“Schoolmates pa ito ng mga anak ko. Hope you will also have to courage to say this in front of our faces at hindi lang sa Facebook..” Cruz wrote.

It’s not yet known the plans of Cruz against the schoolmates of her daughter.

Fajardo, De Jesus, and Damiles has yet to give comment on the post of Cruz.

A few days ago, Cruz already criticized the ‘predators’ who are making inappropriate comments about her and her daughters.

“Sad na ginagawang rason ng mga manyak na ito na naka swimsuit or shorts daw kami,” Cruz said.

“Do not blame women for the choice of clothes they wear. Believe me kahit nakabalot o gown pa kami sa beach may mga bastos pa din. Never blame women rather blame yourself dahil kahit pinagaral kayo ng mga magulang mo, lumaki parin kayong bastos at manyak,” she also said.

“He’s my friend, we do business together, so we’ve been working together for a while… Dati… kasi we’re friends. We’re just friends.” Stroem said in a past interview.

“None, because I’d like to focus on work. Some people are called to be married, some people are called to be single, and I’m called to be single. I’m still young.” he added.

Agustin also said that he’s just a friend of the singer and not affected by the rumors.

 

Lawyer warns pro ABS-CBN celebrities of possible charges: “Dear artistas: Make sure your meltdowns don’t amount to inciting to sedition”

A lawyer reminded the celebrities who supported ABS-CBN to ensure that what they’re posting on social media about the government would not be against the law.

In a Facebook post, Attorney Trixie Cruz-Angeles said that after the House of Representatives decided to junk ABS-CBN franchise application, celebrities, and Kapamilya supporters would surely become vocal on social media to criticize the government.

She then reminded the Kapamilyas about ‘inciting to sedition’ and posted valuable information about the said law.

“Eto po ang mga examples ng inciting to sedition:”

“1. paghihikayat na saktan o maghiganti laban sa opisyales ng gobyerno.
Ex: Yung manawagan na sunugin ang bahay ni Congressman X dahil bumoto siya laban sa isang batas”

“2. magkalat ng libelong kamumuhian ang isang opisyales ng gobyerno lalo na kung ang libelong ito ay magiging dahilan sa hind pagtupad ng mga tunkulin ng nasabing opisyales
Ex: Yung pag tag bilang drug lord sa isang opisyal,”

“3. Yung paghihikayat na manggulo o wasakin ang katahimikan ng bayan,”

In another post, she said that celebrities should avoid being carried away by their feelings and still check if what they’re posting on social media would not be against the law.

“Dear artistas: Make sure your meltdowns don’t amount to inciting to sedition or inciting to rebellion or libel. Especially scurrilous libels (see Revised Penal Code art 142 on inciting to sedition). Also mind the safe spaces act as well,” she said.

“Otherwise, carry on. The amount of information you reveal about your character, such as a lust for vengeance, capacity for hate, shallow appreciation of people and overall anger management issues, is utterly fascinating,” she added.

A few months ago, several private individuals were arrested for posting bounties and threats against President Rodrigo Duterte.

Teacher Ronnel Mas was arrested by the members of NBI after he offered a bounty on President Duterte’s head.

“I will give 50-M reward kung sino ang makakap*tay kay Duterte #NoToABSCBNShutDown,” Mas said.

The court, however, cleared Mas of the charge of inciting to sedition due to extrajudicial confession.

Even former actress Mystica was charged by inciting to sedition for her online statements against President Duterte.

Gretchen Barreto denies that she’s supporting ABS-CBN franchise: “I AM PRO DUTERTE!”

Former actress and socialite Gretchen Barretto denied that she’s supporting ABS-CBN after the House of Representatives junked the franchise application of the said television network.

In a series of Instagram posts, Barreto disowned a Twitter account named after her that expressed support to the 11 lawmakers who pushed for the franchise of ABS-CBN.

“THIS IS A FAKE TWITTER ACCOUNT!!! I Have Not made a single statement regarding congress & abs cbn ???” Barreto said.

This is a FAKE Twitter ACCOUNT! I DO NOT HAVE A TWITTER ACCOUNT. I AM PRO DUTERTE ???,” she also posted.

Rita Avila, who’s a known supporter of ABS-CBN couldn’t stop herself from giving comment on Barreto’s post.

“You are right, no single statement made,” Avila said.

When netizens asked if Avila’s comment to Barreto was a sarcastic one, the former clarified that she’s supporting the latter for being ‘truthful’.

“Hmmm, I think some didn’t get my comment right. I am supporting Gretchen for her truthful caption. Tutoo ang sinabi nya,” Avila commented.

Bianca Gonzalez to the boy who ‘unfriended’ his father for being against ABS-CBN: “Yakap!”

Bianca Gonzales raised the eyebrows of some netizens after she tried to comfort the Twitter user who has gone viral lately after he ‘unfriended’ his father and even threatened to stop paying their bills.

On July 11, Twitter user ‘Kirk’ expressed his disappointment to his father who’s in favor of shutting down ABS-CBN for good.

According to him, he’s thinking of leaving his parents and stop paying the house bills.

“I just unfriended my papa. He is in favor of shutting down ABS-CBN. T***ina di ba. Parang bet ko lumayas. Balakayo magbayad ng kuryente jan,” said Kirk.

