A retired official of the Philippine Air Force and now a Captain of an airline company lectured Dingdong Dantes on how should he give an opinion on the anti-terror law as a reservist of the Philippine Navy.

Captain Ulysses Ignacio told Dantes that as a reservist, he should support the program of the government and shouldn’t oppose it.

Dantes is a Philippine Navy Reservist with a rank of Lieutenant Commander.

Ignacio believes that the opinions of Dantes against Anti-Terror law only showed that his foundation as a reservist of the country is weak.

He also said that Dantes may be violating some protocols of the AFP.

The captain suggested that the actor should just stop commenting on the controversial law.

Ignacio also narrated that they formed the Anti-Terrorism Task Force (ATTF) in 2004 to prevent the evil-doers to sow chaos in the country.

Here’s the whole post of Ignacio to Dantes:

“Dingdong I have a message for you.”

“Way back 2004 ako sampu ng mga opisyal ng AFP under the Office of the President ay binuo ang Office of the Anti-Terrorism Task Force (ATTF). Layunin ang pag ibayuhin ang kampanya ng pamahalan laban sa terorismo.”

“Bilang isang reservist, as you claim to be. Dapat sumuporta ka sa program ng gobyerno hindi kontrahin ito. It only shows na hilaw pagiging reservists mo at mababaw ang foundation mo bilang Navy Reserve. May spokesperson ang AFP at youre violating the protocol by branding your reserve status at the same time being a civilian, an actor at that. You are well covered by a court martial kaya shut the hell up.”

“Keep your opinion to yourself. A soldier only talks when asked.”

Three weeks ago, Dantes made a lengthy Instagram post to express his opposition to anti-terror law.

Dantes suggested that the lawmakers should remove “section 9, Inciting to Commit Terrorism” that punishes “any person who, without taking any direct part in the commission of terrorism, shall incite others to the execution of any of the acts… by means of speeches, proclamations, writings, emblems, banners, or other representations tending to the same end.” 

He also said that the government should invite artists like him to participate in creating the rules and regulations of the said law.

“Umaasa kaming mga aktor na maririnig at pakikinggan ang aming boses. I too hope that we can still find a way to create an ideal Anti-Terror Law that respects Filipino’s constitutional rights and limitations within an environment of public trust and confidence,” he said.

A netizen made a popular post on social media after she compared how the Duterte family handled the situation when Veronica “Kitty” Duterte was also became target of criticisms and harassment.

Krizette Laureta Chu who recently criticizing Sharon Cuneta mentioned how Duterte received threats and even accused of being involved in a drug syndicate by Peter Joemel “Bikoy” Advincula in 2019.

In one of his videos, Bikoy claimed that the 15-year-old presidential daughter was receiving payoffs in some illegal trades during their travels to Hong Kong.

After surrendering, Bikoy apologized for making claims against Duterte family and accused former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV of ordering him to make the said videos.

According to Chu, Kitty’s mother Honeylet Avacena only made shorts statements against Bikoy’s accusations, unlike Cuneta who became too much vocal on social media by defending her husband Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan and Frankie Pangilinan.

Chu added that the Duterte family didn’t asked the authorities to hunt the netizens who made r*pe threats to Kitty.

The netizen concluded that the Duterte family handled the issue very well because they’re not “self-entitled” or “spoiled”.

“Ang daming r*pe threats against Kitty Duterte in the beginning, sinabi ding may kinalaman sa drugs (LOLOL), dinamay pa ni Bikoy at Trillanes yung minor sa “Ang Totoong Narcolist” video where they said Honeylet Avanceña and Kitty were receiving payoffs from the illegal drug trade and depositing transactions in banks in Hong Kong.”

“Sabi lang ni Honeylet, “Pag sure oi.””

“Hindi naman nag break down si HONEYLET o yung Presidente. Hindi naman nila pinahanap yung nag r*pe threat, considering yun eh mga blatant threats at hindi (kung ako ay 12 years old) hypothetical statements.”

“Di din naman sila nag tag ng kung sino sino. Di naman sila nag recite ng lineage at genealogy nila, considering Governor yung Tatay ni Duts, hindi lang Mayor.”

“Ganon ata pag hindi self entitled at spoiled, I think? (Di ko masyadong alam eh kasi ako self entitled at spoiled at bungangera pa.) Kung ako yun, tag ko si Putin agad agad tignan natin.”

