It's interesting that Kim Chiu fires back with something interesting for her fans and to everyone with the criticisms thrown at her for her viral classroom analogy statement and this is through her newest feel-good single “Bawal Lumabas (The Classroom Song)” released under Star POP.

“Okay lang magkamali. I learned my lesson. Now, let's celebrate!" Kim said on what message the track hopes to send out.

Over the past week, the Kapamilya actress’ statement in which she tried to compare the terms of ABS-CBN’s franchise renewal to the rules in a classroom spawned various memes and even dance remixes.

Instead of sulking, however, she came up with this song, which admittedly pokes fun at her confusing statement in its chorus, but also embraces the blunder that she made as a learning experience in its entirety.
v It also promotes positivity by reminding listeners that when faced with a personal or social crisis, the only way to turn it around is to fully accept it, respect others’ opinions, and move forward as a better person who has learned his lesson.

A product of an accidental collaboration, the words, and music of “Bawal Lumabas (The Classroom Song)” was written by Kim, Adrian Crisanto, and Squammy Beats, with back-up vocals by Chir Cataran and vocal arrangement by ABS-CBN Music creative director Jonathan Manalo. Squammy Beats also mixed, mastered, and produced the song.

Kim’s new single follows “’Wag Kang Bumitaw,” an inspirational song that dropped a day after her birthday last April 19.

Don’t let your mistakes stop you from being a better version of yourself! Listen to Kim’s “Bawal Lumabas (The Classroom Song)” on ABS-CBN Star Music’s YouTube channel and Star Music’s Facebook page.

For a human being, probably one of the hardest things to do is to admit or the act of admission. It is hard to do when you're a celebrity who has been in the limelight. All eyes are always on you. The talk will always be the wrong actions rather than what is best that you did. For Karen Reyes, former housemate of the Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Season 4, it takes a little bit of strength to admit that she is now a Mom.

Yes, Karen Reyes, the 2nd Big Placer of PBB during the 2012 edition, recently admitted to the public through her Vlog that she is already a mom. The admission took place during the celebration of Mother's Day. Take note that she is not just a mom but a mom of two kids already. Her eldest kid was two years, and the second one is still a baby.


Why did Karen keep it as a secret? According to her during the vlog revelation, "natakot ako kaya hindi ko nasabi agad." She got scared, that's why she didn't mention the pregnancy at that time, except for her sister and bestfriend. According to Karen, she got pregnant in 2017 and was still working with the movie "My Ex and Whys."

She got scared of the idea of losing her job once she admits the pregnancy. Remember that she was at the peak of her career at that time, and the admission would probably ruin her career. The secret continues, and last year 2019, her second baby was born. So it was still hidden until this 2020 Mother's Day.

Well, after watching her revelation, I can say that she was relieved, or more to say "nabunutan ng tinik."

Visit Karen Reyes' Vlog for the story.

One of the beautiful products of Pinoy Big Brother (PBB), Kisses Delavin, has created a name. We have seen her become herself and truthful with her actions inside the PBB house. It was a few years ago when she was still on her sweet sixteen. It seems that time does fly so fast because just recently, Kisses celebrated her 21st birthday. So it was five years have passed since she started with her showbiz career.

The Love Teams
Right after PBB and with the thought that their partnership clicked to the masses, the KissMarc Love Team was born - Kisses Delavin and Marco Gallo. It was sweet at first, but later on, a break up happens because of some misunderstanding and issues.


After KissMarc, another partnership was born, the DonKiss - Donny Pangilinan and Kisses Delavin. It was the time when Vice Ganda included the couple in the movie for the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF). Unfortunately, just like the previous partner, they went on their separate ways. It's another issue about her partner.

Just right before the outbreak of the COVID-19, McCoy De Leon was probably the next in line with her. Though, they do have some good chemistry on cam and off cam. But the problem was, she ended her contract with the Kapamilya network, so the probability of McCoy and Kisses is already 50/50.


The Probable Reasons
With her five years of being in the showbiz industry, it seems that Kisses is having problems with her partners. In five years, she already lost two love teams. Why is it so? Well, there are quite a few probable reasons that we found but no conformity of the subject.

• Kisses Delavin, is an NBSB (as what we have heard from previous interviews), so the tendency to act and be sweet with her partner is probably unusual to her, which gives a different signal to her partner.
• Being the only daughter and probably born of the traditional Pinoy family made her mindful of the simple courtesy and etiquette that are maybe different from her partners.
• Shes too straight and vocal about her thoughts and feelings.

