Her fall quickly captured the attendees’ attention, and some staff could be seen rushing to check Herlene’s condition.

Her fall received mixed reactions on social media, and some said that based on her personality, it was possible that she intended to fall as part of a comedic stunt.

“Idk why, di na ako nakaka-feel ng 2nd hand embarrassment sa kanya. Siguro naubos na nung nag-dog show sya sa pageant, and other kagagahan,” a netizen said.

“Same here! I have a feeling na sinadya niya din yan so people would talk about her. Impossible they didn’t rehearse that walk. Kahit na they didn’t rehearse you would think na she’s aware enough na may landing don. Or baka boba lang talaga,” another netizen responded.

As of writing, Herlene has yet to give an update about her condition after the fall.

The talent management of BINI, Star Magic, warned the netizens to stop sharing rumors against P-pop groups BINI and BGYO.

In a statement, Joji Alonso, the legal counsel of Star Magic, said that posting and sharing “false allegations” against BINI and BGYO members may face charges.

“BGYO and Bini’s management will take legal action against these emboldened bashers who circulate unfounded rumors,” Atty. Alonso said in a statement last April.

“Appropriate government agencies and private service providers have been tapped to gather evidence and hold these perpetrators accountable for their unlawful behavior. Filing of criminal cases will be set in motion,” she added.

It can be recalled that some members of BINI received criticism on social media after they were spotted at a party hosted by a BGYO member.

BGYO members were facing cheating allegations from the netizens.

Additionally, BINI was also facing criticism on social media due to its decision to wear face masks and glasses while walking at an airport.

Some netizens also called out some members of BINI for making fun of some advice from their fans.

BINI was being handled by media giant ABS-CBN, which proclaimed them the ‘Nation’s Girl Group.’

The resort, which went viral several months ago for offering unlimited swimming for people who could afford their “Pares,” was already up for sale.

In a Facebook post, R Mansion Resort & Restobar in Calauan, Laguna, offered the said establishment to potential buyers.

They also highlighted the 1-hectare resort’s amenities, which include a walk-in closet, gym, staff house, kennel for pets, pool, jacuzzi, billiard hall, events place, and huge parking.

They also mentioned that construction was pending on the establishment, which could be converted into a hotel or warehouse.

They didn’t disclose the amount of the property.

It can be recalled that Rosmar attempted to replicate the success of Deo Balbuena, a.k.a Diwata’s Pares business.

“ROSMAR PARES OVERLOAD P100 lang. UNLI SABAW, UNLI RICE may SOFTDRINKS na rin tapos UNLI SWIMMING pa! Sugod na sa R Mansion Resort & Restobar Calauan Laguna from 10 am to 12 am tayo,” Rosmar said on her post.

“Grabe puno lahat ng kubo at air-conditioned room tapos haba ng pila. ROSMAR PARES LAKAS MO. 6 pm pa lang pero grabe, dinadagsa na agad tayo. P100 lang talaga yan,” she added.

Rosmar didn’t disclose the reason why she was selling the resort.

Netizens were now searching for the suspect behind a vehicle collision that ended the life of a whole family in Laguna.

The incident happened in 2023, and many netizens asked for an update about the case.

According to the reports, the suspect, Alyssa Mae Abitria, who drove a pick-up truck, collided with the tricycle used by a family of Gilbert Palupit, Aileen Palupit, and their children, Ma. Aleisha Gale, Akisha Gillen, Alyssa Joy, and Ayesha Gillian.

Only Aleisha Gale, who was only four years old during the incident, survived.

The investigation showed that Abitria was under the influence when the incident happened.

Abitria was enjoying her temporary freedom after paying a bail worth P120,000.

There were also some reports that she didn’t experience being put behind bars as she was staying at the hospital while they were appealing for bail.

Some netizens believed that she was enjoying her freedom due to her connections.

There were also rumors that Abitria already left the country.

A netizen also shared some information about the incident.

