Veteran columnist Cristy Fermin made another direct criticism against It’s Showtime host Vice Ganda.

In her program, “Showbiz Now Na!” Cristy said that Vice’s arrogance was inborn and no one could change his attitude anymore.

“‘Yun na siya, innate na ‘yon, ipinanganak siya kakambal na ng kanyang inunan ‘yung kayabangan,” said Cristy. “Yung kayabangan niya, ‘yung pagiging hambog niya na sinasabi ng ating mga kababayan, pag-aralan po nating mabuti – may dahilan ‘yon,” 

“May mga kulang po na kailangan niyang punan, may mga butas na dapat niyang takpan kaya dapat ay unawain natin siya sa pagiging mayabang,” she added.

She also disclosed that many homegrown talents of GMA were not happy with It’s Showtime’s transfer to the Kapuso Network.

“Tandaan niyo, walang masyadong nag-welcome sa inyo na artist ng GMA,” Cristy’s co-host, Rommel Chika said.

“Hindi man pinaramdam ng harapan at lantaran sa inyo, kumakalat po ang impormasyon na maraming artista, mga homegrown talents ng GMA 7 na hindi natuwa sa pagpasok ninyo sa GMA 7, alam natin ang katotohanan diyan,” she said.

As of writing, Vice has yet to give his response to Cristy.

It can be recalled that GMA Network and ABS-CBN made a historic partnership to air It’s Showtime on the Kapuso Network.

However, some reports claimed that the contract between It’s Showtime and GMA Network was only limited as they’re still testing if the Kapamilya show’s ratings would perform well.

Talent manager Ogie Diaz surprised the netizens after he confirmed that Kathryn Bernardo was being courted by both Alden Richards and Jericho Rosales.

In his online program, Ogie, who’s known for his accurate showbiz news, said that two men were trying to chase Kathryn’s sweet “yes,” just months after her separation with Daniel Padilla.

“Ang sabi din ng aking source ay nanliligaw din daw itong si Jericho Rosales kay Kathryn Bernardo.” said Ogie.

Ogie said that Kathryn’s family was in favor of Alden.

“Pero kung botohan at botohan daw sa pamilya ni Kathryn, parang mas boto sila kay Alden,” he stated.

“Makikita naman daw ‘yan sa kanilang body language… at gustong-gusto raw ng pamilya ni Kathryn si Alden… kasi daw… lalo daw kay Mommy Min… si Alden ay isang negosyante, si Alden ay financial stable, responsable, kaya raw natutuwa at naaaliw kay Alden ‘yung pamilya ni Kathryn,” he added.

Aside from being an actor, Alden also owned several businesses, which made him an ideal boyfriend for Kathryn.

However several fans believed it was too early for the two men to court Kathryn since she just came from an 11-year relationship with Daniel.

Meanwhile, Kathryn has yet to give any statement if she is open already to another relationship.

Veteran columnist Cristy Fermin believed that TV5’s noontime show, Eat Bulaga was not pressured despite the transfer of It’s Showtime on GMA Network.

In her program, “Showbiz Now Na!” Cristy denied that TV5 called Eat Bulaga’s TVJ Productions for an emergency meeting due to financial problems and decreasing ratings.

According to her, it was It’s Showtime that was being pressured to surpass Eat Bulaga.

“Yong nagpapakalat po ng kuwento na nag-emergency meeting daw po ang Tito, Vic, Joey at ang Media Quest, wala pong katotohanan ‘yan. Unang-una, ano po ang kailangan nilang maging dahilan para sa isang emergency meeting?” she said.

“‘Yong opening, nagtapatan. Pero ‘yong Lunes at Martes po habang pressured na pressured po ang ‘It’s Showtime’ at talagang ‘di nila halos malaman ang gagawin, tape po ang Eat Bulaga ng Lunes at Martes.

She added: “‘Yon ba ang pressured? ‘Yong tinapat sa inyo naka-tape? Chillax na chillax. Nag-gogolf ang mga bida. Chillax na chillax ang mga Dabarkads.”

It can be recalled that several reports about the alleged emergency meeting between TV5’s MediaQuest and TVJ Productions emerged on social media.

TVJ Products didn’t confirm nor deny the said news.

It’s Showtime surpassed Eat Bulaga during their pilot episode on GMA Network, which believed one of the reasons why the rumored emergency meeting was called.

Hindi mapigilan ng mga netizens na awatin ang Kapuso host na si Cassy Legaspi matapos nitong mag-post ng iba’t ibang videos nila ni Darren Espanto.

