Cristy Fermin revealed some of the current issues faced by former Sen. Manny Pacquiao’s wife, Jinkee.

In her online show ‘Showbiz Now Na!’ Cristy said that most of the issues being thrown against Jinkee were about her alleged financial status.

It can be recalled that former Sen. Manny had already retired from boxing, their primary source of income, and also lost the costly presidential election in 2022.

One of the issues mentioned by Cristy was the alleged debts of Jinkee to a specific jewelry shop.

“Baon daw po sa utang sa isang jewelry shop si Jinkee Pacquiao… Ang balita, daang-daang milyon daw po ang utang ni Miss Jinkee Pacquiao dito sa tindahan na ito ng mga alahas.” Cristy said.

One of the co-hosts Cristy said that it’s possible that the shops trusted Jinkee so much because of her wealth, and some of them allowed the boxing icon’s wife to get as many items as she wanted.

Aside from the alleged debts, there’s also a billionaire allegedly having problems with the Pacquiao family.

“Tapos, meron daw naghahabol kay Senator Manny Pacquiao na isang bilyonaryo na nagbigay ng isang earnest money sa binibenta nilang bahay sa Forbes park. At nang magkatuluyan daw ang pagbebenta ni Manny at ni Jinkee, sa ibang tao [ibinenta]” she revealed.

“Kinukuha na daw ngayon ng billionaire ‘yung 500 million pesos na ipinauna niya pero hindi na maibalik. Ito ngayon ang pinagtatalunan, maibabalik pa ba o hindi pa.” she added.

Meanwhile, the veteran columnist was not convinced there was a truth about the rumored separation between Jinkee and Manny.

According to Cristy, Jinkee was already there when Manny was still a poor man, and she believed that money would never become a reason for them to get separated.

As of writing, Jinkee has yet to give a response to the claims of Cristy.

Maalala na biglang nag viral sa social media ang isang lumang news clip kung saan makikita ang dating aktor na si John Regala na nasa magandang kondisyon pa habang dinuduro duro ang isang taxi driver na kanyang nakaalitan.

Sa video ay makikitang gigil na gigil si Regala sa taxi driver na nakilala bilang Rafael Sabuhala at hindi ito nag papa awat kahit na nasa harap na sila ng mga otoridad.

Inakusahan pa ni Regala ang taxi driver na pineperahan lamang siya kaya’t sinabi nitong hindi siya papayag ng hindi natitikman ng kanyang kaalitan ang kamao niya.

Pero ayon sa mga saksi ay naupakan na ni Regala ang taxi driver sa gitna ng kalsada bago pa dumating ang mga otoridad.

“Sige magdemanda siya, hihingi siya ng pera sakin? Bibigyan ko siya ng pera pero bubugb0gin ko muna siya!” ani Regala.

Nangyari ang insidente noong 2008, ilang taon bago makuha ni Regala ang kanyang best supporting actor award sa kanyang pagganap sa Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story.

Wala ng naging update sa nasabing kaso, pero kahapon lamang ay nagbigay ng komento ang anak diumano ng taxi driver tungkol sa nangyayari ngayong isyu kay Regala.

Ipinakita ng aktor na si Chuckie Dreyfus, na isa rin ngayon sa mga nakaka alitan ni Regala ang comment ni Znhav Smiley Orendain na nagpakilalang anak ni Sabuhala.

Ayon sa kanya, nanalo ang kanyang ama sa kaso laban kay Regala ngunit wala itong nakuha ni singko sa dating artista.

Ito rin diumano ang pinakamasakit na nangyari sa kanilang pamilya dahil napakabait daw ng kanyang ama at hindi ito nararapat na maltratuhin.

“It was the most painful feeling to see your father being treated bad which he doesn’t deserve and I can’t do anything that time because I’m working overseas,” ani Orendain.

“My dad won the case and nhe never gets any single cents from Mr. Regala,” dagdag pa niya.

Ayon kay Orendain ay nasa mabuting kondisyon ang kanyang ama at wala itong sakit na iniinda.

Matatandaan na nahati bigla ang opinyon ng publiko kay Regala matapos itong magkaroon ng alitan sa mga artistang tumulong sa kanya noong siya’y nakitang nasa masama ng kondisyon ilang linggo na ang nakakaraan.

Sinabi ni Regala na wala siyang napakinabangan sa mga donasyon na ibinigay sa kanya kahit na nakapagpagamot ito sa isang tanyag na ospital at ngayo’y nasa mabuting kalagayan na.

The lawyer of a man who claimed that he was a trustee of the ‘gold bars’ left by former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. urged President Bongbong Marcos Jr. to open the deposits where the alleged wealth of their family has stored.

In an interview with The Daily Tribune, Atty. Efren Bugaring said that Marcos Jr. should allow them to withdraw the said gold bars which according to them, were stored in different banks in Southeast Asia.

The value of the alleged gold bars was so enormous that the trustee was ready to pay the heir of the Sultanate of Sulu to settle the $14.9-B Sabah award.