So these are only speculations that may or may not be accurate at all. Knowing that Kisses is a promising actress, staying in a love team is probably not for her. She can do more with her showbiz career without a love team.

From teens to twenties, we all feel that romantic urge in our life, the feeling of being complete because of the special someone who's very much close to us. The very thought that that person makes every moment of our lives memory a treasure to cherish. Love isn't all about romance, but it also entails responsibility. Just like the Spiderman quote that says, "great power comes with great responsibility," and we can say that love is a power that we all have in our hearts. And I believe that the MayWard love team understands that big responsibility that will come to both of them if they fell into that relationship trap.

That is what they probably felt when most of the people around them are very fond of their closeness together on-screen and off-screen. Most of the fans are expecting, maybe, that both of them will end up together in a relationship. Well, it's not that far to happen.

In an Instagram post of Edward Barber, which is probably a collective effort of the two to bring the news to their fans about their relationship, says that "...we both are still very young, and there is so much more we still want to achieve in our lives...," it is straight to the point, but there's another interpretation about the matter. Take note of the line 'achieve,' which is the usual reason for the past love teams to go on their separate ways. They wanted to grow more of their career paths.

So, whether they'll be moving on with their careers or not, they made it clear they are not rushing about to have a romantic relationship. Let's hope that it won't be another love team to go on separate ways.

I remember I had my post here about KC's being so confident about her body. Well, who wouldn't be she got all the curves in the right places. That one gained a lot of reactions and comments from not only the fans but almost every netizen. For sure, some eyes are very much pleased with the view. But there are who thinks the other way around.

Well, you cannot please everybody and sometimes doing things unconventionally, will turn out something not what you want to. Especially in our country, where there are so many people with so many ideas and opinions on a topic.

Now, KC Concepcion had another controversial post on her account that made followers and netizens react to what she shared on her social media account. The post was a week ago which speaks about her appreciation to all the frontliners.

"Sharing good vibes! 💕💕💕 A huge cyber APPLAUSE to all nurses, doctors, security guards, grocery/pharmacy/hospital clerks & all FRONTLINERS out in the battlefield today. 👏🏼 MARAMING SALAMAT PO! ✨".

The gesture and intention were good, but how it was shown made it more controversial.

Now, what do you think? For me, she should have worn something less revealing since there are still a lot of Filipinos who are very much of a Maria Clara. On her point, yes, she's right she can do whatever she wants with her body, so we don't have the right to say bad things about what she did. All we can do is react.

So, which one again is clapping is it her hands or her boobies?

You've probably seen him regularly plays the role of a Congressman, a General, a Villain, a father, a Businessman, or a Doctor, from drama to comedy to action. He is one of the veteran actors who have played so many roles in the movie and television industry. Domingo "Menggie" Cobarrubias, passed away at the age of 68 due to complications from pneumonia. He died right before the release of his COVID-19 testing.

Another great actor has fallen. Seen from his social media account his last post was "GOODBYE", probably he already knows that he won't be around anymore.

Some of the films, series and TV shows he has played are Graceland, Bagman, Jaguar, Last Fool Show, Eerie, Beautiful Justice, The Killer Bride, Daig Kayo ng Lola ko, Ipaglaban Mo, and Maalaala Mo Kaya.

Farewell veteran actor "DOMINGO 'MENGGIE' COBARRUBIAS".

Remember that I have featured the first millionaire of It's Showtime's Piling Lucky game segment, now they have another winner but this time it's a house and lot. Yes, what's interesting with the winner is that they have a story to tell that made them the very right person to win the prize.

Marissa Rocha and her husband Christian have stopped worrying about getting kicked out of a small room that is their home after she, a 32-year-old housewife, won a brand new house and lot from Lessandra in the jackpot round of “It’s Showtime’s” Piling Lucky segment.

“Winning a new house is a big help to us, we don’t need to rent anymore. We only have to pay for electricity and water from now on. It brings us great comfort,”said Marissa, 32.

Marissa and her husband Christian, 35, have been sharing a room with their one-year-old child in Sta. Ana, Manila. This room is part of a house they live in with Christian’s relatives – his grandmother, his aunt, and his siblings. Every month, the siblings chip in for the rent and utilities.

Christian’s family has been renting out the property for 24 years, until last year, they were notified that the owner put it up for sale and that they needed to find a new home.

