Sentro pa rin ng mga isyu dahil sa pasaring: ANNE, itinanggi ang viral post tungkol pagdyo-joke ni VICE GANDA

Posted on: August 18th, 2025 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

SENTRO ngayon ng mga isyu ang It’s Showtime host na si Vice Ganda.

Ito ay dahil sa ginawang pasaring ni Vice sa mga DDS at kay former President Duterte.

In fairness, kung may mga bumabatikos ay meron din namang nagtatanggol sa sikay na TV host.

Pati mga followers ni Vice ay nabawasan na from 20M, naging 19M na lang ang followers ni Vice sa kanyang facebook page.

Maraming mga loyal sa mga Duterte ay nag-unfollow na sa kanya .

Kumbaga, hindi nagustuhan ng mga DDS yung jetski holiday joke sa kanyang concert kamakailan lang.

May mga ipinakita pang mga screenshot na bilang pagpapatunay na hindi na sila followers ng isang Vice Ganda.

Dagdag pa ang binanggit ng mga ito na pati raw mga produktong iniindorso ni Vice ay hindi na raw nila tatangkilikin.

Iiwasan na raw ng mga ito na kumain sa McDonald’s pati na rin ang pag-order sa Shopee ay ititigil na raw nila.

Pero hindi raw naman dapat malungkot dahil may mga nagtatanggol pa rin kay Vice at naniniwala silang madali niyang malampasan ang isyung ito.

MATAPANG naman ang komento ng dating sexy star na si Sabrina M sa Facebook account nito.

“Makapagpatawa ka lang kahit may matapakan kang mga tao??? Its very wrong..pwede ka magpatawa ng wala kang lalaitin o matatapakan…from comedy bar to noontime show to concert…haist…VERY WRONG, ” lahad pa ni Sabrina.

Naloka naman si Anne Curtis sa kumalat na post sa social media na supposedly ay hindi siya favor sa ginawa ng kaibigan at kasamahan sa ‘It’s Showtime’ na hanggang ngayon ay trending pa rin dahil sa kanilang concert ni Regine Velasquez na ‘Super Divas’ sa Araneta Coliseum last weekend.

“Good morning guys! See you on showtime today!” umpisa ni Anne.

“And cguro naman by now alam nyo Hindi galing sa akin ung post that’s floating around about my sisterette!!! Konting RESPETO naman po,” dagdag ng bida ng “It’s Okey to Not Be Okay”.

Ayon kasi sa pekeng post ni Anne…

“Sometimes ‘yung joke mo Vice hindi na talaga nakakatuwa, di mo talaga ramdam na nakakasakit kana ng tao. “Kahit yun man ang role mo mag control ka naman sa mga biro mo, alam mo ba na iilan din kami na may lihim na galit sayo?

“Di ka nalang namin pinapatulan dahil lamang sa respito! ang hilig mo magpahiya ng tao di mo nga alam na andami na contestant na badtrip sayo!”

‘Superman’, one of the top 10 highest-grossing Hollywood films of the year

Posted on: August 18th, 2025 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

THE new DC Universe launched with Superman, who is also a symbol of hope, as per the comics.

It is a crucial film in the DCU for several reasons, but it is performing really well overall. James Gunn’s film is now set to beat the MCU-launching movie Iron Man, which features Robert Downey Jr. in the lead role. Iron Man not only kicked off the MCU but also changed RDJ’s life. Keep scrolling for more.

This movie launches the DCU, and several new actors will appear in the universe. It started with Henry Cavill’s replacement with David Corenswet. Gunn was clear that he wanted a younger Clark Kent, and he developed the script that way. Thus, Cavill was never meant to return to the DCU when Gunn and Peter Safran were hired to run the DC Studios.

Superman is one of the top 10 highest-grossing Hollywood films of the year and performs better domestically. James Gunn’s film opened with a $125 million collection at the North American box office.

To date, the movie has raked in $333.78 million domestically and $249.4 million overseas. Adding the overseas and domestic cumes, the worldwide collection has hit $583.18 million. It will lose its strong legs after Friday as it hits digital platforms.