“Nakaduty asawa ko sa hospital kung saan sya dinala nung time ng incident. 20-30 mins pagkadating daw ni killer sa hospital, may dumating na mga sasakyan na may kasamang mga abogado (alphard yung natatandaan ko na sabi ni misis). Napaka arte daw nyan at parang walang remorse. Andaming kinocomplain na masakit kahit tapos na siya makita ng doktor at sinabi na ok na siya para ma inquest ng pulis. Dumating pa sa point na yung chief ng calamba pnp ang nakipagusap para madala siya sa presinto,” the netizen narrated.

As of writing, Abitria’s camp has yet to give any update on the whereabouts of the suspect.

A fan war was brewing between the fans of P-pop group BINI and girl group Sexbomb dancers amid the controversy faced by the Kapamilya dancers.

Amid the controversy being faced by BINI, some netizens said that Sexbomb, during their popularity, didn’t act like they were concealing themselves when they were in public places.

At the same time, some fans of BINI also criticized Sexbomb fans as a retaliation.

The issue already sparked a conversation on the official fan group of Sexbomb Girls.

“Linawin ko lang ah. Ang mga fans ng Sexbomb “yung iba including me” for sure fan din ng Bini. Hindi kami/tayo nakikipag away sa blooms pero mali naman sa paningin ko na idedegrade ang sexbomb sa comment section sa issue na wala naman silang kinalaman,” netizen Dang said.

Some fans of the 2000s girl group couldn’t stop themselves from also responding to Blooms.

“Ayy naku kaloka…yang mga buni na yan…. feeling nila talaga super sikat na sila… well nagkapangalan sila dahil malaki ginastos na promotion sa kanila at hindi basta basta ha..ABS CBN ba namam.. pero waley parin sila pagdating sa Grupong Sexbomb Girls Official Fan Group minahal ng masa at sumikat dahil sa pagiging natural,” a netizen said.

“Hinde naman sikat Ang bini, Wala Sila kasikatan nang sexbomb girls dati at ngyon sikat parin Sila…un BINI na Yan kapated nila AY BUNI?” another netizen commented.

However, some fans of Sexbomb also defended BINI, saying that people should support the Nation’s girl group.

“Just enjoy the music of this generation of opm just like we did back in the day with sexbomb. Ika nga tangkilikin natin ang sariling atin. Let the kids of this generation enjoy it para may maikuwento din sila sa future kids nila just like we did with sb,” a netizen remarked.

Aga Mulach made his reaction on the possible loveteam being brewed for Kapamilya actor Daniel Padilla and his daughter, Atasha Mulach.

In an interview during the media conference of ‘Da Pers Family,’ Aga said he would not interfere with the talent agency that handles Atasha.

He was confident that Atasha could decide on her own now since he had raised her to become an independent individual.

Aga said that Atasha’s twin, Andres, also enjoyed the same treatment.

“Hindi ako pwedeng makialam that’s why may management team sila.. doon sila, that’s their line basta bahala sila,” said Aga.

“Kasi kung anong naging best move for me might not work for them, if it works for them then it gonna happen. Wala naman akong magagawa…kung baga kung saan papunta ang trabaho nila. Wala naman akong kokontrahin kahit saan,” he added.

It can be recalled that some netizens opposed the possibility of pairing Atasha with Daniel due to the actor’s current reputation after his breakup with Kathryn Bernardo.

As of this writing, Atasha and Daniel have yet to comment on the rumors.

Television host Willie Revillame took a swipe against the competitor of his show, Family Feud.

During the July 16 episode of Wil To Win, Willie addressed his audience and discussed how GMA Network flexed their rating to show that Family Feud outranked the Kapatid show.

It can be recalled that on July 15, 2024, Wil To Win only had 2.7% viewership compared to Family Feud’s 9.6%.

Willie said that he was not affected by comparing the ratings between his show and Family Feud.

“Alam niyo nakakatuwa ang buhay, para sakin ang ratings kayo. Kung may makikita kayo na pinapakita nila ratings nila na mataas sila, hindi ho kami naapektuhan kasi ang puso namin magbigay ng saya at pag-asa sainyo,” said Willie.

He also said that what was more important was their show was original.

