Jaclyn Jose slams Pinky Amador for yelling at hotel staff: “Habang buhay nilang dadalhin ang pang lalait niyo!”

Award-winning actress Jaclyn Jose couldn’t hide her disappointment to her showbusiness colleague Vivian Velez after the latter defended Pinky Amador who recently faced controversy for cursing and yelling at condominium-hotel staff in Makati.

On June 8, Velez said that Amador was provoked by the hotel management and recorded her reaction which uploaded on the internet.

The video has been watched by millions of netizens on social media.

“Pinky was pushed to the wall and then recorded her reaction. This Palace management should be sued. Walang kalaban laban ang mga tenants,” Velez said.

Jose commented on Velez’s post and defended the hotel staff for the actions did by Amador against them.

“May pamilya yung tao, may anak asawa, kamag anak.. ano gusto niyo sabihin sa kanila? Napakalupit niyo, ano tayo sa kanila ng gutom at pandemya? Wala kayo pinagkaiba sa mga hudyo, hinahangaan kita ms Velez but not this time you little piece of sh*t!” Jose said.

“Ang akala ko kakampi ka, ang kakampi sumasang ayon sa tama. Yung Pacific Plaza Makati tumatanggap talaga OFW pero hindi ibig sabihin lahat sila may COVID… Yung hinihingi ni Ms. Amador na valid circular, but you need to understand kaka tanggal lang ng ECQ at etong pinagmumura niya di natin alam kung ano side?” she also said.

The actress said that the hotel management has the right to record the incident, saying that they need to secure an evidence against Amador who’s already intimidating them.

Velez was caught off guard by Jose and couldn’t believe that the award-winning actress really criticized her.

“Ganito ang ginagawa ng mga hackers, this is not Jaclyn Jose!”

Jaclyn Jose also used her Instagram page to criticize Amador, telling her that the hotel staff who faced her wrath might carry the incident for their entire lives.

She said that Amador destroyed the reputation of the people working in showbusiness because of what she did.

“To Ms. Amador wag naman po ganun? Paano po ang mga kapatid asawa at iba pa lahi ng taong minura nio. Habang buhay nila dadalin pang lalait nio..media at instgram lang lang amg laban nila….do not persecute naglabas ng video kasi nanakot po kayo na sasaktan nio sila video lang kakampi..front liners po sila , na d nio alam kung paano sila nakarating trabaho? 3 weeks lock down d po ba?” Jose said.

“Kinakaladkad mo mga artista kaya wala na nag titwala sa atin dahil sa mga katulad mo.dinadamay nio kami na may puso sa katulad ng mga tao na ito.magpasalamat ka pumapasok pa sa kabila covid..heartless!! You piece of sh*t!! How dare you @ this is my people nag sislbi alam mo ba pinag dadaanan nila just to get to work? Mag lalakad nakikipagsapalaran kung ano puede masakyan..tas mumurahin mo mula ulo ma parang nabili mo? Ikaw ang gaga ! T*nga! Mag mask ka at mag gloves ..or yet stay in your home you rac*st!!!!” she added.

Yesterday, Jose apologized to Velez for her comments.

“Ms.Vivian Velez I am sorry for what I have said in your wall.. I know what kind of a person you are, didn’t mean to lambast you. mali ako.you are a friend, a family friend for that matter..again I apologize,” she said.

 

A few days ago, Amador has gone viral after a video showing her while yelling and cursing at hotel staff was uploaded on social media.

Amador then issued an apology but insisted that she’s only fighting for the safety of the tenants of the condo-tel.

She also said that video recording her was against the law.

Kuryente! UP student group issues erratum for accusing military providing transport service of intimidating rallyists

A student group based on the University of the Philippines (UP) issued an erratum for accusing the military personnel stationed at their Diliman campus of intimidating the people planning to organize a rally against the government.

In a post, UP Rises Against Tyranny and Dictatorship posted a photo showing military trucks parked in front of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) office in Diliman, Quezon City.

The group claimed that the military trucks appeared minutes after they announced that they’re going to conduct rally against the government.

“Without declared purpose, this may constitute a violation of the UP-DND Accord banning military presence on campus and is an outright form of intimidation against people joining the assembly and exercising their democratic rights,” the group post read.

“This showcases the same militarist mindset that makes the terror bill a dangerous weapon against ordinary civilians,” they added.

Later on, the group issued an erratum after they got informed that the military trucks were stationed there regularly to provide transportation to the people who wanted to go inside and outside of the UP campus.