It can be recalled that a French Court ordered Malaysia to pay $14.9-B to the family members of the Sultanate of Sulu for allegedly not following the agreement between the Malaysian Government and Sultan Jamal Al Alam in 1876 to lease Sabah in exchange of annual payments.

However, Atty. Bugarin said that this problem may get a quick solution if Marcos Jr. would open the said gold deposit accounts.

“If President Marcos Jr. is intelligent enough he would initiate this effort to open the gold deposits of the trustee,” the lawyer said.

Aside from paying the heir of the Sultanate, the trustee was also willing to use the remaining gold bars to bring prosperity to the country.

“The trustee wants to monetize the gold to help spur economic growth in the country,”

The gold bars allegedly left by Marcos Sr. was considered as one of the most popular urban myths in the country.

According to the story, the Tallano family paid 192,000 tons of gold to Marcos.

One of the known claimants of Marcos gold was KING TIBURCIO VILLAMOR MARCOS TALLANO TAGEAN IV who claimed that he’s the brother of the current president.

However, according to the World Gold Council, there were only 201,296 tons of gold that was mined in history.

Until today, the alleged gold of Marcos was being used to lure people to pay for ‘certificates’ promising that they will receive a part of the former President’s wealth ‘someday’.

An artist couldn’t hide her happiness after her ‘Mini Padre Salvi’ keychain dolls were noticed by Juancho Trivino himself.

Juancho became popularly known for bringing life to Jose Rizal’s fictional novel character Padre Salve in the GMA television drama ‘Maria Clara and Ibarra’ which was based on Noli Me Tángere.

According to Regine Opulencia Rosca who owns Cielowish Handcrafts, she didn’t expect that Juancho would express interest in her craft and even be willing to buy hundreds of it.

In a photo shared by Rosca, it can be seen that Juancho asked if he could buy 150-200 pieces of Mini Padre Salvi keychain dolls.

She also shared her conversation with Juancho, saying that she was very thankful that her craft was being appreciated.

Aside from Juancho, several influencers including Donnalyn Bartolome also noticed the crafts of Rosca.

As of writing the photo posted by Rosca already reached thousands of shares in different social media platforms.

Internet celebrity and confessed scammer Xian Gaza gave his thoughts about the current issue faced by actor Luis Manzano after he became involved in an alleged scam worth P100-M.

It can be recalled that several investors of Flex Fuel Corporation claimed that the said company didn’t give them the profit they promised to them.

Luis also received charges because the company labeled him as their ‘Chairman/Owner.’

The complainants also said they invested millions of pesos because they thought they were really doing business with the actor.

However, Luis clarified that he was no longer part of the said company.

The actor also said that Ildefonso “Bong” Medel Jr. was managing the business.

According to Xian, there’s a possibility that Luis trusted Medel Jr., who became the ‘best man’ in the wedding of the actor and Jessy Mendiola.

“Nag-propose ng business idea si best man. Nasilaw ang Luis sa napakagandang projection. Sumang-ayon siya na maging front ng kumpanya. Si best man ang bahala sa buong operations and management.” Xian said.

“Itinayo ni best man ang mga negosyo. Yung actual income ay sobrang layo sa kanyang ipinangakong projection. Nadismaya ang mga investors. Binabawi ang kanilang mga kapital. Hindi maibalik ni best man dahil nagamit na nga sa mga negosyo. Ngayon, scammer na si best man.” he added.

Xian believed that some investors were calling it a ‘scam’ because the company didn’t reach its promised target profit.

“Ganyan naman talaga sa Pilipinas. Kapag successful yung negosyo mo, respetado ka ng lahat. Panginoon ka ng lahat. Pero kapag nag-fail yung negosyo mo, scammer ka na bigla.” he said.

The internet celebrity also believed that Luis may held liable because he still became part of the said company.

“Legally speaking, sasabit talaga si Luis kahit ano pa ang gawin niyang paghuhugas-kamay dahil naging parte siya ng kumpanya. Kahit hindi siya nakinabang financially eh naging accessory siya sa pagkuha ng investments.” he stated.

Former member of Its Showtime dance group ‘GirlTrends’ Dawn Change received criticisms on social media after she expressed support to singer Karylle who’s currently a host in the said noontime show.

It can be recalled that several fans of Karylle criticized Vice Ganda for allegedly disrespecting the singer in the middle of the show.

Several celebrities also expressed support for Karylle including Kim Atienza.

“Love you ate @anakarylle You are indeed a very nice person. Probably the nicest person I know in Showbiz. I will always cheer for you.” Dawn said.

Love you ate @anakarylle You are indeed a very nice person. Probably the nicest person I know in Showbiz. I will always cheer for you. ♥️

While several fans of Dawn received the message of the dancer positively, some fans of Vice swarmed her comment section and called her ‘sawsaw’.

Some even mentioned the disappearance of the dancer in Its Showtime and the negative image of Girltrends that became viral because of their unsynchronized dance.

Meanwhile, Vice clarified that Karylle already accepted his apology.

