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.

Former member of Its Showtime dance group ‘GirlTrends’ Dawn Change received criticisms on social media after she expressed support to singer Karylle who’s currently a host in the said noontime show.

It can be recalled that several fans of Karylle criticized Vice Ganda for allegedly disrespecting the singer in the middle of the show.

Several celebrities also expressed support for Karylle including Kim Atienza.

“Love you ate @anakarylle You are indeed a very nice person. Probably the nicest person I know in Showbiz. I will always cheer for you.” Dawn said.

While several fans of Dawn received the message of the dancer positively, some fans of Vice swarmed her comment section and called her ‘sawsaw’.

Some even mentioned the disappearance of the dancer in Its Showtime and the negative image of Girltrends that became viral because of their unsynchronized dance.

Meanwhile, Vice clarified that Karylle already accepted his apology.

They even appeared joyful to each other one day after the controversial episode and even joked about what happened.

Vice even took a swipe against some celebrities who used the issue to gain engagement on social media.

The talk show of Toni Gonzaga on AllTV reportedly held its last taping after just four months of being aired on national television.

According to the report of Politiko, the so-called ‘most powerful celebrity’ had its last taping day on February 3 and is already set to be replaced by another show.

It was also reported that several television shows including the talk show hosted by Karla Estrada, Mariel Rodriguez Padilla, and Ciara Sotto were also set to go off the air.

Meanwhile, there were also rumors that even the show of one of AllTV’s executives, Willie Revillame was set to end temporarily.

Several reports were saying that there were boycotts happening in the said programs because of the political beliefs of the hosts and also due to the fact that the channel was previously owned by ABS-CBN.

One example was the alleged difficulty of M.O.M.S to find a celebrity to be interviewed.

The said television network was owned by the Villars, one of the most powerful families in the country.

Meanwhile, the executives of AllTV vowed that they’re still going to pay the artists based on their contracts.

The full launch of AllTV last month was also postponed because of the delays in the construction of the permanent studio.

A second-year nursing student has been called a ‘hero’ by the netizens after she was spotted saving a life of a street vendor.

Angyl Faith Ababat, a student at the University of Cebu (UC) would receive a full scholarship grant after her heroic deed that received millions of views online.

Ababat received the scholarship award from the dean of the University’s College of Nursing and also from the president of UC Augusto Go.

The scholarship would shoulder Ababat’s expenses for her preparation for the board examination.

Several nursing groups were also planning to give recognition to Ababat’s deed.

The 21-year-old nurse has gone viral on social media after a CCTV footage showed her stopping the bleeding of a woman’s neck identified as Bernadeta Zamora.

In an interview with Manila Bulletin, Ababat told the netizens to avoid hesitating when someone was in need and they were knowledgeable enough to save them.

“I just want to tell them that it is okay to be scared, it is a normal reaction. But if you are able to help, especially if you are knowledgeable enough, then be a vessel to help and aid those in need,” she said.

A netizen who recorded and uploaded a video of former Commission on Elections commissioner Rowena Guanzon while confronting a tourist in Cadiz City was possibly to face charges.

In an interview, Guanzon believed that the netizen who posted the said video where she can be seen shouting and pointing to a man wanted her to be put in a bad light.

“The video was posted with malice as it did not capture the entire incident. What you saw in the video posted on Facebook is untruthful,” Guanzon said.

According to her, she had no choice but to confront the said man because he was already disturbing the peaceful festival of Dinagsa.

“I told them not to smoke on the sidewalk as someone could get hurt and all of a sudden someone shouted ‘is this your sidewalk,’ bumped my shoulder, and stepped on my left foot that has arthritis. So I got mad and shouted at that person,” she said.

In a Facebook post, Guanzon also shared another reason for the confrontation, claiming that the two people involved in the incident were already behind the bars.

The netizen who uploaded the video identified as Cyn Thia said the man who confronted Guanzon is a relative of her husband.

In her caption, she claimed that Guanzon allegedly used her cane against their relative.

However, Guanzon denied the accusations, saying that her cane was not considered as a weapon.

The netizen also refused to delete the said video despite the statement from Guanzon.

Cyn Thia has yet to give a comment on the possible charges she may face.

Pokwang became one of the top discussions on social media after she revealed more information about her separation from her former husband Lee O’Brian.

It can be recalled that Pokwang said that she felt that Lee didn’t really love her because of the treatment she received from the American actor and didn’t even help her to finance their needs.

In 2022, Pokwang announced her separation from O’Brian but no one really knows the cause of their failed relationship.

Some netizens called what happened to her Pokwang ‘karma’ because of her belief in politics.

Pokwang supported former Vice President Leni Robredo’s candidacy last year and even became critical with the supporters of the latter’s rival, President Bongbong Marcos Jr.

Some supporters of Marcos couldn’t stop themselves from making fun of the unfortunate love story of Pokwang, but the comedian didn’t hesitate to answer back.

“Kaya pala masyadong bitter ngayon. Pinagkaka-abalahan ang makipag away sa mga pro Marcos. Karma ba yan,” a netizen asked Pokwang.

