Annabelle Rama clarifies that she do not want Richard Gutierrez and Sarah Lahbati to separate

Talent manager Annabelle Rama criticized the misleading information surrounding her interview with ABS-CBN.

In her Facebook post, Annabelle clarified that it was never her willingness to see her son and daughter-in-law part ways because it would affect her grandchildren.

“Mga Chismosang Marites!! Tigilan nyo na ang gumawa ng maling kwento. Lahat ng lumabas sa sosyal media is all fake news. Wag nyo ng dagdagan ang mga maling balita malalaman nyo rin ang katotohanan in due time. Baka ma shock kayo at hindi na ako ang lalabas na kontrabida. Malalaman niyo kung sino ang walang hiya na kontrabida. Mali ang bentang nyo sakin.

“Sino ba ang may gustong maghiwalay sila. Alo ba? Or ang mag ina. Wag nyong idiin sa akin ang nangyayari ngayon,” she stated.

It can be recalled that Annabelle took a swipe against Sarah during an interview with ABS-CBN, saying that Sarah was spending money while Richard was working hard.

“Si Richard nasa bahay ko ngayon one month na. Pero unti-unti siyang lumilipat ng gamit sa Alabang. Lilipat na siya mga siguro after Christmas,” she disclsoed.

“Lahat kami pupunta ng Japan. Christmas hanggang January 3. Sama-sama buong pamilya ko, minus one,” she added.

As of writing, the celebrity couple kept mum on the issue.

TAPE Inc. bigong mag-apela sa trademark rights ng Eat Bulaga

Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc. failed to secure a successful appeal to the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) over the trademark ownership of the Eat Bulaga title.

According to TVJ Productions Chairman Tito Sotto, TAPE’s appeal was quickly dismissed, which means that the government officially recognized TVJ as the trademark owner of Eat Bulaga branding.

“Appeal of tape re eat bulaga IPC class 41 dismissed! The People recognized TVJ as Eat Bulaga! Now, GOVT officially recognizes them as such. The others are exponents of sham,” said Sotto.

Several experts believed that the ruling made by IPOPHL would also influence the decision on the copyright infringement complaint filed by TVJ against TAPE before the Marikina Court.

As of writing, TAPE has yet to give any statement about their next legal move after IPOPHL’s rejection.

Meanwhile, netizens celebrated the latest victory of TVJ against their former production company.

“Congrats to TVJ and to the dabarkads Tito Sen…kudos also to DivinaLaw for a job well done magaling talaga. Just be humble in victory and that’s where I admire Bossing Vic,” netizen @arvpasc70 said.

“Baka po hindi na ubra ang pagiging mabait nyo this time. Kapalmuks na ng kabila. Patigasan ng mukha. Basta kami legit dabarkada orig Eat Bulaga lang sa tanghalian,” netizen Charmed commented.

 

Annabelle Rama, tinawag na ‘gastadora’ si Sarah Lahbati: “Si Richard trabaho nang trabaho”

Talent manager Annabelle Rama publicly criticized her daughter-in-law Sarah Lahbati amid the separation rumors between the latter and Richard Gutierrez.

In an interview with GMA News, Annabelle said that Richard was working hard, but at the same time, Sarah allegedly only knew how to spend money.

“Nakikita mo naman, hindi mo na kailangang magsalita pa. Nakikita mo na yan. Si Richard trabaho nang trabaho, yung isa nagwawaldas ng pera. Yun lang ang masasabi ko diyan,” said Annabelle.

She also confirmed that Richard was already living with her again, far away from Sarah.

Annabelle swiped at Sarah, saying that the Gutierrez family would spend their Christmas abroad without the actress.

“Si Richard nasa bahay ko ngayon one month na. Pero unti-unti siyang lumilipat ng gamit sa Alabang. Lilipat na siya mga siguro after Christmas,” she disclsoed.

“Lahat kami pupunta ng Japan. Christmas hanggang January 3. Sama-sama buong pamilya ko, minus one,” she added.

As of writing, Sarah has not disclosed anything about her real status with Richard, whom she married in 2020.

Separation rumors started between the two when netizens noticed that Sarah and Richard were not posting any photos together, which was unusual as they’re known to be showy when it comes to their sweetness.

Vic Sotto ibinunyag kung kailan ang tamang oras para gamitin nila muli ang titulong ‘Eat Bulaga’

E.A.T host Vic Sotto believed it was the right timing for them to finally use the ‘Eat Bulaga’ title amid their legal battle against their former handler, Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc.

