Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Commissioner Rowena Guanzon is set to file a disbarment case, unjust vexation complaint, and damage suit against Attorney Ferdinand Topacio.

In a tweet, Guanzon announced that Topacio “mocked” her for having Alzheimer’s disease.

She revealed that her mother who passed away also suffered from the same disease.

“My mother , who had Alzheimer’s disease, passed away at 95. F Topacio mocked me for having the same disease and vexed and annoyed me to no end through Twitter and FB . I have filed a complaint against him for Unjust Vexation in Bacolod,” Guanzon said.

“Yes , I am also filing a Disbarment complaint against F Topacio . After my mother’s 40th day,” she added.

“I’m also filing a damage suit against F Topacio in my home city, Cadiz,” 

Guanzon asked her followers to inform her if Topacio tried to mock her again.

Guanzon might be referring to her discussion with Topacio on Twitter in April.

“Then you must be having early-onset Alzheimer’s. I was there several times,” said Topacio.

“Now that is an insult . My mother has Alzheimers and that’s not taken lightly,” Guanzon told Topacio.

Topacio then advised Guanzon to take a rest because  she possibly lack of sleep.

Yesterday, Topacio said that Guanzon should resign to her position if she’s ‘vexed’ by his remarks.

“If a government official as high as her is vexed by remarks coming from other side to the point where she has to file charges, is a solid proof that she is not fit for the position. If she really want to battle it she must resign first,” Topacio said.

Two months ago, Topacio who’s an active social media user captured the attention of the netizens after he challenged Sharon Cuneta to sue him for his comments against Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan.

Jobert Sucaldito addresses Nikki Valdez after she compares ABS-CBN issue to PhilHealth: ” Iba na ang isyu, pilit mo pa ring idinikit!”

Former DZMM radio host and entertainment writer Jobert Sucaldito questioned Kapamilya actress Nikki Valdez after the latter compared the issue of her home network ABS-CBN and Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth)

In a tweet on August 8, Valdez pointed out that executives of ABS-CBN didn’t miss any congressional hearings while the officials of PhilHealth are already expressing their intention not to attend the senate hearing that would investigate the alleged corruption of the government-owned corporation.

“Yung mga boss po namin sa ABSCBN present sa lahat ng hearings. Mga walang tulog at pahinga maipagtanggol lang ang kumpanya namin. Sa Philhealth di pa nagsisimula ang hearing, maysakit na yung mga tatanungin?” Valdez said.

As a response, Sucaldito said that he was wondering why many people were criticizing the Duterte administration due to the alleged corruption activities discovered in PhilHealth.

According to him, people should wait for the result of the investigation first.

He also told Valdez that the issue of PhilHealth is different from what happened to the ABS-CBN franchise renewal attempt.

“Hoy, mali kayo – malayong magkaiba iyon. Like itong comment ni Nikki Valdez (sa totoo lang, love ko ang batang ito pero I’d like her to understand a bit) na kesyo ang mga boss daw niya sa ABS-CBN ay kahit pagod at walang tulog ay kumpleto ang attendance sa hearing ng franchise pero itong taga-Philhealth daw hindi pa nag-uumpisa ang hearing ay nagkasakit na- meaning, hindi na makakadalo nang personal,” Sucaldito said.

“So, anong isyu niyan sa ginagawang imbestigasyon ng government? Sa palagay mo ba palalagpasin ito ng mga kongresista? Hindi sila mga b*b*, Nikki dear. They will rule on this – maghintay ka lang. Sa palagay mo ba makakaligtas ang mga ito, most especially si Gen. Morales, kina Congressman Marcoleta, Remulla and Defensor? Huwag mo munang pangunahan dear.” he added.

“If you want, sundan mo na lang si Gabby Lopez sa Switzerland or kung saan man siya tumakbo dahil mukhang di ka pa naka-move on sa pagkasara ng ABS-CBN. Iba na ang isyu, pilit mo pa ring idinikit. Kaloka!” he also said.

Sucaldito became a critic of ABS-CBN after he was suspended because of raising an issue about a Kapamilya actress’s love life.

He worked for the ABS-CBN-owned station for 17 years.

