Netizens expressed concern over the statements of comedian Marietta Subong popularly known as Pokwang against her former husband Lee O’Brian.

It can be recalled that Pokwang criticized her former husband several times and even claimed that the latter was being a freeloader in their house for almost six years.

“Nagising lang ako sa katotohanan na anim na taon kona pala sya palamunin at limang taon walang child support! Wag kana baka madamay ka sa demandahan namin,” Pokwang said.

“Hindi ko siya iniwan tanungin mo siya bakit ko siya pinalayas! Tanungin mo now na!” she added.

Several netizens urged Pokwang to stop making public comments against Lee for the sake of their children.

“If I were pokwang para hindi pinagpistahan ng mga basher niya tumahimik focus getting better yourself getting better your career kept yourself busy, don’t be a loser naging ampalaya ka pag you’re destroying your ex always remember he’s also your daughter’s dad stay cool, all youre actions it reflects who you are,” netizen Mallows Gabales said.

“Move on k n lng,mabuti at nagising k din s ka22hanan,,concentrate s iyong anak,,ganyan ang pag ibig minsan bulag,,baka yun pana n kupido e syo dibdib lng 2mma at yun s husband m e s ulo 2mama kya naging ganon hndi pgmmahal kundi pananamantala ang asa isip nya,” netizen Chel Caspillo commented.

A Filipino rapper had gone viral on social media after his post about treating his family to a big dinner.

In a Facebook post, Youngone shared a photo of his family together with the food he bought for them.

It can be seen that the food he bought from a popular fast-food restaurant was more than enough for four of them.

The photo received 62,000 reactions as of writing and mostly positive comments from the netizens.

“Mahirap kame pero nanlilibre pag meron,” the rapper said.

However, the rapper didn’t evade the criticisms from some netizens who reminded him that it’s his responsibility to buy food for his family and he should stop flexing it on social media.

“Nilibre mo pamilya mo, wow amazing ako ay napabilib sa iyong kahusayan dapat kang bigyan ng award ang galing,” a netizen sarcastically commented.

“Goods yan boss keep it up ikaw ang unang rapper sa kasaysayan na nanglibre ng pamilya,” another netizen said.

Youngone also received support from some netizens who defended him from criticisms.

“I feel like hindi naman pamilya niya ang tinutukoy niya diyan sa nililibre nila pag meron. kasi in the first place, ginamit niya yung word na KAMI na ibig sabihin mahirap sila pero sila yung nanlilibre pag meron, hindi yung mahirap sila pero nililibre niya yung family niya (na obligasyon naman dapat at hindi panlilibre tawag don). makikita rin sa picture na andaming pagkain ilang bucket meal at yum burger yun. di naman siguro sila bibili ng ganiyan kung para sa kanila lang kasi andami niyan masyado. which supports my assumption na ang tinutukoy niya sa nililibre niya/nila kapag merong pera ay ang ibang tao at hindi ang family niya na responsibilidad naman talaga,” netizen Kenth Vidallo said.

“Ewan ko kung out-of-touch lang ba kayo sa struggles ng mga mahihirap, o trigger-happy kayong kagalitan ang mga mahihirap sa internet. Samantalang pag may sumira sa trip niyo, kayo pa ’yung unang nagsasabi ng “Let people enjoy things.” Nakakapagod kayo. Sa totoo lang.” netizen Toni Panagu wrote.

After becoming viral, Youngone addressed the netizens thanking them for support.

“Salamat sa suporta ke meron o wala,” he said.

Paolo wrote the letter in 2017 as his birthday message to LJ.

Paolo told LJ that while their future was full of uncertainties, he was already sure they would be together forever.

“Alam ko marami pa ang malabo at hindi malinaw sa rating hinaharap… pero is a lang ang malinaw para sa akin… Ikaw.” Paolo said. “Malinaw na ikaw lang ang gusto kong makasama habang hinaharap lahat ng kalabuan sa mundong ito. Ikaw lang ang nagbibigay saya sa akin sa gitna ng ilang kalungkutan ko,”

“Kaya naman malinaw na ikaw lang ang mamahalin ko hanggang pagtanda ko,” he added.

