Several netizens expressed concern after they watched an interview with megastar Sharon Cuneta.

On December 12, Sharon was granted an interview invitation from Luis Manzano and admitted that while she was grateful for almost all she had achieved in life, she was still having difficulties when it came to her love life.

According to her, she still had some struggles with her marriage with Kiko Pangilinan due to their contradictory priorities.

“Mayroong parehong matinong tao, parehong mabait, parehong disente, na hindi nakikita ng tao ‘yung nangyayari inside the bedroom or inside their house ‘pag sila na lang… So, dalawang matinong tao na hindi lang magkasundo kailangang maghiwalay. Kasi isa lang ang buhay, e,” she said.

Separation rumors between the two were fueled when Sharon posted about leaving someone else.

“I’m loyal. I’ll never leave you for someone else. I’ll only leave you for myself. For my peace, my sanity, my respect, my dignity,” she stated.

Some netizens speculated that there was a problem between the two that needed to be addressed.

“So hiwalay na sila ni Kiko? Mahirap din kasi ipilit ang isang bagay lalo sa marriage na magstay pa kau sa iisang bahay pero alam niyo/mo sa sarili mo na hindi na kayo okay,” a netizen said.

As of writing, Sharon has yet to give any response to the rumors.

Celebrity tarot card reader Jay Costura shared his prediction over the fate of Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla.

On November 30, 2023, Kathryn and Daniel announced their breakup after being in a relationship for 11 years.

However, Jay saw in his cards that there was still a chance for the two to reconcile.

“Si Daniel naman may mga pangako talaga siya no, ibibigay ang mundo. Madami syang (Daniel) mga pangako kay Kath… Kung mapapansin mo dito mayron ding pagmamakaawa o pagkulong. Isa sa mga reason kung bakit umabot sila sa ganitong relasyon is na fed up, mayrong paghihigpit, ito ay umabot sa parang nasakal ang isa sa kanila. Natural naman sa relasyon na mayroon pag seselos pero sa personality siguro ni Daniel ito ang tinatawag na pagkakaroon ng overprotections,” said Jay.

“Nakikita ko naman na may pagsuyo na magaganap sa relasyon nilang dalawa. Ang taas ng chances na maaayos ang kanilang relasyon. Isa sa dahilan talaga is nagkasawaan po. May mga bagay naman na hindi dapat pag away paulit ulit. It’s very clear na merong paghihigpit at pagkasakal. Isa sa kanila dumaan sa anxiety, stress. Isa sa kanila ay hindi nakakatulog ng maayos. Meron talagang pleading no. May involvement na nagkagusto sa iba. Unang nawala dito ay ang trust. Ang malinaw kasi dito pinakita attraction of other.

“May laging umiiyak sa kanila. May nasaktan nang todo, feeling natraydor. MAGKAKABALIKAN PO TALAGA ANG DALAWA. Ang naging issue ay yung maaring pagpapakasal or having a baby, so na pressure ang bawat isa, maaaring magkaayos ang relationship at sila po talaga ay magkakaroon ng magandang pamilya. Yes, nagkaroon ng selosang naganap, kung mapapansin mo may babaeng involve dito, so may lihim na nabunyag. Hindi naging isyu ang pera sa kanila, so dito malinaw na susuyuin at susuyuin siya ni Daniel no. Magkakabalikan po ang dalawa. Ang taas ng chances na magkakabalikan sila,” he stated.

It can be recalled that Costura also successfully predicted the Airplane mishap at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in 2018.

Atty. Maggie Abraham-Garduque insisted that the Eat Bulaga trademark was still registered under her client, Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc.

During a press conference on December 13, the lawyer clarified that TAPE could still use the Eat Bulaga title on their show as the decision of the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) has not yet been considered final.

It can be recalled that IPOPHL removed the trademark ownership of TAPE over Eat Bulaga branding following the complaint filed by Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon against their former production company.

She said that the IPO’s website would support their claims.

“If you check the website of the IPO, makikita niyo pa rin po doon na ‘yun pong status ng registration ng TAPE Incorparated sa ‘Eat Bulaga’ sa IPO ay still registered pa rin po siya. So, you can check it up today, ang registration status ng TAPE Incorporated for ‘Eat Bulaga’ ay still registered po sa kanila existing pa rin and valid,” said lawyer.

“As regards to the status of the application of Joey De Leon for trademark registration, up to this date po, makikita n’yo po sa website, and I can attest to that, ang nakalagay pa rin po ay pending. So pending pa rin po ‘yung kanyang application for registration.” she added.

