Dingdong Dantes talked for the first time about the rumors that he had a daughter with actress Lindsay de Vera.

It can be recalled that several showbiz reporters discussed the possibility that Dingdong had a child with Lindsay.

In an interview with Boy Abunda, Dingdong said that he was not planning to address the rumors, but he was forced to explain to the public due to some concerns from his relatives.

Dingdong made it straight to the record that he didn’t have any children from another woman.

“Sa totoo lang eh nagdadalawang isip talaga ako kagabi kung may sasabihin ba ako about the topic and the issue kasi alam kong baka tanungin ninyo eh. Pero para sa akin po kasi, dahil may mga tumatawag na po sa ‘kin na mga kaibigan, mga kamag-anak, ‘yung mga nagmamalasakit po sa ‘kin,” said Dingdong. “And because I have a responsibility dito sa aking mga mahal sa buhay, responsibilidad ko na klaruhin ang isyung ito dahil mahalagang mahalaga po ang aspetong ito para sa akin,” 

“I love my wife, I love my family very much, my kids. That’s why I’m saying it is not true,” he added.

Even his wife, Marian Rivera, found the rumor funny and just shrugged it off.

It can be recalled that Lindsay already addressed the issue in 2021, saying that she was even ready to file charges against the people who spread the rumors.

“Malakas po loob ko to tell them, to ask them to come forward with proof if they can. Patunayan po nila na nabuntis ako ni Kuya Dong,” she stated.

A writer who worked for GMA Network shared how Xian Lim worked with them and their attitude toward his colleagues.

In a Facebook comment, Brylle Tabora, who claimed to have worked on one of Xian’s projects, narrated how difficult working with the actor was.

He made the comment in a post related to his viral interview, in which he admitted his relationship with producer Iris Lee.

“What a friggin joke, and he’s also super difficult to work with!! Made our lives as TV writers miserable,” he said.

It can be recalled that rumors about Xian’s attitude were brought up several times.

One of the most notable incidents was his refusal to accept the “I love Albay T-shirt” after attending an event in the province.

Rep. Joey Salceda, who was the Governor of Albay when the incident happened, publicly criticized Xian for his attitude.

“Xian Lim says in my face (Atty Carol) while handling the coffee table book in front of many – “I’m not here to promote Albay”.” If his road manager checks his record, Albay paid for his many guestings since way back in 2011 when his talent fee was just P75,000 (Ginoo ni Magayon) and now P350,000 for Fiesta Tsinoy Albay. It’s either 1. His parents did not raise him well. 2. He had bad education. 3. He is not managed well. 4. His character is inversely proportonal to his looks. 5. He is something,” the Salceda wrote.

Xian apologized for the incident, but the official didn’t accept it.

“No forgiveness deserved,” he stated.

Vice Ganda revealed that Awra Briguela’s father, Oneal Brian Briguela, asked him not to quickly free the actress after she caused a commotion in Poblacion, Makati City, last year.

In an interview, Vice revealed that Oneal asked him to let Awra stay behind bars longer to teach her a lesson.

Vice described Mr. Briguela as a father who would not tolerate the wrongdoings of his children.

“Alam mo ang hirap-hirap sa posisyon ko noong mga panahong kinakausap ko kayong dalawa, kasi ‘yong tatay niya hindi kunsintidor na tatay. Hindi siya ‘yong tatay na lalapit sa akin para sabihing ‘Meme, ilabas mo ‘yong anak ko sa kulungan, Meme, pakiayos naman si Awra, Meme tulungan n’yo po si Awra.'” said Vice.

“Ang tatay niya iba ang atake, ang sabi niya sa akin, ‘Meme, ang pakiusap ko huwag mo muna siyang ilabas. Alam kong tutulungan mo siya, pero ‘wag mo muna siyang ilabas. Kasi gusto ko maranasan niya ‘yong hirap doon para ma-realize niya.’” he added.

The comedian told Awra that his father wanted her to realize the effect of her actions.

It can be recalled that the said incident almost ended Awra’s career as CCTV footage released by the establishment showed his other personality behind the camera.

Awra revealed that she already settled the issue with the other camp privately, but still, she released a public apology to show that she was sincere in her apologies.

The videographer and content creator who went viral on social media after discovering that internet celebrity Whamos Cruz used his clips without permission took a swipe against someone.

It can be recalled that Whamos’ “Piliin Mo Ang Pilipinas” was well-received by netizens, but everything changed when content creator Jak Seventy-Three made a video to point out his recorded clips the internet celebrity used without his permission.

Instead of apologizing, Whamos insisted that his editor was the one at fault and also tried to justify that he used the clips to promote patriotism.

“Hindi po ako ‘yung nag-install ng video na ‘yun. Ang nag-install po nung video na ‘yun sa entry ko is ‘yung editor ko….Ako na po ‘yung humihingi ng pasensya sa editor ko sa nangyari,” he said.