However, they said that their presence could still intimidate the people who wanted to express their disappointment to the government

“The military trucks were eventually verified to be regularly stationed there to provide some mode of transportation during the ECQ in and out of campus. Their services are important but nonetheless valued, but absent any clear purpose that time their presence inevitably caused intimidation for the would-be protesters based on credible precedent from past cases of coercion,” they said.

Radio host and blogger Mark Lopez, who screen-captured the post of the group couldn’t hide his disappointment.

“Nakupo! Ayan na, target na daw ni Duterte ang mga woke at millennial. P*tay na ang demokrasya at merong outright intimidation. But as it turned out, ang mga military trucks at mga sundalo na nakita eh ang mission pala ay para mag provide ng support transportation at dun talaga naka pwesto since ECQ pa,” Lopez said.

“Tumutulong pala sa ating mga kababayan pero para sa mga kabataang wala nang inatupag kundi manira, manakot at manlinlang, eh kahit yang pagtulong ng gobyerno at militar eh papalabasin pa may balak na hindi maganda,” he added.

“Paumanhin kay Dr Jose Rizal, pero hindi mga ganitong kabataan ang pag asa ng bayan,”

A few days ago, another group of students also faced controversy after they allegedly fake the threats sent to them.

The group admitted that the number used by their intimidator was their former hotline number, however, they said that it was already sent to the junk shop a long time ago.

Lalaban ako! Gabby Lopez asks which side he will take if ever that Philippines declares war against US

If ever that the Filipino-American war happened today, the Filipinos may get additional support from ABS-CBN chairman emeritus Gabby Lopez.

During the House Hearing on ABS-CBN franchise on Monday, SAGIP party-list Rep. and Deputy Speaker Rodante Marcoleta who’s grilling Lopez asked the businessman a theoretical question to test his allegiance.

“Alam niyo po Mr. Lopez ang isa pong bansa, mapa Amerika man o kahit ano pong bansa, nire-require po ang kanilang mga mamamayan na mag profess ng 100 allegiance sa kanilang bansa, ang Amerika po ay requiring 100% allegiance to its citizens, in the same manner, that our country also requires the same, total allegiance to it,” Marcoleta said.

“Mr. Lopez, you were born in America to Filipino parents, and because of the concurrent application of the national laws of the two states, nagkaroon po kayo ng dalawang citizenship, pagiging Amerikano at Pilipino,” he added.

“In a remote possibility that the Philippines declares war against the United States, which side do you take the flag of your birth or the flag of your parents?”

Unlike the ‘Panatang Makabayan’ challenge, Lopez quickly responded to the question of Marcoleta, saying that he would choose the flag of his parents.

“I’m a Filipino, I would take the side of the Philippines,” Lopez said.

Despite his patriotic answer, Lopez said that he saw no reason for him to give up his American citizenship despite the issue being faced by ABS-CBN on alleged foreign ownership.

“I do not see a situation where I have to choose between the US and Filipino citizenship,” he said.

Marcoleta asked if the issue being faced by ABS-CBN now is not enough reason for him to choose between the Philippines and America.

“Hindi pa ba sapat na dahilan ang sinasabi ng ating saligang batas sa pag mamayari at pamamahala ng mga kumpanyang may kinalaman sa mass media at dapat Pilipino lamang ang bigyan ng pagkakataon na makapamalakad at mag ari, hindi po ba ito ay isa ng halimbawa ng mahigpit na conflict of interest at kinakailangan niyo ng mamili sana Mr. Lopez?” Marcoleta asked.

Lopez responded, saying that he believes that his service to the Philippines was already enough evidence to prove his loyalty to the Filipinos.

“All my actions have been clearly on behalf of the Philippines, everything that I’ve done is in the service of the Filipino so I don’t see a situation where I’m in conflict with the US citizenship,” he said.

Annabelle Rama slams Rep. Marcoleta for questioning Gabby Lopez: Ayaw kong makita sa TV ang pagmumukha mo!

SAGIP party-list Representative and Deputy Speaker Rodante Marcoleta received criticisms from veteran actress and talent manager Annabelle Rama after the former questioned ABS-CBN CEO Gabby Lopez’s citizenship.

Rama said that she only became active on Twitter after three years just to express her disappointment to Marcoleta who’s known for grilling the officials of ABS-CBN on the franchise issue.

According to her, she got annoyed by Marcoleta’s presence during the house hearing on the Kapamilya network’s franchise renewal.

