Actor Mon Confiado had formally filed a complaint against a content creator who used him as a subject of a copypasta/meme.

In his Facebook post, Mon addressed the content creator identified as ‘Jeff Jacinto’ a.k.a ILEIAD, saying that the latter shouldn’t use other people in his harmful post.

He also showed a photo of him while at the NBI office.

“Nawa’y maging aral sa iyo ito at sa ating lahat. Na ang paggamit ng pangalan at larawan ng walang pahintulot ay krimen. Na hindi lahat ng jokes ay nakakatawa at hindi lahat ng jokes ay para sa lahat. Dapat sana ang joke ay nakakapagpasaya at hindi nakakasira ng tao,” said Mon.

The actor also said he was a private person and had never been involved in any issue throughout his career in show business.

Mon also argued that not everyone would identify Jacinto’s post as a joke.

“Ang problema… kahit ito ay isang joke o “meme” lamang, hindi pamilyar ang lahat ng tao dito at ito ay ipinost mo sa “Facebook”. At alam mo naman ang mga tao ay napakadaling maniwala sa mga ganyang posts. Siyempre ang ilan dyan ay maniniwala at ire-repost agad dahil katulad mo ay gusto lang din makakuha ng mga likes kahit may masagasaan. Ako ay may mga ginagawang pelikula, may mga endorsements at may on-going na transaction para maging “brand ambassador” ng isang produkto. Paano kung dahil sa maling pagkakaintindi sa joke mo ay maapektuhan ang aking mga trabaho? Dapat ba ay tumahimik lang ako? Dapat ba ako pa ang mag adjust at pabayaan ko na lang at huwag na ako mag react?” he said.

Instead of admitting his mistakes, Jacinto was allegedly unapologetic about what he posted, according to Mon.

“Mr. Jeff Jacinto, uulitin ko, ako ay nananahimik at ginulo mo. Pero nung nag comment ako sa post mo at sa messenger mo, sinabihan mo pa ako ng “is this a threat”? Hindi mo pa din ito tinanggal hanggang kinabukasan ng gabi. Oo. Nagpublic apology ka kunwari later on pero sarcastic at hindi sincere. At wala ni katiting na pagsisisi at proud ka pa sa ginawa mo. At ginagawa niyo pa akong katatawanan ng mga followers mo. At ngayon ikaw na ang biktima at ako na ang masama,” Mon stated.

The so-called ‘Nation’s Girl Group’ BINI was set to hold their biggest concert at the Araneta Coliseum on November 16 & 17, 2024.

ABS-CBN announced the two-day concert on social media, but not everyone was impressed by the price of tickets set by the organizers.

According to the promotional materials provided by ABS-CBN, the ticket of ‘Grand BINIverse’ would cost P1,387 to P11,195.

People who bought VIP and Patron also had the chance to access the sound check for additional price of P1,387.

However, some netizens questioned the pricing of the tickets, saying that it was more expensive compared to K-Pop groups.

Here are some comments from the netizens:

“You what I hate? Halos malapit na ‘yung presyo ng blackpink pero wala namang involved na super malaking gastos sa logistics dito kasi sa QC lang yung ABS-CBN at ‘yung con. anuna teh?” 

“Funny kasi nasa around 8k lang usually ‘yung mga concert ng kpop idols sa korea… I don’t wanna compare pero ano ba kasi basis nila sa pricing dito,”

“For a ppop group na supposedly pang masa and considering most of your fans are students? These prices are a joke feeling kpop company kayo jan? Ayusin niyo muna production and mga low quality merch niyo. Grabe kayo manggatas sa fans, you never considered them lol,” 

ABS-CBN has yet to respond to the complaints made by BINI fans.

Social media personality and former dancer of Wowowee, RR Enriquez, received praise from the netizens after she gave her opinion on the feud between two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo and his mother, Angelica Yulo.

In her social media post, RR said she also experienced the same struggles as Carlos, as they were breadwinners.

According to her, one of the common issues involving breadwinner was having disagreements with their parents about money.