Cuneta received criticisms in the past few days after she made several social media posts to defend her family from the supporters of President Duterte.

The criticisms against her were also amplified after she expressed support to Vice President Leni Robredo’s presidency in 2022, hoping that the people became decent under the leadership of the latter.

In a now-deleted Instagram post, Cuneta also mentioned her problems with the Duterte family and said that she’s done with accompanying the supporters of the President.

Megastar Sharon Cuneta couldn’t hide her frustrations anymore and decided to made it public on social media.

In a now-deleted post, Cuneta made a lengthy post about the problems they faced because of the actions of the Duterte family.

According to her, she didn’t react when the supporters of the chief executive criticized and disrespected her husband Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan.

Cuneta again mentioned how they were affected by President Duterte’s claim that she’s already separated from Pangilinan.

She also aired her sentiments when Duterte convinced her brother Chet Cuneta to run as a mayoral candidate of Pasay City.

Cuneta claimed that her brother was buried in debt because of the expenses they made during the election and it turned out that Inday Sara also endorsed the opponent of Chet.

Last year, Inday Sara was seen raising the hands of now Pasay City Mayor Emil Calixto-Rubiano, the opponent of Chet Cuneta last Mayoral elections.

Inday Sara also endorsed Cuneta, saying that the brother of the megastar is the true Mayor of Pasay City.

She then narrated how a ‘DDS’ made a nasty comment to her daughter Frankie Pangilinan.

The megastar said that she’s already done with being kind to the supporters of President Duterte because they’re not hesitating to criticize her and her family.

Cuneta is a known friend of the Duterte family, and even Inday Sara admitted that she’s a fan of the megastar since her childhood.

You can read her whole post below:

“Si Inday Sara, NIRESPETO NIYO BA AKO AT ANG ANAK KO? Noon pa binabastos niyo na ang asawa ko. Tapos ang pangulo mismo ang nag sabi na PINAPALAYAS KO ANG ASAWA KO SAMIN AT MAGRERESIGN SIYA KUNDI TOTOO. Ang laking GULAT NAMIN NOON.”

“Dahil hindi ko pa siya nakakausap since before HE HIMSELF ASKED & CONVINCED MY BROTHER TO RUN FOR MAYOR OF PASAY. MAY NARINIG BA KAYO SA AKIN? WALA. Nasaktan kami at ang mga anak ko. Nagkabaon-baon sa utang ang kapatid ko kasi wala naman kaming nakuhang tulong. Tuwang-tuwa kami nung inendorse siya ng Pangulo at ni Inday Sara. Tapos nagulat kami pati ang kalaban niya ay inendorso rin. MAY NARINIG BA KAYO SA AMIN KAHIT NASAKTAN KAMI? WALA.”

“Tapos binababoy ng isang DDS na kasama nyo ang anak ko. May dumepensa ba sa amin kahit mahal daw ako ni Tatay? Wala. AKO AT SI KAKIE NA ITO, HINDI NA SI KIKO LANG. NASAKTAN AKO. Kasi TAYO DAPAT ANG MAGKAKAMPI. PERO KAYO ANG SUMIRA AT PATULOY NA SUMISIRA SAMIN. AWANG AWA NA AKO SA ASAWA’T MGA ANAK KO.”

“Ilang taon ko din silang halos hinayaang masaktan habang pinagtatanggol ko ng pilit si Tatay sa kanila. Pero SOBRA NA KAYO. AYOKO MAKASAMA ANG MGA TULAD NINYONG WALANG AWA O PUSO. ILANG BESES NA KAMI NASAKTAN. NAPAKASAMA KO NAMANG ASAWA AT INA PAG HINAYAAAN KO PA NA MAGPATULOY YUN NG ANO, NAKA SMILE LANG LAGI? HINDI KO NA KAYA.”

In the past few days, Cuneta became vocal on social media about the problems her family being faced because of the tremendous amount of criticisms they received.

She claimed that some netizens even started to compare the beauty of her two daughters, KC Concepcion and Frankie Pangilinan.

Cuneta then expressed support to Vice President Leni Robredo if ever she decided to run for President in 2022, hoping that the people act in a decent manner again if the latter becomes the chief executive.

