Kris Aquino took a swipe against the movie of Director Darryl Yap.

In a lengthy social media post, Kris remembered her father former Sen. Ninoy Aquino Jr. who’s a subject of Yap’s movie Maid in Malacanang and his next project MoM.

Kris highlighted the selfless love of her father for his countrymen.

“Dad, that’s what sets you apart- your charisma came from the fact everyone who was in your company felt special; innately Ninoy Aquino knew how to make it all about others & never about himself. Yes you were a great writer & speaker BUT more than that naka focus ka sa mga taong kaharap mo…unselfish talaga yung pagmamahal mo sa kapwa Pilipino,” Aquino said.

She then said that no historical revisionism would change what her father did to his country.

“Subukan mang baguhin ang kwento ng kahapon, it’s from you i learned to NEVER show anger, NEVER reveal your weakness. The child of Ninoy & Cory, the last still carrying their last names, learned from both: Faith in God, Patience, protecting your Integrity, standing firm w/ your words, Trustworthiness & caring for all Filipinos regardless of chosen ‘color,’ and sharing w/ those in need- those are values I hold on to & do my best to instill in my sons. God sees all & that’s what matters,” the host said.

Popular food content creator Vanjo Merano a.k.a ‘Panlasang Pinoy’ narrated their disappointing experience during their 15-hour journey to the Philippines.

In his vlog, Merano couldn’t hide his disappointment with his experience traveling back to the country.

According to Merano, his family traveled to the Philippines from San Francisco, California via Philippine Airlines.

During their travel, they also encountered delays after staff from PAL informed them that some of the amenities in their business class seat were broken.

However, Merano encountered a more serious problem after they discovered that some of the items inside their luggage went missing.

He said that the luggage owned by the girlfriend of his son was opened and some of the items like perfume and chocolates were missing already.

PAL already offered assistance to them and vowed to return the expenses for the items that went missing.

However, Merano still expressed dismay because of the inconvenience that they experienced.

He’s also worried that they’re not the only people experiencing this kind of problem.

“Wala kami pinagbibintangang sinuman o saanman dahil wala kaming ebidensya. Kinukwento ko lang ang nangyari sa amin,” Merano said.

“Iyong experience sa PAL, wala iyon, nagawan naman ng solusyon, eh. Ang di lang namin matanggap, iyong mga nagnanakaw.. for sure, ‘di lang samin iyan nangyayari,” he added.

The content creator also made it clear that they arrived at three airports so people should not assume that their items were stolen during their landing at NAIA.

The video already reached 18,000,000 views as of writing.

Some netizens also shared the same experience during their travel to the Philippines.

The Department of Transporation (DOTr) and the Manila International Airport Authority have yet to give a comment about the incident.

A taxi driver cautioned his friends and the netizens after he encountered a female foreign national who allegedly didn’t pay him.

Netizen Paolong Polizon posted the photo of the still unidentified foreign national who hailed his taxi and even requested several things from him but in the end, didn’t pay him.

He claimed that when he was already asking for payment, the woman suddenly acted unusual and started to damage his car.

In a video posted by Polizon, it can be seen that the woman was trying to get away with the taxi driver and kicking the vehicle at the same time.

Polizon couldn’t do anything and even the security guard who was present during the incident was only watching the two argue.

“Pag minamalas-malas ka talaga sa biyahe,” the taxi driver said.

The woman can also be seen trying to get the service firearm of the guard.

In the end, the security guard suggested to the taxi driver to just leave.

According to Polizon, the incident happened on January 23 and he decided not to file a complaint anymore.

He also expressed disappointment to the guard saying that it didn’t do anything to control the woman even if she already tried to grab his firearm.

The nationality of the woman was not confirmed.

Netizens praised the taxi driver for remaining calm during the said incident.

The Sandiganbayan denied the appeal of comedian and former Quezon City councilor Roderick Paulate over his conviction for allegedly hiring ghost employees during his term.

It can be recalled that Paulate was sentenced by the court to at least 10.5 years up to 62 years in confinement after they found that the former councilor hired ‘non-existent’ employees.

He was also found liable for the falsification of documents.

According to the decision of Sandiganbayan, Paulate failed to ‘raise new material allegations that would persuade the court to reconsider or reverse its previous finding of guilt’.

“Moreover, the arguments raised by the accused have already been considered and passed upon in the assailed decision,” the court added.

In the said decision, they found that Paulate’s employees had no records of birth, no NBI clearance, and no residence.

He was also ordered to pay thousands of pesos to the Quezon City Government.

Paulate remained silent during his legal battle and only made a short message to his friend saying that he believed in ‘prayers’.

His colleagues in showbusiness including Cristy Fermin and Carmi Martin expressed their support to Paulate believing that the comedian was innocent and had no bad record involving money in the past.

As of writing, Paulate has yet to give any comment on the decision of the court.

Actress Bea Alonzo set the record straight to the public that there’s no chance for her to be friends with her ex-boyfriend Gerald Anderson.

In an interview with ‘King of Talk’ Boy Abunda, Bea was asked if she’s willing to forget the past and build a friendship with Gerald.

However, Bea made a fierce statement, saying that she does not trust Gerald after being ‘ghosted’ by the actor.

“I can never be friends with somebody I cannot trust and somebody who doesn’t take responsibility for his actions,” Bea said.

It can be remembered that Bea and Gerald ended their relationship in 2019 because of an alleged third party.

The word ‘ghosting’ became familiar with the netizens during that time after Bea said that Gerald didn’t even talk to her months before their breakup.

