Cristy Fermin calls her ‘anak-anakan’ Willie Revillame ‘mayabang’: “Kakambal ng kanyang inunan ang kayabangan.”

Cristy Fermin reacted to the current criticisms being received by her so-called ‘anak-anakan’ Willie Revillame.

It can be remembered that for several days, Revillame was receiving negative comments from the netizens after he addressed the celebration of some critics of the decision of AllTV management to temporarily stop some of their shows.

“Parang natutuwa pa kayo na mawawala ‘yung mga programa na nagbibigay ng saya. Sana hindi ganon diba. Wag naman po sanang ganon, syempre you have to understand na nagsisimula palang po ang AllTV.” Revillame said.

In her online show ‘Cristy Ferminute’, the showbiz columnist admitted that Revillame has a boastful attitude.

“Alam n’yo po, magiging sinungaling po ako kung sasabihin ko sa inyo na walang yabang si Willie Revillame.” Cristy said.

“Real talk po tayo, magpakatotoo po tayo. Ako mismo, nanay-nanayan niya, alam ko. Mayabang si Willie Revillame, may yabang. Nung ipanganak siya, kakambal ng kanyang inunan ang kayabangan.” she added.

However, Cristy clarified that there’s a reason why Revillame was showing a negative attitude recently.

“Pero ang pagyayabang ni Willie Revillame, ‘yung ‘pag may nagsisimula siyang proyekto, ‘yung tiwala sa sarili, alam mo ‘yun? Excited siya.” she explained.

“Wala pong magsisimula ng anumang paghamon na nalulungkot. Alangan namang sabihin niya, ‘Magsisimula na po ang aming show. Ang lulungkot po naming lahat kasi malaking paghamon po ito. Sana po marausan po namin at magtagumpay.’ Wala pong ganun.” she added.

There were rumors that Revillame might quit temporarily from hosting because of the recent developments happening in AllTV and also due to the advice of his doctors.

Lito Lapid admits that people still belittle him because of his education: “Ano ang magagawa ko, anak ako ng labandera?”

Action star and Sen. Lito Lapid admitted that despite what he achieved in life, some people still look down on him.

In an interview with Philippine Entertainment Portal (Pep), Lapid said that despite being a senator, some people still belittled him because of his educational background.

It can be recalled that Lapid didn’t finish college because he decided to pursue his career as an actor.

“Palagi akong inaapi dahil hindi ako nag-aral ‘di ba. Kahit senator na ako, ‘yun pa rin ang sinasabi sa akin. Parang wala akong alam, ‘yun ang tingin nila sa akin,”  Lapid said.

According to him, he accepted that he didn’t finish college because he came from a low-income family and had no choice but to work after finishing high school.

He believed that people still making fun of his educational background were only jealous because he had achieved so much in life.

“Totoo naman ang sinasabi nila na hindi ako nakapag-aral. Ano ang magagawa ko, anak ako ng labandera? Hindi ako kayang pag-aralin ng nanay ko. Siguro ‘yung nagsasabi nun, naiinggit. Narating ko ang ganito kahit hindi naman ako nakapag-aral. Kasi, mahal ako ng Panginoon,” he said.

Lapid started his showbiz career as a stuntman, and during the 1970s, he began to rise to stardom.

He first attempted to enter the world of politics in 1992 and ran as Vice Governor of Pampanga but lost to his opponent.

He then ran in 1995 as Governor of the same province and won, and in 2004 became a senator.

Experts believed that the popularity of Lapid in showbusiness made him a successful politician, but some people still thought he was incompetent to become a lawmaker.

 

Store owner apologizes to netizens, saying that the ‘Pa Cash-In’ girl is not a scammer: “

A lady went viral on social media on Monday, February 6, after she was recorded trying to convince a store owner to send money to a certain e-wallet without paying first.

The said woman has been labeled as a ‘Cash In Girl,’ and people suspected that the said customer was trying to scam the store owner.

The video has been uploaded to several social media pages and received millions of views.

The store owner urged the netizens to delete the said video, saying that she discovered that her customer was known for being helpful to their community.

She explained that someone told her customer that she won a raffle and was required to send money first before getting the price.