Unfortunately, four years after the letter was written, LJ and Paolo announced the end of their relationship.

Some netizens couldn’t stop themselves from commenting on the said letter.

Most of them made a sarcastic response to the message of Paolo.

It was rumored that the cause of their breakup was their alleged relationship of Paolo with Yen.

The two met during the taping of the movie Faraway Land where they’re acting as a couple with a complicated love story.

However, in the recent interview, Paolo denied that he became unfaithful to LJ.

“Nung nag-Baguio kami ni Yen, nasa states na sila LJ nu’n. Nagmukhang baliktad, hindi na kami nu’n [ni LJ],” Paolo said.

As of writing, LJ has yet to respond to Paolo’s denial.

The veteran actress even said that during the last taping of their soap ‘PS I Love You’ in 2011, they were already on good terms.

“Hindi ako galit kay Alex. I even guested on her show. She was very gracious to me. She was very nice. In fact, nag-usap kami sa taping, okay na siya. Nag-last day taping pa kami na masaya kami. She even hosted it. Nagbibiruan pa. Hindi ako galit sa kanya.” she said.

However, the actress admitted that Alex caught her attention when the latter talked about her experience with a certain ‘Artistang Matanda’ that was rumored to be Dina.

“Hindi ako na-offend na tinawag. It’s true na matanda na ako, I am 61. But I’d like to see people at 61 if they are still looking fresh. Sorry but I feel fresh. And I think I look fresh. Hindi ako na-offend doon,” she said.

It can be recalled that Dina talked several times about Alex and called her ‘unprofessional’ for being late.

“Talagang sinabihan ko siya: ‘Who do you think you are? Are you famous? Who are you? What name you made? Have you carved your name in stone in showbiz?” said stated in an interview in 2018.

In a podcast aired last year, Alex shared that the said ‘Artistang Matanda’ always painted her as the villain.

“After how many years, she’s painting me as the bad guy. Na deserve ko. Yung pinapanood ko, I think ako yan. Parang yung kwento ko yung sinasabi nya. Pero parang mali yung kwento nya. Diba may mga ganun.” she said.

Ogie, also known for doing acting workshops for new talents, didn’t name the said artist, but several netizens already tried to guess it.

Some netizens mentioned several names, including Francine Diaz and Seth Fedelin.

Coincidentally, Francine was trending on Twitter because of one scene taken during the said drama series together with her co-star Xyriel Manabat.

Actor Luis Manzano was facing a big challenge after being tagged to a complaint filed by 100 people who invested in a fuel company that turned out to be a fraud.

Several investors filed a complaint against Manzano after they invested millions of pesos in Flex Fuel Corporation.

They also filed a complaint against Ildefonso “Bong” Medel Jr, who’s the CEO of ICM Group of Companies that own the fuel company.

According to the complaint, they invested around P990,000 because they were confident that they’re convinced that they’re investing in the company of Manzano who’s a popular and successful celebrity in the Philippines.

“We invested because of Luis Manzano. His message during a Zoom conference in 2020 resonated with us. We trusted in Flex Fuel because his name was attached to it,” one of the complainants said according to the report of Bilyonaryo.

The complainants also said that Manzano started to distance himself from the company after investors started to complain that their investments were failing already.

In some promotional photos and videos by the said company, Manzano has been introduced as the ‘Chairman/Owner’ and promotional materials urged interested investors to ‘do business’ with the actor.

Several vlogs also tagged Manzano as the owner of the said company, but the actor denied it and asked NBI’s help to clear his name.

In a letter published by Bilyonaryo, Manzano defended himself saying that he already resigned from the company because of Medel’s failure to be transparent in his company.

The actor also insisted that he never took part in managing the company.

