Child star Carlo Mendoza, also known as ‘Gigil Kid, ‘ couldn’t hide his disappointment anymore with the administration of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.

In a video, Carlo was seen giving a speech in front of the attendees of a rally at the EDSA Shrine.

According to him, he was disappointed by the administration’s implementation of law and order in the country, including eradicating banned substances.

Carlo narrated that his family was ruined by his father, who was a ‘user.’

He claimed that the effects of illegal substances led his father to do something to one of their family members.

“Dahil sa dr*ga na pinapalaganap mo, ginah-sa ang ate ko nang dahil sa bisyo,” said Carlo. “Yun ang dahilan bakit nagawa ng tatay ko ang nagawa niya sa ate ko,”

Carlo then asked PBBM to resign because of his poor performance.

“Nananawagan ako sayo sa republika ng Pilipinas, sa Malacanang, na uulitin ko, mag-resign ka na,” said Carlo.

The child actor received praise from the netizens because of his passionate speech.

Carlo was discovered by Ion Perez and also appeared in several television shows.

Ombudsman Samuel Martires insisted that they have not seen any actions carried out by Vice President Sara Duterte that were worth investigating.

“As far as we are concerned right now, we have not seen any acts of the vice president to investigate. Well, we do not find anything that is in violation of the Antigraft and Corrupt Practices Act,” said Martires in an interview

Martires also warned Department of Justice (DOJ) Undersecretary Jesse Andres to keep talking in the cases their agency may file against Duterte.

According to the Ombudsman, they have the power to take over any investigation that DOJ may conduct against the Vice President.

“If in the opinion of Usec. Andres we have that power, I would advise Usec. Andres to shut up. Even if the NBI is now investigating the acts of the Vice President, if we feel that it is now within the jurisdiction of the Ombudsman, we can tell the NBI, stop it, we will continue with the investigation,” said Martires.

Meanwhile, Andres said that he would try to reach the Ombudsman as he believed that there was a miscommunication between their offices.

It can be recalled that DOJ was studying the charges they may file against VP Duterte.

Kapamilya actor Anthony Jennings revealed that he couldn’t read or write when he started his career as an artist.

During a podcast, Anthony admitted that he had no choice but not to study during his youth as he was forced to work to survive.

Anthony only finished second grade due to financial difficulties, and when he auditioned to become an artist, he could barely read simple lines in the script.

“Well, oo regret ko pero hindi 100% na sobra kong kasalanan, 50-50. Hindi kasi ako nag-aral,” said Anthony.

“Elementary lang. Hindi ako marunong magsulat. Pumunta ako sa ABS noon hindi ako marunong magsulat,” he added.

According to him, he self-studied after he became an artist, while also supporting his siblings’ education at the same time.

“Ako pa ‘yung nagturo sa sarili kong magbasa, hindi talaga ako nag-aral, wala akong masyadong alam. Kasi nga personal problems, personal responsibility,” he said.

“Pinag-aral ko ang mga kapatid ko kasi siyempre ayoko namang matulad sila sa akin. Hindi ako marunong magsulat kung makikita n’yo, ang pangit ng sulat ko,” he added.

Anthony said that he would not waste the opportunity to finish his studies.

“Sana, kaso hindi ako nabigyan ng opportunity, ‘yun ‘yung at a young age nag-start na akong mag-work na kung anu-ano ang ginawa ko sa buhay ko pero alam ko nasa top of the mind ko pa rin na mag-aral ako after everything, after anong mangyari,” he stated.

It can be recalled that Anthony was only discovered while he was working at a pier.

The security personnel who went viral on social media after he was accused of taking advantage of Marian Rivera during an event finally ended his silence.

In a Facebook post, Earl Nerona-Pressman addressed the netizens, saying that the event happened six months ago.

The video showed Earl leaning his head from where Marian was standing, raising the eyebrows of the netizens who thought that the security personnel was trying to peek at the actress.

Earl explained that he leaned his head because his colleague was trying to whisper a message to him.

