Janno Gibbs, being pushed by some APO Hiking Socity fans to replace Danny Javier

OPM legends Jim Paredes and Boboy Garovillo of the APO Hiking Society admitted that their performance would never be the same again without the voice of their late-bandmate Danny Javier.

During a press conference, the remaining members of the legendary OPM band said that it was difficult for them to discuss how they would replace Danny’s voice in their next performances.

“It’s difficult … Jim and I would often discuss, ‘Who’s going to do Danny’s parts?’ Walang kapares ang boses ni Danny. So now, we have to put in the effort. But we’re thankful that we’re still healthy enough to project our voices, and still approximate that Apo sound,” Garovillo said.

“Our songs require three voices—we can’t do them with only the two of us. We thought it would be unfair [to the listeners] if the Apo sound doesn’t come out. That sound is really about the harmonies. We work on that. Our two voices will always be there, but we need a third one,”  he added.

While Paredes and Garovillo said that Javier was not replaceable, several fans mentioned several artists that may become substitutes in the place of the late OPM artist.

One of the artists being mentioned by the netizens was Janno Gibbs who’s known for his deep voice.

“It would be nice if a new singer was brought in to replace Danny. Someone with a similar voice range. It would add a new dimension to the music and new life to the Apo Hiking Society.” netizen Maggie said.

“Janno Gibbs,” netizen mark responded.

The suggestion received mixed reaction from the netizens.

There’s no plan for the remaining APO Hiking Society band members to replace Javier.

Isa sa mga tumulong noon kay Willie Revillame, nagsisisi na ngayon: ‘Sana hindi ko nalang siya ibinalik sa showbiz’

An individual who helped Willie Revillame return to show business expressed regret after the latter started to remind the people who criticized him about the help he gave them in the past.

In a report by Bandera, the said individual claimed that they saved the career of the television host in the past before rising to stardom as a television host.

But now, the source has already expressed regret after witnessing the attitude of Revillame.

It can be recalled that Revillame used his show on AllTV to address his critics and even reminded the money and properties he gave to them in the past.

Revillame also became a wealthy businessman because of his wise spending of his showbiz earnings.

“Nagsisisi nga ako at ibinalik ko pa siya sa showbiz, nagsisisi ako at hindi ko naipagtanggol ‘yung mga staff, dapat ipinagtanggol ko sila. Dapat pinatanggal ko na lang siya sa show noon pa. Hindi dapat inilalagay sa harap ng kamera ang mga gayang ugali.” the individual said.

It can be recalled that Revillame started as a professional drummer and ‘extra’ in many films before becoming part of several variety shows.

In 1998, he became the primary host of the ABS-CBN show “Magandang Tanghali Bayan.”

However, several suspensions put Revillame’s career in limbo. Even MTRCB urged ABS-CBN to remove Revillame from their station because of his attitude finally.

Revillame reached the height of his career when he became the host of Wowowee in 2005, where he reportedly earned P1-M a day.

The theme of the show giving money to the audience guest worked perfectly, and Revillame’s performance even rivaled GMA’s noontime show Eat Bulaga for several years.

Ogie Diaz responded to the criticisms he received from Willie Revillame.

“Wag umiyak. Kung nung araw na kailangan ang luha ng pagdamay mo ay hindi rin naman naramdaman. Bagkus nakitawa ka pa. Kaya wag mamalimos ng simpatya. Kaya mo yan. Wala kang di kinaya.” Diaz said.

Later, Revillame lectured the people who received help but now criticized him because of an edited video spreading on the internet.

Several columnists, including Cristy Fermin, believed that the television host took a swipe against Diaz, who introduced comedian Vice Ganda to Revillame’s now-defunct show Wowowee.

“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.” said 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?” he added.

On February 12, Diaz directly addressed Revillame and responded to the accusations of the television host.

During his online show, Diaz denied that his talents, including Vice Ganda, left him because of his attitude.

“Hindi po ako iniiwan. Maayos po kaming naghiwalay Willie. Si Vice Ganda ay almost five years kami, At hanggang ngayon, magkaibigan kami ni Vice. Kasi pinili namin ‘yung nauna naming relasyon na magkaibigan kami kesa maging manager-talent ang aming relasyon,” the talent manager said.

Diaz then started questioning Revillame why the people surrounding the television host don’t last that long.

“E kung ganun din naman ang usapan, tatanong ko na rin kay Willie, bakit hindi nagtatagal mga co-host mo? Hindi umaabot ng four and a half years? hindi umaabot ng eleven years.” Diaz stated.

It can be recalled that Revillame already recruited more than 30 co-hosts during his career.

It included Mariel Rodriguez, Pokwang, Shalani Soledad, Grace Lee, Ethel Booba, Valerie Concepcion, RR Enriquez, Iya Villania, Kat Alano, Super Tekla, Donita Nose, and Sugar Mercado.

Revillame has yet to answer Diaz’s question for him.

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.