Atty. Garduque also pointed out that the trademark had not yet been granted to De Leon.

“Ang posisyon po ng TAPE Incorporated as of now, we still have the registration of the trademark of ‘Eat Bulaga.’ As you can see from the website of the IPO, there’s still no award being given to Joey De Leon as regards to the registration or trademark registration of ‘Eat Bulaga,” she stated.

“Kaya po ang posiyon po ng TAPE Incorporated ay maarin pa rin po naming gamitin ang ‘Eat Bulaga’ sa aming show kasi nasa amin pa rin ang trademark registration.Until such time na may pinal na desisyon na hindi na namin ito puwedeng gamitin,” she also said.

Sarah Lahbati shared an unfortunate incident while driving her newly bought car on Thursday.

In her post, Sarah shared the photos of the incident showing the damaged vehicle involved.

Luckily, no one suffered a serious outcome, including her family.

“We were involved in an accident on Skyway. Fortunately, all three cars involved avoided any casualties, and we are all okay,” said Sarah.

“Today we were given a second chance. Just when you think everything you worry about should be the center of the world, you’re reminded of God’s lessons, promises, and the bigger picture. All you have to do is take a step back and let Him guide you,” she added.

She also shared that the incident happened during one of the toughest times of her life.

“I’m sharing this story because this year has been the toughest of my life, yet I am reminded of God’s goodness. His second chances and promises. Things could have been much worse, yet my family and I are alive and well,” she stated.

It can be recalled that Sarah was facing several controversies amid her separation rumors with Richard Gutierrez.

Richard’s mother, Annabelle Rama, also accused Sarah of being a lavish spender while doing her role as a housewife.

Daniel Padilla captured the netizens’ attention after editing his break-up letter to Kathryn Bernardo.

On December 14, 2023, a day after his performance with Kathryn during the ABS-CBN’s Christmas Special, Daniel removed the said break-up letter, which was considered his confirmation that the breakup decision between them was mutual.

“Ikaw at Ako,” Daniel wrote in his post.

The old caption of Daniel was about his admiration towards Kathryn despite ending their 11-year relationship.

“Ang mga alaala natin ay laging kong baon sa aking puso at magiging liwanag sa mga madidilim kong araw. Thank you for dancing with me during my hights and thank you for singing with me during my lows,” Daniel said.

Daniel also thanked the Kathniel fans for supporting them for more than a decade.

“Maraming salamat sa pagmamahal ninyo. Marmaing salamat sa napaka gandang pinag samahan natin. Hinding hindi namin ipagpapalit at hindi makukumpara kahit anong pang gawin nila. Hinding hindi nila pwedeng sirain yun. This is beyond show business. Pamilya kayo at mga kaibigan,” he stated.

He also vowed to love Kathryn forever.

“Ang pagmamahal ko sayo ay walang hanggang at walang katapusan,” he wrote.

The latest move of Daniel fueled the speculations that the actor was trying to patch up his relationship with Kathryn.

It can be recalled that Daniel was being linked to Andrea Brillantes before the break-up announcement happened.

Veteran columnist Cristy Fermin mulled charges against Liza Soberano’s father, John Soberano after he posted negative messages against the former.

In the said post, John directly criticized Cristy and called her out for allegedly interfering with other people’s lives.

He also criticized Liza’s former manager, Ogie Diaz.

“Cristy Fermin p* ina mo at p* ina niyong lahat ng nakikialam sa may buhay ng buhay,” he said.

In his online program, Cristy revealed that she already asked her lawyer, Atty. Ferdinand Topacio demanded John to delete his posts.

“Kahapon ay personal na kaming nagkita ng aking abogado, si Atty. Ferdie Topacio at personal nang inihain sa kanya ang demmand letter na kailangan niyang bawiin ang kanyang mga ipinost sa loob ng limang araw na ibinibigay sa kanya. Kapag hindi niya yun binawi at kami ay ginamot kung saan niya kami sinaktan, tuloy ang cyber-libel. Kailangang binibigyan ng leksyon ang mga taong nakalilimot sa kagandahang asal,” Cristy said.

“Kung ang kwestyon niya at ikinagagalit sa akin ay ang pagtawag ko ng walang utang na loob kay Liza Soberano, ako ay umaayon lamang sa ginawa ng kanyang anak. Paano ko tatawagin na marunong tumanaw ng utang na loob ang isang personalidad na pagkatapos tulungan at ipaglabaan ipakipagpatayan ni Ogie Diaz ay bigla na lang tumalikod ay mayroon pang mga sinasabing hindi kagandahan,” she added.