During a press conference held at E.A.T studios on December 6, 2023, Vic said they would only use the title of the longest-running noontime show again when TAPE Inc. finally stopped using it.

According to him, it would be better for TAPE Inc. to respect the real owners of the Eat Bulaga title, which was believed to be coined by Joey de Leon.

“Siguro pag tumigil na ‘yung gumagamit na iba at nagpakita ng respeto, ‘yun na siguro ang tamang panahon [na gamitin],” said Vic.

“Pagka nagpakita an sila ng respeto at tigilan na nila ang panggagamit ng hindi sa kanila e mas masaya  at siguradong hindi lang Merry Christmas kundi Happy New Year talaga!” he added.

However, it seems that TAPE Inc. would not surrender the title ‘Eat Bulaga’ even after the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) removed the company’s trademark rights on the title of the popular noontime show.

According to Atty. Maggie Abraham-Garduque, they would use all legal remedies to appeal the said decision.

IPOPHL’s decision might influence the other complaints filed by TVJ against TAPE Inc.

Celebrity Chiropractor Dr. Tyler Bigenho addressed the spread of his private video on social media, which quickly spread in the Philippine webspace.

In his video, the doctor said that due to the spread of the video, he was subjected to blackmailing and negative messages from the netizens.

“Over the past week I have been the victim of blackmail and extortion over social media, and it’s been probably the worst week of my life. And I wanna thank everybody who knows about the situation, who has reached out and offered words of support and encouragement, I really appreciate you, thank you so much,” said Tyler.

“It’s really hard and I’ve never gone through like this before, I can’t say much more than that, because there are high-level authorities involved in this case…” he added.

Tyler also said that he would cancel his visit to the Philippines due to the unsafeness of his situation.

“Might have to cancel my trip to the Philippines in March 2024. Don’t feel safe,” he said.

As of writing, the said video was still circulating on social media, but the doctor has yet to give any of his plans on how would he handle the situation.

Abogado ng TAPE, sinabing wala paring karapatan ang TVJ na gamitin ang Eat Bulaga title

The lawyer of Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc. insisted that Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon were still not allowed to use the title ‘Eat Bulaga’ on television despite the decision of the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL).

It can be recalled that IPOPHL removed the trademark owners of TAPE over Eat Bulaga on December 5, 2023.

However, Atty. Maggie Abraham-Garduque said that they would still appeal the decision made by IPOPHL.

“It is the vehement submission of TAPE that they can still use ‘Eat Bulaga’ since the decision of the hearing officer of the BLA-IPO [Bureau of Legal Affairs-Intellectual Property Office] is not yet final and in fact appealable. Likewise, TVJ cannot use it on their show as their application with the Bureau of Trademarks has not been granted,” the lawyer said in a statement.

“In the event that TVJ preemptively use it on their show, TAPE will definitely file cases against TVJ and TVJ Productions to protect the interest of TAPE Inc,” she added.

Meanwhile, TVJ described the decision as an ‘early Christmas gift’ for the Dabarkads, but they didn’t disclose when they would use the Eat Bulaga title.

TVJ’s lawyer, Atty. Buko Dela Cruz also said that TVJ was really allowed to use the Eat Bulaga title even without any decision from IPOPHL or court.

Kaya immune sa silos? Jak Roberto, nali-link sa Vivamax actress Ava Mendez

Amid the successive breakups between celebrity couples, Jak Roberto didn’t evade the eagle-eyed netizens after being spotted with Vivamax actress Ava Mendez.

Jak was being named on several posts on social media after a story from an anonymous source claimed that the two celebrities had sweet moments during a party held at a hotel.

The said event was a birthday party of Jak and Ava’s common friend.

The said story was circulated on several social media platforms, and the source even challenged the netizens to ask for CCTV footage of the hotel.

However, most netizens were skeptical of the story, saying Jak would never betray his partner, Barbie Forteza.

They also criticized the alleged source, saying that hotel staff like Giezel must not disclose any information about their guests even if the story was true.

It was also impossible for anyone to ask an establishment for CCTV footage unless a serious incident required investigation.

As of writing, Jak has yet to address the rumors.

Ava also had a short relationship with rapper Skusta Clee.

Aside from Jak, Daniel Padilla, Xian Lim, Mavy Agustin, and Richard Gutierrez also faced breakup rumors with their celebrity partners.