“Kung malawak lang sana ang pagkakakuha ng video ay makikita ninyo ang totoong sitwasyon. Siksikan talaga ang mga tao at lahat ay halos gusto malalapit kay Marian, sana nakunan din ng video yun. Paano na lang kaya kung wala ako sa designation ko edi mas nabastos si Marian at hindi na mapipigilan ang mga taong halos lumapit sa kanya,” said Earl.

“Bumulong ang kasama ko at nagtanong about sa crowd control at sa buong makakaya ko nilapit ko ang tenga at sana man lang kung may audio na malinaw ang video ay nag excuse tlaga ako kaya nga nilapit ko ang tenga ko sa kasamahan ko dahil mahihirapan ka sumenyas, mahihirapan ka igalaw ang katawan mo dahil sa dami ng tao sa paligid mo na sana ay nakunan din ng video. May isang crowd na nagpupumilit na makalapit kay Marian at nakikipagtalo sa amin kung makikita ninyo sa video na sinabihan na “Kuya kanina ka pa”. I swear hindi ako iyon, sinundan niya ng tingin iyon at nagkataon na sa akin ng tingin dahil nga kami ng mga kasamahan ko ang nagsesecure ng kanyang safety,” he added.

He urged the netizens to stop judging him as his work was already affected by the issue.

Netizens were now monitoring comedian Ruffa Mae Quinto and boxing legend Manny Pacquiao, who were also named endorsers of the company Neri Naig endorsed.

It can be recalled that Neri was facing multiple charges for allegedly asking people to invest in Dermacare despite having no permit to do so.

Neri was detained for violating RA 8799, or the Securities Regulation Code, and insisted that she was only an endorser of Dermacare.

Aside from Neri, other celebrities were facing complaints from the investors of Dermacare.

Netizens speculated that Ruffa Mae and Manny might also face charges as they were also labeled as brand ambassadors of the brand.

Even the talent manager and Ogie Diaz also discussed the rumors.

“Tulad ni Neri [Naig] endorser din ng Dermacare si Rufa Mae. Si Manny naman ang nakalagay ay franchisee/brand ambassador noong 2022,” said Ogie.

“Nakakaloka, ha! Sana hindi ito totoo. Otherwise, maaari itong linawin ng kampo ni Rufa Mae at ni Manny Pacquiao. O baka hindi rin sila aware sa surprise warrant of arrest.” he added.

However, many netizens were skeptical that Manny would follow the same fate as Neri due to his influence.

As of writing, Ruffa and Manny have yet to give any statement on the rumors.

Several netizens claimed that Neri Naig directly offered them to invest in a now-defunct company.

It can be recalled that Neri was currently detained after she received complaints from the investors of the beauty company Dermacare for violating RA 8799 or the Securities Regulation Code.

A netizen shared on his Threads that Neri sent him a message asking him to invest P850,000 in exchange for P7,000 monthly interest for 10 years.

The netizen admitted that he was almost convinced to invest because of the fast return of investment.

“I didn’t have 850k to invest at that time pero I was seriously considering yung 250k investiment. They promised 7k monthly returns for 10 years, roi in 3 yrs and more than 3x your capital after 10 yrs,” the netizen said.

“Medyo too good to be true talaga. naforesee ko din ba na mababankrupt sila?” she added.

In the said email, Neri said that if Dermacare ever files for bankruptcy, their legal team was tasked to ease the worry of the investors.

Meanwhile, an official from Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) already questioned the business model of Dermacare.

“Siyempre kung may produkto ba? Yung produkto ba na yun ay may presyo ba…meron bang necessity para bumili ka nun? Rasonable ba yung value niya? Kasi baka kapirasong sabon, Kojic soap, mga isang libo o PHP1,500 yung isa, reasonable ba yan?” SEC enforcement director Filbert Flores said.

Eat Bulaga fans expressed their concern when they noticed the absence of television host and comedian Paolo Ballesteros on TV5’s top-rated noontime show.

Paolo’s absence sparked speculations that the comedian would leave Eat Bulaga.

However, Chiqui Ballesteros-Belen, Paolo’s sister, gave an update on what happened to her brother.

A video she published on social media showed Paolo had a case trigger finger.

