Lexter ‘Boy Dila’ Castro finally met the man who made him infamous on social media.

On July 4, 2024, San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora met Lexter again to introduce the delivery rider he poured water on during the ‘Wattah, Wattah Festival.’

As a gesture of his sincere apology, Lexter gave the delivery rider a helmet and rain jacket.

The delivery rider decided not to file a complaint against Lexter after their meeting.

“Noong nagbigay si Lexter Castro ng public apology, binanggit niya na gusto niya sana makaharap yung rider na binasa niya upang makahingi siya ng paumanhin ng personal. Kaya atin pong hinikayat and rider na pumunta sa San Juan City Hall para ito ay ating maisakatuparan,” said Zamora.

“Kahapon, pumunta na po si manong rider sa aming tanggapan at ngayon araw po ay nakapagharap na sila ni Lexter sa ating opisina. Humingi si Lexter ng paumanhin kay manong rider at hinandugan niya ito ng helmet at kapote. Tinanggap ni manong rider ang paumanhin at pinatawad niya si Lexter sa mga nagawa nito sa kanya,” he added.

It can be recalled that Lexter attempted to meet the delivery rider several times.

Jed Madela was in hot water after his talent manager, Annie Mercado, publicly called out the singer for allegedly using his new single, “Wish u the Worst,” to secretly criticize his management.

In a Facebook post, Annie said the song was about them.

“Since he went public via a song, I am no longer going to keep quiet about this person. I’m naming him don’t worry. This song is about relationships but we’re not d*mb to think its not about us, the very family who took good care of him and loved him from the day he set foor in Manila. So yeah I’m not playing the game of this ungrateful man anymore,” she said.

“Wish u the worst” (his new song) – this song tells you so much about the kind of person the singer truly is. Title pa lang he invested oon negativity na. Its full of negativity, hate, and bitterness always playing the “victim” when is is the offender. He’s always played the game “if the shoe fits”… Well sorry, I don’t wannt play…. I don’t hide behind songs and post with double meanings.

“Jed Madela, don’t taunt me with a song. Panindigan mo yan ha. Let’s go to the press and tell all. If you don’t wannt, I will think people wanna know the truth,” she added.

The talent manager also revealed that Jed became physical with her when the latter was allegedly asking for money.

“Its all about money for Jed. He got physical with me because he wants more money (details soon). Fame and fortune got to his head he forgets. He actually said it that money is more important to him than family. People will eventually see the really person that he is,” she said.

As of writing, Jed has yet to give his response to his manager.

Actor Xian Lim possibly made a huge blunder that may result in them being included on the immigration watchlist.

In his Instagram post, Xian posted a photo taken during the pre-production of the movie’ Kuman Thong, ‘ which his partner, Iris Lee, produced in Thailand.

In the photo, taken during a meeting before their flight to Thailand, Iris is seen giving instructions to his production staff on what to tell the immigration officials.

The instruction showed that their production staff should tell the immigration that they’re not going to Thailand to produce a movie.

Some netizens believed that Iris asked her production team to purposely lie to the immigration officials about their real intention in Thailand.

“Lowkey admitting that the Filipino movies taken from other countries are borderline illegal,” netizen Tenwina said.

“Mas kikilatisin mga Pinoy na papasok ng Thailand kung sakali,” another netizen commented.

However, some netizens said that many Filipino movies produced in other countries did the same thing to save money.

“This isn’t actually an uncommon thing. Most Pinoy films shot abroad are done by guerilla shooting kasi it raises the budget too high to do otherwise. Watch interviews of actors/directors of movies shot abroad when they promote they’ll freely say they had to hurry, no time to set up, they shot ng patago in public. And we’re not the only country that does this. Feeling ko Hollywood lang siguro ang mas consistently gagawa na permitted lahat, but even then sometimes hindi pa rin lalo na pag smaller studios more so if indie,” a netizen said.

As of writing, Xian and Iris have yet to comment on the said photo.

DJ Mo Twister dropped a huge revelation during the latest episode of Good Times With Mo.

In the episode, Mo talked about his separation from his partner, Angelicopter, and their issue was already heading toward divorce.

