SB19 member Stell Ajero reacted to Raquel Pempengco’s comparison of him and her child, Jake Zyrus.

In an interview with Ogie Diaz, Stell said he couldn’t understand why people must compare to artists despite their different talents.

He said it would be better if netizens stopped comparing him to Charice.

“For me naman po, ewan ko po sa mga Pinoy pero hindi po nila maiwasang magkumpara. Sa totoo lang po, bawat isang artist may kani-kaniya naman po ‘yang galing, something special to offer. And ‘yong pagkukumpara, parang dapat alisin na po natin sa isip natin ‘yon kasi si Charice, si Charice na po ‘yon. Nagawa niya na po ‘yon, nakapag-iwan na po siya ng mark, at kung ano po ‘yong ginawa ko, ‘yon naman po ‘yong sarili kong interpretasyon,” said Stell.

He also understood why Raquel was rooting for Jake since it was her child.

“Siyempre nanay po siya, siyempre para sa mga mata ng nanay, anak nila ‘yong pinakamagaling. Pero hindi ko naman po siya masisisi doon po sa nasabi niyang salita, kasi sa kaniya po ‘yon eh, opinyon niya po, and wala naman akong magagawa ro’n,” he stated.

It can be recalled that Raquel went viral on social media after he compared Stell’s performance of “All By Myself” to Charice’s version.

“Gulatin mo din ang mga tao, mag Charice Pempengco ka ulit,” said Raquel. “Pero infairness magaling si Stell Ajero, mala Jed Madela din, but still don’t compare with Charice,”

“Oops just saying lang ha, it’s my own opinion dadami na naman basher ko,” she added.

Lexter “Boy Dila” Castro launched an activity to redeem his image to the delivery rider community.

On June 3, 2024, Lexter traveled with his friends to different parts of San Juan City to distribute free meals for the delivery riders.

He became infamous on social media after he was seen pouring water on a delivery rider during the ‘Wattah, Wattah Festival’ despite the pleading of the latter not to wet him.

In the video, it can be seen that Lexter was also recognized by some riders, who even teased him about what he did last month.

Some netizens saw his gesture as a way to clean his image and to show that his public apology was sincere.

Just a day before his philanthropic activity, Lexter faced San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora and the public to apologize for his actions.

He also vowed not to stick his tongue out anymore or act unruly again in the future.

“Ako’y nagpapasalamat sa kanya [Castro] dahil naglakas loob siya na pumunta dito at aminin ang kanyang mga kasalanan, aminin ang kanyang mga nagawa, humingi ng tawad at paumanhin,” said Zamora.

“Para sa kanya, ito ‘yung leksyon na sinasabi ko, isang bagay na hindi niya makakalimutan dahil natuto siyang magpakumbaba, humingi ng tawad at magbago at hindi niya na ilalabas ang kanyang dila dahil ang kanyang ipinangako at hindi narin siya magiging mayabang sa anumang paraan,” he added.

Entrepreneur and social media personality Rosmar Tan proved she could meet the real Jiro Manio.

In an interview with Julius Babao, Rosmar talked about her life and also flexed her property to the veteran broadcaster.

They also discussed how Rosmar was almost duped by an individual who pretended to be Jiro Manio.

It can be recalled that Ogie Diaz publicly informed Rosmar that she was talking to a fake account named Jiro.

However, during their meeting, Jiro explained that it was his real account, but was hacked by someone.

“Nong last April  2 months ago, nagcheck ako ng Facebook ko, nakita ko may nag-access ng Facebook ko noon nakuha ang code ko, kaya na-hack ang Facebook ko, kaya hindi ko na ma-open ang Facebook ko,”

During their meeting, Rosmar also gave cash and P50,000 worth of her beauty products to Jiro so he could start a business.

“Meron akong Rosmar Products skin care, papadalhan kita ng worth 50 thousands products ng skin care na pwede mong panimula, ang  gagawin mo lang magbebenta ka lang,”  she said.

Jiro was one of the most talented actors during his popularity and even won multiple awards despite his young age.

However, due to his vices, Jiro lost his acting career, but currently trying to explore the industry again by accepting minor projects.

Batangas Vice Governor Mark Leviste ended his silence after his former partner, Kris Aquino, confirmed she already had a new boyfriend.

According to Mark, he was on good terms with Kris and didn’t have any bad blood with the television host.

“As Kris said we’re still ‘friendly.’ Sa totoo lang, wala naman nagbago sa akin, at wala din naman akong sama ng loob at hihinakit sa kanya. As a matter of fact, I am in the States now, while Bimb is back home,” he said.

