MISMONG si Pokwang na ang nagkumpirma na hiwalay na nga silang talaga ng American partner na si Lee O’Brian o si Papang.

Sa interview sa kanya ng PUSH.com ay tahasang sinabi ni Pokwang na hiwalay na nga raw sila ni Papang noon pang November 2021. Personally, knows din namin ito matagal na, pero hindi namin sinusulat bilang respeto sa Kapuso actress.

Naniniwala kami sa sinasabi niyang walang third party dahil iba ang nakarating din sa aming totoong dahilan. Pero yun nga, open naman si Pokwang kay Lee para sa anak nila na si Malia. Gusto rin ni Pokwang na lumaki si Malia na kilala at may relasyon sa ama nito.

Ay sey nga niya, “Okay kami. No third party involved and we’re both co-parenting kay Malia. Maayos naming tinapos ang lahat. Hindi kami pait-paitan,”

Meaning, hindi sila bitter.

Tulad ng ibang hiwalayan, ang balita namin, hindi din naging gano’n kadali kay Pokwang, parang gradual din ang naging proseso niya, pero ready siya sa naging desisyon. Siyempre, hindi naging madali noong una dahil nando’n din ang pangarap niya ng isang buong pamilya.

But since dumami nga yata ang bashers niya lalo na nang maging very open siya sa kanyang political color last election, sinagot niya ang mga bashers na nagsasabing kaya sila naghiwalay ay dahil na- “karma” siya.

Sabi nga niya, “Pakisabi sa mga bashers na nagsasabing karma ito, No! Do not wish anything bad sa kapwa, yon ang karma. Babalik sa kanila yan! Nililinis lang ni God ang daraanan ko papunta sa tamang tao at sa mas maraming blessings na nakapila na.”

Sa isang banda, papuntang U.S. si Pokwang kasama ang kaibigang si K Brosas para sa kanilang U.S. tour this week.

PINABILIB ng Sparkle star na si Bianca Umali ang netizens sa kanyang husay sa martial arts.

Sa Instagram post ng Kapuso actress, pinamalas niya ang kanyang kakaibang galaw at bilis sa martial arts kasama ang trainer na si Erwin Tagle. Pulido ang kilos ni Bianca at lutang ang kanyang husay.

Kaya naman bumuhos ang paghanga mula sa kanyang fans at mga kaibigan na celebrities nang mapanood ang kanyang video.

Kabilang ang Kapuso stars na sina Pokwang, Sanya Lopez, at Mikee Quintos sa mga napa-wow sa galing ni Bianca.
Tanong tuloy ng netizens kung para saan kaya ang training na ito ni Bianca? Paghahanda nga kaya niya ito para sa kanyang bagong show sa GMA?

May nga nagsasabi na sa sequel daw ng Encantadia kunsaan, si Bianca ang isa sa mga Sang’gre. Pero mukhang malabo dahil may nakausap kami from GMA, wala naman daw ito sa mga naka-line-up.

PINAG-USAPAN at umani nang sandamakmak na batikos mula sa mga netizens ang ginawang birthday photo shoot ni Donnalyn Bartolome na kung saan makikita ang isang sexy baby.

Pahayag ng aktres, singer at vlogger, “Contradicting ‘tong shoot na ‘to kasi baby ako sa shoot na ‘to but it’s my actual first daring and sexy photoshoot. Susubukan ko lang kasi maybe it’s time.”

Kaya naman agad na nag-apologize si sa lahat nang naapektuhan ng latest pictorial para sa 28th birthday noong Saturday, July 9.

Reaksyon ng mga netizens, “As a public figure with high algorithmic engagements, you should have been more aware of all your actions. In a broader sense, this is something off and disturbing.

“Portraying babies as hot and mature seems inappropriate. This would actually feed perpetrators’ ego and sexually fantasies.”

“This is inappropriate and disturbing. Sexualizing babies is a No No!”

“Utang ng loob, leave the babies alone”

Kaya naglabas agad ng official statement si Donnalyn hinggil sa issue at hindi aware na maikokonek ang birthday pictorial niya sa child abuse.

“It was an honest mistake, it was never my intention to enable one of the most horrifying acts here on Earth,” panimula ni Donna.

“I couldn’t remove my post right away because I needed it to copyright the photos to prevent the spread of it furthermore until I got a go signal from Facebook and other socmed managers, an assurance that they know I am the owner of the photo and they’ll help me correct this by taking down all of the posts involving this photoshoot.

“You may help us by sending the links of the post of anyone who reposted this for any reason at all. (via message).”

Paliwanag pa niya, “Almost a million people across socmed platforms thought of it light and funny because they know my personality and didn’t look at it that way hence our initial reaction to the idea was the same.. but upon reading other people’s perspective, I completely agree.”

“I feel terrible, sick to my stomach and had disturbing flashbacks I’d rather not say. I was called crazy for being overprotective to all of my siblings, ones I took care of since they were babies.

“It has come to the point where I had to go to a psych to understand my actions because the level of protectiveness was quite extreme, all I’m saying is I’ve taken care of children since I was 11 years old, this was the last thing I would ever intend to do,” kuwento pa ng influencer.

Nagpasalamat din si Donnalyn sa kanyang mga followers:

“Thank you to everyone who let me know, especially those who did it so kindly, you’re the type of people who help me become a better person everyday as I hold the responsibility of influencing millions. It’s not easy.. but I’ll do my best.

“While you’re here. I’d like to use this attention for those who want to help abused children.. There is a care-facility I was admitted in when I was a minor: Nayon ng Kabataan.

“The children admitted there carry so much pain, you can donate or send them little gifts to make them feel better.

“Thanks everyone and I’m sorry.”

Dumagsa rin ang comments ng followers sa FB page niya na karamihan naman ay mga positive at natutuwa sa pag-admit sa mali niyang nagawa.

ISA ang young actress na si Jhassy Busan sa mga bida sa upcoming romantic comedy film na Home I Found In You mula sa direksiyon ni Gabby Ramos, mula sa REMS Films.

Very grateful si Jhassy kay Direk Gabby na siya rin director niya sa award-winning film na Pugon kung saan nakamit niya ang Jury Award for Best Performance Short Film (Male or Female) sa 2021 International Film Festival Manhattan-New York for her excellent performance in “Pugon.”

Sa husay niya, win din siya ng best child actress award for the same film sa Gully International Film Festival in India.

Ginagampanan ni Jhassy ang role ni Selene sa pelikula. Ang karakter niya ay walang hilig sa kahit na sinong celebrity. Normal na probinsyana na walang hilig sa social media. Na kabaligtaran ng personality ni Jhassy in real life.

Kasama rin sa movie sina John Heidrick Sitjar, Harvey Almoneda, Eunice Lagusad, Diego Llorico, Orlando Sol at Soliman Cruz.