“Nakapag-post ka ng hate sa FB mo eh ako naman nagbabayad ng internet. Paputol ko na kaya,” he added.

Kirk made the post after the 70 lawmakers junked the franchise application of ABS-CBN.

Gonzalez, who’s also active on Twitter, saw the post of Kirk and sent virtual hugs to the heartbroken woke.

“Yakap, Kirk,” Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez received criticisms from the netizens and accused him of encouraging people to ‘cancel’ their own parents due to different beliefs.

“Bianca Gonzalez should be ashamed of herself. She is a role model for the Filipino youth and here she is encouraging them to throw their parents under the bus just because they differ in their opinion on, of all things, a trashy brand like ABS-CBN. Such an appalling example being set by such a revered celebrity. It’s no wonder ABS-CBN suffered the fate that had befallen it,” blogger benign0 said in his piece about Gonzalez.

Meanwhile, another blogger, ‘Banat By‘ claimed that he was privately messaged by Gonzalez to apologize for the misunderstanding.

“Magandang gabi po. Inako ko po ang pagkakamali ko, hindi ko intensyon na kunsintihin ang disrespect sa magulang. Magulang din ako, at anak din. I apologized for the post. God bless,” she reportedly told Banat By.

Twitter became a favorite place to hang out by the generation z on the internet because some of them felt that they have more freedom to express themselves on the said social media platform.

A few months ago, the teacher who got arrested by the authorities after he placed a P50-M bounty on President Duterte’s head said that he was using Twitter to express his thoughts independently.

 

 

 

Kim Chiu slams lawmakers for prioritizing closing down ABS-CBN instead of helping people amid pandemic

Kim Chiu couldn’t hide her disappointment anymore to the lawmakers who voted against giving ABS-CBN a new franchise.

In an Instagram post, Chiu addressed the 70 lawmakers who opposed ABS-CBN, saying that she’s hoping that they decided “based on conscience, not pride; based on Facts, not ego; based on truth, honesty, and service; not vengeance,”

She also thanked the 11 lawmakers who voted in favor of the franchise of ABS-CBN.

According to her, the ABS-CBN executives who attended the 12-day franchise hearing of the House of Representatives showed composure despite being grilled many times by the lawmakers.

“Our AbsCbn leaders did everything they can. Proved them wrong, showed everything, gave EVERYTHING to protect its people. Stayed calm amidst being bullied,” Chiu said.

“Did 13 hearings na paikot ikot, ABSCBN proved that we have NO violations,” she added.

Chiu questioned why the lawmakers didn’t prioritize the pandemic, instead chose to focus on questioning ABS-CBN and pushing for the controversial anti-terror bill.

“In the middle of this pandemic. Pagpapasara ng Abscbn and pagpapatupad ng anti terror bill ang nangyayari. What is happening to our country?” she asked.

Chiu also added a video, showing the view of the millenium transmisster from the building

Jinkee Pacquiao clarified on her social media account that the Hermés and Louis Vuitton luxury bicycles that she posted a few days ago on the internet are gifts from a friend.

Despite receiving a tremendous amount of criticism on social media, Isidro didn’t stop criticizing Pacquiao, asking her again about the purpose of the latter on posting expensive things on the internet.

“Sinabi ko naman na wala akong pakialam kung saan ginastos ang kaprehan. I’m sure marami na rin ang natulungan. Ang sa akin lang, kailangan ba namin makita yan, sa gitna ng paghihirap na dinaranas ng nakararami?” Isidro said after being accused of being jealous to Pacquiao many times.

Actress Maris Racal on ABS-CBN franchise rejection: “Boto tayo sa 2022”

Actress Maris Racal couldn’t hide her sadness after 70 members of the House of Representatives rejected the franchise of her home network ABS-CBN.

In a series of tweets, Racal expressed her disappointment after she was informed that only 11 people voted in favor of the Kapamilya network.

She then urged the people to vote for 2022, implying that the next President might support the franchise of ABS-CBN.

One of the possible presidential candidates in 2022, Vice President Leni Robredo expressed her support to the ABS-CBN recently.

“This is so heartbreaking. di ako makapaniwala, di ko alam. Sobrang nakakaiyak. That was 70 VOTES,” Racal said.

“Hanggang drafts nalang yung ibang gusto kong sabihin. Boto tayo sa 2022,” she added.

Earlier, Racal pleaded to the lawmakers to consider the thousands of workers that could be affected by the closure of ABS-CBN.

Kapamilya network claimed that 11,000 employees could be affected by the closure of their company.

“Please hear us!!!! Marami pong mawawalan ng trabaho,” she said.

The actress became controversial a few months ago after she criticized the government and accused of shaming the Visayan people.

“Positive na sukang suka na sa government. good people are outnumbered,” the actress tweeted.

Netizens criticized Racal too much that her family already vowed to sue the bashers of the actress.

“Feel free to take screenshots and send it to me. I might not reply because I’m flooded with messages, but thank you. We’re taking legal actions on this. Apparently, spreading rumors can really put you in trouble. Good luck guys!” Racal’s sister said.

ABS-CBN has yet to give information about their next move after the decision of Congress.