“Pwede ba lahat ng Congressman na walang alam sa itatanong tumahimik nalang or magtanong muna sa lawyer bago pumunta sa Congress. Nakakahiya at nakakabwisit manuod ng hearing. Dong Marcoleta delaying tactics ang ginagawa mo – lahat kayo gusto lang ma starring sa TV!” Rama said.

She also questioned why Marcoleta asked Lopez to recite ‘Panatang Makabayan’ to prove his allegiance to the Philippines.

“Ako isang pinoy na bisaya.Hindi ko alam ang sinasabi ni dong Makuleta.Panatang Makabayan bakit kailangan sa hearing yan?Mga taong bayan at mga botante.
Malapit na election alam nyo na kung sino ang iboboto nyo.Nakakatawa kayo Ha ha ha..bwesssssit!” she tweeted.

Aside from Marcoleta, Rama also criticized Cavite 4th district Rep. Pidi Barzaga, telling him not to repeat his questions.

“Cong. Barzaga inuulit mo nanaman ang tanong tinanong mo na yan last hearing . Ano ba yan! Tama na ihinto mo naaaaa!!!” she said.

 

Rama is one of the celebrities pushing for the franchise of the Kapamilya network.

Marcoleta received criticisms from the supporters of ABS-CBN after he questioned the actions of the television network giant.

The lawmaker accused the network of violating the rights of their workers, evading taxes, foreign ownership, and political bias.

However, ABS-CBN and its supporters denied the accusations of Marcoleta.

Kim Chiu’s sister shows how the actress cries while performing ‘Bawal Lumabas’ at Wish Bus

The sister of Kim Chiu shared a behind-the-scenes video during the actress’ viral ‘Bawal Lumabas’ performance at Wish Bus.

In an Instagram post, Lakambini Chiu video recorded her sister while singing the controversial song.

@kamchiu Instagram

Chiu was being seen in the video stopping in the middle of her performance to wipe her tears.

Lakambini also made a letter to express her admiration for her sister who faced a tremendous amount of bashing on social media.

According to her, the actress tried to show that she could handle the situation but in reality, she’s also just a human that can be affected by the criticisms threw against her.

She also expressed doubts if her sister could even finish her wish bus performance.

“You may look at her as a strong woman, unaffected of everything that is happening right now. But she is also a human being. May pakiramdam. She wants to show you she is happy, strong, positive, which she is, but behind that I know there are things that She doesn’t want to show us.., she is trying to understand everything,” Lakambini said.

“She wants you to see her as a strong, brave woman standing up, taas noo, rising up from all the bullies. Because she knows wala siyang ginawang masama. Singing inside the wish bus is like facing a big fear for her, diko alam kung ready siya, kasi dyan nagsimula ang pinakalat na video to bash her honest mistake. Parang ako natatakot sa kanya, but she said “okay lang. Go lang tayo.”,” she added.

Fortunately, the actress finished her first live performance of ‘Bawal Lumabas’.

“She is so brave! Sang the song inside the wish bus, face the people who will put her down again once the video will be out, and sang the song live for the first time, which took her hours long to record because of the lyrics that hit her when she sings it. When I look at her. Hindi ko alam paano niya nagagawa lahat to. Saan siya nakakuha ng lakas harapin lahat na parang walang nangyari,” she stated.

Lakambini couldn’t stop herself from praising her sister who urged her not to put their attention to the critics several times.

She also congratulated her sister for making ‘Bawal Lumabas’ a big hit and announced that the merch made out of her song was already sold out.

She apologized for her statement, but later on, decided to make a song and sell merch out of it.

 

Chel Diokno warns the government: “Hindi forever ang kapangyarihan”

Human rights lawyer Chel Diokno warned the government on pushing the anti-terror bill despite the opposition from celebrities, lawyers, politicians, and groups.

In a tweet, Diokno shared the news about the move of Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III and House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano, who already signed the controversial measure on Monday and sent a copy to Malacanang.

President Rodrigo Duterte’s signature was the only thing needed for the bill to become a law.

According to Diokno, the government should be ready to face the consequences as they still prioritized the anti-terror bill instead of focusing on mass testing and giving aid to the people affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The lawyer reminded that the people leading the government right now could not stay in power forever.

Diokno is one of the known critics of the anti-terror bill that being pushed by lawmakers to strengthen the law against terrorism.