Mo even gave a hint about how his condition in the previous months by showing several scars on his face.

When one of the hosts asked if there was a third-party involved on the issue, Mo refused to disclose it, saying that he wanted to protect his children.

Some show subscribers said that Mo didn’t intend to show the photos and quickly removed them when he realized that they were being shown on screen.

“He shared something na Chopper made him feel like he’s a burden whenever he’s sick like when he has a fever.. so sorry for him to live a married life like his,” one of DJ Mo’s listener said.

“Hearing about their relationship during podcasts I always wondered how Mo held up being in that kind of situation for so long. I always felt that Chopper is this kind of an ultra alpha female, na sobrang woke. I always assumed that they are very good parents to their kids thats why they are still together. Pero as a husband and wife, i did not think that their marriage was about that anymore, but more on as parents nalang. And we all saw even the toughest guy that we know gives up. People will always have an enough is enough point, no matter how long it takes to get there. Basta ako, I never liked her and I always saw her as a self righteous s.o.b. , thats always the case most of the time mga 90% ;), when a person never accepts defeat even in the littlest arguement. But I never doubted her being a good mother, just wish it stays that way at least for the kids,” another netizen said.

The recorded version of the episode was also deleted on YouTube.

A photo of Lexter ‘Boy Dila’ Castro went viral on social media after some netizens saw his resemblance to Kapamilya actor Kyle Echarri.

The photo was taken when Lexter was being presented to the public by San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora.

“Infairness may itsura pero boy dila padin,” netizen Saima said.

“Nang yan mga pinoy talaga… Yung bad guy ka pero magiging hero kapa kasi guapo ka malilimutan ang ginawa mong pereisyo kasi guapo ka. Huwag niyo gawin bida yan. Tapos magkakaroon ng vlog na yan. Kikita pa. Edi sino nagwagi???” netizen Jeffrey commented.

However, some netizens believed the photo was edited to enhance Lexter’s appearance.

It’s unknown if Lexter will try to explore the opportunities waiting for him as he is already known on social media.

It can be recalled that Castro went viral on social media due to his unruly behavior during the ‘Wattah, Wattah Festival.’

He already made a public apology twice for what he did and now trying to clean his image by showing his good deeds via his vlogs.

SB19 member Stell Ajero reacted to Raquel Pempengco’s comparison of him and her child, Jake Zyrus.

In an interview with Ogie Diaz, Stell said he couldn’t understand why people must compare to artists despite their different talents.

He said it would be better if netizens stopped comparing him to Charice.

“For me naman po, ewan ko po sa mga Pinoy pero hindi po nila maiwasang magkumpara. Sa totoo lang po, bawat isang artist may kani-kaniya naman po ‘yang galing, something special to offer. And ‘yong pagkukumpara, parang dapat alisin na po natin sa isip natin ‘yon kasi si Charice, si Charice na po ‘yon. Nagawa niya na po ‘yon, nakapag-iwan na po siya ng mark, at kung ano po ‘yong ginawa ko, ‘yon naman po ‘yong sarili kong interpretasyon,” said Stell.

He also understood why Raquel was rooting for Jake since it was her child.

“Siyempre nanay po siya, siyempre para sa mga mata ng nanay, anak nila ‘yong pinakamagaling. Pero hindi ko naman po siya masisisi doon po sa nasabi niyang salita, kasi sa kaniya po ‘yon eh, opinyon niya po, and wala naman akong magagawa ro’n,” he stated.

It can be recalled that Raquel went viral on social media after he compared Stell’s performance of “All By Myself” to Charice’s version.

“Gulatin mo din ang mga tao, mag Charice Pempengco ka ulit,” said Raquel. “Pero infairness magaling si Stell Ajero, mala Jed Madela din, but still don’t compare with Charice,”

“Oops just saying lang ha, it’s my own opinion dadami na naman basher ko,” she added.

Lexter “Boy Dila” Castro launched an activity to redeem his image to the delivery rider community.

On June 3, 2024, Lexter traveled with his friends to different parts of San Juan City to distribute free meals for the delivery riders.