“Sinabihan na nanalo siya ng P350,000 tapos hinihingian siya ng P5,000 para sa processing fee kaya siya nagpa-cash-in sakin, eh wala siyang idea sa cash-in at cash-out,” the woman said.

“Nananawagan ako sa mga vlogger at sa mga nag-post dito na ipa-delete nalang po kasi mukhang mabait naman po si ate. Na stalk ko rin ‘yung Facebook ng asawa niya nakita ko doon tumutulong po talaga sila sa nangangailangan,” she added.


However, netizens were still not convinced by the explanation of the store owner.

“Naniwala ka naman eh obvious naman na wala syang kausap at isa pa tinanong mo sya kung nasa kanya ung 5k sabi nya nasa kanya sa ung magbabayad so no d kapanipaniwala,” a netizen said.

Some even accused the store owner of conspiring with her customer to gain views.

“I was promised that the collagen-boosting product would be formulated according to my specifications and the distributorship of the flavored melon drink would be exclusive to me as soon as I made the downpayment,” Alawi said in the compliant.

“[888 Paragons] proceeded to release the collagen drink replicated from the product specifications that my team and I relayed to them during product development meetings,” she added.

“The company purposely misled me into believing that I would be the exclusive distributor of the melon-flavored drink, but they were already starting to create and sell a competing product.

Alawi also said that she tried to settle things privately, but the company ignored her messages.

“To date, my attempts have been in vain. The respondents have been openly flaunting the windfall they got from me and the profits they allegedly made from the copycat product, which was manufactured using ingredients of poor quality,” she said.

As of writing, the said manufacturing company has yet to give comment to Alawi’s accusations.

Jake Zyrus wows netizens after showcasing his ‘Charice Pempengco’ voice

Jake Zyrus became trending several times on social media because of his alleged failing career abroad since he decided to change his singing style to fit his identity as a transman.

It can be recalled that Jake, formerly Charice Pempengco decided to abandon his Mezzo-Soprano style of singing that made him famous worldwide and started recording songs with lower notes.

However, on February 3, several netizens were surprised by a video of Jake singing a high-noted song and proving that he can still be ‘Charice’ anytime.

Jake sang Making Love Out of Nothing at All by Air Supply in the video with his friends.

It can be heard that Jake can still reach the high notes, and netizens couldn’t stop themselves from asking if the singer had already decided to return to his old singing style.

Some netizens made their comments on the video and encouraged Jake to go back to ‘Charice’.

“You can be a start again in Hollywood!!!!God is good to you, Let the love of God be a center of your plans.” netizen Rose Reyes said.

“This person. REALLY DESERVE A SECOND CHANCE. Goooo lang Jake or Charice. Just let go,” netizen Olecram Rj remarked.

“Theres nothing like your original voice.. u can have jake cyrus with a charice voice..” netizen Geneose commented.

 

 

Yorme Isko Moreno lectures Ogie Diaz about moving on after election: “Hindi natin sila kailangang i-cancel”

A statement of former Manila City Mayor Isko Moreno has gone viral after he gave his thoughts about moving on after he lost the presidential election in 2022.

However, Moreno denied that he resented Diaz, saying that he had already accepted his defeat after seeing the election result.

“Because in a competition may nananalo, may natatalo.” Moreno said. “Ang mga kaibigan mo, hindi mo sila pinupwersahing gustuhin ka. Especially kung leadership naman ang pinag-uusapan kasi kinabukasan nila ‘yun.”

“Showing those attitudes is respecting their beliefs and knowledge about a leader or ‘yung gusto nilang leader. Kaya ako wala along prejudice sa tao na.. “Ayan ang gusto niya eh.” he added.

It can be recalled that until today, some supporters of a losing candidate continued to criticize and ‘cancel’ the people who supported the winner of the election, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.

Moreno said that people should stop canceling people just because they chose a different candidate.

“Hindi mo sila kailangang maging kaaway, hindi natin sila kailangang cancel-in, hindi natin sila kailangang awayin, pwersahin. You cannot get the real mandate na may suporta pa after election kung sapilitan lang ginawa.” he stated.

The video went viral on social media, and some netizens praised Moreno for accepting his defeat, unlike specific candidates’ other supporters.

