Social media influencer and entrepreneur Rosmar Tan admitted that they didn’t pay a single cent to feed themselves during their visit to Coron, Palawan.

It can be recalled that Rosmar, Rendon Labador, and Team Malakas became controversial after they stormed the municipal hall of Coron due to a negative comment from a government employee against them.

Some residents and businessmen also claimed that the group allegedly took advantage of Coron people’s hospitality by not paying for their food.

In a statement, Rosmar admitted that restaurants served them on the island for free, but it was also arranged between them and the owners.

“YES! Libre totoo naman pero ang kapalit daw nun ay pipicturan kami at ipopost sa mga pages nila hanggat kailan nila gusto. Pero dahil natuwa kami nagpost din kami sa socmed namin at prinomote mga restaurant na kinainan namin,” she said.

“Sa totoo lang 1st time ko na experience ang XDEAL sa foods kasi lagi kapag lumalabas kami ng family ko lagi kami nagbabayad. Kaya natuwa ako nung as Team MALAKAS e nag uunahan talaga sila para ilibre kami ng foods pinapatikim nila samin mga best selleeeer foods nila,” she added.

An X-deal is an arrangement between two parties who want to collaborate in exchange for a company’s goods or services without any monetary involvement.

Rosmar also insisted that the restaurants were satisfied with the arrangement.

“Bilang patunay na HAPPY ang RESTAURANT na iniissue kami, shinare pa nila post ko na nagpunta kami dun tapos ‘inisponsored’ pa nila para maraming makakita na pumunta kami dun papromote sila ng mga products nila tapos ipopost ko ng wala akong sinisingil sakanila kahit singko.” she stated.

Some fans believed that Rosmar, Rendon, and Team Malakas’ deals with the restaurant would never have become controversial if the municipal hall incident hadn’t happened in the first place.

Senator Robin Padilla expressed his confidence that his nephew, Daniel Padilla, would reconcile with Kathryn Bernardo.

In an interview with Abante, Robin said that a project between Daniel and Kathryn would be a big opportunity for the former couple to fix their problems.

“Ganyan talaga ang pag-ibig, sa simula may tampuhan dahil mga bata pa sila pero pag nag -mature sila mare-realize nila na sila pa rin sa isa’t-isa. Tingnan mo ‘pag nagkapelikula uli ‘yang dalawa magkakabalikan yan,” said Robin.

Robin also liked Kathryn for Daniel, even if the latter didn’t vote for him in the last election.

“Boto ako kay Kathryn Kahit hindi niya ako binoto,” he stated.

He also assured Kathryn that the Padilla family would remain respectful.

“Ang buong Padilla ay malaki ang pagpupugay namin kay Kathryn dahil nagbigay rin ng break kay Daniel kaya ang paggalang namin kay Kathryn ay sobra-sobra,” he said.

However, a project between Daniel and Kathryn may not happen anytime soon. It was reported that the Kapamilya actress’ renewed contract included not working with her ex-boyfriend on any projects.

It can be recalled that even Daniel’s father, Rommel Padilla, also hoped his son could still fix his relationship with Kathryn.

“Sana dumating ‘yung pagkakataon na magkita silang muli, magkaunawaan. Napakalaking panahon na nagkasama sila. Sana manumbalik pa ang kanilang pagmamahalan,” Rommel said.

On June 14, 2024, content creator Dongz Apatan’s passing was confirmed by his relatives due to cardiac arrest.

They believed that his extreme eating habits of fatty foods affected his health already.

Leah also said that the content creator passed away broke, and it seems that his extreme eating habits were not worth it.

“Ang DAMING nag tanong kung malaki ba ang naipon ni kuya. WALA wala siyang pera ni sentimo na iniwan sa amin, nadatnan namin sa hospital na walang pera, yung Bank account nya 400 pesos lang ang laman, malaki yung nagastos namin sa hospital, nasangla/nagarantor pa yung motor nya sa hospital para lang mailabas namin yung bangkay, may utang pa kami sa kabaong 20k. Walang wala po talagang pera si kuya na maiwan nangdahil sa di inaasahan na pangyayari!!!!” she also said.

Meanwhile Leah said that Dongz’s Facebook page would still remain and all of its income would be spent to the children he left.

Baby Giant got one of the biggest breaks of his career after being helped by his ‘giant backer.’

In an interview, Baby Giant, or Renz Joshua Baña, shared that Coco Martin, his co-star, and director on FPJ’s Batang Quiapo, recommended him to the producers of Goin Bulilit.

“Ni-recommend po ako, tinawagan po ako ni Direk Coco, and then sabi po niya, ibibigay niya nga raw po ‘yung number ko kay Direk Bobot.” said Renz.

“Si Direk Coco po talaga ang naging daan, ipinasa po niya ang number ko sa kanila po,” he added.

Renz admitted that he would need some adjustments due to his new show.