Ang taray! Ina ni Andrea Brillantes, nakatanggap ng batikos sa mga netizens

Andrea Brillantes’ mother went viral on social media after she answered back to a netizen’s question about her daughter.

On her Instagram post, Belle Brillantes took a swipe against the critics of her daughter, who was being blamed for the breakup of Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla.

Andrea was being linked to Daniel, and her silence fueled the speculations that the rumors were true.

Belle addressed the criticisms, saying she would ignore the negative comments against them.

“So much hatred in the net these days. We turned into bunch of savages. Spread all that hate and lies, these negativity will not break my spirit. I am thankful for being alive, my kids and my mom being healthy. Im surrounded by people with so much love and compassion. Hate is baggage, life is too short to be angry all the time. I may not be getting the numbers that im aiming but i shall compete again tomorrow, i will finish this competition, bahala kayo dyan lahat magkagulo,” Belle wrote.

However, Belle couldn’t stop herself when a netizen asked how she raised her daughter.

“Paano? Napagtapos nya sa school mga kapatid nya, nakapag pagawa ng bahay , may sariling negosyo , ikaw anong ambag mo sa mundo?” Belle said.

Instead of receiving support, Belle has been criticized by internet celebrities and netizens, including Xian Gaza.

According to him, it was Belle’s responsibility to fund the education of her children and not Andrea.

“Mommy Belle, hindi ka po dapat proud na si Andrea ang nakapagpagawa ng bahay niyo at nakapagpatapos ng mga anak mo sa school. Kasi kapag ipinagsigawan mo po ito eh para mo pong siniraan yung sarili mo sa publiko. Hindi ko po kayo maaaring husgahan dahil hindi ko po alam ang buong kwento ng inyong pamilya. Ang akin lang eh mag-ingat po tayo sa mga binibitawang salita in public at huwag magpadala sa silakbo ng damdamin,” said Xian.

“To the public, responsibilidad ng isang magulang na mapagtapos kayo hanggang grade 12. Bonus na lang yung college. Responsibilidad din nito na mabigyan kayo ng maayos na tahanan. Hindi niyo responsibilidad yung mga kapatid ninyo. Tumutulong lang kayo sa kanila out of pagmamahal. At kung natulungan nila kayo, ayan ay tinatawag na utang na loob. Huwag niyo silang abusuhin. Hindi nila kayo obligasyon. Hindi nila kasalanan kung bakit hindi makapag-provide ng maayos yung mga magulang niyo. Mahigpit na yakap sa lahat ng mga Ate at Kuya na breadwinner ng pamilya!” he added.

Abogado, sinabing pwedeng gamitin ng TVJ ang Eat Bulaga title kahit kailan

Atty. Buko dela Cruz believed that Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon could use the ‘Eat Bulaga’ title anytime but chose to respect the rule of law.

During a press conference held at E.A.T studios on December 6, 2023, the lawyer of TVJ said that the trademark appeal made by his clients only covered the right to use Eat Bulaga on merchandise, and it doesn’t mean that the veteran comedians were not allowed by law to use the title of the longest-running noontime show.

“Ang opinyon talaga ng Divina Law… pwede nang gamitin kahit noon pa, even before the decision came out dahil nga ‘yung rehistro nila hindi para sa entertainment. Ang rehistro nila ay para sa merchandise gaya ng sinabi ni Tito Sen,” said Atty. Dela Cruz.

However, TVJ chose to respect the due process and let Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc. use the Eat Bulaga title for now.

“Sila ang pumili e. Si TVJ ang nagparaya st sinabing ‘ayaw namin ng gulo. Tutal may proseso, sundan natin ang proseso’. Nirespeto nila. Ngayong lumabas na at sinasabi mismo ng gobyerno na ang talagang may ari ang may karapatan sa title na ‘Eat Bulaga’ o ‘EB’ ay ang TVJ, ay dapat sila naman ang rumespeto para isa lang ang gagamit. Kung ang tanong is kailan pwedeng gamitin, anytime,” he stated.

Vic said that they would only use the Eat Bulaga once TAPE Inc. stopped insisting that they owned the title.

“Siguro pag tumigil na ‘yung gumagamit na iba at nagpakita ng respeto, ‘yun na siguro ang tamang panahon,” he said.

Meanwhile, TAPE Inc. said that they would explore all legal remedies to reverse the decision of the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL).
