Wala pang isang taon? Xian Lim and Iris Lee wedding in New York rumor circulates

Rumors about Xian Lim and Iris Lee’s wedding suddenly circulated on social media.

Several showbiz vlogs claimed that the two tied the knot in New York just months after the actor announced breaking up with his long-time girlfriend, Kim Chiu.

The reports even included a post from Xian, which could be a hint about the special day.

“Life is the biggest reward for humanity and everything revolves around this. Expect the unexpected; Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable,” the actor wrote.

Several netizens shared their thoughts on the rumors and even expressed sympathy to Kim.

“Xian Lim and Iris Lee wedding reminds me that taxi cab theory is real. Imagine Kim and Xian been together for 11 years yet he found the one na papakasalan niya after a month of break. I guess the saying was true “men will marry his woman because he’s not ready to commit‚ not because of the length of their relationship.” and “a man settle down when they are ready‚ no matter who they are with.” building a man for another girl is heartbreaking,” netizen Heidee said.

“Kaya girls it’s really ok to ask the man of what really is his intention why he wants to form a relationship with you and vice versa,” she added.

Xian and Iris have yet to give a response to the rumors.

 

Shaira’s fan believes that the Bangsamoro singer being criticize due to her ethnicity: “Hindi kasi nila matanggap!”

A fan of Shaira believed that the so-called “Queen of Bangsamoro Pop” was being criticized due to her ethnicity.

In a Facebook post, Lucky Pinoy, one of the top fans of Shaira, criticized the people outside Mindanao for trying to pull down the singer’s career because of being included in the minority.

According to the fan, the critics of Shaira lack comprehension, saying that the singer already disclaimed that other artists inspired some of her songs.

“Karamihan sa mga “basher” ni Shairaa Moro Singer ay hindi taga Mindanao. Hindi kasi matanggap-tanggap ng iba na isang local artist na galing pa sa minority group ay biglang umangat nang di inaasahan,” he said.

“May mga disclaimers naman na nilagay na hindi niya/nila pagmamay-ari ang kanta hindi pa talaga nage-gets ng ibang mga tao. Inuna kasi ang diskarte sa diploma kaya kulang sa comprehension sa life,” he added.

He even said that if content outside Mindanao had done the same thing, they would never criticize it.

“Pansinin niyo bakit hindi nila (mga bashers) pinapansin yung ibang mga “tiktok artist” na taga Luzon na tinatagalize ang kanta mula sa mga sikat na singers? Instead, ang makikita mo ay puro compliments gaya ng: WOW, IDOL, ASTIG, PROUD TO BE PINOY. Ni wala kang maririnig na salitang “sus ginaya lang niya yan, walang originality”, at kung anu-ano pa,” he stated.

The post has already reached 73 reactions on social media.

However, several experts believed that Shaira commercialized her song, which required her to legally acquire the rights to use a melody or sample of other artists’ creations.

It can be recalled that Shaira was facing a copyright issue due to her song “Selos”, which allegedly had the same melody with “Trouble is a Friend,” by Lenka.

Claudine Barretto, inamin na sobra siyang namayat dahil sa pagpanaw ni Jaclyn Jose

Claudine Barretto admitted that she was so affected by Jaclyn Jose’s passing that she lost weight.

In an interview, Claudine explained her weight loss after some netizens noticed her improved look during her attendance at Johnny Manahan’s birthday party.

According to her, she lost 5 kilos in just a very short time while mourning Jaclyn’s untimely passing.

“Actually, you know, I’m really still grieving. Sobra talaga. Kaya siguro pumayat din ako ng 11 pounds in just few days. Hindi ako makakain. Hindi ako makatulog,” she said.

Claudine wished that Jaclyn’s spirit would visit her sometimes.

“Alam mo yun yung pine-pray ko…Hindi, hindi talaga (nagparamdam). Sana. Hindi ako natatakot. Sana nga makita ko siya. Sana mag-dream ako about her,” she stated.

She also shared that she was also included in Jaclyn’s emergency contacts, which is why she had so much regret that the award-winning actress didn’t have a chance to seek help.

“So maraming regrets, kasi ako yung number one sa emergency call niya. tapos yun nga yung tawag sakin panganay. Punta agad siya sa kwarto ko paggaling ng taping kasi lagi siyang malungkot di ba, at nag-iisa…” she said.

It can be recalled that Jaclyn was living alone as her children, including Andi Eigenmann, chose to live in another place.

