A former member of the ‘That’s My Bae’ dance group had no choice anymore but to use social media to find someone who could reconnect him to GMA Network.

In his Facebook post, Kim-Michael Last asked his followers if they could help them find someone working at the GMA account department as he wanted to get his unpaid talent fee for two years.

However, he clarified that he didn’t need the money and his only purpose was to adhere to his tax obligations in the United Kingdom.

“Sino may kilala sa GMA accounting department? Meron akong TF from 2 years and last year na hindi pa binabayaran,” he said.

“Its not about the money, its about me living in the UK and having to adhere to tax laws lol. Salamat sa help!” he added.

Kim became a contestant in Eat Bulaga’s ‘That’s My Bae’ and also became a member of a dance group consisting of former contestants of the said segment.

He also became part of Sunday Pinasaya and the morning series Trops.

As of writing, GMA Network has yet to give their response to Kim’s request.

The two independent contractors of GMA Network, Jojo Nones and Richard Cruz, finally faced lawmakers during their hearing of the complaint made by Sparkle artist Sandro Muhlach.

It can be recalled that Muhlach claimed that Nones and Cruz took advantage of him after the 2024 GMA Gala after he was invited to the room occupied by the two independent contractors.

However, during the hearing, Nones and Cruz repeatedly denied the allegations against them, saying that they were judged quickly by the public without even waiting for the court’s decision.

“Sa pagkakataong ito, sa harap ninyong lahat, mariin pong itinatanggi namin ang lahat ng mapanirang akusasyon na ito laban sa amin,” said Cruz.

“Kami po ay hindi executives ng GMA Network, tulad ng lumalabas. Taliwas sa sinasabi online, wala po kaming kapangyarihan o impluwensiya sa network, lalung-lalo na sa mga artista nito,” he added.

He also insisted that throughout his thirty-year career, he never received any complaint from other talents except from Muhlach.

They urged the public to stop judging them and wait for the facts to be revealed.

“Kaya po naming patunayan sa piskalya o anumang korte na wala kaming kasalanan. Hintayin lang po sana natin ang proseso, ang due process,” they said.

“Pero habang hinihintay po yan, humihiling po kami sa sambayanan na huwag niyo muna po kaming husgahan, ituring na parang mga convicted criminals,”

Comedy Queen Ai-Ai delas Alas gave her opinion about the inclusion of Chloe San Jose at the press conference held for two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo.

It can be recalled that Chloe went viral on social media after she accompanied her boyfriend during the press conference.

Ai-Ai described Chloe’s acts as ‘off’ as the event was not about her.

“Kasi napanuod ko yung ano parang interview. Parang na off ako. Kasi si girly habang iniinterview si Carlos yung bata naka anu, nakasandal dito yung baba nung ano ni girl. Buti nalang bilogan si ate girl, kasi kung di ako yun naku wala patªy sabog yung balikat ni baby boy, buti nalang pabilog siya hindi patulis,” said Ai-Ai.

“Sana lang may mag guide kay baby boy, kasi syempre Olympian yung ating baby boy dapat respetohin naman natin,” she added.

Ai-Ai also gave Chloe some advice.

“Ate girl dapat pag di ka naman kasama sa INTERVIEW Dito ka nalang sa side by side ng ano ng darling mo. Kasi syempre Olympian yan, siya yung iniinterview. Dapat di kana sumasali ng kahit kunti dun sa eksena,” 

It can be recalled that Chloe was accused of trying to get the spotlight away from her boyfriend.

However, Chloe denied it, saying that she was making efforts to avoid being interviewed by the media.

Actor Mon Confiado had formally filed a complaint against a content creator who used him as a subject of a copypasta/meme.

In his Facebook post, Mon addressed the content creator identified as ‘Jeff Jacinto’ a.k.a ILEIAD, saying that the latter shouldn’t use other people in his harmful post.

He also showed a photo of him while at the NBI office.

“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.

The actor also said he was a private person and had never been involved in any issue throughout his career in show business.

Mon also argued that not everyone would identify Jacinto’s post as a joke.

“Ang problema… kahit ito ay isang joke o “meme” lamang, hindi pamilyar ang lahat ng tao dito at ito ay ipinost mo sa “Facebook”. At alam mo naman ang mga tao ay napakadaling maniwala sa mga ganyang posts. Siyempre ang ilan dyan ay maniniwala at ire-repost agad dahil katulad mo ay gusto lang din makakuha ng mga likes kahit may masagasaan. Ako ay may mga ginagawang pelikula, may mga endorsements at may on-going na transaction para maging “brand ambassador” ng isang produkto. Paano kung dahil sa maling pagkakaintindi sa joke mo ay maapektuhan ang aking mga trabaho? Dapat ba ay tumahimik lang ako? Dapat ba ako pa ang mag adjust at pabayaan ko na lang at huwag na ako mag react?” he said.

Instead of admitting his mistakes, Jacinto was allegedly unapologetic about what he posted, according to Mon.