As of writing, John still kept mum after his posts and never repeated the same thing again.

KathNiel fans couldn’t help but talk about the meeting between Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla during the ABS-CBN’s Christmas Special last December 14, 2023.

Amid the talks about the biggest breakup of the year, Kathryn and Daniel still performed together and even showed sweetness after their performance.

A video published by a KathNiel fan showed Kathryn placing his arms to Daniel, a sign that the two were still comfortable with each other even after they parted ways.

Netizens joked that a new love team was formed called ‘DanRyn’ as a replacement to KathNiel.

“Haaay my danryn heart  hahahahaha but no seriously, masaya sa pusong makita na okay na okay sila, at alam mong maayos silang naghiwalay. Hindi katulad ng mga iniimpose ng biglang fans ni kathryn ksksks doon kayo sa far away!” she said.

After they saw the video, some fans got a glimpse of hope that there was still a chance for the two to reconcile.

It can be recalled that Kathryn and Daniel confirmed their breakup but refused to disclose the reason.

Even some friends of the two believed that there was still a chance for them to fix their differences, saying that a 11 years of relationship is hard to break.

Talent manager Annabelle Rama couldn’t hide her happiness after she realized that veteran columnist Cristy Fermin defended her.

In her Facebook post, Annabelle narrated her initial reaction when she heard that Cristy was defending her and Richard Gutierrez from critics.

At first, she was unconvinced that the veteran columnist was really defending her due to their bitter past.

“Pag gising ko kaninang umaga maraming text ako natanggap at mga missed calls from my friends na tunay na nakaka kilala at nag mamahal sa akin. At sabi nila ay may maganda daw silang nabasa sa facebook na sinulat ng number one kong kalaban at pinagtatanggol ako this time. Di ako naniwala at baka kako fake news na naman at ginamit lang ang pangalan niya,” she said.

“Nang kumakain na kami, sinabi ng anak ko, na maganda raw ang sinulat ng nasabing reporter at ipinagtanggol ako, kako baka fake, kaya pina check ko sa PR ng Gutierrez family at na confirmed nga niya na legit iyon account at siya nga mismo ang sumulat,” she added.

According to Annabelle, she even criticized Cristy last year after the latter talked negatively about Jinky Pacquiao, who was a close friend of the Gutierrez family.

“This time lumambot ang puso ko sa kanya, dahil nanay rin siya at may mga anak rin at alam nya na tama ang ginagawa ko sa pag kampi ko sa anak ko, kaya nya ako naintindihan,” she stated.

“I am sorry kung ano mang di magandang mga text na nasabi ko sa iyo. At tinawagan ko sya at nag kausap kami at nag pasalamat ako. At sabi pa nga nya regards kay tito Eddie. Tamang tama na magkatabi kami ni Eddie sa upuan, at ipinasa ko kay Eddie ang telepono at nag usap sila. Nang mag ba-bye sya kay Eddie, sabi nya Tito Eddie, mag pa galing ka, inagaw ko ang telepono at sabi ko , malakas na malakas ang asawa ko,” she added.

It can be recalled that Annabelle and Cristy faced each other at the Supreme Court after the talent manager filed charges against the latter.

The case was related to the article written by Fermin in 1995, which claimed that the Gutierrez couple pocketed the proceeds from the sale of a company.

The court ordered Fermin to pay P1-M and P6,000 fines to the coupe.

Raymond Gutierrez went viral on social media after he uploaded several photos together with his boyfriend, Robert William.

However, several netizens mistook Raymond for his twin brother Richard, who was facing controversy over his separation rumors with Sarah Lahbati.

Some netizens even criticized Raymond as they thought Richard was now having a relationship with a man.

“Hindi mo man lang naisip si Sarah tsaka mga anak mo,” netizen Rhoi said.

The said post received more than 200,000 reactions as of writing.

It can be recalled that Raymond identified himself as a member of the LGBT community and became a partner of Robert in 2022.

“In January, I did meet someone and we’re taking it a little bit more seriously. And yeah, we are in a relationship,” said Raymond.

“There’s nothing to hide. What is there to hide? If the pandemic taught us one thing, it’s to live your life now,” he added.

In another interview, Raymond also shared how proud he was as a member of LGBT.

“I’m here to formally say that I am a proud member of the LGBTQ community. And it feels great saying that publicly because I am,” he said.

“I am out to a lot of my close friends and I’m lucky that I have that support system around me to give me the confidence to really accept who I am and to love myself because not a lot of people have that,” he added.
