Mayor-elect Kerwin Espinosa, nangako na tatapusin ang problema sa ipinagbabawal na gamot

Mayor-elect Kerwin Espinosa vowed to promote peace and order and fight against illegal drugs after he was elected as the new leader of Albuera, Leyte.

According to him, he would craft solutions to curb Albuera’s existing problems.

“Ang uunahin ko, peace and order at bigyan ng solusyon ang droga dito sa Albuera. Linisin namin ang droga dito sa aming lungsod. I-zero tolerance namin ang droga,”

“Gusto ko lang sugpuin at para mapatunayan na hindi talaga ako naging drug lord. Naging biktima lang ako sa mga…alam na natin,” he added.

Espinosa won several weeks after an attempt on his life, which he blamed on Rep. Richard Gomez.

He was facing a disqualification case filed by Ormoc City Mayor Lucy Torres-Gomez.

Espinosa gained 14,919 votes against his opponent, Vince Rama, who only got 9,744 votes.

His tandem, RR Espinosa, also won the vice-mayoral race.

It can be recalled that Espinosa admitted that he was involved in the illegal drug trade.

“Oo, nagbibigay ako ng SOP na weekly pero iba pa ‘yung sa negosyo sa pulis na palitan kami ng shabu kung nauubusan kami,” said Espinosa in 2018.

“’Pag naubos na ‘yung supply nila, binibigyan ko, sa panahon kung meron ako binibigyan ko sila. ‘Pag ako naubusan, sa kanila ako kumukuha,” he added.

Kris Aquino, itinanggi na biktima siya ng kulam

Kris Aquino appealed to the netizens to stop insisting that she was a victim of witchcraft, after several faith healers offered their services to her.

It can be recalled that Kris was suffering from a very rare autoimmune disease, which was very hard to treat.

Aside from some faith healers, it can be recalled that Aiko Melendez also suspected that Kris was a victim of witchcraft.

“Bukas na lang after my PET scan I will tell you the TRUTH because I am so tired of seeing I am dead, na itong healer ang may solusyon, na may kumulam sa ‘kin—please STOP,” said Kris.

According to Kris, her faith as a Catholic didn’t change despite her condition.

“My faith in God’s mercy, in the salvation from Jesus Christ becoming man, and in Mama Mary’s mantle of protection—it remains strong. Let’s all continue to pray for everyone experiencing pain daily,” she stated.

 

Ilang grupo, nanawagan ng manual counting dahil sa kwestyonableng bersyon ng ACM

Two groups have urged the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) to do manual counting after Atty. Harold Respicio revealed that the version used for the Automated Counting Machines (ACMs) was not audited.

It can be recalled that Atty. Harry Respicio revealed that the current ACMs used during the final testing were using version 3.5, which allegedly was not included in the audited version by the Technical Evaluation Committee (TEC).

However, COMELEC called Respincio’s accusations ‘fake news’, saying that version 3.4, which was audited, and 3.5 were the same version.

“Ang sinasabing version 3.4 sa Local Source Code Review Report ay siya mismong version na sumailalim sa independent third-party audit at matapos nitong makapasa ay tinagurian na ito bilang version 3.5 na kasalukuyang ginagamit ng mga ACM base sa ipinakita ng kandidato sa bidyo,” said COMELEC.

However, the election watchdog, Kontra Daya, didn’t buy the explanation published by COMELEC, saying that version 3.4 cannot be considered equal to version 3.5.

“The version used in the Final Testing and Sealing of machines is version 3.5.0, while only version 3.4.0 is certified. What kind of revisions were made to the final version? Why were such revisions implemented without a proper announcement to the public?” said Kontra Daya.

Meanwhile, the Computer Professionals Union (CPU) believed that there was a possibility that something was inserted into the source code of the newer version of ACMs.

They urged the COMELEC to conduct manual vote counting because of the recent revelation published by the Atty. Respicio.

Babaeng motovlogger, nanawagan sa publiko na tigilan na ang negatibong komento sa kanya

A Mindanao-based content creator reminded the netizens that she was not the motovlogger who was involved in a traffic argument in Zambales last week.

