Cristy Fermin revealed some of the current issues faced by former Sen. Manny Pacquiao’s wife, Jinkee.

In her online show ‘Showbiz Now Na!’ Cristy said that most of the issues being thrown against Jinkee were about her alleged financial status.

It can be recalled that former Sen. Manny had already retired from boxing, their primary source of income, and also lost the costly presidential election in 2022.

One of the issues mentioned by Cristy was the alleged debts of Jinkee to a specific jewelry shop.

“Baon daw po sa utang sa isang jewelry shop si Jinkee Pacquiao… Ang balita, daang-daang milyon daw po ang utang ni Miss Jinkee Pacquiao dito sa tindahan na ito ng mga alahas.” Cristy said.

One of the co-hosts Cristy said that it’s possible that the shops trusted Jinkee so much because of her wealth, and some of them allowed the boxing icon’s wife to get as many items as she wanted.

Aside from the alleged debts, there’s also a billionaire allegedly having problems with the Pacquiao family.

“Tapos, meron daw naghahabol kay Senator Manny Pacquiao na isang bilyonaryo na nagbigay ng isang earnest money sa binibenta nilang bahay sa Forbes park. At nang magkatuluyan daw ang pagbebenta ni Manny at ni Jinkee, sa ibang tao [ibinenta]” she revealed.

“Kinukuha na daw ngayon ng billionaire ‘yung 500 million pesos na ipinauna niya pero hindi na maibalik. Ito ngayon ang pinagtatalunan, maibabalik pa ba o hindi pa.” she added.

Meanwhile, the veteran columnist was not convinced there was a truth about the rumored separation between Jinkee and Manny.

According to Cristy, Jinkee was already there when Manny was still a poor man, and she believed that money would never become a reason for them to get separated.

As of writing, Jinkee has yet to give a response to the claims of Cristy.

Maalala na biglang nag viral sa social media ang isang lumang news clip kung saan makikita ang dating aktor na si John Regala na nasa magandang kondisyon pa habang dinuduro duro ang isang taxi driver na kanyang nakaalitan.

Sa video ay makikitang gigil na gigil si Regala sa taxi driver na nakilala bilang Rafael Sabuhala at hindi ito nag papa awat kahit na nasa harap na sila ng mga otoridad.

Inakusahan pa ni Regala ang taxi driver na pineperahan lamang siya kaya’t sinabi nitong hindi siya papayag ng hindi natitikman ng kanyang kaalitan ang kamao niya.

Pero ayon sa mga saksi ay naupakan na ni Regala ang taxi driver sa gitna ng kalsada bago pa dumating ang mga otoridad.

“Sige magdemanda siya, hihingi siya ng pera sakin? Bibigyan ko siya ng pera pero bubugb0gin ko muna siya!” ani Regala.

Nangyari ang insidente noong 2008, ilang taon bago makuha ni Regala ang kanyang best supporting actor award sa kanyang pagganap sa Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story.

Wala ng naging update sa nasabing kaso, pero kahapon lamang ay nagbigay ng komento ang anak diumano ng taxi driver tungkol sa nangyayari ngayong isyu kay Regala.

Ipinakita ng aktor na si Chuckie Dreyfus, na isa rin ngayon sa mga nakaka alitan ni Regala ang comment ni Znhav Smiley Orendain na nagpakilalang anak ni Sabuhala.

Ayon sa kanya, nanalo ang kanyang ama sa kaso laban kay Regala ngunit wala itong nakuha ni singko sa dating artista.

Ito rin diumano ang pinakamasakit na nangyari sa kanilang pamilya dahil napakabait daw ng kanyang ama at hindi ito nararapat na maltratuhin.

“It was the most painful feeling to see your father being treated bad which he doesn’t deserve and I can’t do anything that time because I’m working overseas,” ani Orendain.

“My dad won the case and nhe never gets any single cents from Mr. Regala,” dagdag pa niya.

Ayon kay Orendain ay nasa mabuting kondisyon ang kanyang ama at wala itong sakit na iniinda.

Matatandaan na nahati bigla ang opinyon ng publiko kay Regala matapos itong magkaroon ng alitan sa mga artistang tumulong sa kanya noong siya’y nakitang nasa masama ng kondisyon ilang linggo na ang nakakaraan.

Sinabi ni Regala na wala siyang napakinabangan sa mga donasyon na ibinigay sa kanya kahit na nakapagpagamot ito sa isang tanyag na ospital at ngayo’y nasa mabuting kalagayan na.