“Ginamit naman po ‘yun sa tamang paraan, hindi naman po sa maling paraan, hindi naman po sa pangit na video ‘yung pinasukan nung video niyo po,” he added.

Several hours after Whamos released his explanation, Jak took a swipe against Whamos.

“Good morning sa lahat ng mga Editors, Travel Enthusiasts and passionate Content Creators, except sa isa dyan,” he stated.

Fans of Jak urged him to make Whamos accountable for grabbing his footage.

“Waiting po kung anong isasagot ninyo sa statement ng isang content creator, many will be disappointed if you don’t sue him,” netizen Zydee said.

“Papanindigan nyang ikaw din kumuha, eh sa malamang kumita na sya don eh. Bakit pa tatanggalin hahaha,” netizen Chinito remarked.

Instead of apologizing, internet celebrity Whamos Cruz defended himself and criticized the people who quickly judged him for allegedly unauthorized use of clips for his “Piliin Mo Ang Pilipinas” entry.

It can be recalled that a content creator discovered that Whamos had used some of his clips without asking for his permission.

In response, Whamos mentioned the original owner of the clips in his comment section.

Amid the criticism he received, Whamos insisted that he was not at fault during the incident as the one who copied the clip was his editor.

“Meron akong nabalitaan na ninakaw ko daw po ‘yung clip. So meron siyang caption na ‘Whamos stole my video,’ medyo nasaktan ako doon sa part na ‘yun. ‘Yung sa akin lang, nag-message na lang sana, hindi na nag-post sa social media,” said Whamos.

“Hindi po ako ‘yung nag-install ng video na ‘yun. Ang nag-install po nung video na ‘yun sa entry ko is ‘yung editor ko….Ako na po ‘yung humihingi ng pasensya sa editor ko sa nangyari,” he added.

Whamos, known for encouraging people to gamble, insisted that the clips were used for a better cause.

“Ginamit naman po ‘yun sa tamang paraan, hindi naman po sa maling paraan, hindi naman po sa pangit na video ‘yung pinasukan nung video niyo po,” he stated.

However, most netizens didn’t buy Whamos’ explanation.

“Karapatan po ng videographer idol pinag hirapan din nya mga videos nya, ang mali ay mali po, mali 100%” netizen Nokie said.

“Bat kasi nag credit ka lang sa comment section. dapat ikaw na nag first move makipag communicate para maayos,” netizen Ben commented.

Former actress Lindsay Custodio narrated how she felt regret the moment she married her non-showbiz partner, Frederick Cale.

In an interview with Pep.ph, Lindsay shared how her wedding on May 13, 2022, which was supposed to be a memorable day, became one of the worst moments of her life.

Lindsay hinted that she had problems with Frederick’s financial decisions.

According to her, before their wedding reception, her husband forced her to pass by a bank first to use the cash gifts they received to pay for his loans, which he borrowed to finance their matrimony.

“Nag-open kami ng joint bank account prior to our church wedding. Nag-insist siyang pumunta kami sa bangko after the church wedding ceremony. Ang mga tseke sa bangko na-clear na at cash gifts ang pinambayad sa credit card niya,” she said.

Lindsay didn’t expect that Frederick would use the cash gifts they received to finance their wedding.

“I was against it talaga. I was expecting na nag-offer siya ng kasal so he should be prepared for it. Iaasa lang pala niya dun sa mga cash gift sa kasal,” she stated.

The former actress also said that her husband also forced her to use her personal account to contribute to the wedding.

“Sinabi ko sa kanya, puwede ba yung pera sa personal account ko, akin na lang, so I can use it for my personal expenses, like, emergency fund? Sabi niya, ‘Ay, hindi. I-withdraw mo yan. Dapat diyan ibayad mo sa credit card,” she narrated.

“Ang lakas ng boses niya. Siyempre, nagtitinginan yung mga tao. Ang takot ko noon, baka may mag-video sa amin, tapos i-post. So, I just agreed to what he wanted. Ibinayad sa credit card niya from the fund na idineposit namin sa joint account, pati yung sa personal account ko, ibinayad din,” she added.

It was already too late for Lindsay to realize the real personality of her husband.

“Hiyang-hiya ako sa sarili ko, pero dumiretso pa rin kami sa reception. Dun naman po sa reception, after the program was done, kinuha niya rin ang cash gifts na ibinigay sa amin at yun ang ipinambayad niya sa [additional] expenses,” she said.

“Nagsisisi na ako noon, ‘Bakit ganito yung napangasawa ko?’ Ang sa akin, nung panahon na yon, nahihiya ako dahil kasal na kami. Iniisip ko kung ano ang sasabihin ng mga tao. Parang biyuda ako, nagpakasal ako uli, tapos maghihiwalay lang kami. I really wanted to save the marriage,” she stated.

Several days ago, Lindsay filed charges against her husband – a possible move to end their marriage legally.

