Jake Ejercito was exploring legal options against Mindanao-based vlogger Crist Briand after the latter featured Ellie Eigenmann in his vlog without her consent.

On his Facebook post, the actor appealed to his followers to report Briand’s page for invading the privacy of his daughter with Andi Eigenmann.

To prove that Ellie was not comfortable with Briand’s action, Jake showed a part of the video where his daughter could be seen covering her face.

“Please continue reporting the page of this irresponsible clout chaser who ambushed a 13-year-old girl for views. I’m now in the process of exploring legal options,” he said.

“Using minors for your content is disrespectful and exploitative. My daughter made it clear that we will not be okay with you doing this. And she is clearly uncomfortable. Build your platform on integrity! Don’t use our daughter for clout,” he added.

According to the Data Privacy Act of 2012, minors like Ellie must be protected from sharing their data, including their faces, without consent.

Briand has yet to respond to Jake.

Internet celebrity Christian Albert Gaza had gone missing on social media several hours after he released documents and photos related to the issue of Bacolod City Mayor Albee Benitez.

It can be recalled that Mayor Benitez was facing charges from his wife, Nikki Benitez, after his alleged relationship with several women, including actress Ivana Alawi.

Following the leak of the documents, Gaza then published several photos of the Mayor together with other women.

He also published several documents and claimed that the Benitez couple had separated many years ago.

However, Gaza’s account mysteriously disappeared on Facebook, which Victorias City Mayor Javi Benitez, the son of the Benitez couple, confirmed.

Several netizens speculated that the internet celebrity received a warning from Benitez’s camp.

Some of them even believed that the Benitez family could find internet celebrities due to their influence in the Philippines and other countries.

Gaza never came back to the Philippines after he fled the country in 2018, after being convicted of being involved in an investment scam.

Bacolod City First Lady Nikki Benitez named two additional personalities in her complaint against her husband, Bacolod City Mayor Albee Benitez.

Aside from actress Ivana Alawi, Mrs. Benitez also narrated how her husband admitted her relationship with Binibining Pilipinas World 1996 Daisy Reyes and former Viva Hot Babes member Andrea del Rosario.

According to Mrs. Benitez, her husband had children with Rosario and Reyes.

In her complaint, Mrs. Benitez narrated that she had already heard rumors about her husband and Reyes’s relationship, which intensified when the beauty queen was reported to be pregnant.

However, the respondent, Mayor Benitez, denied his affair with the beauty queen.

In 2009, Mrs. Benitez was again disrupted by another rumor between her husband and Del Rosario.

She only discovered that her husband had children with both personalities when the latter submitted his psychiatric evaluation related to the petition to nullify their marriage.

“The psychological evaluation revealed that the Respondent admitted to having two daughters outside of his marriage with me,” said Mrs. Benitez.

As of writing, Del Rosario and Reyes have yet to give their reaction to the accusations made by Mrs. Benitez.

Bacolod City Mayor Albee Benitez’s camp ended their silence after the public official’s wife, Nikki Benitez, filed charges against him.

According to the statement published by Benitez’s legal counsel, Peter Sanchez, the timing of the case filing was questionable since some of the incidents mentioned in the complaint filed by Mrs. Benitez happened as far back as two decades ago.

They also claimed that the mayor didn’t fail to support his partner despite being separated a long time ago.

“Every property acquired during the marriage—including the multi-million peso residences in Forbes Park and Dasmariñas Village—was fully paid for by Mayor Benitez using his own resources, but titled in the name of the complainant, Dominique Lopez-Benitez. This also includes high-value assets such as condominium units, luxury vehicles, and a substantial amount of publicly listed shares, all of which were funded by Mayor Benitez but registered under her,” the lawyer said.

There was also a court order that the mayor was only obligated to support his wife and his family, but he was generous enough to give more.

“Mayor Benitez continued to provide not just ordinary support but a high standard of living, shouldering personal, household, and even extended family expenses for more than two decades. This included the complainant’s travel business ventures, staff, and credit card charges-even long after their separation,” the report read.

Benitez’s camp also urged the complainant to stop dragging actress Ivana Alawi on the issue, saying that naming individuals would be against the process of VAWC.
