The lawyer of Sonshine Media Network International (SMNI) urged the netizens to boycott a company known for selling their iconic Lechon Manok.

In a Facebook post, Atty. Mark Tolentino, one of the lawyers of SMNI and Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) leader Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, called out the said company for using the latter for their social media advertisement.

The advertisement showed a photo of Quiboloy taken after the government presented him to the press following his arrest.

Tolentino said that the company must apologize, or else they would file charges against them for allegedly making fun of the pastor.

“Boycott natin ang Chooks-to-Go! This is an Irresponsible and unethical advertisement and considered as a Cybercrime! Chooks-to-Go, Apologize or face a suit!” said Tolentino.

The advertisement has already been deleted from social media.

Tolentino’s post received mixed reactions from the netizens; some of them said that there was nothing wrong with the advertisement, while others believed that the company would not delete it if they didn’t see anything unethical with the photo.

As of this writing, the company has yet to release a statement on the boycott it is facing.

It’s Showtime host Ryan Bang gave friendly advice to his fans, especially those belonging to Generation Z.

In an interview with Bella Padilla, Ryan shared how he learned to love and respect his parents, which he believed was one of the secrets to why blessings kept coming to his life.

“Always listen to your parents. Kasi when I was 14, I thought many people cared about me. But they really don’t care about other people eh. Who really cares about you is your family and parents lang. No one really cares about you that much,” said Ryan.

“You pray to God, and you listen to your parents. That’s my most secret. And when you grow old, you have to honor your parents para i-bless ka ni Lord. Yun lang naman yun eh. Yun yung payo ko sa mga kabataan,” he added.

Ryan went viral on social media because of his timely advice, which netizens believed could be applied now amid the issue being faced by two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo.

It can be recalled that the Filipino gymnast was facing criticism on social media after he expressed his disappointment to his parents, which ended for them not talking or seeing each other.

A lawyer gave his opinion amid the issue between a pet owner and a posh restaurant in Tagaytay.

It can be recalled that Balay Dako in Tagaytay was facing criticism on social media after a customer complained about how the restaurant management barred his Aspin pet, Yoda’ from entering the establishment.

The customer received support on social media, especially from the Animal Rights group.

However, Atty. Wilfredo Garrido said that restaurants should not give access to pets in the first place and called the said practice unsanitary.

“Enough of these self-entitled folks who insist in bringing their pets inside restaurants.  We don’t want to eat beside your dogs or cats or what call your “fur babies”. Or snakes or monkeys, for that matter. It’s simply unsanitary,” said Garrido.

“We don’t want to dine out with fur floating around or something slobbering or barking in the nearby tables. Or smelling something unpalatable. Or using plates or utensils that might have been touched in the slightest by the paws or bodily fluids of these critters. Your place is worse than a hospital ward. It’s okay to bring your pets into the corridors. Or hallways. Or churches, even. Or inside hospital wards. But inside eating places, no effing way,” he added.

He also believed that food establishments allowing customers with dogs must  not pass any sanitary inspection.

Garrido’s post has already received hundreds of reactions as of writing.

Former PDEA agent Jonathan Morales strongly believed that the government could not control the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) if the said religious group ever faced the same situation as the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC)

Morales explained in a statement that INC, which has 5 to 6 million members worldwide, would be more difficult to pacify.

He added that aside from numbers, INC was also more influential among politicians.

“Kaya ‘yong ginagawa nila sa KOJC, hindi nila magagawa ‘yan sa Iglesia ni Cristo,” he said.

“Kasi ultimo ano, ‘yong mga politiko kasi naka-sa sa tulong ng Iglesia ni Cristo,” he added.

It can be recalled that some members said that the situation of KOJC could bring a ‘chilling effect’ on other religious groups who might oppose the government.

KOJC’s leader, Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, was known to criticize the current administration before the government decided to pursue him.

Netizens praised Jhong Hilario after they were informed that the Makati City councilor’s daughter, Sarina, was studying at a barangay daycare center.

In a Facebook post, Sarina showed how she interacted with children from different social classes despite her status.

Some netizens were impressed that Jhong could afford to enroll Sarina in an expensive private school, but he decided not to.

“I’m truly impressed by your humility and down to earth approach to parenting. While many celebrity parents might choose elite,private schools for the kids, you’ve taken a different path by enrolling your child in a regular day care,” one of Jhong’s fan said.

“This decision speaks volumes about your values and priorities as a parent, it’s also shows you value a normal , grounded upbringing for your child, and it’s truly inspiring and refreshing to see someone in your position making such a relatable choice,” she added.

Sarina’s mother, Maia Leviste Azores was happy to hear all the praises they received from the netizens.

