Actress Dina Bonnevie made another revelation against the actress Alex Gonzaga narrating how the latter treated her colleagues badly during the taping of their soap in 2011.

It can be recalled that Dina admitted in an interview with Boy Abunda that she was referring to Alex when she talked about an actress who’s so unprofessional and always late during their tapings.

Aside from being late, Dina also said that Alex was displaying a bad attitude towards her colleagues including Nadine Lustre who was just starting her career during that time.

Dina, Alex, and Nadine were part of TV5’s 2011 soap ‘PS I Love You’.

According to Dina, Alex expressed annoyance to Nadine several times when the young actress was doing some mistakes.

“You cannot last dito sa business kung ganyan ang attitude mo – na palagi kang late, dito ka pa maliligo sa set, you cannot even memorize your lines, hindi ka makaiyak,” Dina revealed.

“And then magagalit siya kay Nadine kapag mauunang umiyak si Nadine, eksena niya raw ‘yon,” she added.

Nadine is now considered a bigger actress than Alex now by some showbiz fans.

Alex repeatedly received criticism in the past few weeks because of the circulating rumors about her attitude behind the camera.

The criticisms amplified when she was captured smudging a cake to their waiter during her birthday party.

Netizens accused Arnell of using the government page to promote himself and flex his luxurious lifestyle.

They also criticized the government official because the post happened after his visit to the wake of OFW Jullebee Ranara.

“Bakit ganito ang government officials natin sa gitna ng kalunos-lunos na sinapit ng isa nating kababayan sa Kuwait.” netizen @raffymagno said.

“It is only in the Philippines where you can find a government official boasting about their Patek Philippe watch and post it in the official government agency’s official Facebook page. How distasteful! Es un sinvergüenza!” netiuzen @jecodraysbak commented.

Lian Paz remembers asking for diapers for her children as Christmas gift after being left by Paolo Contis

Lian Paz recollected the challenges she faced after being separated from her former husband Paolo Contis in 2012.

On her social media page, Lian shared a past post from 10 years ago where she asked the godfathers and godmothers of her children Xonia and Xalene for diapers.

The said post was a sign that Lian was struggling to provide for the needs of her children as it was reported that Paolo failed to send financial support since their separation.

According to her, she almost lost her trust in God for what happened to her family.

“10 years ago.. Yung panahon na ako lang mag isa sa lahat kaya ito ang mga wishlist ko.. noon ang daming worries, I was angry at God kaya hindi ako nagtiwala sa kanya. I did things my way and it led me to things I regret looking back,” Lian said.

However, she was thankful that she met her current parent John Cabahug who took care of her children.

“But just 1 day, I decided to call on him for help and he changed my life! (This was a month before I met @johncabahug87) It was not an easy path but his mercy and grace keeps on pouring, one day at a time until today, God, I love you! Thank you for never giving up on me. Thank you for your mercy and grace! You are AMAZING!” she stated.

It can be recalled that Paolo admitted in an interview last week that he didn’t send financial support to his children.

However, he claimed that he was saving for them.

“Sa sustento issue, I don’t give. Again, I have my reasons why, but I’m saving for them. I have some savings for them that hopefully, one day, I could give to them straight. It’s a mistake na nasimulan ko na hindi ako nakapagbigay, but ever since na nagtrabaho ako nang maayos, unti-unti akong naglalagay sa account para kay Xonia, kay Xalene, pati kay Summer,” the actor said.

 

Dina Bonnevie admits calling Alex Gonzaga ‘unprofessional’ for always being late

Veteran actress Dina Bonnevie finally admitted on January 31 that the actress she was referring to in her past interviews was Alex Gonzaga.

It can be recalled that Dina talked about her confrontation with Alex during a taping for a soap ‘P. S. I Love You’ in 2011.

“Hindi ko kayang mag-plastic. In the beginning pakikisamahan ko. But when I can’t take anymore, I have to tell the person ‘if you want to last in the industry, you have to be professional.’ Be mindful of your co-workers kasi hindi lang naman ikaw ang nagtatrabaho dito,” Dina said.

She also talked about the said actress that turned out to be Alex in 2018.

“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.

“Your call [time] is at 9 o’clock and you come down from your van at 12 o’clock na naka-pajama? Really? If you want to continue taping this soap like this, do it yourself.’… Lahat kami kasi — mga senior stars kami noon, talagang pinaghihintay niya kami lagi,” she added.

The issue between Dina and Alex resurfaced after the latter took a swipe against the veteran actress in her podcast, calling the former ‘Artistang Matanda’.

Dina admitted that she was referring to Alex during an interview with Boy Abunda.

“Yes, It was Alex Gonzaga,” Dina admitted.

“We were doing a teleserye then, and it didn’t come naman without reason. Kaya lang kasi, it didn’t only happen once. It happened once, twice, thrice, so hindi lang naman ako,” she said.