“Yes merong adjustment po na nangyari kasi doon sa Batang Quiapo po, puro action po ang ginagawa namin and then lumipat po ng comedy, pero kahit action o comedy okay na okay po ako doon,” he stated.

Many questioned Goin’ Bulilit’s decision to replace the original cast of the show Dagul with Renz.

Some netizens believed Renz’s social media posts were unsuitable for children, who would become his audience for the following years.

They also asked the social media personality to delete and stop creating content for adults as he would be more popular with children.

A BDO customer published a public apology to BDO Unibank after his video about his wiped-out account went viral on social media.

It can be recalled that Gleen Canete published a video claiming that someone from BDO might be behind the missing P345,000 in his bank account.

However, Canete suddenly deleted the video and changed his tune hours after publishing his complaint.

The customer also apologized to BDO for quickly judging the bank without looking for other angles.

He also clarified that the bank never forced him to make a statement.

“Lilinawin ko lang po ang live video kung nag viral about sa bank account ng anak ko. Manghingi po ako ng paumanhin sa mismong banko BDO UNIBANK at gusto ko din po linawin na wala po silang kinalaman sa perang nawala są account ng anak ko,” he said.

“Hindi po ano binayaran ng BDO para manahimik at i-delete ang aking live video at wala pong nagutos są akin na mag apologize, kusang loob ko po itong ignava dahil narealize ko na hindi tama na masyado akong nagpadala sa bugso ng damdamin at lumbas sa social media,” he added.

He also confirmed that one of his relatives was possibly involved in his missing money.

“Dahil pamilya ko ang involved sa incidente pinili kung manahimik ng ilang araw para makapagisip ng tama. May tiwala po ako sa nasabing banko BDO Unibank at katunayan account holder po Nila ako ng mahabang panahon,” he stated.

BDO also said in their statement that Canete also asked them to stop the investigation as he wanted to deal with the issue privately with his family.

Sophia Asisto went viral on social media after her mother, Nadia Montenegro, admitted that she was the daughter of Baron Geisler.

The issue became popular in 2008 after veteran columnist Cristy Fermin announced the connection between Nadia and Baron on national television.

However, both Nadia and Baron denied the allegations.

But this year, Baron admitted that he had a secret daughter, confirming his speculations about him and Nadia.

Nadia also confirmed that Baron was the father of her youngest, saying that she didn’t keep it secret from the people close to her, including her husband, Boy Asistio Jr.

WHO IS SOPHIA ASISTIO?

Sophia is the 18-year-old daughter of Nadia, a K-Pop fan, and an aspiring model.

She hasn’t expressed interest yet in following in the footsteps of her mother and father, who were both excellent actors.

According to the actress, her husband gave her name, and she even carried the Asistio surname despite being the daughter of Baron.

Nadia even joked that Sophia wanted to become a Korean citizen due to her love for K-pop.

Nadia said she was proud that Sophia was raised by her and her husband.

“Pinalaki ko siya [nang] punong-puno ng pagmamahal, punong-puno ng respeto sa tatay niyang si Boy, sa nagbigay ng pangalan sa kanya, sa nagpaaral sa kanya, sa nagmahal sa kanya. Walang puwedeng magkwestiyon outside our circle,” she said.

Entrepreneur Rosmar Tan insisted that the restaurants who gave them free meals in Coron received a bargain.

In her statement, Rosmar revealed that the restaurants that fed them for free received big savings, as they received free promotions not only from her but also from other social media personalities like Rendon Labador, as well as members of Team Malakas.

Rosmar claimed that brands typically paid her six digits per post to promote their brand.

“Sa totoo lang kung maniningil ako ng promotion alam nyo naman yan mga kapwa ko marami ff kung magkano rate natin kada isang post di ba? Real talk ako ang singil ko six digits per post ako pa lang ‘yon,” she wrote.

It can be recalled that Rosmar and her group received criticism on social media after some complaints from restaurant owners in Coron circulated on social media.

They claimed that they were not aware that Rosmar and her group would not pay for their meal.

However, Rosmar denied the accusations, saying that many restaurants voluntarily offered their services for free in exchange of promotion.

Rosmar, Rendon, and Team Malakas were currently declared as persona non-grata in Coron.

Nadia Montenegro talked for the first time about her daughter with Baron Geisler.

In an interview with Julius Babao, Nadia said that she didn’t owe any explanation to the public as she didn’t keep it secret from his former husband, Boy Asistio Jr.

“Yung mga nangyari sa buhay ko before, in the past siguro umabot sa 17, 18 years na naitago ko hindi ko ito itinago sa mga taong dapat nakakaalam,” she said. “Hindi ko rin ito itinago sa mga mahal ko sa buhay. Hindi ko itinago sa anak ko. Hindi ko itinago kay Boy,”

“In fact, all these years, it was so difficult for people to understand. Bakit okay sila? Bakit nagtagal sila ni Boy? Bakit sila okay ng mga anak niya kung may ganito?’ Common sense, guys, sa tingin ninyo, hindi ko inayos ito? Tingin ninyo, hindi ko pinlano ito? Tingin ninyo, hindi ko pinroblema ito? Buhay ko ito. Buhay ng anak ko. Pangalan ng asawa ko. Pangalan ko. 