A trigger finger is a condition that causes a finger to get stuck in a bent position. It may straighten suddenly with a snap. The fingers most often affected are the ring finger and the thumb, but the condition can affect any finger.

According to Chiqui, Paolo’s finger was folded for three days straight, and he couldn’t work due to the pain he was experiencing.

Some netizens also shared their experiences after having the same case.

“Get well soon Paolo. Kya pla wla cia sa EB. Nrnasan ko rin yan. Trigger Thumb, Middle Finger operation kesa steroids kc bblik dn ung pain. Sa una po tlga mskit. Skin 6 yrs ago ung operation. Prng wlang nangyari sa kamay ko. Sna ganun ka din. Take Care Paolo,” netizen Beth said.

Nino Muhlach shared that his son, Sandro Muhlach, was not planning to negotiate with independent contractors Jojo Nones and Richard Cruz.

In an interview, Nino said that Jojo and Richard’s camp have yet to appear in the arraignment for the case Sandro filed against them because the independent contractors filed a motion to review.

The review would last for sixty days.

As the review was ongoing, Jojo and Richard could still ask Sandro for a settlement, which Nino believed would be difficult.

“Nung una, salita sila nang salita kesyo mahina raw yung kaso. E, noong lumabas ang desisyon ng DOJ, malakas nga yung kaso, nag-bail sila,” said Nino.

“Si Sandro, ayaw magpaareglo. Pero sabi ko, ‘Kung PHP100 million na, magpatawad ka na, anak. Matuto kang magpatawad!’” he added.

On a serious note, Nino was still affected by what happened to his son.

“Ako naman, hindi na naaapektuhan sa mga kahit ano pa ang gawin sa akin. Dapat, sa akin na nga lang nila ginawa. Sana walang problema, di ba? Sa totoo lang, sana nasiyahan pa sila,” he said.

“Wala pa silang reklamo, di ba? Totoo yon, kung sa akin nila ginawa, sana walang kaso. Kung sa akin na lang nila ginawa, natikman sana nila ang Chorizo de Muhlach. Hindi kalakihan pero malasa!” he added.

The Philippine National Police said that they received information that some attendees of a rally held at EDSA in recent days in support of Vice President Sara Duterte were paid.

During a press conference at Camp Crame, Quezon City, on November 27, PNP Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo said the attendees were allegedly paid to attend the EDSA shrine.

The attendees also received free transportation and food.

“There are some videos na lumalabas, if I may share again na ‘yung iba doon allegedly were transported from their barangays papunta doon sa lugar. Pinangakuan daw na babayaran sila at papakainin,” said Fajardo.

“It was documented, hindi ko alam kung sino nagpalabas nito. We just want to share it with you,” she added.

However, Fajardo even admitted that they didn’t want to judge the other attendees.

“We don’t want to pre-judge our fellow Filipinos who were promised something and were used for their own vested interests. We’re not sure if this is true. We’re just sharing it because it is circulating on social media,” she stated.

According to the official reports, 100 people attended the rally in EDSA, which some Duterte supporters described as ‘People Power 4.’

The rally happened amid the possible charges that Duterte may face for her recent statements against President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.

Actor and singer Juan Karlos Labajo couldn’t hide his sadness after his short encounter with his German father, Oliver Otolz.

In an interview, JK said that during the pandemic, he successfully traced his father’s number and quickly messaged him.

However, instead of receiving a reply from his father, JK has been blocked.

“I was able to find my Dad’s number, I messaged him. During that time hindi ko alam sasabihin eh. Sabi ko, ‘Hi, my name is Juan Karlos Labajo. I’m not asking for any financial or material aspect from you, I just would love to get to know you.’ Tapos seen zoned, blocked,” he said.

According to JK, he questioned himself why his father was evading him.

“Bakit? Anong ginawa ko? Anong kasalanan ko? Anong mali ko? I was brought back to that feeling that I felt when I was 8 years old when I had the first question of why. Umiyak ako non, sobrang hagulhol,” he stated.

It can be recalled that his father left him when he was still a baby. JK’s mother also passed away when he was twelve years old.

Having no parents made JK’s life challenging.