Shaira Moro, nakiusap sa mga fans na tigilan na ang pambabatikos kay Lenka

The Queen of Bangsamoro Pop Shaira made a decree to her fans to stop criticizing the Australian singer ‘Lenka’ amid the copyright issue she was facing.

It can be recalled that Shaira’s viral song, “Selos,” was removed from online platforms due to its similarities to the melody of Lenka’s “Trouble is a Friend,”

The removal prompted fans of Shaira to swarm Lenka’s social media pages.

“Nais ko lamang po makiusap sa lahat ng tumatangkilik at sumusuporta sa akin na nakapag kumento o nakapagsalita ng di maganda at di naaangkop laban kay Idol Lenka na kung maaari lamang ay tigilan na po natin ang pagtuligsa o pambabash sa kanya,” said Shaira.

“Naiintindihan ko po ang sentiments nyo dahil sa pag take down ng kantang “Selos”, at nagpapasalamat po ako dahil kahit papano ay nandyan kayo na nagnanais na ipagtanggol ako,” she added.

Shaira revealed that Lenka’s camp approached them in a good way and already exploring ways to fix the issue.

“Nais ko din pong ipaalam na naging maayos ang approach sa amin ng kampo ni Lenka, Mabuti at maayos silang kausap. At nakikita namin na ginagawa lamang nila kung ano yung tama at naaayon sa batas. Sana po ay matigil na ang mga pambabash or pag spread ng hate speech laban sa kanila bagkus ay ipakita po natin na tayo ay Peace Loving Citizen,” she stated.

The issue sparked a discussion on copyright; some producers believed that Shaira didn’t infringe Trouble is a Friend, while some believed it was still the Bangsamoro artist’s responsibility to inform Lenka about her song.

Several netizens reacted to Joey’s post and praised Eat Bulaga’s survivality.

“It’s more than just a show – EAT BULAGA is legendary! With its entertaining segments and long-standing history, it’s no wonder why it has captured the hearts of audiences for decades,” netizen @belroc23 said.

“Walang sinabi si Johnnie Walkker sa inyo..siya keep on walking lang kayo keep on running,” netizen @ronwazowski remarked.

It can be recalled that GMA and ABS-CBN made one of the biggest deals in the history of the television industry.

Starting on April 6, It’s Showtime will be aired on GMA Network replacing the short-lived Tahanang Pinakasamasaya produced by Television and Production Exponents Inc. (TAPE Inc.)

Unlike its block time agreement with TAPE Inc, ABS-CBN and GMA will co-produce It’s Showtime.

 

Music producer, naniniwalang walang nilabag sa copyright si Shaira Moro

A music producer believed that Shaira Moro didn’t infringe any copyright amid the issue received by her song ‘Selos.’

It can be recalled that several netizens informed Australian singer Lenka about Shaira’s song, saying that “Selos” has the same melody as her song “Trouble is a Friend,”

As a response, Shaira’s management voluntarily removed Selos from online platforms.

DJ JNL believed that Shaira’s Selos didn’t use original samples from Lenka’s song.

“Shaira’s version doesn’t breach copyright from sampling since she didn’t use original samples from Lenka’s “Trouble is a Friend”. Oh really, why?” JNL wrote. “The melody is resampled, making it a “cover”, a technique commonly used by renowned figures like David Guetta and Tiesto. That’s why you often hear new songs revitalizing old tunes, such as David Guetta’s “Blue” or Flo Rida’s “Sugar”, originally by Eiffel 65,”

“However, the original artist may take action if the cover artist didn’t pay a “mechanical license” to cover the original song,” he added.

The case was different when it came to popular DJ, Kuya Magik and Carlos Agassi, saying that the two used master samples from original tracks.

“What you should be looking at is Kuya Magik’s Sped Up Remixes or Carlos Agassi’s instrumentals in his songs, as they used master samples from original tracks. Keep in mind, you must secure master rights to use these samples before releasing them as your own,” he stated.

Esther Lahbati, binatikos matapos ilagay sa plastic container ang tanghalian ng mga driver

Actress Sarah Lahbati’s mother, Esther Lahbati, had received criticism on social media after she recorded herself while preparing lunch for her drivers.

In her Instagram post last March 9, Sarah happily shared how she personally cooked food for her drivers.

“#Our lunch for today tinolang manok with papaya,lemon grass,luya,onion and garlic plus sautéd bunga ng malunggay at dahon ng malunggay healhty living galing ang gulay sa bakuran ni alıng Esther,” she wrote.

