TVJ takes center stage as the true maestros behind Eat Bulaga!

TVJ takes center stage as the true maestros behind Eat Bulaga! Just a while back, TVJ clinched the trademark victory for Eat Bulaga, leaving TAPE's trademark in the dust as the IPO gave it the boot. In a pre-noon press conference last Wednesday, just before their show hit the airwaves, TVJ fielded questions like "How did it feel hearing the news?" and "When will you flaunt the name EAT BULAGA?" Curious minds also probed into the origins of the iconic moniker, asking, "How did you come up with the name EAT BULAGA?" Reporters couldn't help but inquire about TVJ's feelings regarding the opposing party's comments. Paolo Contis assured the Kapuso crowd, saying, "Mga Kapuso, mahaba pa ang laban. Ibig sabihin legally, wala pang final. Okay?" According to TVJ's legal representative, although the other party can appeal, the evidence solidly proves that Joey de Leon birthed EAT BULAGA, making them the rightful owners. Not just chasing the green, TVJ emphasized during the presser that their pursuit isn't about the money; it's about securing the respect owed to them as the show's creators. They're also pushing the other side to hand over the tapes of previous episodes featuring TVJ. As TVJ holds their horses, patiently waiting for TAPE to comply with the law's decision before they fully embrace the name EAT BULAGA, their copyright infringement case is hanging in the balance, awaiting the final say. Fans and legit dabarkads couldn't be happier. A massive shoutout to TVJ and the legit dabarkads—congratulations to your win! #Congratulations #TVJ #EatBulaga #TitoSotto #VicSotto #JoeyDeLeon #Entertainment #Trademark #IPO #Jalosjos #TAPE #Friday #EntertainmentFriday

Daniel Padilla expresses his support for Kathryn Bernardo amid split rumors

Daniel Padilla expresses his support for Kathryn Bernardo amid split rumors Break-up this, break-up that. In today’s world where “Marites” has become even more prevalent due to social media, rumors of break-ups of celebrity couples have become more prevalent and harder to refute. The latest victim: “Kathniel,” or the on-screen (and off-screen) romance between actors Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo. The rumors started on November 8 after celebrity reporter Ogie Diaz stated it in his vlog on his YouTube Channel. Ogie Diaz even referenced Andrea Brillantes, who was linked to Daniel. Ogie said, “Hanggang ngayon marami pa ring nangungulit sa amin, ‘Sina Kathryn at Daniel Padilla pa rin ba?' “Talagang pinag-uusapan sa social media yung diumano nga’y hiwalayan ni Kathryn at ni Daniel na ang dahilan daw ay si—siyempre hindi naman ito confirmed, kaya dapat marinig din natin ang panig nila. "Kasi nili-link si Daniel kay Andrea Brillantes." He also added, “May nagchika pa sa akin na pasikretong nagkikita si Daniel at si Andrea." Although Ogie stated that his statement had not yet been validated, many KathNiel followers instantly responded adversely. They also labeled Ogie Diaz a "fake news peddler" because of what he said on his vlog that they believe is false. Daniel Padilla simply debunked the KathNiel claims on Friday, November 10. He posted a video of his girlfriend from Preview, where she is this month's cover model. In the video, Kathryn is getting ready for the shoot. Daniel also liked the post before sharing it on his Instagram story. He attached a cat GIF that sounds like Kathryn's nickname "Kath." One netizen’s tweet (published as is), "Supreme Idol Daniel Padilla debunked all the breakup allegations thrown against him and girlfriend Kathryn Bernardo. Tama na sa fake news!" Another one said, "Ayan na ah? daniel padilla finally debunking the kathniel break up allegations. clear na rin naman na siguro na fake news yung blythe