“Mr. Jeff Jacinto, uulitin ko, ako ay nananahimik at ginulo mo. Pero nung nag comment ako sa post mo at sa messenger mo, sinabihan mo pa ako ng “is this a threat”? Hindi mo pa din ito tinanggal hanggang kinabukasan ng gabi. Oo. Nagpublic apology ka kunwari later on pero sarcastic at hindi sincere. At wala ni katiting na pagsisisi at proud ka pa sa ginawa mo. At ginagawa niyo pa akong katatawanan ng mga followers mo. At ngayon ikaw na ang biktima at ako na ang masama,” Mon stated.

The so-called ‘Nation’s Girl Group’ BINI was set to hold their biggest concert at the Araneta Coliseum on November 16 & 17, 2024.

ABS-CBN announced the two-day concert on social media, but not everyone was impressed by the price of tickets set by the organizers.

According to the promotional materials provided by ABS-CBN, the ticket of ‘Grand BINIverse’ would cost P1,387 to P11,195.

People who bought VIP and Patron also had the chance to access the sound check for additional price of P1,387.

However, some netizens questioned the pricing of the tickets, saying that it was more expensive compared to K-Pop groups.

Here are some comments from the netizens:

“You what I hate? Halos malapit na ‘yung presyo ng blackpink pero wala namang involved na super malaking gastos sa logistics dito kasi sa QC lang yung ABS-CBN at ‘yung con. anuna teh?” 

“Funny kasi nasa around 8k lang usually ‘yung mga concert ng kpop idols sa korea… I don’t wanna compare pero ano ba kasi basis nila sa pricing dito,”

“For a ppop group na supposedly pang masa and considering most of your fans are students? These prices are a joke feeling kpop company kayo jan? Ayusin niyo muna production and mga low quality merch niyo. Grabe kayo manggatas sa fans, you never considered them lol,” 

ABS-CBN has yet to respond to the complaints made by BINI fans.

Social media personality and former dancer of Wowowee, RR Enriquez, received praise from the netizens after she gave her opinion on the feud between two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo and his mother, Angelica Yulo.

In her social media post, RR said she also experienced the same struggles as Carlos, as they were breadwinners.

According to her, one of the common issues involving breadwinner was having disagreements with their parents about money.

“May mga moment na gusto mo talikuran na lang sila dahil feeling mo puro pera lang ang habol sayo.” ani RR. “Pero kapag nahimasmasan ka, mas mananaig pa din yung alam mo na kaya ka nagsikap sa buhay ay para mabigyan sila ng maayos na buhay at maiparanas sa kanila yung sarap ng buhay na nararanasan mo din,” said RR.

“I hope kapag humupa na ang tampo sa isat isa at sila ay magkapatawaran. Sa daming perang nareceive ni Caloy ngayon, maiparanas nya pa din ulit yung katas ng pagiging gold medalist nya. Bilhan nya ng bahay, itravel nya out of the country. Ipag shopping nya ang pamilya nya. Kasi napakasarap talaga sa pakiramdam ng makapag share ng blessings sa pamilya mo,” she added.

She also gave her opinion about the feud between Carlos’ girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, and Mrs. Yulo.

“Para naman dun sa rival ng Mom and gf. Yes it’s so easy to judge someone based on their appearance or sa mga sinusoot nila. I salute this guy for setting boundaries sa relationship nya and sa parents nya. Minsan talaga hindi maiwasan ang Momster in law. If they don’t like each other it’s ok. But hindi naman porket ayaw sayo ng magulang ng jowa mo ay hindi ka na mag i effort to win her heart. Mas gusto ko pa din na ang partner ko ay ang magulang ko kahit hindi nila gusto ang isat isa,” she added.

It can be recalled that Chloe was being blamed by Carlos’ family as the one who started all the problems.

Australian influencer Chloe San Jose answered a netizen who accused her of stealing the spotlight from her boyfriend, Carlos Yulo, during a press conference held for the two-time Olympic gold medalist.

In his post, the netizen said that Chloe was trying to seek attention by always being with Carlos, even in an event with whom she doesn’t have any business.

“It seems the tides are slowly starting to work against you. Carlos will always be loved by all Filipinos. No one can ever take that away from him. Not even you. But your endearment to a number of people because of being there for Carlos is starting to rub off already.” the netizen said.

Why? Because you really love attention and clout. It sometimes reeks of desperation for affirmation,” he added.

However, Chloe insisted she would have been accepted all the the interview request made by the press if she really wanted to take all the attention.

“People would really just say anything to prove a point even if they don’t know anything about the situation and only know what we’ve put out on socmed. No one even really cared about our relationship prior to Caloy’s winning moment, so why care now? Oh kasi may issue and everyone wants to make sawsaw?” she wrote.

“If you want to see Caloy and Caloy only, why are you on my page? Go ahead to Caloy’s page to feel better. All love,” she added.