Ogie Diaz reacts to a lawyer calling him ‘ngetpa’: “Oo naman. Ubod ako nang ngetpa.”

Ogie Diaz made a short reaction on after being called ugly by a lawyer on Twitter.

It can be recalled that the well-known talent manager became a guest of former Manila City Mayor Isko Moreno’s online show and they talked about moving on and accepting the result of the election.

Ogie may be referring to Atty. Ferdinand Topacio’s comment says that Ogie can’t relate to their statement of Moreno because he’s ugly.

“Pa’no makaka-relate si Ogie, eh ngetpa siya. ” 

In his tweet, Ogie just referred Topacio to as ‘Atty. Gasulito’ and admitted that he’s really ugly.

“Sabi ni attorney gasulito, ngetpa daw ako. Oo naman. Ubod ako nang ngetpa. Ang importante, walang nagsabing gwapo ka.” Ogie said.

Netizens even shared their thoughts about Atty. Topacio.

“Nako, yang si Atty na yan, binangga kotse ko sa Lawton Ave some years back. Pagbaba ng kotse, ang sbe saken, “hello! Do you know me? I’m Atty Topacio.” Sbe ko, “No, i dont know you”. Kala niya ata papalamon ako ng buhay sknya. Ayon siningil ko.” netizen @sml52262318 said.

“Hindi na nga siya gwapo, hindi na siya matangkad, hindi na siya matalino, hindi siya funny and all of those things can be negligible IF NOT FOR THE FACT NA HINDI RIN SIYA MABUTING TAO,” netizen @moaningdata remarked.

Topacio has yet to respond to Ogie’s comment.

It can be remembered that Topacio commented on Ogie’s post last year after the latter complained about the price of canned sardines in the country.

“Saan ka nakatira. Padadalhan kita ng ulo ng isda.” Topacio told Ogie.

Patama kay Kuya Wil? Gab Valenciano tells someone: “Filipinos are waking up, you should too”

Gabriel Valenciano broke his silence after months of not giving any opinion about different issues in the country.

In a tweet, Gab took a swipe against someone who has the power to ‘persuade people through gaslighting’, saying that the time of that individual was already over.

“I haven’t been as vocal for awhile but I can no longer suppress my thoughts. I will just say this.” Gab said.

“Your power to persuade people through gaslighting your whole life has run out. What goes around will always come back around. Filipinos are waking up, you should too.” he added.

It can be recalled that it was reported that the management of AllTV included Willie’s show Wowowin in the flagship programs that needed to stop temporarily to prevent the continuous cash drain.

Revillame had gone viral because of his statement criticizing the netizens who were celebrating what was happening in AllTV.

The host also asked the netizens to stop involving politics on the issue.

A report also said that Revillame has been told by his doctors to quit temporarily from hosting because of his health, a sign that what was currently happening in AllTV was stressful.

Isang babae, hindi pinagbigyan ng tindera matapos magpa-cash-in kahit na hindi pa nagbabayad

The popularity of e-wallets in the Philippines has been increasing in recent years. This can be attributed to the increasing adoption of mobile phones and internet connectivity and the convenience and security that e-wallets offer for digital transactions.

Even simple ‘Sari-Sari stores’ already became mini remittance centers because of the popularity of e-wallets.

Because of the increasing usage of e-wallets in the country, some people with bad intentions have already targeted mini stores by doing different modus.

Netizen Paul Ollie shared a video of a store owner who almost became a victim of a modus where someone would pose as a customer who wanted to reload an e-wallet.

The said customer wanted the store owner to send the money first before she gave the money.

Fortunately, the store owner quickly felt something was wrong, so she refused the customer’s demand.

According to the store owner, the customer wanted her to reload P10,000, so she became extra careful and asked for the payment first.

However, the customer didn’t follow the store owner’s request and started talking to someone on the phone.

The customer insisted on sending the money first, but the store owner refused.

“Wala naman akong nakikitang pera sa inyo bakit ko i-process? Baka mamaya i-send ko to tapos wala pala kayong pera diyan,” the store owner asked.

After several minutes, the customer left and just thanked the store owner.

Netizens already became suspicious of the customer and praised the store owner for being smart.