Awra Briguela wrote an open letter to the public to officially apologize for the first time due to the commotion she got involved in last year.

In her Instagram post, Awra expressed her regret over the mistakes she committed in the past, which resulted in her being put behind bars.

“Gusto ko simulan sa pag hingi ng tawad sa pamilya ko lalong lalo na sa magulang ko. Patawad kung mas pinili kong takbuhan at talikuran ang problema. Patawad kung wala akong tapang harapin ang mga issues naten isa’t isa. Patawad kung mas pinili kong tumakbo at mag pakasaya nang panadalian imbis na ayusin natin ang problema,” she wrote.

“Alam kong hindi naging madali sa inyo na makita at mapanuod ako sa sitwasyong hindi maganda. Patawad kung na dismaya ko kayo sa maraming bagay. Patawad kung nagbago ako at nag iba ang ugali ko,” she added.

Awra vowed to change herself for the better and asked for a chance to redeem herself.

Additionally, Awra also addressed the people who were involved on the issue, including the men she allegedly forced to do something for her during the incident.

“To the ones who were involved, I would also like to humbly ask for your forgiveness. The mistakes and all the damages that were done was mine and I am willing to take accountability and responsibility I will take all of these as a lesson that I will carry for the rest of my life,” she stated.

She added: “I know we’re in good terms already and settled things privately but still I want to say sorry and thank you for allowing and giving me the chance to apologize and for accepting it,” 

Veteran actor Rommel Padilla was still hoping that his son, Daniel Padilla, would still be given a chance to reconcile with his ex-girlfriend, Kathryn Bernardo.

In an interview, Rommel admitted that the whole Padilla clan was saddened by what happened to Daniel and Kathryn, and they’re still hoping that someday, the two would ignite their love for each other again.

“Sana dumating ‘yung pagkakataon na magkita silang muli, magkaunawaan. Napakalaking panahon na nagkasama sila. Sana manumbalik pa ang kanilang pagmamahalan,” he said.

“Lahat kami[ng Padilla], hindi lang ako [ang nalulungkot]” he added.

He also gave advice to Daniel and Kathryn to give themselves time to reflect.

“Magmuni-muni muna sila at timbangin nila ‘yung kanilang naging pagmamahalan…dapat pa ba silang magbalikan? Ito ‘yung time na ‘yun na makikita nila kung puwede pang maging sila sa mga darating na araw,” he said.

Rommel was the former partner of Karla Estrada and wed under Muslim rites.

Karla gave birth to Daniel during the time when Rommel was behind bars due to multiple charges.

Currently, Rommel is married again to his second wife, Anabelle Antonio.

When asked why he was married twice, Rommel insisted that he was a Muslim. Therefore, he was allowed to have multiple wives.

Television host Coleen Garcia-Crawford published an open letter to the netizens amid concerns about her husband, Billy Crawford’s health.

It can be recalled that a video of Billy circulated on social media, and some netizens couldn’t help but express concern about the actor’s alleged sudden weight loss.

In her Facebook post, Coleen posted a photo of herself in her normal home appearance, which is believed to be a response to the people speculating on Billy’s health.

She said that people should stop speculating about someone’s state based on their appearance.

“I look sick. I look pale. I look depressed. My hair’s a frizzy mess, esp in this insane heat.
No it’s not cause of bisyo. It’s not cause of unbearable stress or marital problems or depression. It’s because I’m human. We all are. I break out, I get tired, I am getting older every day,” she said.

“Anyone can bash, judge, speculate. Or we can lessen that, & make it SAFER for people to be unapolegetically authentic. Cause no one should ever have to feel like they need to put on a mask just to be accepted. Showbiz is a switch we turn on until we get to shed the makeup, the hair extensions & the pretensions and just BE. We complain abt how everything on social media is so fake & filtered, and then in the same breath, we bash what’s real when we feel like it’s not pretty enough for us,” she added.

Coleen received a tremendous amount of support from fans and told the critics to stop spreading rumor about Billy.

Internet celebrity Toni Fowler hinted at her breakup with her partner, content creator Vince Flores.

In her social media post, Toni said that she was back again as a single mom just months after she announced her pregnancy.

“Kinaya ko nung una. Na-practice ko na. So kayang kaya ko sa pangalawa. Back to #Singlemom,” she said.

Toni also made another Facebook post about blocking someone from her life.

“It’s easier to fall in love than to stay in love BLOCKED,” she wrote.

In her live video, Toni revealed that she was having problems with Vince and decided to end their relationship temporarily while fixing their differences.

She also urged her followers not to give up despite the challenges they may face in the future.

It can be recalled that Toni announced her pregnancy with Vince’s baby.

Netizens took Toni’s statement with a grain of salt, believing it was only part of her social media strategy to promote herself again and her reality show.

As of writing, Vince has yet to give a statement following the rumored breakup between him and Toni.