“Kahit tumutol ang taumbayan at binawi ng mga mambabatas ang suporta nila, pinipilit pa rin sa atin itong Anti-Terror Bill na mas prioridad pa nila kesa COVID testing at ayuda. Tandaan nyo: di forever ang kapangyarihan. Marunong maningil ang taumbayang niyurakan ang mga karapatan,” the defeated senatorial candidate said.

 

In his previous post, the lawyer said that when the controversial measure becomes a law, it would be easy for the administration to hunt its critics.

“It’s very easy for the admin to go after those they see as critics. I myself was charged with inciting to sedition, which was later found to have no basis at all. From experience, I can say it’s possible that critics will be charged with inciting to terrorism even without basis,” Diokno said.

As of writing, Malacanang has yet to issue a statement whether they’re going to sign the bill or not.

Jinggoy Estrada makes fun of Mayor Zamora’s Baguio visit: “Dinala mo na lahat ang pulis ng San Juan sa Baguio!”

Former Senator Jinggoy Estrada couldn’t stop himself from making fun of San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora, who recently faced controversy for allegedly ignoring the quarantine checkpoint during his visit to Baguio City.

During his live video on Monday, Estrada, who called Zamora as ‘Boy Baguio,’ said that he’s not convinced that the Mayor was sleeping during the time when his six-vehicle convoy passed the quarantine checkpoint in the city of pines.

“Siyam na kilometro pa ang layo ng triage o ‘yung checkpoint na tinatawag natin hanggang sa Baguio Country Club… Mga kababayan imposible kung talagang tulog siya o nagtutulog tulugan, imposibleng hindi siya ginising ng mga bodyguard niya dahil sinusundan na sila ng mga pulis,” Estrada said.

Zamora in a statement said that his wife was required to take because of having stage 3 cancer and they thought that Baguio City was the perfect place for his wife to stay while recovering.

The former Senator said that Zamora might be putting his wife in danger because the COVID-19 still remains in the country.

“Pumunta raw sila sa Baguio dahil magpapahinga ang kanyang asawa sa Baguio… alam mo Boy Baguio, ang asawa mo mayroon pong sakit, sinabi mo may cancer ‘yung mga tao na may sakit like cancer, diabetes, high blood, respiratory illness this people are the most vulnerable sa COVID-19,” Estrada told Zamora.

“If you are in the right mind Mr. Mayor, you should not be brought your family much less your wife to Baguio, she’s very vulnerable with condition she is right now, dapat hindi mo siya dinadala dahil isang exposure lang yan, kasi ‘yung mga taong may sakit mahina ang immune system niyan lalo na ang asawa, kung mahal mo ang asawa mo dapat pinagpahinga mo muna sa bahay niyo,” he added.

Estrada also questioned why Zamora claimed that his wife was still undergoing treatment despite his past social media post last year declaring his partner already cancer-free.

“Sinabi mo noong November, cancer free na ‘yung misis mo tapos now sinasabi mo na may medical treatment?” he asked.

Estrada also urged his political enemy to avoid using his wife’s health as an alibi.

“Mayor kawawa ‘yung misis mo, h’wag mo masyadong gamitin sa mga palusot mo,” he said.

He then mentioned how Zamora stopped his relief distribution and invited him to the police station because of allegedly violating quarantine rules.

“Ngayon ikaw naman ang hindi sumunod, Mayor ka ha alam mo na dapat ang mga rules and regulations bawat siyudad you knew you had to ask for a permit from the local government of Baguio to enter dahil alam mo na mahigpit sa Baguio,” 

According to Estrada, Zamora put San Juan City in a bad light because of the actions he did.

He also blamed Zamora for what happened to the five policemen relieved from their position because of joining his convoy.

Estrada asked if the San Juan City mayor could provide the needs of the relieved policemen who only followed orders from him.

“Bakit ang dami dami mong kasamang pulis? Alam mo, matagal na akong Mayor ng San juan, dalawa lang ang security ko, isa lang ang back up ko, pero ikaw? Kabago bago mo lang Mayor dito, lima ang pulis mo, may mobile car ka sa harap, may backup ka pa sa likod, anim ang kotse, yung convoy mo.. bakit ang dami mong entourage, bakit 30?” he asked.

“Kung ang pakay mo lang sa Baguio ay magpahinga kayo ng pamilya mo, eh bakit ang dami mong kasama? Diba dapat may privacy kayong tinawag?” he added.

Because of the security detail of Zamora, Estrada couldn’t stop comparing the Mayor of San Juan to the President of the Philippines.

