Jay Sonza, took a swipe against critics of Daryl Yap: “Bakit kailangan sakyan nila ang tagumpay ng ibang pelikula”

Veteran journalist Jay Sonza couldn’t understand why some filmmakers were trying to use Director Darryl Yap’s name to promote their own movies.

It can be recalled that veteran filmmaker Joel Lamangan and Yap exchanged heated messages against each other while promoting their own martial law films.

Lamangan claimed that Yap was trying to compete with his movie, while the latter urged the legendary director to stop lying to the people.

Sonza gave his thoughts on the said issue, saying that they should stop using the project of others to promote their own.

“Why can’t they promote their own movies by telling people how good their movie is? Why can’t they tell the audience how great their thespians are in the projection of their assigned characters? Bakit kailangan sakyan nila ang tagumpay ng ibang pelikula? Ano? Para mapag-usapan sila, pero nilalangaw pa rin iyong kanilang pelikula sa takilya!” Sonza said.

Netizens also gave their comments on the said issue.

“Dilaw n dilaw. That was how Liberal Party was promoted. Ang pundasyon nilang base s paninira ng katunggali nila. S puntong kahit ibang mga dispensable nilang mga miyembro ay isakripisyo nila para sa sarili nilang kapakanan… e.g. Plaza Miranda bombing. Magtataka p b tayo. Masyadong mapanira yang mga yan. Self centered at self righteous. Sila lang ang may karapatan. Pag ayaw mo s kanila, CANCELLED ka,” netizen Chester commented.

“Kailangan siraan pa ung iba para sumikat..Ang nangyayari tuloy lalo cla lumulubog….Ugali na hindi na nila binago..Patay na ang original na magaling manira..Gusto pa yata na sumunod sa amo na magaling lng manira ng kapwa.” netizen Boyet remarked.

Kakampink lawyer Jesus Falcis gives 1/5 star to ‘Ako Si Ninoy’: “Sayang pera. Mahal ang ticket.”

It seems that even opposition supporters were not impressed by the newest movie of Atty. Vince Tañada titled ‘Ako Si Ninoy’.

In a lengthy review, Kakampink lawyer Jesus Falcis gave 1 out of 5 stars to the said movie about the life of late Sen. Ninoy Aquino Jr.

Falcis urged his followers not to waste their money to watch ‘Ako Si Ninoy’, saying that some of the scenes of the said movie were cringeworthy and illogical.

“It doesn’t have a message. Ninoy Aquino is a hero, yes. But the movie keeps telling that. It doesn’t show it. We already know Ninoy is a hero. But why? I thought it was basic to know that when persuading people, show; don’t tell.” Falcis said.

He also mentioned a scene where Juan Karlos Labajo who was portraying Aquino in the said movie sang his one and only popular song ‘Buwan’.

“The second scene was so bad and cringe. JK Labajos sang to a light bulb!!! TO A LIGHT BULB. Para mapilit yung “sa ilalim ng puting ilaw, sa dilaw na buwan.” the lawyer stated.

Falcis questioned the decision of Tañada to put Ferdinand Marcos Sr. the nemesis of Aquino in the said movie.

“What the film doesn’t understand is that in history, you won’t have a Ninoy Aquino without a Ferdinand Marcos. They are like Batman and Joker. A hero needs a foil. A hero is made, not born. But the movie just wants to keep telling (so boringly and repetitively) that Ninoy is a hero and that he is destined to be a hero.” Falcis said.

As of writing Tañada has yet to give a comment to the said review of Falcis.

John Regala clarifies that he already made peace with Philip Salvador: “MAHAL KO PO SI TITO IPE”

Former action star John Regala finally addressed the issue between him and actor Philip Salvador.

It can be recalled that an old video of Regala criticizing Salvador went viral on social media.

“Ipe, hindi ka magtatagumpay. Hindi ko hahayaang magtagumpay ka. Kaya ito, huling paalala ko sayo, na may kasamang pakiusap. Itigil mo na yang mga plano mo,” said Regala.

“Ang mga plano mo sakin, na sirain ng sirain ang aking pagkatao, pinagbintangan ako ng kung ano ano. Wag, dahil tinitiyak ko sayo Ipe isasama kita sa gusto mong pagdalhan sakin. Tandaan mo yan, pero titiyakin ko sayo na mauuna ka dun,” he added.

However, in a Facebook post, Regala clarified that he’s already on good terms with Salvador.

According to him, he was still healthy in the said video so netizens should not believe that it was taken recently.

