Content creator Rendon Labador revealed the reason why he started to be ‘motivated’ in life, as most people knew him.

In an interview with Anthony “Ka Tunying” Taberna, Rendon said that he started pursuing success when own his father, retired PNP General Lito Labador, told him that he was a worthless individual.

Rendon said that his father believed that he only had friends because his parent was influential.

“Ang sabi sa akin ni Erpat, ‘kaya ka lang kinakaibigan ng mga kaibigan mo ngayon dahil general ako. Ikaw wala kang kwenta. Who you ka! Kapag ako nag-retire or nawala na ako, wala nang papansin sa’yo. Pinapansin ka lang ng tao dahil may makukuha sila sa’yo.’” he said.

“So, nu’ng sinabi sa akin ng Erpats ko yun napaisip ako. Bata pa lang ako nagising ako sa katotohanan. Doon ako nagsimulang mangarap,” he added.

In another post, Rendon said that instead of being discouraged by his father’s statement, he used it as a motivation to become successful on his own.

Rendon didn’t follow to the footsteps of his father, instead he decided to build a business empire and also decided to become a motivational speaker.

Actress Andrea Brillantes captured the attention of her fans after she made a statement about ‘snakes’ after she posed with a slither during the Opulence Ball.

Her companion quickly became one of the highlights of the show, and some members of the press asked Andrea if she didn’t feel any fear while handling such an animal.

According to Andrea, she was already used to interacting with ‘snakes,’ joking that she knew people like her ball partner.

“Ba’t ako matatakot? May mga kilala nga akong ganito! Char!” she said.

Several netizens reacted to the said statement of Andrea, and some even believed that she was taking a swipe again at her ex-boyfriend Ricci Rivero and his family.

“May sasalo nman jan kahit walang pangalan. bato bato sa langit, ang sumalo at matamaan my bukol,” netizen Bruce said.

However, some social media users were already fed up with the issue.

“Yung mga reporter kasi Panay interview sa dalawa tas pag Yung Isa honest tas Yung Isa Panay sagot at parinig. Ganyan talaga mangyayari. Panay tanong tas pag Ang Isa sarap na sarap mag parinig.. syempre papalag nanaman Yung kabilang kampo Kasi ka nadawit nanaman sya sa comment section.

Masyado Ma Epal,” netizen Francesca commented.

KC Concepcion revealed that she already lost hope that her parents would reunite again after their separation in 1993.

On her vlog she uploaded after the ‘Dear Heart’ reunion concert of her parents, Gabby Concepcion and Sharon Cuneta, KC said that seeing her father and mother on the same stage was one of her childhood dreams.

KC even revealed that during her younger years, she often asked Santa Claus to reunite her parents.

“I remember I would ask Santa Claus to hopefully bring them back together because I so wanted to have a complete family, and I knew that they loved each other and that the Philippines is so small that they could just run into each other and they’re both actors,” said KC.

However, her wish for Santa didn’t happen as both her parents formed their own families.

The actress also never saw her parents being friends and seeing each other, that’s why she was also surprised after being informed about the reunion concert.

“Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would still be able to experience sharing moments with the two of them together—laughing, smiling, talking. I don’t really remember them being friends when I was growing up, so I never really thought that it would be possible to see them in one place, just OK and on good terms,” she said.

“When I was reading the script, parang mangiyak-ngiyak talaga ako kasi ang dami kong hindi alam about their love team and professional life. Para akong kinakabahan dahil hindi lang siya show for me, it’s my life,” she added.

KC was happy that even at once, she saw that her family was complete.

Netizens couldn’t stop discussing the revealing costume of Rhian Ramos at the Shake, Rattle, and Ball Halloween Party.

On October 31, 2023, Rhian joined other celebrities in celebrating Halloween at the National Museum of Anthropology, cosplaying the Filipino comic character ‘Alexandra Trese.’

“Minsan walang pagkakaiba ang mga halimaw sa tao.—Alexandra Trese,” she wrote.

The costume received mixed reactions from the netizens, as some said that Rhian was too revealing in her cosplay.

“May papisngi si madam,” netizen Mecar said.

“Di ka ba naman mapa wow nyan nka labas ang isang hiwang karne,” netizen Tintin commented.

“Hallowen costume ba yan kita nmn sobra ang kaluluwa ayan oh konti nlng ganyan na ba ngaun,” netizen Nancy remarked.

It can be recalled that Rhian also went viral on social media several times because of her revealing outfit.

Even Dra. Vicky Belo couldn’t stop reacting to the confidence being shown by Rhian.

“Wala bang mas maliit?” Dra. Belo told Rhian.

Content creator Jinky Cubillen-Anderson, also known as ‘Madam Kilay,’ publicly called out her sister, Joy Cubillen, for allegedly withdrawing the money she entrusted to her.

In a series of social media posts, Jinky asked her sister to return her money amounting to P2.5-M.

According to her, she tried to reach out to her sister, whom she considered her right-hand many times, but she kept being ignored, so she decided to inform the public about the issue.