Dina even claimed that even the other colleagues of Alex noticed the attitude of the latter.

Hindi lang naman ako. There were other co-workers who were also getting erch about ‘yung working habit niya or you know, the way she was working with us,” she also said.

“So, napag-usapan na ako ang spokesperson… Gabby, Cheska, Iñigo, si Nadine Lustre we were altogether and nobody had the strength or the audacity to come up to her and to talk to her,” she added.

Alex has yet to give a response to Dina’s revelation.

Guro himas rehas ng hanggang anim na taon dahil sa pagpapakain ng basura sa estudyante

Isang guro ang maaring maghimas ng rehas ng hanggang anim na taon matapos pagtibayan ng Korte Suprema ng Pilipinas ang naging desisyon ng mababang korte laban sa kanya.

Sa nasabing desisyon, sinabi ng Korte Suprema na lumabag sa Republic Act 7610 ang guro na si Melany B. Garin dahil sa pagpapakain nito ng basura sa kanyang mga estudyante bilang paraan ng pagdidisiplina nito dahil sa makalat nilang classroom noong 2006.

Maliban pa dito ay pinagbabayad pa ng libo libong piso si Garin para sa kanyang mga biktima.

Ayon sa desisyon ay kailangang magbayad ni Garin ng P20,000 para sa moral damages, P20,000 para sa exemplary damages, P20,000 para sa temperate damages, at P15,000 naman para sa multa.

Naniniwala ang korte na ang ginawa ni Garin sa kanyang mga estudyante ay maaring makaapekto sa kanilang pag-iisip at kalusugan.

Ilan kasi sa mga ipinakin sa mga estudyante ay ang pinagtasahan ng lapis na maaring makalason.

“On this score, petitioner’s act of forcing the victim, AAA, and his classmates to place in their mouths pieces of trash, consisting of scraps of paper, pencil shaving, dirt, and candy wrappers from the classroom’s dustpan, undoubtedly debased, degraded and demeaned their intrinsic worth and dignity as children.” ayon sa Korte.

Ikinatuwa naman ng mga netizen ang naging desisyon ng korte lalo na’t hindi maituturing na pagdidisiplina ang ginawa ng uro.

“Hindi mo pwedeng sabihin na dinidisiplina mo ang mga bata kya ipapakain mo yung basura sa kanila! Maraming paraan ang pagdidisiplina kung nasa tama lang ang pag iisip mo.. Susme!” sabi ni netizen Twinkle Balvodi.

“Naku po kulang yata ang pataw sa titser na anim na taon, ay kung namatay yung bata, masakit para sa magulang na mawalan ng anak, habang buhay nilang iisipin yun, habang buhay dapat ipataw sa guro ng malasap nya ang disiplina sa sarili nya,” komento naman ni netizen Larjo Cadiente

“Hindi po mahalaga ang mag thank you ang mahalaga ay Ang makatulog ng maayos Ang new born baby ninyo need niya Yan. Inis na inis ako sa inyo bilang magulang ng pilit nyo siyang ginigising,” netizen Emmie Santos said.

“Sikat n sikat cla vloger marami cla taga hanga at. Isa dn ako lagi nanonood sa mga vlog nila mg Asawa. Pero mula ipanganak baby nila ginagawa nilang kasikatan ang baby kht d mgnda sa health ng bata.. Mas inuuna ata nila ung kasikatan kisa sa kalusogan ng baby,” netizen Dimaraw Simnor commented.

Another parents also seen a video of the two feeding water to Baby Meteor which according to them was extremely prohibited for newborn babies.

Vlogger Mommy Dyelie reminded Whamos and Antonette Gail that feeding water to Baby Meteor might cause intoxication.

“Kung ikaw ay nagpapasuso, ang breastmilk po ay may 88% water. Kaya hindi na kailangan ng karagdagang tubig ni baby, ang gatas natin ay nagbabago ayon sa panahon at pangangailangan ni baby. Mas nagiging malabnaw ang gatas natin upang maiwasan ang dehydration. Sa mga nakaformula naman, hindi rin kailangan ng karagdagang tubig dahil ang bawat scoop ay may katumbas na tamang sukat ng tubig.” Dyelie said.

Other netizens also urged the couple to stop featuring their baby to their new contents because it just might just cause unncessesary stress to the baby.

One of the netizens who criticized the celebrities was MJ Quiambao Reyes, saying that the two didn’t respect the privacy of their neighbor.

“Tsk! What I’m seeing is more like ignorance than patriotism. For the life of me, your neighbor simply celebrated Chinese New Year. Did you even ask their permission first before zooming in and showing their residence in public?” Quiambao said.

Another netizen, Charie De also reminded Ellen and Derek to be respectful with their neighbor if they wanted their countrymen to be respected in other countries.

“CNY will end only this weekend. Respect begets respect. If u want ur countrymen overseas to be respected, do so with mix races celebrating their holidays in ur homeland – so long as they don’t give u harm.” De said.