The lawyer of a man who claimed that he was a trustee of the ‘gold bars’ left by former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. urged President Bongbong Marcos Jr. to open the deposits where the alleged wealth of their family has stored.

In an interview with The Daily Tribune, Atty. Efren Bugaring said that Marcos Jr. should allow them to withdraw the said gold bars which according to them, were stored in different banks in Southeast Asia.

The value of the alleged gold bars was so enormous that the trustee was ready to pay the heir of the Sultanate of Sulu to settle the $14.9-B Sabah award.

It can be recalled that a French Court ordered Malaysia to pay $14.9-B to the family members of the Sultanate of Sulu for allegedly not following the agreement between the Malaysian Government and Sultan Jamal Al Alam in 1876 to lease Sabah in exchange of annual payments.

However, Atty. Bugarin said that this problem may get a quick solution if Marcos Jr. would open the said gold deposit accounts.

“If President Marcos Jr. is intelligent enough he would initiate this effort to open the gold deposits of the trustee,” the lawyer said.

Aside from paying the heir of the Sultanate, the trustee was also willing to use the remaining gold bars to bring prosperity to the country.

“The trustee wants to monetize the gold to help spur economic growth in the country,”

The gold bars allegedly left by Marcos Sr. was considered as one of the most popular urban myths in the country.

According to the story, the Tallano family paid 192,000 tons of gold to Marcos.

One of the known claimants of Marcos gold was KING TIBURCIO VILLAMOR MARCOS TALLANO TAGEAN IV who claimed that he’s the brother of the current president.

However, according to the World Gold Council, there were only 201,296 tons of gold that was mined in history.

Until today, the alleged gold of Marcos was being used to lure people to pay for ‘certificates’ promising that they will receive a part of the former President’s wealth ‘someday’.

An artist couldn’t hide her happiness after her ‘Mini Padre Salvi’ keychain dolls were noticed by Juancho Trivino himself.

Juancho became popularly known for bringing life to Jose Rizal’s fictional novel character Padre Salve in the GMA television drama ‘Maria Clara and Ibarra’ which was based on Noli Me Tángere.

According to Regine Opulencia Rosca who owns Cielowish Handcrafts, she didn’t expect that Juancho would express interest in her craft and even be willing to buy hundreds of it.

In a photo shared by Rosca, it can be seen that Juancho asked if he could buy 150-200 pieces of Mini Padre Salvi keychain dolls.

She also shared her conversation with Juancho, saying that she was very thankful that her craft was being appreciated.

Aside from Juancho, several influencers including Donnalyn Bartolome also noticed the crafts of Rosca.

As of writing the photo posted by Rosca already reached thousands of shares in different social media platforms.

Internet celebrity and confessed scammer Xian Gaza gave his thoughts about the current issue faced by actor Luis Manzano after he became involved in an alleged scam worth P100-M.

It can be recalled that several investors of Flex Fuel Corporation claimed that the said company didn’t give them the profit they promised to them.

Luis also received charges because the company labeled him as their ‘Chairman/Owner.’

The complainants also said they invested millions of pesos because they thought they were really doing business with the actor.

However, Luis clarified that he was no longer part of the said company.

The actor also said that Ildefonso “Bong” Medel Jr. was managing the business.

According to Xian, there’s a possibility that Luis trusted Medel Jr., who became the ‘best man’ in the wedding of the actor and Jessy Mendiola.

“Nag-propose ng business idea si best man. Nasilaw ang Luis sa napakagandang projection. Sumang-ayon siya na maging front ng kumpanya. Si best man ang bahala sa buong operations and management.” Xian said.

“Itinayo ni best man ang mga negosyo. Yung actual income ay sobrang layo sa kanyang ipinangakong projection. Nadismaya ang mga investors. Binabawi ang kanilang mga kapital. Hindi maibalik ni best man dahil nagamit na nga sa mga negosyo. Ngayon, scammer na si best man.” he added.

Xian believed that some investors were calling it a ‘scam’ because the company didn’t reach its promised target profit.

“Ganyan naman talaga sa Pilipinas. Kapag successful yung negosyo mo, respetado ka ng lahat. Panginoon ka ng lahat. Pero kapag nag-fail yung negosyo mo, scammer ka na bigla.” he said.

The internet celebrity also believed that Luis may held liable because he still became part of the said company.

“Legally speaking, sasabit talaga si Luis kahit ano pa ang gawin niyang paghuhugas-kamay dahil naging parte siya ng kumpanya. Kahit hindi siya nakinabang financially eh naging accessory siya sa pagkuha ng investments.” he stated.