“Pagkatapos ng term ni Pangulong Duterte, sana talaga manalo si VP Leni kung tumakbo siya. Baka sakaling bumalik ang pagka disente ng karamihan sa atin,” said Cuneta while stopping her tears from falling.

 

Jobert Sucaldito tells Congress on how he got removed from ABS-CBN because of Nadine Lustre after working there for 17 years

Veteran showbiz reporter and writer Jobert Sucaldito told the lawmakers on Wednesday how his 17 years of service in ABS-CBN ended because of Kapamilya’s top star Nadine Lustre.

During the Congress’ hearing on the ABS-CBN franchise, Sucaldito narrated how the issue started between him and Lustre who’s considered as one of the most popular celebrities of the said network.

According to him, he heard about the breakup rumors between James Reid and Lustre and decided to cover the story.

Sucaldito insisted that he only wanted to lecture Lustre who’s hinting to end her life on her own because of the breakup.

Jobert Sucaldito

“December 30, ng may lumabas na headline sa Bulgar newspaper kung saan na sinabi ni Nadine na magpapakamatay kapag iniwan siya ni James Reid, so kinagabihan, we discussed that in our program,” said Sucaldito.

“I discussed that in our program, in fact pinangaralan ko si Nadine because you know, I like that girl, ang sabi ko sa kanya ‘That’s not the way to handle a heart break’ sabi ko ‘hindi mo kailangan magpakamatay, unang una you are a beautiful girl, may pangalan ka, at tsaka its against the law of God and the law of the land,” he added.

A few weeks after, Sucaldito then criticized Lustre after the latter called out entertainment writer Ricky Lo for claiming that she’s already separated with Reid.

During that time Sucaldito made a controversial statement to Lustre who was being accused of just making noise.

“May mga pictorials kasi siya earlier na may mga pictorial siya doon sa may building naka bikini, tapos may mga hugot lines siya kay James, so nag play ako with words, ang sabi ko ‘kung mo lang naman pag usapan edi tumalon ka nalang sa building’ that was stressing a point, but I’m not saying na magpakamatay ka,” he stated.

Two days after he made the said comments, Sucaldito said that he received a call from a station manager asking him to apologize for his remarks against Lustre.

He was also asked to remove his social media about Lustre and Lo.

After he made a public apology, he was invited by the said station manager and asked to sign an indefinite suspension letter with no pay.

“May nakita ako ditong line na parang hindi ko maintindihan na threatening na sa aking work because I’d work for you for 17 years tapos may ganitong eksena, sabi ko ‘ano ito?’ that suspension of my contract with ABS,” Sucaldito said.

Sucaldito said that he refused to sign the said letter and asked his lawyer Atty. Ferdinand Topacio to file an illegal dismissal complaint against ABS-CBN.

“Nalulungkot ako lalo everytime na I would hear sir Carlo Katigbak saying they’re concern about the who will lose jobs kasi kawawa naman sila walang makain, pero how about us, papaano kami, naisip niyo ba kami?” Sucaldito said.

“Sabi ko nga nalulungkot ako because this is a sign na parang Kapamilya tayo but you are so heartless ni hindi niyo nga ako binigyan ng pagkakataon na (magpaliwanag),” he added.

Before ending his speech, he clarified that he’s supporting the continuation of ABS-CBN’s operation, but he’s hoping that the high rankings official of the Kapamilya network would learn their lesson.

“Nakakalungkot, I hope you walk your talk, ‘yung making use of the 11,000+ employees as human shields, pero ang totoo niyan hindi naman talaga totoong may puso kayo, its just dramatizing everything, kaya nalulungkot ako,” he said.

Sucaldito has gone viral in the past because of his open letter against ABS-CBN.

Meanwhile, Lustre reacted to Sucaldito’s statement.

“I can’t believe you’re using this issue to fight our home network whose only objective is to protect us. Kahit pagbali baliktarin mo, mali ‘yung sinabi mo. Inalis ka sa trabaho dahil MALU YUNG SINABI MO and how th is this even on congress?! Someone enlighten me. PLS.” Lustre wrote.

“Ikaw na ‘yung sinabihan na tumalon tapos parang kasalanan mo pa? I’m sick and tired of these bommers treating mental issues like it’s a mf joke,” she added.