“Thank you so much for the kind words. I really don’t think there is a perfect formula in raising any kid but the things you have mentioned are exactly the things we want to achieve for Sarina,” she said.

Sarina’s story went viral amid criticism received by artist Dianne Medina, who made a post about the P170,000 tuition for her child who was studying Nursery 2.

Social media personality Valentine Rosales gave friendly advice to his co-content creator, Chloe San Jose.

It can be recalled that Chloe went viral on social media after she responded to the allegations made by the Yulo family against her.

In his post, Valentine said that Chloe should learn to respect elders, especially her boyfriend’s parents, Carlos Yulo.

“Beh matuto ka gumalang sa mas nakaktanda sayo, di mo na dapat pinapatulan ‘yung ganyan. Kasi pag pinatulan mo para mas mababa ka pa kesa sa kanya. Dapat very Demure, Very Mindful, Very Sophisticated ka,” said Valentine.

“Di ka ba nasabihan ng parents mo? I am happy with you being together with Caloy pero learn to respect your elders,” he added.

According to Valentine, Chloe’s treatment of Carlos’ parents might mirror her real attitude toward her own relatives.

“Tandaan mo, pag hahanap ka ng partner titingnan mo kung paano niya ituring ang mga magulang niya kasi pag nagpakasal kayo at matagal na magsama ganun ka din ituturing ng partner mo,” he stated.

He then urged Chloe to just block Carlos’ relatives if she wanted to have peace of mind without being forced to respond to them.

An old conversation between two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo and his mother, Angelica Yulo, went viral on social media.

In the comment section of the post made by Mark Andrew Yulo in 2016, Carlos and Angelica had a sweet moment while cheering on each other.

Carlos, at that time, told his mother that he was still dependent on them and he couldn’t do anything without his parents.

“Nanghihingi pa nga ko sayo ng pera eh,” said Carlos.

“Di ko pa kaya ng walang tulong mo ma,” he added.

As a response, Mrs. Yulo tried to brighten up her son and urged her to believe in his capabilities.

“Kaya mo yan ikaw pa ba mana ka sa amin ng papa mo e,” said Mrs. Yulo.

“Anak kaya kita sa amin ka galing ng papa mo kaya alam kong kaya mo yan,” she added.
The said conversation happened many years before they started to feud.

It can be recalled that Carlos accused his mother of pocketing the cash incentives he received from different international competitions.

However, Yulo’s camp denied the allegations, saying that they used the money for Carlos’ own benefit.

Veteran actor Albert Martinez admitted that he is not pleased with women who flaunt their bodies on social media.

“What I don’t really like about social media is that I see more women posing in two-piece bikinis even when it’s not summer, even when they’re not at the beach.” “I have daughters, and I feel uncomfortable with it,” said Albert.

He added that he has two daughters and was uncomfortable with that idea.

It can be recalled that social media platforms allow their users to post photos while wearing bikinis as long as it isn’t excessively showy.

There were also studies that bikini photos gain more likes.

According to him, parents should teach their children how to use social media responsibly.

“Parents should teach their children that social media is not real life. Maybe social media can boost your career if you’re aiming to achieve a goal. Promote yourself based on what you want to be in your career,” she said.

The actor explained that people should only post things that highlight their work. For example, an architect could use his social media to promote his previous projects and gain new clients.

Albert also believes social media will only consume netizens if they only pursue attention.

Comedy queen Ai-Ai delas Alas supported Angelica Yulo, the mother of two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo.

In her Facebook post, Ai-Ai expressed her disappointment that it was already too late when she was informed about Mrs. Yulo’s last live selling session, where she offered clothes and beauty products to her followers.

Ai-Ai vowed to buy Mrs. Yulo’s products for her next live sale.

“Nakita ko sila may nag send sakin sa messenger. Kailan kaya ulit live selling nila? Bibili ako, support ako sa live selling nila,” said Ai-Ai.

The comedian then declared that she was part of ‘Team Nanay,’ a faction that supported the Yulo family amid the feud between Carlos and his mother.

It can be recalled that Ai-Ai already expressed her disappointment to Carlos’ girlfriend, Chloe San Jose.

Chloe was blamed for the fallout between Carlos and his family.

“Ate girl, dapat pag ‘di ka naman kasama sa interview, dito ka nalang sa side by side ng darling mo. Kasi siyempre Olympian ‘yan, siya yung iniinterview. Dapat ‘di ka na sumasali ng kahit kaunti ‘dun sa eksena,” said Ai-Ai.

As of writing, Mrs. Yulo has yet to give a response to Ai-Ai.