“Malaking sampal!” TV5 denies offering Vice Ganda and Coco Martin to join their network

Columnist Lolit Solis claimed that TV5 never made an offer to Kapamilya top stars, Vice Ganda and Coco Martin.

In an Instagram post, Solis said that Perci Intalan, the head of Entertainment of TV5 denied the news that they’re trying to invite Vice Ganda and Coco Martin to work for their network.

It can be remembered that TV5 announced that they’re going to revive its entertainment content.

The camp of Vice Ganda has been long rumored to be negotiating with TV5 while there’s also some information circulating the Coco Martin’s Ang Probinsiyano would be aired via cable company Cignal.

“Nakakaloka naman na sinabi ng TV5 na wala silang alok kay Coco Martin at Vice Ganda, Salve. Kalat na kalat kasi nuon una na baka sa TV5 gumawa ng bagong programa si Vice Ganda, at iyon Probinsiyano daw baka mapanuod sa Cignal, pero heto, pinabulaan ni Perci Intalan na siyang namamahala ng programming ng TV5,” Solis said.

Solis described the denial of Instalan as a ‘big slap’.

“Parang isang malaking sampal naman na nasabi na walang alok ang istasyon sa 2 Kapamilya stars, para siguro mahinto na iyon kumakalat na balita na inalok at tinanggihan daw ang alok. So klaro, walang alok , at walang balak alukin. Pero ang tutoo, wide open sila para sa gusto pumasok sa bakuran nila,” she said.

Vice Ganda previously denied his possible transfer to TV5, contradicting the statement of some sources, while Coco Martin remained silent on the rumors.

Meanwhile, TV5 and Cignal TV CEO Manuel V. Pangilinan said that they’re ready to hire talents from Kapamilya Network after the said broadcasting giant failed to get a 25-year franchise extension from the Congress.

“We are revving up our entertainment content creation and will need creatives, talents, directors, scriptwriters, cameramen, etc.,” Pangilinan said.

Zsa Zsa Padilla urges President Duterte to investigate corrupt officials: “Ano na PhilHealth? Ibalik nyo ang pera!”

Actress Zsa Zsa Padilla urged President Rodrigo Duterte to investigate the alleged corruption happening in Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth).

In a tweet, Padilla said that the people were working to contribute to the government-owned corporation so they would not worry about the medical expenses.

She then urged the officials of PhilHealth to return the money to the people.

“Para yan sa kalusugan ng taong bayan na pinagtrabahuhan. Ano na, Philhealth?! Ibalik nyo ang pera!!!” said Padilla.

Padilla was hoping that President Duterte would investigate the issue and punish the people responsible.

“Imbestigahan yan ng maiigi at sana ipakita sa atin ng ating Pangulo na talagang maimbestigahan ng maiigi at maipakulong ang mga magnanakaw!!! President Duterte, parang awa nyo na,” she said.

She then gave a comment on Director Dan Villegas tweet, who asked why the ‘internet trolls’ are silent on the issue of PhilHealth while they’re actively talking before about the ABS-CBN franchise.

“Affected kasi lahat. Para lang tayong naghulog sa bulsa ng mga magnanakaw. At pag tayo nagkasakit, waley,” she said.

Several high officials of PhilHealth faced charges because of alleged corruption according to PACC.

“There’s no one big mafia in PhilHealth but rather many groups in regions. It’s like territorial. If you remember the PDAF scam… it’s similar to this. In every region, someone has a territory because the system allows fraudulent claims to exist,” Presidential Anti-Corruption Commissioner Greco Belgica said.

“The bulk of the transactions of PhilHealth happens at the regional level. If you remember, the entire board was fired by the President last August and yet corruption still persisted in PhilHealth…That’s really where the fraud is happening.” he added.

Belgica also cited that P154 billion has been already lost by PhilHealth because of overpayment in 2013.

PhilHealth former anti-fraud officer Thorsson Montes Keith also claimed that P15-B pesos were pocketed by the insurance corporation’s executive committee.

“Naniniwala po ako base sa aking imbestigasyon na ang perang nawaldas at ninakaw ay humigit kumulang P15 billion,” he told Senators.

According to him, the officials wanted to recover the money they corrupted by increasing the contributions of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs).