Sharon Cuneta expresses support to VP Robredo’s presidency: “Baka sakaling bumalik ang pagka disente ng karamihan sa atin!”

It seems that Vice President Leni Robredo would get support from the megastar Sharon Cuneta after the latter already said that she’s hoping for the former to be the successor of President Rodrigo Duterte in 2022.

In her Instagram Livestream, Cuneta talked about the man she vowed to held liable for his threats against her daughter Frankie Pangilinan.

The man who was identified as Sonny Alcos was accused of being a supporter of Duterte, and some supporters of the President defended the former to Cuneta’s wrath.

Cuneta expressed her sadness over what’s happening right now in the Filipinos, saying that netizens became more disrespectful now and not thinking if their words are hurting others anymore.

The megastar assured the netizens that she’s still a friend of President Duterte despite the statements of the chief executive against her husband Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan who’s a member of the opposition.

Cuneta met President Duterte several times in the past and even dine together in Malacanang.

“I’ve always been good, or at least I’ve tried separating politics from friendships and relationships…  So ‘yung asawa ko minsan masasakit na ‘yung salita ng Pangulo against him kasi hinahayaan ko lang kasi iniisip ko they’re both politicians, although it would hurt me,” Cuneta said.

“Pero since ang trato sa akin ng Pangulo parang anak niya, ang tawag niya pa sa akin, ‘the singer of my life,’ tapos mahal ko si Inday Sara kasi maliit pa ‘yan Sharonian na ‘yan,” she added.

She also mentioned that she didn’t react negatively even if the President claimed that she already separated from her husband.

Cuneta then said that she only knew few people from the Liberal Party and only endorsed Vice President Leni Robredo in 2016 because she knew the latter and her husband former Interior Secretary Jessie Robredo as clean politicians.

“Alam ko na talaga ‘yung mag asawang yan, sobrang tino kahit tanungin niyo pa ang buong Bicol, talagang sobrang walang corruption sa record ni Sec. Jessie na naging Mayor at si VP Leni hindi pa siya tumatakbo ay kilala ko na siya, napaka disente talaga,” she said.

Cuneta revealed that she’s eyeing for Poe as President last 2016, calling her also a ‘disente’.

The megastar then made a big revelation, saying that she’s hoping for Robredo to run in 2022.

“I don’t know what’s happened to our country. I hope VP Leni runs for president next time, dahil hindi na rin naman makakatakbo si Tatay next time, one term lang diba… napaka disente… Nakakatakot na kasi, ngayon lang ako naka experience ng ganito,” she stated.

“Pagkatapos ng term ni Pangulong Duterte, sana talaga manalo si VP Leni kung tumakbo siya. Baka sakaling bumalik ang pagka disente ng karamihan sa atin,” she added while trying to stop her tears from falling.

After expressing support to Robredo, Cuneta then talked about the people comparing her daughters KC Concepcion and Frankie Pangilinan.

The megastar received tremendous amount of criticism on social media after she got involved in the issues being faced by her husband Sen. Pangilinan and daughter Frankie.

 

Sharon Cuneta cries after netizens compare KC Concepcion and Frankie Pangilinan: Hindi naman kasing gwapo ni Kiko si Gabby

Megastar Sharon Cuneta responded to the netizens who compared the appearance of her daughters KC Concepcion and Frankie Pangilinan.

In her Instagram, Cuneta expressed sadness over the people who said that KC is more beautiful than Frankie.

Cuneta said that people should understand that KC is more beautiful than Frankie because the latter’s father is a matinee idol.

“Obvious ba, eh matinee idol ang tatay niya… ganoon kasama ang tao,” said Cuneta.

“I’m so sorry honey, you don’t deserve that, in the end that’s not what matters you know, physical beauty fades,” the megastar told her daughter Frankie who’s in the same room with her during her Livestream.

The megastar became more emotional after she told Frankie that people should not compare her two daughters.

“Please don’t do that to my children, ako nalang pintasan ninyo, natural hindi naman gwapo si Kiko as gwapo as Gabby, but when I married Kiko it didn’t matter kasi lahat ng gwapo nakain-love-an ko sinaktan lang ako,” she said.

“Hindi naman pangit ‘yung asawa ko sa personal, hindi lang pang matinee idol ang itsura,” she added.