“I assured Kris, Bimb, Kris’s sisters, and their household help in Orange County that if there’s anything I can do for them, I’ll be there. If I am needed in any way, I will make myself available for them immediately,” he added.

It can be recalled that Mark claimed before that he reconciled with Kris after their first breakup.

However, in an interview with Ogie Diaz, Kris denied that a reconciliation happened between them.

“Yes definitely, walang balikan na mangyayari,” said Kris. “Nagkalabuan na magmula November. Sinubukang ayusin pero may mga nalaman ako na hindi ko gusto,”

Kris also confirmed that her boyfriend was a Filipino doctor who’s based in the Philippines, saying that she could now go home as she was sure that someone would take care of her condition.

“He’s part of the reasons why I’m confident na pwede akong umuwi, kasi alam ko na there’s someone who will help in taking care of me. So obviously, by saying that, alam na nila na he’s a doctor based in the Philippines — in Makati,” she said.

The sister of the late content creator, who passed away due to overeating fatty food, had expressed her disappointment with the comments they were receiving on social media.

Dongz Apatan’s sister, Leah, told GMA News how they were affected by the comments written by some netizens to criticize and make fun of her brother’s passing.

She also denied that Dongz was eating too much food.

“Nasasaktan talaga kami na ginagawa siyang katatawanan ng mga tao na parang walang respeto dahil sa content na kinukuha na hindi tama ang info,” ani Leah.

“Kasi andaming comment na si manoy lang daw kasi deserve daw mamatay dahil gahaman sa pagkain pero content lang naman yan. Hindi siya talaga malakas kumain. Hindi rin niya inuubos din. Hindi gahaman si manoy. Marami siyang natulungan,” dagdag niya pa.

Leah was currently trying to raise funds to help the children left by Dongz as his brother didn’t leave any cent during his passing despite having 400,000 followers.

Meanwhile, cardiologist Dr. Tony Leachon reminded the public to be careful about what they eat.

“Lesson learn ito sa ating lahat, pag naging habit ito, your habits dictates your behavior and your behavior determines your destiny, ang pagkain talaga pag sobra hindi maganda lalo na kapag maalat, mataba at matamis,” he stated.

During the press conference held on July 2, 2024, Castro personally apologized to the public for his behavior during and after the ‘Wattah, Wattah Festival.’

He went viral on social media after he was video-captured pouring water on a delivery rider.

When the media asked Zamora why they had a handshake, the Mayor said it symbolized Castro’s sincere apology to the public.

Zamora also said that Castro would not stick out his tongue next time.

“Yung pagshe-shakehands namin, ito ay isang simbolo ng pag-ako sa kanyang mga nagawa na sa totoo lang ay naging dahilan naman po ng pagkakaroon ng kahihiyan dahil nga po sa kumalat sa social media, nagkaroon po talaga ito ng kahihiyan sa aming lungsod,” said Zamora.

“Ako’y nagpapasalamat sa kanya [Castro] dahil naglakas loob siya na pumunta dito at aminin ang kanyang mga kasalanan, aminin ang kanyang mga nagawa, humingi ng tawad at paumanhin.

“Para sa kanya, ito ‘yung leksyon na sinasabi ko, isang bagay na hindi niya makakalimutan dahil natuto siyang magpakumbaba, humingi ng tawad at magbago at hindi niya na ilalabas ang kanyang dila dahil ang kanyang ipinangako at hindi narin siya magiging mayabang sa anumang paraan,” he added.

On July 2, 2024, it was announced that comedian Dinky Doo passed away, as veteran broadcaster Julius Babao confirmed.

However, several days before Dinky’s passing, he published a post saying that no one from his children helped me.

According to Dinky, he felt he didn’t have any family anymore.

Instead of criticizing his children, Dinky wished for a blessing for his children.

“Parang wala po akong pamilya, walang tumutulong na mga anak ko po. Konti na lang po ang panahon ko po pagpalain po kaung lahat mga anak ko,” he said.

After his passing, one of Dinky’s daughters asked the netizens for prayers.

“Please, all your prayers to my father and family for him to rest peacefully would be very appreciated. like daddy would say, Salamat po sa Dios sa lahat po ng nangyayari,” the statement read.

While they didn’t disclose the reason for Dinky’s passing, it was already known that the comedian was having problems with his diabetes and blood pressure.

Dinky entered the show business industry in 1986 and appeared in the movie Inday Inday sa Balitaw.