Loyalists of Norman Mangusin, popularly known as Francis Leo Marcos (FLM) was urging the internet celebrity and self-proclaimed businessman to run in the 2022 elections.

In a video posted by Youtube channel Macmac Pablo FLM, he showed a survey showing that some netizens wanted Marcos to run in any position in the next elections.

“Ako po ay isa sa susuporta kay FLM kung maisipan niya na tumakbo, bakit kasi po unang una alam niyo po na laging sinasabi ni FLM na wala sa kanya ‘yung politics,” said Pablo.

However, Pablo said that he’s not really in favor of letting Marcos run for President because he feels that the internet celebrity who’s currently facing multiple charges, like illegal recruitment and estafa has not yet ready to lead the country to glory.

“Sa akin lamang, parang hindi pa po siya handa (Marcos) sa pagiging Presidente, dahil hindi pa po siya nakakaranas makaupo sa kahit anong posisyon ng gobyerno, hindi pa po siya nakakapasok sa kahit anong sangay ng gobyerno,” he said.

“So naisip ko, kung sa Presidente po ay baka hindi po maging maganda ang tema mga tao sa kanya, baka pwede siguro sa medyo mababa, baka pwede siya sa Vice President,” he added.

“So kung manalo si FLM bilang Vice President, aba napaka galing na ka-tandem ng isang Presidente ang isang Francis Leo Marcos, nakita niyo naman noong panahon ng pandemya ay itinulong ang sarili niyang pera, hindi siya humingi ng donasyon, hindi siya nanghingi ng tulong sa kanyang mga kakilala,” he also said despite the evidence that Marcos asked for donations using Volunteers against the poverty foundation.

Some fans of Marcos insisted to let the internet celebrity to run as President and possibly rival the bet of the Duterte administration and the opposition.

The internet celebrity was currently under the custody of BJMP.

This is not the first time that someone was being pushed to run for national election despite being detained.

The camp of Marcos has yet to comment on the request of their loyalist.

Former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV won the senatorial election in 2007 despite being detained for rebellion and mutiny charges.

Actor Robin Padilla responded to former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV criticism against him.

On Thursday, Trillanes accused Padilla of giving problems in the country because he supported President Rodrigo Duterte whom he called ‘crazy’.

“Sbi ni Robin, mgtrabaho nlng dw at wg na mgreklamo. Ano? #1 na tyo sa pnkmraming covid cases sa SE Asia, hbang prang nglalaro lng si duterte at di alam ang gngawa. Bsta, isa ka sa salarin kung bkt nging presidente yang siraulong yan. Mlaking perwisyo ang dinulot nyo sa Pilipinas,” said Trillanes.

Padilla denied that he’s urging the public to focus on working, saying that he only wanted to convince the people to become an army reservist instead of complaining every day about what’s happening in the country.

He also reminded the former Senator that he’s the one who started many troubles in the country after he joined two Coup d’état against the government in 2003 and 2007.

“Mr Trillanes, unang una wala akong sinabi na magtrabaho. pangalawa schoolmate sa Siena College Kung sa pagiging perwisyo sa Inangbayan ay nagunguna ka sa dami ng kudeta mo na lahat ay surrenderie ka naapektuhan lang ang economia ng Pilipinas kaya talo na naman ang taongbayan pero ikaw ay panalo dahil naging senador ka parang nagoyo mo lang ang ibang mga Pnoy sa personal mong agenda katulad ng ginagawa mo pa rin ngayon,” said Padilla.

The action star urged Trillanes not to drag him in politics because he’s not planning to run in 2022, unlike the former Senator, according to Padilla.

Padilla also claimed that Trillanes was only angry with Duterte because he rejected him as running mate in the 2016 presidential elections elections.

“Pakiusap wag mo ako idamay sa away ninyo sa Pulitika dahil hindi ako pulitiko at lalong hindi ako kandidato sa 2022 na katulad mo. I call myself revolutionary because i do not join governments i fight governments and that is what president duterte and this government is doing fighting the system of government and its oligarchs that was founded by the Magdalos of Emilio Aguinaldo,” he said.