“May mga moment na gusto mo talikuran na lang sila dahil feeling mo puro pera lang ang habol sayo.” ani RR. “Pero kapag nahimasmasan ka, mas mananaig pa din yung alam mo na kaya ka nagsikap sa buhay ay para mabigyan sila ng maayos na buhay at maiparanas sa kanila yung sarap ng buhay na nararanasan mo din,” said RR.

“I hope kapag humupa na ang tampo sa isat isa at sila ay magkapatawaran. Sa daming perang nareceive ni Caloy ngayon, maiparanas nya pa din ulit yung katas ng pagiging gold medalist nya. Bilhan nya ng bahay, itravel nya out of the country. Ipag shopping nya ang pamilya nya. Kasi napakasarap talaga sa pakiramdam ng makapag share ng blessings sa pamilya mo,” she added.

She also gave her opinion about the feud between Carlos’ girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, and Mrs. Yulo.

“Para naman dun sa rival ng Mom and gf. Yes it’s so easy to judge someone based on their appearance or sa mga sinusoot nila. I salute this guy for setting boundaries sa relationship nya and sa parents nya. Minsan talaga hindi maiwasan ang Momster in law. If they don’t like each other it’s ok. But hindi naman porket ayaw sayo ng magulang ng jowa mo ay hindi ka na mag i effort to win her heart. Mas gusto ko pa din na ang partner ko ay ang magulang ko kahit hindi nila gusto ang isat isa,” she added.

It can be recalled that Chloe was being blamed by Carlos’ family as the one who started all the problems.

Australian influencer Chloe San Jose answered a netizen who accused her of stealing the spotlight from her boyfriend, Carlos Yulo, during a press conference held for the two-time Olympic gold medalist.

In his post, the netizen said that Chloe was trying to seek attention by always being with Carlos, even in an event with whom she doesn’t have any business.

“It seems the tides are slowly starting to work against you. Carlos will always be loved by all Filipinos. No one can ever take that away from him. Not even you. But your endearment to a number of people because of being there for Carlos is starting to rub off already.” the netizen said.

Why? Because you really love attention and clout. It sometimes reeks of desperation for affirmation,” he added.

However, Chloe insisted she would have been accepted all the the interview request made by the press if she really wanted to take all the attention.

“People would really just say anything to prove a point even if they don’t know anything about the situation and only know what we’ve put out on socmed. No one even really cared about our relationship prior to Caloy’s winning moment, so why care now? Oh kasi may issue and everyone wants to make sawsaw?” she wrote.

“If you want to see Caloy and Caloy only, why are you on my page? Go ahead to Caloy’s page to feel better. All love,” she added.

Entrepreneur and social media personality Xian Gaza questioned why two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo’s girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, was present during the press conference for the athlete.

In his social media post, Xian said that he already understood why Carlos’ mother, Angelica Yulo, didn’t like Chloe at all.

“Medyo gets ko na ngayon si Nanay Angelica. Kaya pala ayaw niya. Daig pa si Jinkee Pacquiao eh,” he said.

He even asked if Chloe has an official role or part of Carlos’ athletics team to be allowed to sit beside the greatest Filipino Olympian of all time.

“Coach ba yan?” he said.

Xian also asked why Chloe was wearing shorts during the press conference.

“Tama ba yung shorts na nakikita ko for the official press conference?” he asked.

It can be recalled that many people questioned why Chloe was always present beside Carlos.

Some of them believed that Carlos should have invited his father or his other relatives to be with him in France instead of other people like Chloe.

Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo admitted his celebrity crush.

In a past interview, Carlos, who was already in a two-year relationship with his girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, at that time, admitted that he had a crush on Kapamilya actress Andrea Brillantes.

“Si Blythe po,” said Carlos.

When asked if he was willing to enter the show business, Caloy admitted that it would be hard for him to balance his life as an athlete and to become an artist.

“Malabo po yun. Mahirap po sigurong i-balance yung practice at yung paglabas sa TV or sa pelikula po,” he stated.