The MCU began with Iron Man in 2008, and it resurrected Robert Downey Jr’s career, turning him into one of the world’s highest-paid and most beloved actors. He became the face of the MCU. The makers took a big risk with him, which was the best decision.

RDJ was meant to play the role of Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, and the film collected $585.79 million against $140 million budget. It was a box office success. James Gunn’s DCU launching movie is less than $5 million away from beating Iron Man at the worldwide box office.

Superman has strong ratings on Rotten Tomatoes – 81% from the critics and 91% from the audience. When Superman becomes embroiled in conflicts both at home and overseas, his actions come under scrutiny, giving tech billionaire Lex Luthor the perfect chance to eliminate the Man of Steel once and for all. James Gunn’s DCU movie was released on July 11 and digitally on August 15. (source: Koimoi.com)

Gusto na sanang mag-settle down at magpakasal: LIZA, kinumpirma na tatlong taon na silang hiwalay ni ENRIQUE

Posted on: August 18th, 2025 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

KINUMPIRMA nga ni Liza Soberano na almost three years na silang hiwalay ni Enrique Gil.

Nangyari ito sa isang episode ng “Can I Come In?” podcast noong Huwebes, August 14.

Napag-usapan nina Liza at ng filmmaker na si Sarah Bahbah ang kanyang relasyon kay Enrique.

Ayon sa aktres, “I’ve been itching to tell people this because I haven’t been very truthful. Quen hasn’t been very truthful. Quen and I broke up.

“But yeah, we’ve been broken up for almost three years now. And the reason, well, originally the reason why we haven’t said anything about it is because Enrique or Quen asked me not to say anything about it first.”

Dagdag kuwento pa ni Liza tungkol sa pagtatago sa publiko ng kanilang paghihiwalay…

“I agreed to that because I also didn’t want it to be real,” pahayag niya.

“And this is coming from the people pleaser side of me because I was so afraid that if people found out we weren’t together anymore, my career would go bad, or you know, people just wouldn’t love me anymore.

“It was me again pretending or putting the things I need to do for myself off to make them happy or make them feel safe. But yeah, me and Quen broke up almost three years ago.”

Dumating din daw sa gusto na niyang mag-settle down at ikakasal kay Enrique pero hindi natuloy…

“When I broke up with him, I would say it was such a beautiful breakup because it was still so, so full of love… it was so hard for me to actually break up with him because I love him. I still love him as a person. When I look back at our time together, I see good moments all the time,” sabi pa ni Liza.

Dagdag pa niya, “That’s not to say he is a bad person. He didn’t do anything bad. Nothing bad happened. Our breakup was really good, it was just that we weren’t a match anymore.”

Ano naman kaya ang magiging reaksyon ni Enrique tungkol sa rebelasyon ng dating kasintahan?

Yan ang ating aabangan.

Dahil tiyak na magti-trending ‘pag nagkamali: KUYA KIM, takot sumali sa ‘Family Feud’ kaya ‘di mapipilit ni DINGDONG

Posted on: August 18th, 2025 by @peoplesbalita No Comments

INILAHAD ni Kuya Kim Atienza na may disadvantage rin ang pagtingin sa kanya ng mga tao bilang matalino na alam ang lahat.

Pag-amin ng Kapuso host, takot siyang sumali sa mga game show.

“Alam mo kung ano ang disadvantage? They expect you to be perfect all the time. I am not perfect. I’m human,” sabi ni Kuya Kim sa vodcast na “Your Honor.”

“Wala naman perpekto. Pero ‘pag nagkamali ako, trending. ‘Pag ‘di ako nagkamali, ‘normal matalino ‘yan eh,'” pagpapatuloy niya.

Kuwento niya, nakailang pag-imbita sa kaniya si Dingdong Dantes para sumali siya sa game show nito na “Family Feud.”

“Takot nga ako sumali ng mga game show eh. Maski ‘yung Family Feud, talagang ilang pilit sa akin ni Dong bago ako sumali diyan.

“Dahil natatakot ako, dahil ‘pag nagkamali ako, trending. Hindi puwede magkamali si Kuya Kim,” patuloy niya.