He became infamous on social media after he was seen pouring water on a delivery rider during the ‘Wattah, Wattah Festival’ despite the pleading of the latter not to wet him.

In the video, it can be seen that Lexter was also recognized by some riders, who even teased him about what he did last month.

Some netizens saw his gesture as a way to clean his image and to show that his public apology was sincere.

Just a day before his philanthropic activity, Lexter faced San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora and the public to apologize for his actions.

He also vowed not to stick his tongue out anymore or act unruly again in the future.

“Ako’y nagpapasalamat sa kanya [Castro] dahil naglakas loob siya na pumunta dito at aminin ang kanyang mga kasalanan, aminin ang kanyang mga nagawa, humingi ng tawad at paumanhin,” said Zamora.

“Para sa kanya, ito ‘yung leksyon na sinasabi ko, isang bagay na hindi niya makakalimutan dahil natuto siyang magpakumbaba, humingi ng tawad at magbago at hindi niya na ilalabas ang kanyang dila dahil ang kanyang ipinangako at hindi narin siya magiging mayabang sa anumang paraan,” he added.

During their meeting, Rosmar also gave cash and P50,000 worth of her beauty products to Jiro so he could start a business.

“Meron akong Rosmar Products skin care, papadalhan kita ng worth 50 thousands products ng skin care na pwede mong panimula, ang  gagawin mo lang magbebenta ka lang,”  she said.

Jiro was one of the most talented actors during his popularity and even won multiple awards despite his young age.

Batangas Vice Governor Mark Leviste ended his silence after his former partner, Kris Aquino, confirmed she already had a new boyfriend.

According to Mark, he was on good terms with Kris and didn’t have any bad blood with the television host.

“As Kris said we’re still ‘friendly.’ Sa totoo lang, wala naman nagbago sa akin, at wala din naman akong sama ng loob at hihinakit sa kanya. As a matter of fact, I am in the States now, while Bimb is back home,” he said.

“I assured Kris, Bimb, Kris’s sisters, and their household help in Orange County that if there’s anything I can do for them, I’ll be there. If I am needed in any way, I will make myself available for them immediately,” he added.

It can be recalled that Mark claimed before that he reconciled with Kris after their first breakup.

However, in an interview with Ogie Diaz, Kris denied that a reconciliation happened between them.

“Yes definitely, walang balikan na mangyayari,” said Kris. “Nagkalabuan na magmula November. Sinubukang ayusin pero may mga nalaman ako na hindi ko gusto,”

Kris also confirmed that her boyfriend was a Filipino doctor who’s based in the Philippines, saying that she could now go home as she was sure that someone would take care of her condition.

“He’s part of the reasons why I’m confident na pwede akong umuwi, kasi alam ko na there’s someone who will help in taking care of me. So obviously, by saying that, alam na nila na he’s a doctor based in the Philippines — in Makati,” she said.

The sister of the late content creator, who passed away due to overeating fatty food, had expressed her disappointment with the comments they were receiving on social media.

Dongz Apatan’s sister, Leah, told GMA News how they were affected by the comments written by some netizens to criticize and make fun of her brother’s passing.

She also denied that Dongz was eating too much food.

“Nasasaktan talaga kami na ginagawa siyang katatawanan ng mga tao na parang walang respeto dahil sa content na kinukuha na hindi tama ang info,” ani Leah.

“Kasi andaming comment na si manoy lang daw kasi deserve daw mamatay dahil gahaman sa pagkain pero content lang naman yan. Hindi siya talaga malakas kumain. Hindi rin niya inuubos din. Hindi gahaman si manoy. Marami siyang natulungan,” dagdag niya pa.

Leah was currently trying to raise funds to help the children left by Dongz as his brother didn’t leave any cent during his passing despite having 400,000 followers.

Meanwhile, cardiologist Dr. Tony Leachon reminded the public to be careful about what they eat.

“Lesson learn ito sa ating lahat, pag naging habit ito, your habits dictates your behavior and your behavior determines your destiny, ang pagkain talaga pag sobra hindi maganda lalo na kapag maalat, mataba at matamis,” he stated.