According to some reports, the entourage of Zamora consisted of two police escorts, a VIP car, one van for backup, one marked police car, and one swat pickup.

“Anak ng tinapa, dinala mo na lahat ng pulis diyan sa Baguio, diyos ko, kulang nalang ambulansya para feeling President ka na,” he said.

Hindi ko na maalala! Gabby Lopez forgets how he acquire his driver’s license

ABS-CBN chairman emeritus Gabby Lopez told the lawmakers that he already forgot how he acquired his Philippine driver’s license.

The driver’s license issue was brought up by ANAKALUSUGAN party-list Mike Defensor.

“Hindi ko na maalala, matagal ko ng ginagamit ‘yung driver’s license ko,” Lopez said.

Defensor explained that he asked about it because Lopez latter was supposed to get an International Driving Permit instead of a Philippine driver’s license because he’s still an American citizen during the time he applied for a license.

“Nagtataka ako nakakuha po kayo ng driver’s license pagkatapos po ay nakapag register kayo as a voter, pero ‘yung recognition po nakuha niyo noong 2001… kasi kung magre-register ako sa COMELEC, I would need to show that I’m a Filipino and if you register po sa driver’s license pagka American ang pinakita niyo na birth certificate, diba ang ibinibigay nila usually ay ‘yung international driver’s license, meaning to say meron sana na naging process na nagkaroon kayo ng recognition, hindi ko po maintindihan Mr. Lopez,” Defensor said.

Lopez said that he would review how he got his Philippine driver’s license and also his voter’s ID.

Defensor pointed out that there are many people who have the same status as Lopez, but they underwent a longer process.

“There are many Filipino-Americans and before they get a driver’s license they go to a process, before they vote and register to COMELEC they go to a process pero parang dito ho, parang dito kapag kumuha kayo ng driver’s license ay bibigyan kayo kagad at pag nag register kayo ay pwede po kagad,” he said.

“So it’s either we have a problem with our government agencies, that you know, they just gave it out or meron po tayong nami-miss na process doon po sa pagkakuha po nitong lisensya at voter’s id,” he added.

Defensor also asked if Lopez finished his Philippine Military Training in the Philippines (PMT) or his Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC), but the latter said that he didn’t take it.

Lopez was being accused of violating the 100% Filipino ownership of mass media because of his citizenship.

 

 

Rep. Marcoleta asks Gabby Lopez to recite ‘Panatang Makabayan’ to prove his allegiance to the Philippines

Deputy Speaker Rodante Marcoleta grilled ABS-CBN chairman emeritus Gabby Lopez on his allegiance to the Philippines.

During the fourth day of the ABS-CBN franchise hearing, Marcoleta said that Lopez’s service to the Filipinos is not enough evidence to prove his allegiance to the country.

To make the discussion shorter, Marcoleta requested to Lopez to recite the first line of ‘Panatang Makabayan’ or The Patriotic Oath of the Philippines.

“Would you believe sir that after ABS-CBN was granted a franchise of more than 50 years, this Congress has earned its right to know from you personally, are you participating in our political process, how did you pay your taxes, how do you value your oath as a Filipino, eto po ang kailangan Mr. Lopez,” Marcoleta said.

“Ganito na lamang po para siguro matapos tayo sa issue ng allegiance, mawalang galang na po Mr. Lopez, pwede ba naming hilingin sa inyo na i-recite ninyo yung unang linya ng ‘Panatang Makabayan’,” he added.

It can be seen that Lopez couldn’t respond quickly to the challenge of Marcoleta.

While waiting for Lopez’s response, Marcoleta even asked Bayan Muna party-list, Rep. Carlos Zarate, if he wanted to coach the ABS-CBN chairman.

Zarate is one of the lawmakers who pushed for the ABS-CBN franchise.

“Congressman Zarate baka gusto niyo ng tulungan,” Marcoleta said.

However, Zarate didn’t like what Marcoleta said and asked the committee to strike out the comment of the latter.

The two almost clashed, but the committee suspended the session to control the situation.

When the hearing continued, Marcoleta claimed that Lopez recited the first line of ‘Panatang Makabayan’ correctly after being coached by his lawyer.

Marcoleta said that America, Philippines, and other countries required its citizens to give their 100% allegiance to their country.

He then asked Lopez which country will he defend if ever that the Philippines declares war against America.

“I’m a Filipino and I would take the side of the Philippines,” Lopez said.