In her Facebook post, Norme Garcia attempted to clear the confusion on social media, as many people thought she was Yanna Aguinaldo.

It can be recalled that Yanna went viral last week and is facing multiple charges after she posted a video showing a heated argument between her and a driver.

Coincidentally, Norme’s Facebook page, which has 6.8 million followers, was unpublished at the peak of the issue.

“Mga pangga, hindi nga po ako si ‘You Tell Me’ at hindi Yanna ang pangalan ko, may nunal po ako. Si Norme Garcia po ako,” she said.

Netizens believed Norme’s page was unpublished, as many social media users reported her as they thought she was Yanna.

However, Yanna clarified that she was already receiving warnings from different groups who told her they would unpublish her account if she did not provide a certain amount of money.

According to Facebook, Norme’s page was removed for multiple reports of intellectual property infringement.

Vivamax star na huling nakita kasama ang kanyang partner, ilang araw nang nawawala

A talent of Vivamax was declared missing after she didn’t appear on the last production day of her movie.

According to the reports, VMX star Karen Lopez has been missing since May 5, 2025, after her partner allegedly fetched her from her residence.

In an interview, Maalikaya Director Roman Perez Jr. shared that they patiently waited for Karen’s arrival on the last day of production on May 7, but had already made revisions in case the actress would not appear.

Perez and other people close to Karen decided to have a welfare check for Karen and visited her condominium unit in Quezon City, but no one was there.

“Umakyat kami sa unit niya, mga thirty minutes kaming kumatok pero walang tao. Nakita sa CCTV na sinundo siya ng boyfriend niya. Sinabi rin ng security guard ng condo na may sumundo sa kanya,” he said.

“Sana makita na siya ng pamilya niya at, sana, magparamdam siya. Kawawa naman ang mga magulang niya,” he added.

Perez shared that he was aware of the disagreement between Karen and her partner about her decision to become a VMX talent.

“Ayaw ng boyfriend ni Karen na mag-VMX siya. Baka pinagbawalan siya. Sana maayos ang problema,” the director said.

They already reported the incident to the authorities.

 

Babaeng motovlogger na may 6.8-M followers, nabura ang page

A Davao-based female motovlogger announced that she lost her Facebook page with 6.8 million followers.

In a video she published, Norme Garcia showed a notification that her page was removed after she received “multiple reports” that she infringed on “third parties’ intellectual property rights.’

She could also see herself crying after losing all her hard work.

According to her, she has already been receiving copyright claims in the last two months.

She believed that there was a group behind the unpublishing of her page.

“Pinaghirapan talaga nilang gawin ‘yon para mawala ‘yung account ko,” she said.

“Kung hindi daw kami magbabayad sa kanila ng dollars, sisirain talaga nila ‘yung account ko, so eto na talaga ‘yung nangyari ngayon na nawala ‘yung account ko,” she added.

She was in the process of appealing Meta’s decision.

Aside from her main page, Norme also said that her other pages were also unpublished.

“Pinaghirapan talaga namin na ma-gain ‘yung ganoong karaming followers,” she stated.

Several content creators also reported that several groups from other Asian countries falsely reported their accounts.

Some were receiving “impersonation” reports, while others were being reported for copyright infringement.

As of writing, Meta has yet to respond to the issue.

The incident happened only several days after another female motovlogger faced criticism after encountering a motorist.

PBBM, sasampahan ng impeachment complaint

President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. received his first impeachment complaint from the Duterte Youth Party.

According to the complaint, Marcos tarnished the sovereignty of the Philippines after he allegedly allowed the surrender of former President Rodrigo Duterte before the International Criminal Court (ICC).

“Instead of honoring his years of service and recognizing his contributions to the nation, the Marcos administration allowed his arrest and swift surrender to foreigners in less than 14 hours, disregarding his fundamental rights and the legal safeguards enshrined in the Philippine Constitution and other domestic laws,” they said.

“This betrayal highlights the gross failure of the Philippine government. A former head of state was handed over with undue haste, without exhausting the legal protections available to every Filipino citizen,” they added.

The Palace has yet to comment on the move made by the party list.