“SA MGA KUMAKALAT PO NA VIDEO KO SA YOU TUBE TUNGKOL PO KAY TITO IPE ITO AY MATAGAL NA PO TAPOS NAGKAAYOS NA PO KAMI NI TITO IPE SANA NAMAN PO WAG NA ITONG PALAKIHIN 2012 PA PO ITO VIDEO NA ITO MAKIKITA NYO NAMAN PO NA BATA PA AKO DITO SANA WAG NA PO KAMI PAGAWAYIN NI TITO IPE DAHIL MAHAL KO PO SI TITO IPE,” Regala said.

It can be recalled that even Salvador confirmed that he had a feud with Regala.

However, they didn’t disclose the reason for their issue.

He also confirmed that they already fixed their differences after they became co-stars in Asiong Salonga movie.

“Oo. Hindi ba magkasama naman kami sa Asiong Salonga? “A, wala iyon [isyu], hindi pinapatulan yung ganun. Walang isyu sa amin ni John. John has been a younger brother to me, I love him, I respect him. He’s a very good actor. And I’m happy that he’s back. I’m really happy that he’s back. And producers should give him more projects because he is one of our greatest actors here,” Salvador remarked.

 

Babae na nandaya diumano sa ‘Pinoy Henyo’ muling sumikat matapos mag-Japanese sa kanyang apology video.

It seems that the attention being received by a ‘Pinoy Henyo’ contestant was not yet over one week after she and her partner faced controversy because of alleged cheating.

On the Valentine’s Day episode of the noontime show Eat Bulaga, Lyka Alburo who’s now being called ‘Stomach Girl’ received a tremendous amount of criticism because of allegedly trying to break the rules of the popular game show.

Even Joey de Leon took a swipe against Alburo, saying that cheating removes the fun of the game.

On February 21, Alburo released a bizarre apology video where she spoke in gibberish Nihonggo and even the netizens who knew how to speak the said language couldn’t understand what she was saying.

Several netizens believed that Alburo was only trying to capture the attention of the netizens and chasing clout.

They even questioned the sincerity of Alburo’s apology.

“Is she really saying sorry about that Pinoy Henyo fiasco? So bakit in Japanese (?) siya nagso-sorry? Hindi naman Japanese Henyo yung sinalihan nila na diumano’y nandaya sila ng boyfriend niya. Gusto ba niya talaga mag-sorry or gusto lang niya magpa-kontrobersiyal pa lalo?” netizen @iammadsdn said.

“I learned basic Japanese as an exchange student before. I am no expert, but this is not Japanese. I only understood Kudasai.” netizen @tiezasantos remarked.

“20 yrs na ko sa japan pero do ko ma gets kung ano sinasabi nya. Better ata Mag- aaral ulet ako ng jap. language,” netizen @shisenlove commented.

 

Joel Lamangan, ibinahagi na inatake sa puso at muntikan ng hindi matapos ang ‘Oras de Peligro’: “Kung nagtagal-tagal pa, natuluyan na siguro ako”

Despite his old age, veteran director Joel Lamangan refused to stop making movies especially if it’s about promoting his advocacy.

However, being a restless 70-year-old filmmaker had repercussions on his health.

During the media conference for his latest project ‘Oras de Peligro’ Lamangan shared that he almost passed away while filming the said movie.

According to him, he was rushed to the hospital after suffering from a heart attack and was already advised by his doctors to stop filming for a while.

.

Lamangan refused the advice of his doctors, saying that he wanted to finish ‘Oras de Peligro’ because he believed in the importance of the said movie.

“Inaatake na ko sa puso while doing this and my doctor told me to stop. But I felt I have to finish this, kailangang magawa ko ito. I only went to the hospital for my bypass after I’ve completed the movie.” Lamangan said.

“The doctor said na kung nagtagal-tagal pa, natuluyan na siguro ako. But I’m glad sa natapos kong pelikula and I’m very proud of our movie,” he added.

It can be recalled that Lamangan’s movie was being shown in the theaters together with Director Darryl Yap’s film about Marcos family.

Lamangan criticized Yap several times for allegedly spreading misinformation to improve the image of the Marcoses.

“Ang gusto nilang gawin, pagtakpan ang katotohanan, baguhin ang kasaysayan at sila ang palabasing kawawa. Ang mga Pilipino talaga ang nagpatalsik kay Marcos noon sa Malacanang. Yun ang totoo at dapat, igalang natin ang kasaysayan,” the legendary director said.

Lamangan also said that Yap intended to release their movie on the same date.

 

Arnold Clavio makes a message for Ash Wednesday: “May the ashes inspire us to do good”

Ash Wednesday is one of the most important days in the Philippines as it marks the beginning of the Lenten Season in the Catholic-majority country.

Filipino Catholics attend mass and receive ashes made from the burned palms from the previous year’s Palm Sunday on their foreheads in the sign of the cross.