Sa loob lamang ng 24 oras ay nagbahagi si Cassy ng mahigit siyam na video nila ni Darren sa kanyang Facebook page na agad namang napansin ng mga netizens.

Ayon sa mga netizens ay tila halata na mayroong gustong ipahiwatig si Cassy kaya naman patuloy itong nagbabahagi ng mga ala-ala nila ni Darren.

“Ano bang purpose ng mga video mo? Halos lahat ng post mo about kay darren eh sya nga dika mina my day eh wla nmn plang kayo tas panay post ka ng ganyan haha,” ani netizen John.

“Value yourself first and stop posting pics of someone who’s denying the real score to the whole world; might as well save your self-esteem and find someone who’s worth it,” sabi naman ni netizen Eleanor.

“Wag ng ipilit nag mumukha kang despirada bumalik sau mga mahanghang na salita ng modra mo about don sa ex ng kambal mo iksw nagbabayad sa karma ng nanay mo,” wika naman ni netizen Moye.

Matatandaan na pinag-usapan sa social media ang pagtanggi ni Darren sa kanilang relasyon ni Cassy at nilinaw nito na matalik lamang silang magkaibigan.

Ngunit marami ang naniniwala na may mas malalim pang relasyon ang dalawa.

Director Cathy Garcia-Sampana reacted to the speculations surrounding the relationship between Alden Richards and Kathryn Bernardo.

Direk Cathy, who’s the director of Kathryn and Alden’s top-grossing film, “Hello, Love Goodbye,” said in an interview with Pep.ph, that it would be better for netizens to stop surmising the relationship between the two celebrities.

“Hindi po ibig sabihin na dahil nagkasama lang ay nagkaligawan na po. Puwede namang pure friendship and puwede rin naman simula of something,” she said.

If only she could be followed, Direk Cathy said that it would be more beneficial for Kathryn to take a rest from being romantically involved with someone.

“Gusto ko munang magpahinga ang puso ni Kathryn. Para mas open kapag tumanggap ng bago kahit sinuman yun,” she stated.

It can be recalled that Kathryn and Alden went viral after they were spotted being sweet together on different occasions.

The sweetness between the two sparked a discussion between KathNiel fans and AlDub fans.

While KathNiel fans were happy to see Kathryn enjoying her freedom, some AlDub fans couldn’t hide their disappointment over the closeness of Alden to the Kapamilya actress.

Alden made a comment on his relationship with Kathryn.

“What you see is what you get. Hindi lang din talaga kailangan lagi ipamalita sa social media ‘yung mga ganiyan. You know, sometimes ‘yung mga personal things that’s happening, better be personal na lang,” Alden stated.

Mommy Dionisia Pacquiao and her partner, Mike Yamson celebrated their 10th anniversary.

In his Facebook post, Mike dedicated a short message to Dionesia, who’s the mother of the only eight-division world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao.

“Happy 10th year anniversary of being together thanks GOD-GOD gave me YOU,” said Mike.

Mike also posted a video, where the two could be heard exchanging sweet messages with each other.

“Happy 10th year anniversary of being together. Maraming Salamat. Thank you, Lord,” Mike told Dionisia.

It can be recalled that many doubted Mike’s intention for the 75-year-old Dionisia when they met, especially since they had a 27-year age gap.

In an interview in 2014, Mike, who worked as a seaman and dancing instructor of Dionisia admitted that he was not happy with the comments he received from the netizens.

“Gusto kong magbarko ulit para kumita ng sariling pera. Gusto kong patunayan sa pamilya niya na kaya kong kumita ng sarili kong pera at patunayan sa lahat na malinis ang aking itnensyon,” said Mike.

Mike also narrated that he was the one who gave his number to Dionesia when they first met.

“Niligaw-ligawan ko ‘yan, hindi lang sa text at saka sa tawag. Personal, pinupuntahan ko siya, para maparamdam ko talaga yung nararamdaman ko,” he said in an interview.

Currently, Mike has already retired from his job and is now busy vlogging his everyday activities with Dionisia.

Anjo Yllana revealed that there’s no chance for any Eat Bulaga host to return to the program if they got removed or decided to resign from the show.

In an interview with Ogie Diaz, Anjo shared his experience with the Dabarkads and the work environment in Eat Bulaga during Television and Production Exponents Incorporated’s (TAPE Inc.) management.

“Sa totoo lang sa Bulaga kasi, once wala ka na du’n, tinanggal ka or nag-resign ka, wala pa akong kilalang nakabalik kahit na gusto nilang bumalik,” he said.

“Ganu’n ang patakaran ng Eat Bulaga,” he added.

According to Anjo, the unwritten rule was the reason why he didn’t expect to return anytime soon to Eat Bulaga.