“Buhay ko ito. Buhay ng anak ko. Pangalan ng asawa ko. Pangalan ko. But I don’t think I owe anyone an explanation kung anuman ang ginawa ko sa buhay ko. Napatawad ako ng Panginoon. Maayos namayapa si Boy na okay kami. Maayos ang mga anak ko, sa pagkakaintindi ko. Wala akong pinagsinungalingan sa pamilya ko,” Nadia added.

According to her, she admitted her mistakes to his husband before he passed away.

Meanwhile, Nadia expressed her disappointment towards Baron for not communicating with their daughter Sophia.

“Isang beses pa lamang sila nagkita, biglang in-announce na agad. So, asan dun ang intensiyon mo? Magkaroon ng relationship o gusto mo lang ang views? Gusto mong mapag-usapan o gusto mong mag-promote? Ilagay mo sa tama kung ano ang intensiyon mo kasi ramdam na ramdam ko ayaw na ng anak ko,” she stated.

It can be recalled that Baron admitted that he had a daughter he kept secret.

However, some netizens believed that the actor was only trying to gain publicity for his project, Dearly Beloved.

The issue about Baron and Nadia started in 2008 after it was disclosed by veteran columnist Cristy Fermin.

Cristy’s revelation costs her job on The Buzz, so she can’t stop crying when Baron finally talks about his secret child.

“Iyak ako nang iyak kasi, namputsa, tingnan mo nga naman, after sixteen years, na-vindicate pa ako. Natakot kasi ang ABS-CBN na magdedemanda ang aktres. Kumpleto ako noon ng detalye na nanganak siya sa isang ospital sa pagitan ng Pasig at Mandaluyong,” said Cristy.

Comedian Melai Cantiveros was asked by the press if she was willing to replace Ai-Ai delas Alas as the leading star of the next Tanging Ina movie.

In an interview, a reporter asked Melai about her thoughts on the clamor of the netizens to replace Ai-Ai as the leading actress in the Tanging Ina franchise.

“Ang daming nagpu-push na ikaw daw ang mag remake ng Tanging Ina, anong masasabi mo doon?” the reporter asked.

“Syempre Tanging ina niyo rin,” Melai said in jest.

Afterward, Melai gave an honest answer to the question, saying that she would welcome the offer.

“Kung i-offer sa’kin why not? Sobrang happy pero hindi natin i-bypass si Ms. AiAi delas Alas kasi siya talaga ang ating Queen of Comedy… Dami niya nang napatunayan,” Melai said.

“Nandiyan ap sina Ate Pokwang, sina Eugene Domingo… Kaya kung ikuwan, why not pero wala tayong ma-hurt na mga tao,” she added.

MELAI AS THE TANGING INA of this generation?

It can be recalled that Ai-Ai expressed her disappointment towards ABS-CBN after the network deleted the news about the possible remake of the series.

“Masamang ma news na gusto kong gawin ang Tanging ina the Reunion?? O kung ayaw nyo wala namang pumipilit nag tatanong lang ??? Hindi naman ako mamatay kung hindi ko gagawin yan ..kung ayaw nyo e di wag .. may pa take down take down pa kayong nalalaman OAaaaaaaaa ….#tamananga #maginghumble #umayoskayo maygmafilmsnaman #matagalnakongkapuso #masayakosagma,” she stated.

Sheena Palad may face the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) to explain why she pulled the hair of a “Beat My Birit” contestant.

On June 19, 2024, Sheena joined the singing competition together with Rica Maer.

However, during the performance, Sheena suddenly pulled Rica’s hair and tried to chase the contestant even though the latter was visibly trying to stay away from the aspiring singer.

Even Pokwang’s reaction during the incident was captured on camera.

Pokwang confirmed to Ogie that they were surprised when Sheena became too physical with Rica.

The comedian explained that the initial plan for Sheena and Rica was just to tease each other.

“Tinatawagan ang pansin ng MTRCB, kung ano raw ang magiging aksyon ng MTRCB sa ginawang ito ni Sheena Palad,” said Ogie.

Meanwhile, Rica’s boyfriend, Johann Enriquez, urged Rica to announce that the incident was only scripted.

However, Rica refused to speak on the issue.

Rica also released an apology to minimize the criticism she was receiving.

“Maayos po kami ni Rica ngayon at napatawad nya na po ako sa mga pangyayari. Naguusap din po kami and she is assuring me that she is okay,” said Sheena. “Gusto ko din magapologize sa mga netizens natin na nag call-out po sa akin,” 

MTRCB has yet to give their opinion on the issue.