Kuwento niya, pangatlong taon na niya sa showbiz noon nang sumali siya sa isang game show ni Edu Manzano noong 2007.

“Ang style noon, may questions, multiple choice, pero may 100 na audience. At ‘yung 100 na audience, heckler. ‘Wala, wala, wala ka,’ Gina-gano’n ka. So, madi-distract ka ngayon habang nakikipagtalo ka u’n sa audience,” kuwento ni Kuya Kim.

Hanggang sa tinanong si Kuya Kim kung ano ang pinakamalaking isda sa mundo, kung saan ang tamang sagot ay butanding.

“Alam ko butanding ‘yun eh. Eh dahil busy ako. At ang yabang ko, at alam ko naman lahat,” kuwento niya.

Sa kanyang pagmamadali at ingay ng mga tao, blue whale ang naisagot ni Kuya Kim, at natalo siya sa game show.

Bago pa ang Facebook noon, at naging laman siya agad ng mga meme.

“‘Si Kuya Kim ‘di naman matalino!’ ‘Yung butanding, hindi alam.’ Lumabas sa mga meme. Hanggang ngayon, lumalabas pa rin ‘yan sa mga nakaka-alala,” sabi niya.

“Because Kuya Kim is supposed to be perfect. That is the disadvantage of becoming Kuya Kim,” dagdag niya.

Sinabi rin ni Kuya Kim na may mga tao na mataas ang Intelligence Quotient (IQ), ngunit mababa ang Emotional Quotient (EQ).

“Kasi napakarami ‘yung may high IQ dahil sa pag-aaral. I don’t take it against them. Kaka-aral, na kaka-aral, nakalimutan umikot, nakalimutan magkaroon ng kaibigan, nakalimutan gumimik.

“Kaya tumaas ang IQ. Habang tumaas ang IQ, ang EQ o emotional quotient, ‘yung street smartness, pababa nang pababa nang pababa,” paliwanag niya.

Dahil dito, kulang sa social cues ang mga ganitong tao.

“‘Yun ang mga boring na hindi mabasa ang conversation. ‘Pag kausap mo ‘yun, kung ano-ano sinasabi hindi sensitibo sa ‘yo, hindi nakakaaliw, hindi nakakalibang pero bibigyan ka ng facts,” sabi pa ni Kuya Kim.

Malaking hamon din kay Ashley ang bagong serye:

DERRICK at ELLE, lalabas sa kanilang comfort zone para gampanan ang roles

ANG psychological drama-thriller na ‘Sister’s Game’ ay malapit nang mapanood sa GMA at pagbibidahan ito nina Derrick Monasterio, Elle Villanueva, Ashley Ortega, kasama sina Pinky Amador, Thea Tolentino, Ricardo Cepeda, at Althea Ablan.

“I really have to do some research about it kasi ‘yung character ko si Angel, she is mentally ill. Kailangan kong alagaan kung paano ko gagawin ‘yun para mabigyan na rin ng justice ‘yung role,” kuwento ni Ashley.

Sina Derrick at Elle naman ay lalabas sa kanilang comfort zone para gampanan ang kanilang mga roles sa serye.

“Medyo challenging siya sa part na mayroon kaming kids kasi wala pa kaming kids talaga in real life, but I think with Derrick, that’s pretty easy,” sabi ni Elle.

Inamin naman ni Derrick na natutulungan naman nila ang isa’t isa pagdating sa trabaho.

“What’s good about us is if we’re working, mayroon kaming feedback sa isa’t isa at important ‘yun sa amin because doon namin nai-improve ‘yung character namin,” sabi ng aktor.

Si Thea naman ay gaganap bilang isang lawyer kaya naman inamin nito na challenging din ito para sa kaniya.

“Lawyer ako dito, so as a person na mabilis mag-isip ‘yung brain, kailangan na matutunan ko talaga ‘yung lines kasi may technical words ang pagiging lawyer and talagang strict sa lines dapat. Ako pa naman ay isang ring makakalimutin, so that’s a challenge for me,” paliwanag ni Thea.