“Before it happened to me, I didn’t even know that, na may ganun pala. Na may ganung terminology for it. Ghosting. I didn’t know,” Bea said in a past interview.

“I felt like garbage. I felt like I was worthless. So I guess iyon yung resentment ko, more than just the ghosting part. It was making me feel na I was worthless. And I believed it.” she also said.

It was rumored during that year that Gerald was having a relationship with actress Julia Barretto, but the two denied it.

However, in 2021 the two confirmed that they were already in a relationship.

Gerald said that he was still hoping that Bea would forgive him someday.

“More siguro kay Bea. Huwag na po tayo siguro mandamay ng ibang tao. I really pray, I really hope she will find it in her heart to forgive what happened, forgive me. Nag-ho-hope lang ako.” Gerald said in an interview with Abunda.

Millions of netizens were celebrating the birth of the baby boy of influencers Whamos Cruz and Antonette Gail.

They received thousands of congratulatory messages from the netizens.

After one day, they gladly shared Meteor’s face and most netizens said that the baby had more resemblance to his mother.

However, internet celebrity Christian Albert ‘Xian’ Gaza raised the eyebrows of the netizens after expressing relief that baby meteor didn’t look like his father.

“Hallelujah praise the Lord Jesus Christ!” Xian said after being informed about Meteor’s appearance.

Whamos didn’t show any negative reaction to Xian’s comment and even invited the internet celebrity to Meteor’s Christening.

However, some netizens expressed dismay over Xian’s comment.

“Salbahe naman , anak nya yun alangan naman iba mukha .Wag idamay bata sa prejudices grabe.” netizen Margaret Seeckts said.

“Maraming gwapo jan salbahe naman, at saka hindi naman pangit c whamoscruz itong mundo natin mapang husga talaga,” Felicidad Baya remarked.

It can be recalled that Xian also received negative comments from the netizens after making a comment to Whamos after the influencer announced the pregnancy of Antonette Gail.

“JUSKO HUWAG NAMAN SANA NIYA MAGING KAMUKHA ANG BATA IN JESUS NAME,” Xian said.

Whamos responded to Xian’s post saying that he was also wishing the same thing.

“Yon nga din boss eh. Ayaw ko din talaga maging kamukha ko yung baby. Ang sagwa,” Whamos stated.

After only two weeks, a television network in Indonesia decided to stop the airing of ABS-CBN’s Darna.

According to Sobat TV Indonesia, the possible decision of the television network ANTV to end its airing of Darna was because of the ratings it was receiving.

It was rumored that Darna was going to be replaced with a local program titled ‘Garis Tangan’

Some reports also said that Darna was not fit to be watched by the majority of Indonesian fans who were followers of Islam.

Indonesia was known to be a conservative country and it’s known for regulating every piece of content being aired on television.

It can be recalled that Darna’s costume was blurred several times because it’s considered as ‘revealing’ to the Indonesian watchers.

“May pagkakataon pa raw na hindi na makita ang bidang aktres na si Jane de Leon na nakasuot ng Darna costume dahil sa sobrang pag-blur sa kanya sa show,” @holaphofficial said.

As of writing, ABS-CBN has yet to release a statement on the decision of ANTV to stop the airing of Darna.

It can be remembered that fans of ABS-CBN celebrated the airing of Darna in Indonesia, saying that it was evidence that the said program was well-received internationally.

Street performer and mime artist Jhonwel Reyes who was popularly known by his aliases Tito Noel’ and ‘Green Soldier’ made a statement after receiving criticisms for the past few days.

It can be remembered that Reyes received negative comments on social media after he answered back to a netizen who was only making jokes about the color of his baby.

The issue started when Reyes posted a maternity photo of his wife and some netizens jokingly asked if his baby would become green also like his famous costume.

Instead of riding to the joke as comedians do usually, Reyes took the gag seriously and even criticized the netizens for saying something about his baby.

He even asked the netizens to stop making jokes about his baby.

“Hindi ko alam kung bakit masyadong maraming apektado masyado, ang daming kumakalat na hindi magagandang salita sa picture namin ng mahal ko,” Reyes said in now-deleted video.

“Gusto ko lang sabihin na sana magkaroon po tayo ng simpleng respeto sa kasiyahan ng bawat tao. Syempre napakalinaw ‘yung anak ko, normal na tao yun syempre, naka-custome lang naman ako eh, alangan naman na maging iba talaga ang kulay ng anak ko,” he added.

However, instead of following Reyes more netizens started to criticize the internet celebrity and some called him ‘onion-skinned’ and a ‘crybaby’.

He then responded to the criticisms telling the netizens to avoid doing mistakes.

Reyes also apologized for what he did but he couldn’t stop himself from saying that one mistake was enough for the netizens to forget how many times he made them laugh.

“IWASAN PO NATING MAGKAMALI SA BUHAY.  ANDAAN ANG HIRAP MAHUSGAHAN MASKI ANUPANG MAGANDANG BAGAY NA NAGAWA MO O ANUMANG KABUTIHANG NAIDULOT MO SA KAPWA MO, KAPAG NAGKAMALI KA KAHIT ISANG BESES LANG LAHAT NG YUN WALA NA. BURADO NA,” he said.

“IYAKIN NA KUNG IYAKIN TAMA NA PO, AYOKO NG MAKIPAG SABAYAN MAS LALO NG PUMAPANGIT ANG ALON. Pero kung jan kayo nagiging masaya sa pandudurog sakin Sige lang po. Basta ako ayoko na pass na tlga ako,” he added.

Reyes became popular on social media after his street performances became viral on social media.

During the peak of his career, thousands of netizens went to watch him personally and made him earn thousands of pesos every day.