“Baka gusto mo ilabas ang pera ko Joy Cubillen, kasi may mga pinapasahod akong tao! Gusto mo pa ata luluhod ako sayo! Di ka madala sa maayos na usap naka block pa ko pwes ipapabasa naten to sa mga chismosa para makarating sayo!” she said.

“KAPATID KONG MUKHANG PERA JOY CUBILLEN INSTANT MILLIONARIO KA!! LORD PLEASE TULUNGAN MO PO AKO!!” she added.

Jinky also made a live stream to narrate her problems to her followers, saying that putting her bank account under her sister’s name was a huge mistake.

She said she worked so hard to earn that kind amount of money, which her sister eventually took without any effort.

The content creator said her sister was the one who represented her in the Philippines as she was currently living abroad.

Jinky never thought that her sister would betray her.

“Pinagkatiwalaan ko ‘yung ate ko, ipinangalan ko sa kanya lahat [ng ari-arian at bank account ko] ang laking pagkakamali ko talaga,” she said.

“Bakit ko ipinagkatiwala? Kasi kapatid ko eh, akala mo mapagkakatiwalaan mo kasi nga kapatid mo. Sa lahat ng pera ko sa kanya nakapangalan, then lumago ‘yung business ko ngayon syempre ang tao nasisira sa pera, inuunti unti pala ako ng ate ko hindi ko alam,” she added.

Netizens wrote their reactions to Andrea’s caption.

“Yong chill lang si Andrea tapos Yong ex buong angkan nakikialam na sa issue,” netizen Aya said.

“Buti pa to chill chill lang… Samantalang ung lalaki panay dada,” netizen Shean remarked.

“Alam kasi ng magulang ni Andrea na yakang yaka ng anak nila sa ganitong situation eh yung guy alam ng parents nila duwag kaya ayun kinampihan ng buong pamilya,” netizen Almira commented.

Andrea was known for not addressing Ricci directly when discussing her most recent relationship, but she couldn’t stop herself from taking swipes against her ex-boyfriend.

Her recent statements forced Ricci’s family to defend their son finally and even insinuated that Andrea was ‘misguided.’

“I can only wish all the best iha and when the time comes at lumabas na ang tutuo i just hope maka bawi ka pa. We really feel sorry for you coz misguided ka ng mga naka paligid sayo,” Ricci’s father, Paolo Rivero said.

Talent manager and showbiz reporter Ogie Diaz extended his helping hand to save the careers of celebrities Anji Salvacion and Kice, who both received criticism on social media because of their performance on the television series Linlang.

It can be recalled that Ogie himself criticized Anji and Kice and even asked the people behind Linlang to remove the two from the storyline because they were only ruining the show.

“Pero ang gusto kong matapos eh yung subplot ng pag-iibigan nina Anji at Kice. Nakakasira sa daloy ng kwento. Parang nagwo-workshop pa lang sa loob ng isang teleserye. Kalokah,” said Ogie.

Siyempre, kapana-panabik ang bawat episode ng #Linlang. Tapos ko na ang ep 7 & 8, bitin na naman. Pero ang gusto kong matapos eh yung subplot ng pag-iibigan nina Anji at Kice. Nakakasira sa daloy ng kwento. Parang nagwo-workshop pa lang sa loob ng isang teleserye. Kalokah.

In his vlog, Ogie said it would be better for Anji and Kice to undergo an acting workshop to improve their performance.

The talent manager said he would not ask for anything in return.

“Kung gusto ni Anji Salvacion at saka ‘yung si Kice, libre ko kayong iwo-workshop. Hindi ko kayo pagbabayarin” he said.

As of writing, Anji and Kice have yet to give any response to Ogie’s generous offer.

It can be recalled that Ogie’s acting workshop also went viral recently after he showcased how he was preparing his students to act properly during intense scenes.

Former showbiz personality Robby Tarroza said that he would reveal an information about megastar Sharon Cuneta and Gabby Concepcion.

It can be recalled that Robby gained thousands of engagements on social media after he claimed through a Facebook post that Francis Magalona was not legally married to Pia Magalona.

While there was sufficient evidence to disprove the claims of Robby, the US-based creative director seems to want to continue the exposure he got by talking about other celebrities like Sharon and Gabby, who had just recently held their reunion concert.

Robby claimed that he was a former producer of Sharon and Gabby, so he had some trivia that he could share about the annulled couple.

“Sa mga gusto ko magsalita tungkol kay Sharon at kay Gabby, since naging producer ako ng dalawa, pls like my post and comment. If umabot ng 300 I will talk. Try me po! lol,” he said.

Robby was a controversial producer who allegedly used unethical practices to prevent celebrities who were not under his management.

In 2005, late actor Rudy Fernandez confronted Robby in Japan after the former’s show was postponed due to the latter’s action.

Rudy was so disappointed as he was put under the custody of Japanese immigration even if he had legal papers to perform in the said country.

However, one of Rudy’s colleagues reportedly had no permission from his boss to do a show in Japan, an information passed by Robby to the Japanese Embassy.