They even appeared joyful to each other one day after the controversial episode and even joked about what happened.

Vice even took a swipe against some celebrities who used the issue to gain engagement on social media.

The talk show of Toni Gonzaga on AllTV reportedly held its last taping after just four months of being aired on national television.

According to the report of Politiko, the so-called ‘most powerful celebrity’ had its last taping day on February 3 and is already set to be replaced by another show.

It was also reported that several television shows including the talk show hosted by Karla Estrada, Mariel Rodriguez Padilla, and Ciara Sotto were also set to go off the air.

Meanwhile, there were also rumors that even the show of one of AllTV’s executives, Willie Revillame was set to end temporarily.

Several reports were saying that there were boycotts happening in the said programs because of the political beliefs of the hosts and also due to the fact that the channel was previously owned by ABS-CBN.

One example was the alleged difficulty of M.O.M.S to find a celebrity to be interviewed.

The said television network was owned by the Villars, one of the most powerful families in the country.

Meanwhile, the executives of AllTV vowed that they’re still going to pay the artists based on their contracts.

The full launch of AllTV last month was also postponed because of the delays in the construction of the permanent studio.

A second-year nursing student has been called a ‘hero’ by the netizens after she was spotted saving a life of a street vendor.

Angyl Faith Ababat, a student at the University of Cebu (UC) would receive a full scholarship grant after her heroic deed that received millions of views online.

Ababat received the scholarship award from the dean of the University’s College of Nursing and also from the president of UC Augusto Go.

The scholarship would shoulder Ababat’s expenses for her preparation for the board examination.

Several nursing groups were also planning to give recognition to Ababat’s deed.

The 21-year-old nurse has gone viral on social media after a CCTV footage showed her stopping the bleeding of a woman’s neck identified as Bernadeta Zamora.

In an interview with Manila Bulletin, Ababat told the netizens to avoid hesitating when someone was in need and they were knowledgeable enough to save them.

“I just want to tell them that it is okay to be scared, it is a normal reaction. But if you are able to help, especially if you are knowledgeable enough, then be a vessel to help and aid those in need,” she said.

A netizen who recorded and uploaded a video of former Commission on Elections commissioner Rowena Guanzon while confronting a tourist in Cadiz City was possibly to face charges.

In an interview, Guanzon believed that the netizen who posted the said video where she can be seen shouting and pointing to a man wanted her to be put in a bad light.

“The video was posted with malice as it did not capture the entire incident. What you saw in the video posted on Facebook is untruthful,” Guanzon said.

According to her, she had no choice but to confront the said man because he was already disturbing the peaceful festival of Dinagsa.

“I told them not to smoke on the sidewalk as someone could get hurt and all of a sudden someone shouted ‘is this your sidewalk,’ bumped my shoulder, and stepped on my left foot that has arthritis. So I got mad and shouted at that person,” she said.

In a Facebook post, Guanzon also shared another reason for the confrontation, claiming that the two people involved in the incident were already behind the bars.

The netizen who uploaded the video identified as Cyn Thia said the man who confronted Guanzon is a relative of her husband.

In her caption, she claimed that Guanzon allegedly used her cane against their relative.

However, Guanzon denied the accusations, saying that her cane was not considered as a weapon.

The netizen also refused to delete the said video despite the statement from Guanzon.

Cyn Thia has yet to give a comment on the possible charges she may face.

Pokwang became one of the top discussions on social media after she revealed more information about her separation from her former husband Lee O’Brian.

It can be recalled that Pokwang said that she felt that Lee didn’t really love her because of the treatment she received from the American actor and didn’t even help her to finance their needs.

In 2022, Pokwang announced her separation from O’Brian but no one really knows the cause of their failed relationship.

Some netizens called what happened to her Pokwang ‘karma’ because of her belief in politics.

Pokwang supported former Vice President Leni Robredo’s candidacy last year and even became critical with the supporters of the latter’s rival, President Bongbong Marcos Jr.

Some supporters of Marcos couldn’t stop themselves from making fun of the unfortunate love story of Pokwang, but the comedian didn’t hesitate to answer back.

“Kaya pala masyadong bitter ngayon. Pinagkaka-abalahan ang makipag away sa mga pro Marcos. Karma ba yan,” a netizen asked Pokwang.

“Hindi po karma ang tawag doon, nilinis ni God ang daanan ko patungo sa tamang tao! Ikaw pag namatayan kaba ng kamag anak mo karma agad?” Pokwang said.

Pokwang also told other single mothers like her not to think that what happened to their failed relationship was a result of karma.

“Hindi karma ang mabiyayaan ka ng mga anak na nagpapasaya at nagpapangiti sayo araw araw at dahilan ng pagsisikap mo sa buhay.” she said.

She also vowed to take care of Malia even if her family was not whole anymore.

“Natapos man ito sa di inaasahang panahon hindi dito hihinto ang pagiging nanay ko sa mga anak ko. at mas lalo kong minahal ang mga biyayang sakin ay binigay ng Panginoon.” she stated.