She then assured Frankie that she’s also beautiful.

This is not the first time that Cuneta criticized her bashers online.

In her previous Instagram post, Cuneta said that her family was struggling right now because of the criticisms they received.

She also lamented how the netizens threw bad comments against her children because of the political opinions of her husband Sen. Pangilinan.

“Napakasakit ng pinagdaraanan namin ngayon. Kaya nga ako nag-asawa kasi matinong tao si Kiko, at gusto ko tumahimik na ng paunti-unti ang buhay ko. Lalo lang palang gugulo,” Cuneta said.

“Mas naaappreciate ko ang Showbiz ngayon…pagmamahal at intriga lang ang haharapin mo; madaling ayusin ang intriga, libre at napakasarap ng minamahal ka ng walang panig panig tulad ng politika,” she added.

Cuneta even vowed to file a lawsuit against a critic of Frankie even if she loses all the money she had.

A few days ago, a lawyer then challenged Cuneta to file charges against him for calling Sen. Pangilinan a “lousy lawyer” and said that he would slap Frankie for her comments against former Chief Justice Renato Corona.

 

Luis Manzano reacts on Harry Roque’s statement: “Akala ko the whole time COVID ang kalaban, UP pala!”

TV Host Luis Manzano reacted on Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque’s recent statement on how the government beat the COVID-19 predictions of the University of the Philippines.

Manzano made a sarcastic response on Roque’s statement, saying that he thought that the government was fighting a pandemic.

“Akala ko the whole time COVID ang kalaban, UP pala! Congratulations!!” Manzano said.

“#UAAP pala” he also said after he shared a tweet from Jover Laurio’s Pinoy Ako Blog.

UP predicted that the country might reach 40,000 cases of COVID by the end of June.

But the government announced that they only recorded 36,438 positive cases in the country.

Roque, who held a press briefing on Monday, couldn’t hide his joy on how UP didn’t accurately predict the exact cases of COVID-19 this month.

“Panalo na tayo! We beat the UP prediction. Congratulations, Philippines! Let’s do it again in July,” said Roque.

UP predicted that there may be 60,000 cases of COVID in the country before the end of July if the government would not do something to stop the virus from spreading.

 

Rep. Marcoleta asks NTC commissioner Cordoba to resign: “Mag resign nalang po kayo kasi pinagtatakpan niyo”

Deputy Speaker Rodante Marcoleta lashed out National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) Commissioner Gamaliel Cordoba for allowing ABS-CBN to operate via their TV Plus and Channel 43.

During the legislative hearing on ABS-CBN’s franchise on Monday, Marcoleta and other lawmakers pointed out that the cease and desist order by NTC against ABS-CBN should also cover channel 43 and their TV plus operations.

Even Cordoba admitted that the lawmakers against ABS-CBN were correct.

Marcoleta who’s a known critic of ABS-CBN couldn’t hide his disappointment to Cordoba despite the explanations of the latter on why they let the Kapamilya network operate their shows in other ways.

According to him, he’s not convinced of the explanation of Cordoba that they’re waiting for the opinion from the office of the Solicitor General before deciding on the fate of channel 43 and TV plus.

“Ang sabi niya (Cordoba) ay bigyan lamang siya ng ilang araw because he’s discussing it with the Solicitor General, hindi naman po ako naniniwala na aabutin po tayo ng labing siyam na araw bago niya sabihin ngayon na ngayon palang niya ata i-issue ang cease and desist order, bakit po nagkaganon?” said Marcoleta.

Marcoleta said that he wanted the NTC commissioner to resign for allegedly ignoring the actions of ABS-CBN.

“Kung ako ang masusunod, dapat mag resign po si Commissioner Cordoba because he’s not doing his job,” he said.

Marcoleta also accused Cordoba of protecting ABS-CBN.

“Kung ako ang masusunod mag resign nalang po kayo, kasi pinagtatakpan po ninyo eh, ano po ang gagawin namin nandito kami eto bang ginagawa namin ngayon ay walang ka kwenta kwentang bagay? Nagpapagod po kami dito,” the lawmaker told Cordoba.