“Bong conducted the business in such a way that operational matters were kept away from me,” Manzano stated.

Manzano also claimed that Medel owes him P66-M.

As of writing, Manzano has yet to give a public statement about the issue.

Dasmariñas City Councilor Kiko Barzaga couldn’t stop himself from reacting on the failed relationship of comedian Pokwang to her American husband Lee O’Brian.

It can be recalled that Pokwang criticized her co-star and ‘anak-anakan’ Ella Cruz for her statement about ‘history’.

“Nak Ella Cruz tanggap ko pananaw mo sa politika at respeto ko ang sino man sinuportahan mo, pero sa usaping HISTORY, di ako sasang ayon sayo nak dahil mali! maling mali… mabuti pang ibalik na kitang muli sa dagat nak mayaman sa iodin ang dagat nakakatalino daw yan #Aryana,” the comedian said.

Ella admitted that she was saddened by the statement of Pokwang against her especially since she almost treated the comedian as her second mother.

Several personalities including Barzaga reacted to the feud, saying that the comedian’s failed relationship with her former husband was her ‘karma’ for criticizing Ella.

“Puro kasi bash si Pokwang kay Ella, nakarma tuloy.” the councilor said.

Several months after the post of Barzaga, Pokwang revealed that Lee only used her and didn’t even make an effort to provide for their family.

This was after she claimed that Lee was already dating someone and finally refused to come back to her.

“Nagising lang ako sa katotohanan na anim na taon kona pala sya palamunin at limang taon walang child support! Wag kana baka madamay ka sa demandahan namin,” Pokwang said.

“Hindi ko siya iniwan tanungin mo siya bakit ko siya pinalayas! Tanungin mo now na!” she added.

Veteran actress Dina Bonnevie has gone viral on social media last Tuesday, January 31 after she revealed that the woman she subjected to a blind item for more than a decade was Alex Gonzaga.

The issue between Dina and Alex was almost forgotten until the actress and social media influencer recounted one of her worst experiences during her career.

In a podcast uploaded last December, Alex recounted that an actress that she called ‘Artistang Matanda’ painted her as a villain many times.

“There was a time in my early 20s. Pinagsisigawan ako ng artistang matanda. Pinagsisigawan nya talaga ko from head to foot. Kasi akala niya galing ako sa bahay tapos late lang ako. Di nya alam na galing ako sa work. Kasi siguro hindi sinabi sa kanya.”

“After how many years, she’s painting me as the bad guy. Na deserve ko. Yung pinapanood ko, I think ako yan. Parang yung kwento ko yung sinasabi nya. Pero parang mali yung kwento nya. Diba may mga ganun.

“May mga tao who did you wrong and then you won’t even talk about it. Parang you’ll just let it be. And then pag sila pa yung nagkwento, sila pa yung mabait [at] ikaw pa yung masama. And then naisip ko, panong dapat kong gawin pag ganun? And then ang daming uma-agree. Naisip ko, wala. Kasi alam ko naman yung katotohanan eh.” she said.

Because of this statement of Alex, many netizens became curious and discussed the past issue between the actress and Dina.

It can be recalled that Dina admitted to Boy Abunda that the ‘unprofessional’ actress she encountered in 2011 was Alex whom she became a co-star in a television show produced by TV5.

Dina said that she confronted Alex several times because of the latter’s attitude of being always late and having difficulty performing to act.

“Sabi ko hindi pa ipinapanganak ang babastos sa akin Alex, kinakausap kita nang maayos. If you want to stay long in this business you have to be professional. Lagi kang late, you know, you can’t even memorize your lines, hindi ka makaiyak.” Dina stated.

Remember gaano ka-BASURA UGALI ni ALEX GONZAGA

“I’m not talking to you like this because I want to pull you down, I want you to succeed in your career, I want you to be big in this business,” she added.

As of writing, Alex has yet to give a response to the admission of Dina.