“Okay lang naman ‘yan, wala naman kaming ano. Basta tuloy tuloy lang magtrabaho dito sa TV5. Ayusin namin mapasaya kayo araw araw at ang importante ang show na ‘to ay original. Inisip ‘to para sa inyo. Hindi ‘to binibili sa ibang bansa. Ito po ay gaya namin, habang buhay may programa kayo,” he stated.

The television host even questioned why his daughter, Meryll Soriano, and sister-in-law, Maricel Soriano, became guests of Family Feud on July 15.

“Saka hindi kami nakatape, naka-live kami. Saka ang nakakatuwa ho ‘yung naglive ako kahapon ‘yung anak ko, si Ms. Maricel at ‘yung aking mga ano tinapat pa sa programa ko so ibig sabihin, ‘Bakit? Ano ba ‘to, labanan ba ‘to,’ Tulungan natin ang mga kababayan nating naghihirap. Basta kami ayun lang ang purpose namin,” he stated.

It can be recalled that Willie’s show quickly gained controversy due to some errors that occurred during the show.

Willie could also be seen being stressed out by his staff and even reprimanded them live.

Director Ronaldo Carballo couldn’t hide his frustrations after Kim Domingo replaced Ivana Alawi as the new love interest of FPJ’s Batang Quiapo star and director Coco Martin.

In his Facebook post, Director Ronaldo Carballo badmouthed Kim and even said that GMA Network dumped her.

“Sayang kase, umalis na si Ivana Alawi sa show as Bubbles. Si Ivana na tunay na maganda, sexy, at tunay na mahusay na aktres,” Carballo wrote.

“Sana kumuha man lang sila ng kapalit ni Ivana na maganda rin talaga at mahusay pang aktres. Tulad nung pinalitan ni Ivana si Lovi Poe. Talagang tinalbugan nya ang prescense ni Lovi,” he added.

According to him, Kim would never reach any success in her career.

Kim has yet to respond to Carballo’s criticisms of her.

On July 17, Batang Quiapo revealed Kim’s new character on the show.

She portrayed Madonna, who quickly went head-to-head with Coco’s character, Tanggol.

People behind Batang Quiapo vowed that Kim’s addition to the show would make the story more action-packed.

In a social media post, Kim expressed her surprise at how hard it was to perform action scenes but was thankful to receive such a break.

A writer and mariner couldn’t stop himself from calling out BINI amid the controversy being faced by the group due to their alleged ‘pa-VIP’ attitude.

In his Facebook post, Lacruiser Relativo compared Sarah Geronimo to BINI, saying that the Popstar Princess knew how to handle controversies and criticisms better than the P-pop group.

Relativo also dubbed BINI as the ‘shame’ of the current generation due to their attitude.

“There are 2 types of people in this generation: Sara G, despite controversy, choose to acknowledge it, grow and move forward. BINI, on the other hand, cover it up as if it will save them for eternity. Such a shame to have you in this generation!” said Relativo.

Meanwhile, several fans of BINI quickly swarmed Relativo’s social media page.

“Eh ano bang dapat iacknowledge nila? Anong icocover up? Ni hindi mo nga masagot anong mistake nila!! Wala silang mistake to own up to in the first place. It’s never wrong to wear facemasks and shades in public even if you’re an artist. Yun lang naman pinuputok ng butche niyo diba? Yung pagiging “feeling sikat and feeling kpop nila”. The problem is negative lang yung view niyo kasi nga bashers kayo, whatever it takes, you will always find a hole. I pity ya’ll. You can’t even differentiate a mistake from a normal action,” netizen Ces said.

“Anong iaacknowledge ni Sarah G di naman siya yung binabash? HAHAHA and is this people worth being acknowledged? sumunod lang naman sila sa gusto ng bashers ah, ngayon lalo sila napasama HAHAHA funny how some people’s mindset work,” netizen Zachael remarked.

It can be recalled that BINI was called out by some netizens for wearing a face mask and shades during their arrival at an airport several days ago.

BINI then made another round on social media after they wore a full-face mask and hoodie, which fans believed was a retaliation to the criticism they received.