“Talagang outside the normal ang ginagawa ni PRRD dahil talagang kumakasa siya sa lahat ng pinaglilingkuran mo. Hindi ka lang napagbigyan ni mayor prrd na maging vice president candidate niya nag huramentado kana at parang kang bata na nagngangangawa. Puro batikos puro ka reklamo puro ka hamon dito hamon don napalaban kana ba talaga?” he added.

Padilla then said that it’s his right to choose the politicians he wanted to support.

He also told Trillanes that he stopped criticizing the former Senator as respect to the latter’s family.

“Hindi kita inaano o binabangga magmula ng hindi kana senador bilang respeto sa iyong pamilya kayat umayos ka rin,” he said.

The first wife of actor John Regala urged the other relatives of the actor to come out and help the latter who’s currently suffering from liver cirrhosis.

In an interview with GMA 7’s 24 Oras, Regala’s first wife, Aurina Alvarez Manansala-Hunt was trying to give moral support to the actor who’s currently in hospital.

Manansala-Hunt was currently living in the United States but she’s still doing her best to help the actor despite being far away.

John Regala and his first wife Aurina Alvarez Manansala-Hunt

“Makikita mo pa rin na talagang gusto niya pa ring lumaban ngayon. Kasi before talagang malungkot na siya eh. So ever since noon, two to three days or almost one week iyak ako nang iyak. Noong napasok na siya sa ospital talagang sabi ko lakasan niya loob niya,” she said.

“So hopefully, ’yong mga ibang pamilya, kamag-anak tawagan siya para may a little bit of support … para pampalakas ng sigla niya,” she added.

Regala claimed in an interview that his recent partner left him because he’s broke already.

Last month, Regala has gone viral on social media after he was spotted in a frail condition.

Celebrities and fans expressed their support to Regala who said that couldn’t eat properly anymore for two weeks already because of his medical condition.

His previous condition was so bad that he almost gave up in life.

“Meron po akong liver cirrhosis at may tubig na po ang aking tiyan. Kailangan matanggal na po sabi ng doktor eh ayaw ko na pong ipatanggal dahil sa totoo lang po gusto ko na pong sumunod sa mama ko,” said Regala.

Trillanes slams Robin Padilla for supporting Duterte: “Isa ka sa salarin kung bakit naging Presidente yang siraulong yan!”

Former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV slammed actor Robin Padilla for his post urging the people to help the country instead of complaining.

In a tweet, Trillanes accused Padilla of urging the people to work and stop complaining about the current state of the country.

Trillanes believed that President Rodrigo Duterte was clueless about handling the crisis in the country that’s why he questioned Padilla why he wanted the people to stop criticizing the government.

“Sbi ni Robin, mgtrabaho nlng dw at wg na mgreklamo. Ano? #1 na tyo sa pnkmraming covid cases sa SE Asia, hbang prang nglalaro lng si duterte at di alam ang gngawa,” Trillanes said.

The fierce critic of the current administration also blamed Padilla for supporting President Duterte whom he called ‘crazy’.

“Bsta, isa ka sa salarin kung bkt nging presidente yang siraulong yan. Mlaking perwisyo ang dinulot nyo sa Pilipinas,” he said.

Trillanes was probably reacting to the post of Padilla four days ago, urging the people to apply as a reservist of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) instead of complaining.

“Imbes na mabuhay at magising ka araw araw sa pagrereklamo at kakabatikos ABAY kumilos ka para makatulong at mapakinabangan una ng sarili mo, mga pamilya mo at ng Inangbayan. Hindi ito ang oras ng pamumulitika! Ito ang oras ng pagtulong sa gobyerno maging ano man ang kulay mo. Isaksak niyo sa baga niyo at puso niyo na ang pinag uusapan ngayon at ang nakataya ngayon ay ang SURVIVAL ng ating LAHI at INANGBAYAN PILIPINAS. Join the Reservist “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country,” Padilla said.

This is not the first time that Padilla and Trillanes criticized each other on social media.

In 2018, Padilla waited outside the senate to convince Trillanes to surrender himself to the authorities after President Duterte declared the amnesty given to the latter as void.

“Labas na diyan pare, wag kang mag tago sa saya ng Senado!” Padilla said in his live video.