“Pero ngayon nakabuyangyang sa lahat ng telebisyon nakakapag broadcast parin sila eh, eh kung ganoon po ay itigil nalang po natin ang proceedings Mr. commissioner dahil kahit po pala wala silang prangkisa eh kaya nilang mag broadcast,” he added.

Cordoba during the same day said that ABS-CBN TV plus and Channel 43 should cease operation on June 30.

“All broadcast operations of ABS-CBN are only authorized through its expired franchise…In other words, ABS-CBN’s airing of digital TV on Channel 43 is part of the cease and desist order because the franchise that they used for that is ABS-CBN’s franchise,” said Cordoba.

However, it seems that Cordoba would face a serious problem as Cavite Rep. Boying Remulla hinted charges against the NTC commissioner.

“I believe we have already found a ground for this committee to file a case with the Ombudsman against Commissioner Cordoba because he has willfully disobeyed the power of Congress to issue franchises and allowing an entity to operate a franchise and earn money at the same time,” Remulla said.

 

Atty. Ferdinand Topacio challenges Sharon Cuneta and Frankie Pangilinan: Kasuhan niyo ako, bring it on!

Atty. Ferdinand Topacio challenged Sharon Cuneta into a legal battle after he made a harsh comment against the latter’s husband, Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan, and daughter Frankie Pangilinan.

“Ate Shawie, since the SOJ (Secretary of Justice) is your friend, SUE ME! BRING IT ON!” Topacio wrote.

In a tweet last Sunday, Topacio couldn’t hide his anger over the comments of Frankie against former Chief Justice Renato Corona.

On June 25, Frankie released the notes she wrong while watching the impeachment trial of Corona.

“I personally think he’s guilty. He certainly looks tired, the chief justice is lying. I’m 95% sure of this,” Frankie wrote.

Topacio also made a note about Senator Pangilinan as a response to Frankie’s notes.

“Hi, Kaki Pangilinan. Read your notes on CJ Corona that you saw fit to publicize. Here are my notes on your father: Sen. Pangilinan is a lousy lawyer who couldn’t even win as kapitan till he married your mom and exploited her popularity,” Topacio said.

“He can’t hold a candle to your mom’s first and greatest love Gabby, who remains dashing until now. If I were 12 years old, I’d b*tch-slap you and say F.U. for your rudeness to a dead, great man,” he added.

The camp of Pangilinan has yet to comment on the criticisms of Topacio.

Last week, Cuneta said that she’s going to file charges against a London-based Filipino who made a theoretical question to Frankie.

While Cuneta received support from her fans, some netizens still criticized the megastar for her recent actions.

An OFW even said that he’s not afraid to wish ill to the Pangilinan family after he didn’t get the justice he wanted for her wife who passed away in 2017 because of an accident involving a 16-year-old motorcycle rider.

It’s not yet known if the officials of San Nicolas gave a permit for the fiesta, but photos showed that even barangay patrols lead the procession. An ambulance was also spotted during the festival.

The Barangay Captain of San Nicolas, Norman Navarro also denied that he was informed about the procession.

Cebu City Councilor Eduardo Rama, Jr. criticized the actions of the San Nicolas residents.

“An unauthorized Sinulog performance was held on June 27 at Sitio Alumnos, Basak San Nicolas, clearly violating ECQ protocols. This is completely unacceptable and puts everyone at risk,” said Rama Jr.

The said Barangay contributed 99 out of the 4,831 positive cases of COVID-19 in Cebu City.

The Philippine National Police (PNP) already summoned the people who led the said procession.

They’re going to ensure that the said event would not happen again in any place in Cebu in the future.

“Those people in those areas should realize that if we are not on ECQ, we don’t forbid religious activity. But we are on ECQ. They should realize that,” Deputy Regional Director for Administration of the Police Regional Office 7, Col. Randy Peralta said.

On Sunday, members of the PNP Special Action Force were deployed in the said Barangay to strictly enforce the ECQ.

A few days ago, President Rodrigo Duterte expressed disappointment on what’s happening to Cebu, blaming the people there for the rising cases of COVID.

“You Cebuanos, don’t be angry at me. I just want to be frank with you. It’s good that we are honest with each other. I’ll go there and be honest with you once I visit. You are so stubborn.” Duterte said.

However, former Cebu Mayor Tommy Osmena defended the Cebuanos, saying that they’re not hard-headed.