However, instead of receiving praise from the netizens, she received negative comments for not serving the food for her workers on a plate.

Fortunately, some fans of Esther defended her, saying that people should not judge Sarah’s mother.

“Wala akong nakitang mali sa pinaglagyan ng ulam at kanin. My understanding is maybe yung driver nila doon kakain sa driver’s quarter niya kaya pinag sandok. Sino bang hindi nagrerecycle or reuse ng any plastic container? I believe we all do. Ang importante malinis yung lalagyan and most of all yung acts of generosity. Anyways, parang ang sarap ng niluto niyo esp yung bunga ng malunggay. Kudos!” netizen @pjbriagas said.

“Dito nga sa US usually puro disposables ang ginagamit .. walang masama, importante May healthy food na kakainin.. be happy,” netizen gemfma remarked.

Shaira, nahaharap nanaman sa bagong copyright issue

The ‘Queen of Bangsamoro pop’ Shaira Moro was facing another copyright issue for her other song ‘Forever Single.’

Several X users noticed that another popular song made by Shaira was copied from the Indonesian Band Papinka’s song, “Masih Mencintainya.”

According to them, the composer of “Forever Single,” didn’t even try to ask for permission before using the sample of the song.

Some of them also criticized the lyrics of the song, which, according to them, created a stigma for people who refused to be married in their late 20s.

“The lyrics may be light-hearted but the message is yuck and outdated. It implies that singleness is a curse. My more broad-minded friends, both single and married, will surely object,” a netizen said.

“Wow the lyrics are even off. Yun na yun? Definition natin sa isang pagkatao magjowa before 30 or magsisisi ka?” another netizen commented.

However, some fans reminded the critics that Shaira’s local fanbase was located in the Bangsamoro region where the culture was different.

It can be recalled that Shaira was facing copyright issues after her song “Selos,” was noticed by netizens as almost the same with Australian singer Lenka’s “Trouble is a Friend,”

 

Estudyante at kanyang guro, nahuling may ginagawang kababalaghan sa loob ng classroom

A public school teacher in Aringay, La Union was facing a possible cancellation of her teaching license after she was caught doing a bizarre act with one of her students inside their classroom.

According to the report, the teacher’s family noticed that she had yet to come home and was not responding to their text messages, which prompted them to rush to the school where she was teaching.

When they arrived, they were dazed by the act they witnessed as they saw the teacher and her student without any clothes inside the classroom.

The husband of the teacher then called the authorities to file charges against his wife and his student-lover.

As of writing, the Department of Education (DepEd) has yet to give any statement on the incident, but many people believed that the teaching career of the teacher was over.

The same teacher also received a complaint last January for badly treating one of her students.

 

Claudine Barretto, itinanggi na siya ang humarang sa pagpunta ni Jodi Sta. Maria sa birthday ni Mr. M

Claudine Barretto answered the allegations that she was the one who prevented Jodi Sta. Maria from attending the birthday party of former Star Magic manager, Johnny “Mr. M” Manahan.

In an interview, Claudine said she was unaware that Jodi also received an invitation from Mr. M.

According to Claudine, it was also Jodi’s right to celebrate Mr. M’s birthday as the latter also received mentorship from the showbiz icon.

“Kasi ano po, she has as much right to be there as I am… as I should be there. So, hindi po totoo yun. Wala po akong ganung power para gawin yun. Hindi talaga,” she said.

The rumors started to circulate when talent manager Ogie Diaz claimed that Jodi’s invitation was canceled due to the closeness of Claudine and Mr. M.

“Ang nakarating sa akin kinansel, dinis-invite. Inimbita pero kinansel kasi raw mas pinaboran ‘yung presensya ni Claudine Barretto who happens to be one of the pioneer at anak-anakan ni Mr. M para raw hindi na mag-clash doon sa loob (venue) kasi nga may issue sila, di ba?” Ogie said.

It can be recalled that Jodi was in a relationship with Raymart Santiago, who’s Claudine’s former husband.

Claudine even took a swipe against Jodi, calling the latter as ‘bad influence’.

Ongoing yung annulment namin, pero delay nang delay yung deadline ni Raymart for support, and he’s trying to get custody. Sixteen years old na si Santino, 19 na si Sabina. And hindi ko alam kung bakit gusto niya ng custody,” said Claudine.

Dati oo, meron. Pero siguro sa bagong relationship din, hindi possible. Kasi, hindi magandang influence sa kanya, compared sa isa dati,” she added.