“Hindi po karma ang tawag doon, nilinis ni God ang daanan ko patungo sa tamang tao! Ikaw pag namatayan kaba ng kamag anak mo karma agad?” Pokwang said.

Pokwang also told other single mothers like her not to think that what happened to their failed relationship was a result of karma.

“Hindi karma ang mabiyayaan ka ng mga anak na nagpapasaya at nagpapangiti sayo araw araw at dahilan ng pagsisikap mo sa buhay.” she said.

She also vowed to take care of Malia even if her family was not whole anymore.

“Natapos man ito sa di inaasahang panahon hindi dito hihinto ang pagiging nanay ko sa mga anak ko. at mas lalo kong minahal ang mga biyayang sakin ay binigay ng Panginoon.” she stated.

Inamin ng komedyante na si Pokwang na binalaan na siya noon ng namayapang ina na si Gloria Subong tungkol sa pakikipagrelasyon niya sa American actor na si Lee O’Brian.

Sa panayam sa kanya sa ‘Fast Talk with Boy Abunda’ ibinahagi ni Pokwang ang kanyang mga natutunan sa nangyari sa kanila ni Lee na sinabing tila hindi siya minahal.

Ayon sa kanya ay ilang beses niyang ipinagtanggol noon si Lee sa kanyang mga magulang lalo na sa kanyang ina.

“Naging matigas ang ulo ko. Ayaw ng nanay ko sa kanya,” sabi ng komedyante.

Ngunit matapos ang kanyang pagtatanggol ay tila hindi parin naging matibay ang kanilang relasyon kaya naman todo ang pagsisisi nito na hindi siya nakinig sa kanyang ina.

Nagbigay din siya ng kanyang mensahe sa namayapang ina.

“Ma, sorry. Sorry Ma, hindi ako nakinig sa’yo. Kailangan ko po ng yakap mo, Ma,” ani Pokwang.

Sa ngayon ay wala paring pahayag si Lee kung totoo nga ba ang mga paratang sa kanya ni Pokwang.

Matatandaan na nawalan na ng pag-asa si Pokwang na mabuo muli ang kanilang pamilya ni Lee dahil sa mayroon ng napapabalitang kinakasama ang nasabing aktor.

Inamin naman ni Pokwang na ipinagdasal niya noon ang pagkakabalikan nila ni Lee kahit na hindi naman ito nagta-trabaho para magkaroon ng ambag sa kanilang mga pangangailangan.

Pokwang couldn’t hide her emotion after being open for the first time about her problems with her former husband Lee O’Brian.

It can be recalled that Pokwang in recent days spilled some details against Lee, saying that Lee didn’t even make an effort to support their family financially.

In an interview with Boy Abunda, Pokwang revealed more details about her sacrifice just to keep her family whole.

According to the comedian, Lee didn’t even apologize to her during their six years of relationship.

“Since na naging kami, hindi ka nag-sorry sa akin. Hindi ko narinig yung word na sorry. For six years, alam niya ‘yan. ‘Pag nag-away kami, hindi ko naririnig sa kanya yung sorry ever.” Pokwang revealed.

Because of that, she felt that Lee never loved her.

“Feeling ko hindi niya ako minahal talaga.” she said.

She couldn’t handle her tears when she also talked about her efforts to keep her husband and even defended the foreigner to her parents.

“Parang na-balewala yung mga sinacrifice ko, pagtatanggol ko sa kanya sa pamilya ko. Kaya ako nasasaktan kasi sayang lahat yung mga paglaban ko para sa kanya.” she said.

She was even hoping that Lee would come back to her for the sake of her family, but it seems that the American actor was already happy with someone else.

“Umaasa ako bilang isang ina na maaayos pa kami. Kahit ang sakit-sakit na sa akin, kailangan kong mag-sinungaling kasi umaasa ako na aayusin pa niya, magkaka-ayos pa kami.” she said.

It can be remembered that Pokwang already told the netizens that she’s not jealous with the new girl of her husband.

Former It’s Showtime host Kim Atienza has gone viral on social media after expressing support for his former colleague Karylle after a viral exchange between the singer and Vice Ganda.

It can be recalled that several netizens expressed support to Karylle including Kuya Kim after the said incident.

“I love you Karylle 🙂 @anakarylle,” Kuya Kim said.

“@anakarylle is one of the kindest souls I know in showbiz. She will never talk negatively against anyone. I love Karylle.” he added.

The Kapuso host can also be seen liking several tweets about Karylle and against Vice.

Vice took a swipe against Kuya Kim?

On the Wednesday episode of Its Showtime, it can be seen that Karylle and Vice were talking to each other like nothing happened.

However, several netizens noticed that Vice was referring to someone who became also trending because of the issue.

Some of them believed that Vice was referring to Kuya Kim.

“Gusto nila yon…. Yun ang bet nila, yung magkaaway tayo kunyari. Tapos maraming magla-like-like para involved sila. Yes, trending din siya. Nakuha niya yung gusto niya. Ikaw talaga Kuya.” Vice said.

“Yes! Trending rin siya, nakuha niya ang gusto niya. Ikaw talaga Kuya!” (Kim Atienza?) Haha

Pasavogue talaga si Vice! pic.twitter.com/2JhEaBYqnB