It can be recalled that President Marcos was not included in the list of people named behind Duterte’s arrest based on the investigation of the chief executive’s sister, Sen. Imee Marcos.

 

Motovlogger na si Yanna, humaharap umano ngayon sa problema sa mental health

Controversial vlogger Yanna Aguinaldo was reportedly facing anxiety and other mental health problems after she received criticism for her encounter with a motorist.

Yanna, also known as Yanna Motovlog, uploaded a photo of her argument with driver Jimmy Pascua during her trip to Zambales several days ago, prompting netizens to criticize her.

The driver and the Land Transportation Office (LTO) also filed several charges against Yanna.

According to an individual who claimed to be close to Yanna, there was a reason why the motovlogger didn’t appear before the first hearing of LTO, citing her mental health issues.

“Hello, ako yung bestfriend ni Yanna. Unfortunately, inaatake siya ng anxiety at depression. Iyak nang iyak. Baka pwedeng iparating niyo ’to kay Sir Jimmy, maawa naman siya kay Yanna. Baka pwedeng ’wag na siya kasuhan,” the woman said.

“Napakabait na tao ni Yanna. Please guys, need namin ng tulong niyo. Sobrang nanghihina na ’yung tao sa mga nangyayari. Stop bashing na din please. Hindi niya deserve ’yung hate niyo,” she added.

It can be recalled that Yanna had already written a public apology to the driver, but the latter said that he was determined to pursue the case against the motovlogger.

He also called Yanna’s apology as insincere, since she didn’t personally deliver it to him.

Babaeng motovlogger, natatakot sa kanyang kaligtasan kaya hindi sumipot sa LTO hearing

The lawyer of motovlogger Yanna Aguinaldo said that her client decided not to attend a hearing at the Land Transportation Office (LTO) in Quezon City as she was afraid for her safety.

On May 6, 2025, Yanna, who had been involved in a traffic argument with motorist Jimmy Pascua in Zambales several days earlier, was a no-show during the hearing, and only her lawyer, Atty. Ace Jurado was present.

According to Jurado, Aguinaldo’s address was exposed on social media, and his client also received threats from the netizens after the incident.

However, Atty. Jurado personally read Aguinaldo’s public apology letter to Pascua, but the motorist didn’t find the message sincere.

LTO has already suspended the motovlogger’s license for 90 days and may revoke it if she is proven to have violated traffic laws.

The controversy started when Aguinaldo posted a video of her argument with Pascua without hiding the latter’s face.

Pascua said that they asked Aguinaldo to delete the video, but she refused to do so.

Posts circulating on social media alleged that Aguinaldo didn’t delete the video because she was earning a lot from it.

Pascua said that he was determined to pursue charges against the vlogger because he and his family was deeply affected by the incident.

Sharon Cuneta, emosyonal dahil sa paninira sa kanyang asawang si Kiko Pangilinan

Megastar Sharon Cuneta couldn’t hide her emotions as she spoke about the alleged propaganda against her husband, senatorial candidate Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan.

During a press conference on May 5, Sharon said she couldn’t understand why people were using disinformation campaigns to ruin her husband’s reputation.

“I never liked politics. Kasi nga, in the Philippines, pagkaganda-ganda man ng intensyon mo, pagkaayos-ayos man ng puso mo, natatalo ka ng fake news saka budget na bilyon-bilyon ng ibang kandidato — na wala naman kami,” she said.

“Lahat ng meron kami, pinaghirapan naming dalawa,” she added.

She also asked the public why they didn’t want to vote for Pangilinan despite their efforts to correct disinformation against him.

It can be recalled that Pangilinan was lagging in many senatorial election surveys.

“Bakit po ba ayaw n’yong iboto si Kiko? Ano po ‘yung mga doubts ninyo? Kasi lahat ng kasinungalingang nilalabas against him, may resibo kaming katapat. Mayroon kaming magpapasawalang-katotohanan du’n sa mga binibintang nila, sa mga paninira nila.” she said.

Several weeks ago, Pangilinan complained about the disinformation circulated against him during his collaboration with a popular vlogger, where he was seen eating on a pot cover.

In his statement, he insisted that a well-paid and organized disinformation campaign was launched against him.