The said interview went viral again after the fame gained Carlos by winning two gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Now that he’s already a two-time Olympic gold medalist and may retire anytime, netizens were waiting if he would reconsider the offer to become an artist, which could allow him to work with Andrea.

As of this writing, Andrea has yet to respond to Caloy.

Carlos Yulo’s father couldn’t hide his disappointment after his son publicly discussed their problems on social media.

After the press conference held by his wife, Angelica Yulo, Mark Andrew Yulo said he was saddened by the worsening rift between his family members.

According to Mr. Yulo, the problem between his family was caused by Carlos’ girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, and not because of money.

He also insisted that they didn’t pocket any amount from Carlos’ account, which contradicted the claim of the athlete who said that his mother ‘zeroed’ his account.

“PHP6 million pa lang yung pera niya, then naging PHP11 million. Hindi naubos yun. Bakit namin nanakawin yan?” said Mr. Yulo. “Kung nasa amin yung pera, sana umalis na kami sa looban. Sana may mga account na kami, may kotse na kami. Wala nga kami, nagko-commute lang kami,”

He also argued that they didn’t seek money as they’re already used to have a poor lifestyle.

Mr. Yulo also shared his realization, saying that money also caused all the troubles happening now.

“Kahit wala naman kami, sanay naman kami walang pera, e. Sanay kami sa problema, sanay kami sa mga ano… kahit ano lang ang kinakain namin. Sanay kami sa asin,” he stated.

“Gusto ko sana yung masaya lang kami. Gusto ko nga sana mabalik yung dati, kasi… kaya lang ngayon? Magulo pala pag ganito, pag marami kang pera. Gusto ko yung bago siya sumikat nung 2019. Gusto ko yung masaya lang kami. Masaya kami, kumakain kami sa labas,” he added.

Mr. Yulo also said that he only wanted Carlos to bond his family before all of them decided to build their own.

Amid the issue between Carlos Yulo and his mother, Angelica Yulo, the story of the first Filipino Olympic gold medalist, Hidilyn Diaz, went viral on social media.

The story was about how Hidilyn inspired her parents as her inspiration to push harder during competitions, which eventually gave her the first Olympic medal for the country.

In an interview, Hidilyn narrated that she became motivated to give back to her parents after she witnessed how hard it was for her mother to provide money for her children.

Hidilyn said that she was allocating half of her earnings to her parents and siblings to help her family.

“When I was younger and would ask for money from my mom, and she didn’t have it, I told myself that next time, part of the prize that I would get would be for her and my siblings,” she said.

The athlete was also known for her wise financial decisions, which enabled her to retire early and spend more time with her family without worrying about her income.

Hidilyn reportedly owned several properties and businesses, which gave her passive income.

It can be recalled that Hidilyn received more than P35-M after she won a gold medal for the sports weightlifting.

The Senate Committee on Public Information and Mass Media subpoenaed the two independent contractors of GMA Network after they were tagged on what happened to Sparkle artist Sandro Muhlach.

It can be recalled that Sandro was allegedly forced by GMA head writers Richard Cruz and Jojo Nones after the newbie artist entered their room after the Network’s Gala.

Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada said he had no choice but to issue a subpoena as Nones and Cruz refused to attend the hearing.

“I just read the letter coming from Mr. Richard Cruz and Mr. Jojo Nones and I believe that the letter, the statements stated here are unacceptable,” said Estrada.

“I just would like to give a piece of advice to these 2 gentlemen, alam niyo pagka inimbita kayo sa Senado huwag niyo i-preempt ‘yung aming mga tanong. I think this letter is totally unacceptable and I move that we subpoena them ad testificandum on the next hearing,” he added.

It can be recalled that Sandro’s father, Nino Muhlach, couldn’t stop himself from becoming emotional while describing the aftermath of the incident to his son.

Estrada also wanted to invite Sandro, but he was advised by the latter’s lawyer not to force it as the actor was still having mental health problems.