Rica Peralejo responds to "Christians" who criticize her family for celebrating Halloween. Rica Peralejo and her family are well-known Christians. Her husband is also a Pastor at their church. People admired her family for being devout Christians until a post of hers went viral and a netizen singled out her family. They were dressed as characters from popular games and graphic novels, such as Saitama from "One Punch Man," Super Mario, Ninjago, and Geometry Dash. An Instagram user remarked on her family photo, “Why? Christians are not supposed to get involved in this Halloween thing”. Rica then replied “If you mean Halloween to be demonic practices and evil stuff, then no one should (observe it). But if by Halloween we mean a big costume part with treats for kids, like a whole day candy affair, then I don’t see why not.” She published a lengthy post in her Instagram stories outlining her opinions on Halloween after exchanging various instagram comments. "Halloween has become wholesome in some ways, especially so for the kiddie parties and village trick or treating. So many kids now adults have had the best memories and family time every Halloween because the spirit has become so childlike," she wrote. She also highlighted in her post that fearmongering is prevalent, particularly among Christians. “Fearmongering amongst Christian circles is so bothersome. So many parents have come up to me saying they were told not to for all sorts of things," Rica said. She recalled a parent telling her about their experience going to Halloween parties and being told that by going, "they align with the devil" and their children will endure demonic horrors. "All I can say is that if this is true, then satan should have won by today cause every year, we celebrate Halloween and people dress up all sorts of things and I still see no sign that the devil has overcome. So many people who also trick or treated as kids are fine today. Many of them are str

Jenna Davis from the film M3GAN, Henry Eikenberry, Joe Chrest, and Carla Gugino are also in the cast. Zelda Williams, the late Robin Williams' daughter, makes her directing debut with the picture.

Protecting Our Community: Time for Action in Baras, Antipolo The peaceful town of Baras, Antipolo, has been marred by an unfortunate incident that has deeply troubled many concerned citizens and motorists. A group of seemingly unchecked youths wandered through the town, leaving a trail of vandalism in their wake, with one of their targets being the crucial "Falling Rocks" sign in Pinugay. It's high time for the authorities, particularly PMAJ Junard Briones, Chief of Police of Baras, and the office of Baras Municipal Mayor Wilfredo "Willy" Robles, to sit up, take notice, and take action to ensure the safety and well-being of our community. The act of vandalism in March was captured on video, and photos were posted and shared on social media. A long-haired woman used spray paint and vandalized while the group laughed. The video and photos are from a member of the motorcycle group and were taken directly from the Instagram account of the group going around the area to vandalize. According to the group, there have been accidents in that area because the "Falling Rocks" warning can no longer be read, especially at night. Apart from motorbikes, private cars also frequent this area. The "Falling Rocks" sign is not just a piece of property; it serves as a warning to motorists about potential hazards on the road. Vandalizing such a sign is an act of vandalism and a reckless endangerment of lives. The safety of fellow citizens and those passing through Baras should be paramount. . According to the motorcycle group members, they saw on the Instagram post of "Joyce Ignacio" the group was bragging about the vandalism done in that area. The groups that do illegal things in different cities will be held accountable and fined. According to the riders, in April 2023, there was a corresponding complaint in Antipolo for the vandal group, which is the same group that commits vandalism in various places in Metro Manila, such as Quezon City, Pasig City, and Escolta, Manila.

Mackenyu Arata of 'One Piece' visits Manila in November

Mackenyu Arata of 'One Piece' visits Manila in November Attention, One Piece enthusiasts! This year, the popular Mackenyu Arata will visit the Philippines. The breakout star, who plays Roronoa Zoro in the live-action adaptation of One Piece, announced his attendance at the Manila Pop Culture Convention 2023 in a video posted on ManiPopCon's official page on Tuesday, September 26. "To all my Filipino fans out there, I'm happy to share that I'll be appearing at the ManiPopCon in Manila from the 17th to the 19th," he said. The event, which celebrates pop culture with huge geek activities, competitions, souvenirs, cosplays, and meet-and-greet sessions with various celebrities, will be held from November 17 to 19 at Ayala Malls Manila Bay. In One Piece, Mackenyu excels as a skilled swordsman. In an interview with Timid Magazine, Mackenyu discussed how he balances the expectations of viewers who are already familiar with the source material with the need to offer a fresh and unique portrayal of his character. "When I do live-action stuff, I always keep in mind that—I'm a fan of a lot of manga and anime, but when it comes to live-action, it's a completely different thing. You have to look at it differently. For me, film, anime, and manga, I just separate them," he said. "So if you liked the manga, if you liked the anime, stick with it. If you want to try a new adventure, feel free to come watch my movies and shows," the actor continued. Prior to One Piece, Mackenyu starred in Knights Of The Zodiac as Pegasus Seiya, an orphan who finds he's destined to defend the reincarnation of the goddess Athena and aid her in the quest to restore humanity.