“Dati ko pang alam na nu’ng nag-resign ako, hindi na ako makakabalik sa Eat Bulaga kasi ‘yun ang patakaran do’n,” he stated.

“Although, pwede kang mag-guest at habang buhay ka nang Dabarkads,” he also said.

He stated that many former hosts of Eat Bulaga wanted to return from the show, but all of their attempts failed.

“Marami akong kilala na gustong dati n’ung nandoon pa ako, hindi talaga pwede eh, parang meron silang ganu’n na prinsipyo,” Anjo remarked.

Anjo is one of the longest hosts of Eat Bulaga and stayed as a Dabarkad for almost 22 years.

In 2020, Anjo announced his resignation from the show, and later on, launched their own noontime show on NET25, which only lasted for 11 months.

During the feud between Eat Bulaga hosts and TAPE, Anjo reminded the production company of his unpaid talent fees.

Carmina Villaroel’s statement on a podcast together with Candy Pangilinan, Janice de Belen, and Gelli de Belen went viral on social media amid the issue between Darren Espanto and Cassy Legaspi.

In the podcast “Wala Pa Kaming Title Podcast” which can be found on Janice’s Youtube channel, Carmina was asked if her children, Cassy and Mavy would invite someone into their house, and later on, realized that they didn’t pass on her approval meter.

Carmina responded that she would be assertive to the people surrounding her children whom she didn’t like.

“Ako kasi whether friends, kapitbahay, o kaeskwela, very open kami. ‘Pag may nakuwento sila o na-witness ako, sinasabi ko agad na hindi ko sila type,” said Carmina. “Sa case ko na gano’n ‘pag sinasabi ko agad, hindi na ‘yan makakaulit sa bahay,”

She even said that even if her child’s partner is not an exemption from her rule.

“Hindi ko nga siya matatangap! Ano ako mag-a-adjust du’n sa girlfriend?” she stated.

It can be recalled that Carmina was being accused by netizens of being controlling to her children when it comes to their love life.

Some even told the television host that she must stop interfering with her children as they’re old enough to decide for themselves.

Gerald Anderson reacted to the viral meeting between his current girlfriend, Julia Barretto, and his ex-partner, Bea Alonzo.

Bea and Julia met during the birthday party of former Star Magic Manager, and now GMA Network’s Sparkle consultant Johnny “Mr. M” Manahan.

In an interview with ABS-CBN on April 13, Gerald said that the meeting between Julia and Bea was the only evidence that time would heal everything, even conflicts.

“Time heals,” he said. “Ganoon talaga, you know, time heals and… basta moving forward lahat,” 

It can be recalled that Bea and Julia became one of the most discussed celebrities in 2019, due to their feud.

Bea took a swipe against Julia after her relationship with Gerald turned out to be a failure, while the latter addressed the Kapuso actress directly on her Instagram post.

“I would like to disassociate myself from the break up of Bea and Gerald. Their issues are entirely their own,” Julia wrote.

“Your heartbreak should have been a private matter, but you have selfishly turned it into something of national concern. Bea, you wanted to keep your hands clean by not mentioning me in your controversial post, but with a click of your finger, in your sly way, you have charged everybody to destroy me FOR YOU,” she added.

At first, Julia denied that she was dating Gerald, but in 2021, the two decided to admit their relationship.

Filipino-Swiss bank manager Mike Wuethrich posted a birthday greeting to his rumored girlfriend, KC Concepcion.

In his post, Mike said he hoped KC to find what she deserved.

“Happy birthday @kristinaconcepcion [heart emoji]. I hope you find what you deserve [praying emoji],” he wrote.

However, the message published by Mike became prone to speculations and some netizens even asked if the two were not together anymore.

Here’s some of the comments from the netizens:

“Para sa mga may daddy issues like KC and myself, mahirap talaga makahanap ng partner. Same age din kami, not as rich as her pero well-established din. We want this man na parang out of this world ang qualities, yung ang taas ng bar/standard na sinasabi. And if they don’t meet that, nawawala ng gana toward them,” a netizen said.

“Ano ba kayo. Hindi someone you deserve. What you deserve. So hindi sila break. May something lang na dapat maachieve ni KC,”

“Mukhang yun guy ang nakipag-break. Prior to that, he posted on his IGS “I would rather have a nobody than half of somebody,” 

Mike and KC were included in the radar of the netizens after they started to post photos and exchange sweet messages last year.

Mike could also be seen on some vlogs on KC’s social media channel.

Netizens believed that KC soft-launched Mike on her Valentine’s Day post in 2023.
