial agreements are contracts that are written and signed by couples before the wedding to decide what would happen to their properties if ever they decided to separate in the future.

Without this agreement, all properties, assets, and finances of the couple become a conjugal property and they were legally required to divide it according to the law if they decide to end their relationship.

In her Facebook post, Balabagan thanked the Lord for saving her during the challenges she faced.

Balabagan became a singer for a short time. However, her career quickly ended after becoming pregnant.

She revealed in an interview that she had a secret relationship with journalist Arnold Clavio when she was 17, resulting in one child.

The revelation of Balabagan gained the attention of the whole country and some netizens criticized Clavio for what he did to the former OFW.

Nakaligtas sa arabo pero Hindi Kay Arnold Clavio,” one netizen said.

Former Wowowee Dancer RR Enriquez calls Raffy Tulfo show as a venue to ‘humiliate’ people: “Hindi responsibilidad ng isang tao na sumagot kay Tulfo!”

A former dancer of ‘Wowowee’ expressed her support to actress Janella Salvador who was featured in the popular radio and internet show ‘Raffy Tulfo in Action’ after her former production assistant complained about her unpaid salary.

RR Enriquez on her Instagram post also took a swipe against the show of Mr. Raffy Tulfo saying that people should not feel responsible for answering the complaints they received from the radio program.

The former dancer also pointed out that there were people who got humiliated in every complainant being helped by Tulfo.

“It’s a show for helping and humilliating a person!!! Dahil sa kabila ng pagtulong ng isang tao, meron naman isang tao na, nahuhumilliate (nabubully sa socmed). Mali man ng isang tao yan, hindi kailangan iinvolve ang media para lang malaman at pagpyestahan at pagtawanan ng buong mundo yung taong nakagawa ng mali,” she said.

“Kahit ano pang mali ng tao hindi nya deserve to be put in that show,” she added.

According to her, no one deserved to be featured in Tulfo’s show despite the gravity of their offenses.

“Let’s say ofcourse some people deserved to be put in that show, kasi may mga abusado talaga pero again sa aking paniniwala, mali man sila hindi nila deserve to be in that show para mahumilliate,” she stated

“May mga taong they want to solve a problem na hindi involve ang camera. Privacy ang tawag dun,” she added.
