Each party scored legal wins in different aspects.

Vic Sotto gained a point after the Muntinlupa RTC ordered Darryl Yap to take down from all the online platforms the 26-second teaser video of "The Rapists of Pepsi Paloma".

Meanwhile, the court allowed Yap to proceed with the production and eventual release of the film.

Sotto's camp said they will now focus on the cyber libel complaint vs. Yap.

Yap, on the other hand, will not be appealing the decision on teaser removal.

The movie will premiere on February 5. Manonood ka ba, OpinYonista?

Millennials and aging generations can relate to the witty FB post of businesswoman Robina Gokongwei-Pe to usher in the Lunar New Year.

In the caption, Robina wrote: “Look who finally decided to come out of hiding. My shining, shimmering, golden twin (with his pretty in pink girlfriend)! Here’s to a slitheringly good Year of the Snake! 🐍 🎇 🎉." She even struck a pose beside what appeared like a dressing room. 😂

Legend has it that the Gokongwei family built their flagship mall, the Robinsons Galleria, as a hunting ground for victims who had to be fed regularly to a snake-like twin of Robina. She had publicly denied such rumors.

At the Daniel Romualdez airport in Tacloban, the TV screens are busy selling candidates for the elections, dominated by the senatorial bets.

Chavit Singson's Santa Claus act either entertains waiting passengers or annoys them. In the campaign video, Chavit bandied "May Isang Salita", his slogan of choice. Reminds me of his daily interviews with Deo Macalma of DZRH where he boasted, "Kapag sinabi ko, gagawin ko."

E, di ba, hindi lang n'ya sinabi kundi ginawa pa niya -- ang pagpa-file ng candidacy for senator? Ngayon, dahil lang umano sa pulmonya ay nag-withdraw siya. Tapos ngayon, may picture na healthy siya?

Truth to tell, numero uno si Chavit sa Facebook engagements pero mahina siya sa survey. Hindi credible ang may isang salita. If he values his word, he should not have withdrawn. Ngayon lolokohin pa tayo na may pneumonia siya. He withdrew because sayang ang pera, matatalo rin naman.

Reminds me of the fiesty Miriam Defensor Santiago. May cancer na during the presidential campaign debate, nahihirapan nang makakatayo, pero laban pa rin. Disease cannot defeat her spirit. She did not withdraw.

Mas may bayag si Miriam kaysa kay Chavit, di ba? Nothing personal here. Simply just doing my job. Let me know your thoughts, Opinyonista.

Have you seen this video on news? Really thought she did not make it alive.

In the video, a Filipina tourist was standing close to the train tracks in Shifen Sky Lantern Old Street, Taipei, Taiwan, taking what appeared to be a selfie photo. She was raising her left arm when the incoming train struck her and dragged her into the tracks.

The Pinay underwent surgery and is in stable condition now. She could be fined up to TWD50,000 or almost P100K for trespassing the train railing.

Siya na itong nasugatan, siya pa itong pagmumultahin... nang dahil lang sa selfie. It was a lesson learned the hard way. 🤳

Hours after American President Donald Trump initiated the process for the US to exit the World Health Organization (WHO), the agency released a statement saying "we hope the US will reconsider and we look forward to engaging in constructive dialogue." In other words, 'wag naman daw sana ganun, sabi ng WHO.

In Trump's Executive Order, it justified its move saying that "the WHO continues to demand unfairly onerous payments from the United States, far out of proportion with other countries' contributions."

US is said to be WHO's largest contributor, donated about $1.3-B in 2023 alone. 👀 (eyes emoji)

I'm just concerned about how this US withdrawal impacts on global disease prevention in case of outbreaks and future pandemics. How do you think this will affect us Filipinos, Opinyonista?🤔(thinking face emoji)

US President Donald is back at the White House. In his inaugural address, he mentioned that "it will be the official policy of the US government that there are only two genders, male and female." This is quite a big blow to the rights of the community. 🏳️‍🌈

What's your take on this, OpinYonistas?

Magnanakaw, nagpanggap na empleyado ng gobyerno

Babala sa mga maybahay: huwag agad-agad magpapasok ng mga taong hindi kilala, kahit na magpakilala pa silang government employees.

Ito ang paalala ng mga awtoridad matapos ang isang insidente ng panloloob sa isang bahay sa Santa Rosa City, Laguna nitong Lunes, January 20.

Sa ulat ng Santa Rosa City Police Station, naganap ang nasabing insidente bandang alas-nwebe ng umaga sa isang private subdivision sa Barangay Caingin ng naturang lungsod.

Ayon sa dalawang biktima na kinilala sa mga alyas na "Shiela" at "Johcel," tatlong lalaki ang kumatok sa kanilang bahay at nagsabing mga empleyado sila ng pamahalaang lungsod ng Santa Rosa na nagsasagawa umano ng census.

Ngunit nang papasukin na nila ang mga lalaki sa loob ng bahay ay doon na umano bumunot ng baril ang mga suspek at nagdeklara ng holdap.

Tinangay ng mga suspek ang aabot sa P10.5 milyong halaga ng cash, alahas at gadgets mula sa mga biktima at pagkatapos ay tumakas papunta sa direksyon ng Barangay Malusak.

Isang follow-up operation na ang isinasagawa ng mga awtoridad upang madakip ang mga suspek.

TikTok vlogger Tan is now again.

Of course, she was just too excited to see her new baby and its heartbeat; that she availed the pregnancy ultrasound at the Emergency Room and posted it online to gain likes.

Ganun ka-emergency ba yung ultrasound niya; ER-level agad? Ang alam ko sa ER, pang-life and death situation. Tsk. Tsk. She's not even elected as a Manila councilor yet.

Anong say n'yo dito, mga OpinYonista?