“We should have moved out last year. The owner has been telling us. That is why he has been looking for a place, so we can move out when we are forced to,” shared Marissa.

“I’ve been looking up houses in Cavite on Facebook. ‘Ma, do you want this? It’s only P2,000 monthly.’ ‘No, that’s too expensive.’ Little did we know a house is coming our way,” shared Christian.

Living in a place they can call their own is a dream come true for the couple. In fact, when “It’s Showtime” announced that a brand new house and lot was going to be the jackpot prize in “Piling Lucky,” the couple was optimistic, and prayed for divine intervention when they went to church last Sunday.

Because of “Piling Lucky” and a brand new house and lot from Lessandra, Marissa and Christian can look forward to building a future with their family in Tanza, Cavite. They can now devote their resources to paying off their loan for a car that Christian is using for his job.

Marissa and her family can now finally move in to a place they can call their own home, after being blessed with a brand new two-storey townhouse “Arielle,” with 36-square meter floor area and 42-square meter lot area, which features two bedrooms, a living area, dining and kitchen, toilet, and bathroom. Bringing the utmost convenience and accessibility to everything that they need, Lessandra guarantees a wise home investment for them, affording its homeowners a wide selection of brilliantly crafted houses and a complete set of amenities like club house, swimming pool, basketball court, and playground. They can now enjoy a home that is strategically located in close proximity to business and commercial hubs, schools, hospitals, churches, and major transportation hubs.


Lessandra, provider of affordable, quality dream homes that elevate Filipino’s lives, is the fastest rising star in the housing industry with real estate properties that offers convenience and exclusivity all over the country. Perfect for young professionals and starting families, it is a pride and joy living in this vibrant community as it wills to create harmony for career and personal lives of active families.

Marissa is the latest big winner of “Piling Lucky,” which also named its first millionaire on February 14 when a contestant, Ryan, won the P1.1 million jackpot prize.

Amidst the issue of the network, these six Kapamilya celebrities once again strengthened their ties with ABS-CBN after inking their respective network contracts recently.

The lineup of Kapamilya stars was led by singer-songwriter Ogie Alcasid, who signed his two-year contract with the network. Besides his regular appearance in the “ASAP Natin ‘To” stage, Ogie is also set to appear in another season of “Your Face Sounds Familiar” this year. Also renewing his contract as an ABS-CBN artist is “Pamilya Ko” actor JC De Vera. When asked about what his fans can expect from him this year, JC answered, “They can expect a more diverse, more well-rounded JC. I’ve done drama, action, and now I’m still doing comedy. For this new contract, I’m sure ABS-CBN will still give me more challenges, which I like.”

Meanwhile, actor-model Kit Thompson shared how thankful he is on signing his first-ever three-year exclusive contract with the Kapamilya network, describing himself as “privileged” for the opportunity.

If you missed the lovely KimXi love team, well you're in luck because "Love Thy Woman" is their  comeback to the teleserye scene. So, what is the story all about?

The Mondragons still filled with pain and motivated with revenge, the four Mondragons are preparing for the biggest war of their lives in the final week of the top-rating teleserye “Kadenang Ginto.” Expect more things to happen.


Daniela (Dimples Romana), still harboring on the idea that Romina (Beauty Gonzalez) took everything away from her, has become vindictive than ever after her husband Carlos (Adrian Alandy) died in her arms for defending her mortal enemy.

While Daniela is cooking up her plans, Romina is determined to prove that Daniela is the mastermind behind the threats against her and her family. However, with the menacing Hector (Joko Diaz) still scheming behind bars and a spy in their midst, Romina will have to fight tooth and nail to put a stop to her enemies.



Meanwhile, Cassie (Francine) is still in hiding to continue the charade of being dead, and Marga (Andrea)—twisted by her mother’s manipulations—has rejoined Daniela’s side and blames Romina for the death of her father. She will take matters into her own hands as she suspects that Cassie’s death was fake.


What plans does Daniela have under her sleeve, and what are Romina’s final moves? Will Cassie and Marga remain enemies until the end?

“Kadenang Ginto,” which has been airing for more than a year, has consistently topped its timeslot in terms of nationwide TV ratings and produced memes online. Its massive success has even gone international as it is currently airing in Myanmar and has also earned an Indonesian adaptation.
The series also spawned the hit teen quartet The Gold Squad, composed by stars Andrea, Francine, Seth Fedelin, and Kyle Echarri, who have recently launched their first digital movies on iWant and 1.8 million subscribers on their official YouTube channel.