Lenten Season is a time for Filipinos to reflect and pray while waiting for Easter.

One of the most religious personalities in the country, Arnold Clavio didn’t forget to remind his fans of the purpose of Ash Wednesday.

“Today on Ash Wednesday we begin the season of Lent. May the ashes inspire us to do good whenever we could because our time in this pilgrimage is finite and shall end as God desires.” Clavio said.

“To dust, we shall return. And may the Cross imposed on our heads impose in our hearts the love which God has for us thru His Son Lord Jesus Christ. We are called to embrace our crosses. They are burdens but beautiful burdens.” he added.

It can be recalled that Clavio was a follower of the Catholic faith and almost became a priest before becoming a journalist.

“Highschool palang ako tini-train na ako sa buhay seminaryo, so during that time ‘yun nga ano ako, praying the rosary, attending mass everyday, ‘yun ang naging buhay ko noong high school hanggang sa maging active ako na sakristan,” Clavio narrated.

“Pero after nung highschool na ako, noong nag-apply na ako maging seminarista, na-reject ako,” he added.

Neil Salvacion’s brother refutes the claims of Rabiya Mateo about her ex: “You opted to commit a sin during the pageant!”

The brother of Neil Salvacion broke his silence after Miss Universe Philippines 2020 claimed that she rejected the marriage proposal of her ex to prioritize her career.

It can be recalled that during the interview with Boy Abunda, Rabiya said that she refused to marry Neil who was her partner for 7 years to focus on giving the needs of her family.

Rabiya said: “I think this is the first time na sasabihin ko sa TV, but he proposed to me, and I was so young that time, I wasn’t ready. I have a lot of dreams for my family and during that time he was ready to settle na and feeling niya okay na siya sa buhay. Pero ako I want to aspire to be more. Doon kami nagkaroon ng conflict,”

However, the brother of Neil denied the claims of Rabiya saying that the beauty queen accepted the proposal from her ex.

In the post of Nhel Skie, he claimed that the beauty queen made a ‘sin’ while she was participating in the pageant which became the real reason for their breakup.

The netizen also said that Rabiya was still lucky because her ex-boyfriend decided to kept his silence.

“You never rejected my brother’s proposal. In fact, you accepted it and wore the ring before your pageant started internationally. Something happened along the way and you opted to commit a sin during the pageant and you have to own up to that.” he said.

“You’re lucky na mas gustong manahimik ng kapatid ko kesa patulan ang mga scripted na sagot mo.” he added.

As of writing, Rabiya has yet to give response to the post of Neil’s brother.

Mga larawan diumano ng nobyo ni Rabiya Mateo kasama ang isang negosyante, kalat na kalat sa social media

Veteran columnist Cristy Fermin made a revelation about Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo’s boyfriend Jeric Gonzales.

In her online program ‘Showbiz Now Na!’ Fermin alleged that Gonzales had a relationship with a man in the past who’s a salon owner.

The said issue became more controversial because the said man already had a family.

It can be recalled that several entertainment websites posted photos of a man alleged to be Gonzales together with the said businessman having sweet moments together.

“Wala ng intro intro spill the tea, oh dito muna tayo guys, stop muna kay Skusta kasi may JERIC GONZALES pa. yung kilala niyong JERIC GONZALES TWO TIMER naman pala. Actually daig pa nga TWO TIMER sa sobrang daming pinag sabay sabay eh. Paano mo nagagawang lokohin ang isang Rabiya?” one entertainment site wrote.

Fermin discussed the said issue and even claimed that she already witnessed the relationship of Gonzales with other men.

“Mas gugustuhin ko na na siya ay magalit sa akin dahil hindi ko pinaniniwalaan ang kasinungalinan niya,” Fermin said.

She also said that even the executives of Gonzales’ network GMA expressed concern over the activities of the actor.

“Tapatin na natin. Wala namang ibang isyung kinakapit dito kay Jeric kundi ‘tong pamamakla. Ang pinakahuli, ‘yung lumabas pa kasing mga litrato. Kaya dapat lang siyang ipatawag, labhan at banlawan. Totoo ‘yan,” the veteran columnist statement.

Fermin understood why GMA expressed concern over the circulation of photos because they wanted to preserve the image of Gonzales.

“’Yang kay Jeric, lagi na lang siyang nakakaladkad sa isyu ng pamamakla. Ginagastusan ka ng network. Ginagawa nila ang lahat para sa promosyon pagkatapos ang ginagastusan nila sa promo [ay] palaging nalalagay sa intriga at hindi pa kagandahan ang isyu,” she stated.

Gonzales didn’t make any reaction to the said accusations as of writing.