He also tried to serve the public by running as a councilor in Quezon City, but he failed to gather enough votes to be elected.

The infamous San Juan City resident Lexter Castro, who’s popularly known as ‘Boy Dila,’ finally faced the public to apologize.

On July 3, 2024, Mayor Francis Zamora presented Castro to the public so the latter could address the public.

In his statement, Castro apologized to Zamora for his unapologetic behavior in the past, which ruined San Juan City’s image.

He also asked the public and the delivery rider for forgiveness.

“Nagpapasensya po ako sa aming mayor sa nagawa ko po. Dahil po sa’kin, nasisira po ang San Juan City po. Sa lahat po, humihingi po ako ng paumanhin sa inyo, sa mga nasa nasabi ko po sa inyo, lalong-lalo na po sa rider,” he stated.

Castro also pleaded with the public not to involve his family.

“Kung ano-ano na lang din po ‘yung lumalabas… lalong-lalo na sa mga pamilya ko. ‘Wag naman po sana nilang idamay. Kung may galit po sila sa’kin, ako na lang po. Masakit din po kasi nadadamay ‘yung pamilya ko,” Castro said.

However, Zamora said that Castro may not face consequences based on the City’s current ordinance.

“Yung kanyang ginawa na pambabasa at ‘yung pagdila kung tutuusin walang violation kahit sa batas, kinunsulta po namin sa ating mga abogado… Wala po kasing violation o anumang batas, ngunit kung sakaling ‘yung rider na binasa niya ay nasira ang cellphone o di kaya’y laptop, puwede siyang kasuhan,” Zamora explained.

Zamora also reminded the public that Castro could not be charged with unjust vexation unless the rider personally filed it.

It can be recalled that Castro went viral on social media after he poured water on a rider during the ‘Wattah, Wattah’ Festival last June 24.

Instead of apologizing, Castro used his social media presence to criticize the people who criticized him.

However, as the day goes, the resident admitted that he was already affected by the criticism he was receiving on social media.

Talent manager and showbiz reporter Ogie Diaz expressed his concern about the possible consequences of Lexter Castro, a.k.a. Boy Dila’s controversy, for his future plans.

In his online program ‘Showbiz Updates,’ Ogie discussed the criticism Lexter received from the netizens due to his unapologetic behavior after his actions at the ‘Wattah, Wattah’ festival.

It can be recalled that Lexter went viral on social media after his unruly behavior during the festival was caught on camera.

According to Ogie, the issue might have long-term effects on Lexter and even affect his future career.

“Nagwo-worry ako dito kay Boy Dila. In the future ‘pag papasok siya ng trabaho baka lang hindi siya tanggapin,”

“Dahil ‘pag iginoogle ‘yong pangalan niya, patay, ikaw pala ‘to. Ayaw namin ng mag-aakyat ka ng pangit na reputasyon dito sa aming kompanya,” he added.

Ogie then joked that it would be better for Lexter to build his own business.

Lexter was currently being hunted by the San Juan City LGU as per Mayor Francis Zamora’s order.

Zamora had already announced that he would give Castro an unforgettable lesson.

“Ipapatawag ko siya at kakausapin ko siya personally, sisiguraduhin ko na matututo siya ng leksyon. Yung masakit na leksyon na maalala niya habambuhay para hindi niya ulitin ulit,” said Zamora.

The infamous resident of San Juan released a public apology amid the news that City officials were already looking for his location after his video during the ‘Wattah, Wattah’ festival went viral on social media.

In his Facebook post, Lexter Castro, a.k.a Boy Dila, admitted that he had already been experiencing too much stress since becoming viral for pouring water on a delivery rider during the festival.

“Masyado na po akong na-stress sa mga nagbabanta sakin, hindi ko narin po kaya, hindi ko narin alam ang gagawin ko talaga ang dami ko ng iniisip,” he stated.

Castro said that he was already looking for the delivery rider so he could apologize personally and end the issue.

“Medyo na-stress na ko guys sa mga namba-bash at nagbabanta sakin guys,” said Lexter. “Hinahanap ko na si manong rider para matapos na ‘yung problema,”

“Gusto ko po kayong maka-meet at humingi ng tawad sa inyo sa personal. Patawaran niyo po ako,” he told the rider.

However, some netizens questioned Castro’s real intention, believing he would only create content during his meeting with the delivery rider.

Meanwhile, San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora backtracked his previous statement and now saying that he would look for Boy Dila and meet him personally.