However, some netizens also defended Ellen and Derek reminding the public about the actions of China in West Philippine Sea.

“Irespeto nio naman ang China na inagawan ng palaisdaan ang mga mangingisdang Pilipino.” netizen Kapamilya Star commented.

 

Pokwang criticizes her former husband Lee O’Brian: “Mangagamit ‘yang tao na yan!”

Comedian Pokwang went ballistic against the defenders of her former husband Lee O’Brian.

In some Instagram comments, it can be seen that Pokwang was trying to argue with the netizen who blamed her for what happened to their relationship with the foreign actor.

However, Pokwang made it clear that Lee was a ‘user’ and only had a relationship with people who would benefit him.

“Akala siguro papatulan sila ng kano nayan akhit magpapansin ka araw araw sa post niya mangagamit yang taong yan, hahahaha wala ka pera!” Pokwang told the netizen.

“Anak nga niya walang suporta 5years!! Inyo nayan saksak mo sa ngalangala mo!” she added.

Some netizens already suspected that Pokwang was only ‘bitter’ about her failed relationship with Lee, but the comedian denied it.

“Hindi daw siya bitter. Paano pa kaya pag bitter siya?” a netizen who followed the issue said.

“Lumabas pagka palengkera ni Pokie. Dapat walang ganyan. May pinagsamahan kayo at ama pa rin ng anak mo yan. Kung wala yung kano na yan wala kang magandang anak. And ikaw ang reason kaya nag settle dito si Kano. Alam mo beforehand na striving actor lang yan sa Amerika. Inuwe mo dito syempre wala naman yan pagkikitaan dito kundi umekstra lang.” another netizen commented.

Lee has yet to give a response to the accusations of Pokwang.

It can be recalled that Pokwang started to criticize her former husband when she discovered that he was already dating another girl.

“Wala na po,  may nilalandi na siya. Hindi nag-effort na lunikin ang pride chicken para kay Tisay,” Pokwang said.

Family of OFW Jullebee Ranara not willing to accept any ‘blood money’ offer from former employer

The family of the slain Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) Jullebee Ranara already decided not to accept any ‘blood money’ from the camp of the suspect.

During the SMNI program ‘Gikan Sa Masa, Para sa Masa’ on January 30, 2023, former President Rodrigo Duterte has been informed by Ranara family that they were only seeking justice for what happened to Jullebee and not planning to accept any money from her former employer.

“Napakalinaw po ng buong pamilya [Ranara], iisa lang po ang sigaw nila, hustisya lang.. Wala po sa usapan, wala sa kanilang isip na tumanggap ng kahit anong offer o blood money,” Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) chief Arnell Ignacio told the former President.

Paying blood Money or restitution is the final straw for the convicted in Kuwait to escape capital punishment.

The family of the victim may choose to spare the convicted if they’re willing to accept the restitution.

It can be remembered that in 2020, the Philippines also rejected the blood money offered by the camp of employers who ended the life of OFW Jeanelyn Padernal Villavende.

What happened to Villavende pushed the Philippines to ban the employment of OFW in Kuwait which ended after a successful dialog between the Philippines and the said middle eastern country.

Meanwhile, the current administration said that they’re not planning to implement an employment ban in Kuwait because the Kuwaiti government was being cooperative with them.

However, Sen. Raffy Tulfo wanted to push for another deployment ban.

“I want to send a strong message to Kuwaitis because they have repeatedly disrespected our countrymen. Let us not deploy for now until they sit with us and agree on whatever we want for the welfare of our OFWs.” the senator said.

Pinerahan lang! Pokwang accuses her former husband Lee O’Brian of being ‘palamunin’: Nagising lang ako sa katotohanan”

Comedian Marietta Subong, also known as ‘Pokwang’ made a big revelation about why she got separated from her former partner Lee O’Brian.

In her Instagram comments, Pokwang replied to a netizen blaming her for their breakup.

According to her, she realized that for six years she was providing all of their needs without Lee’s assistance.

She even warned the netizen not to interfere with her private life or else she will also face charges like Lee.

“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.

At first, Pokwang denied that their breakup was caused by financial problems but her recent admission confirmed the rumors.

“Una sa lahat walang third party, wala in all fairness kay Papang. Hindi rin pera, kagaya ng mga lumalabas na pera. Hindi ganoon, walang ganoon. Siguro napagod lang kami,” Pokwang said in an interview last year.

It can be recalled that Pokwang took swipes several times recently against Lee after the foreign actor was reportedly dating someone again.

“Nang makita mo pinalit ng ex mo. Huh? Akala koba ako na ang chaka? Bwahahahahaha ang cheap!!!!” Pokwang said.

As of writing, Lee has yet to give a response to Pokwang’s accusation.

The two were currently in a co-parenting setup for their child Malia.

But it seems that after the accusations released by the comedian, the two may not cross paths temporarily.
