This is the amused reaction of Butch Francisco, a member of the Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino (MPP), regarding Jiro Manio’s sale of his Gawad Urian trophy to content creator and businessman Jayson Luzadas, better known as Boss Toyo of Pinoy Pawnstars. ‘I am happy for him. We’re glad to be of service.’

Jiro made history in the movie industry at the age of twelve when he became the youngest recipient of the Best Actor award at the twenty-seventh Gawad Urian in 2004. He won for his outstanding performance in ‘Magnifico,’ a film released in theaters on January 29, 2003.

Two decades after his Gawad Urian win, Jiro is back in the spotlight for selling his best actor trophy to Boss Toyo for PHP 75,000. Butch is amused by Jiro’s action and is pleased that the former child actor was able to sell the Gawad Urian trophy for a significant amount, jokingly suggesting, ‘If Boss Toyo wants, I can refer him to the maker of Gawad Urian trophies to save money.’

The PHP 75,000 is a significant help to Jiro, considering his journey through various challenges, including mental health issues and struggles with vices, since his early acting career. Jiro initially quoted Boss Toyo PHP 100,000 for the trophy, but they settled on PHP 75,000.

Boss Toyo plans to display Jiro’s acting award from the Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino in his museum. However, the trophy lacks the name of the young actor as he didn’t have it engraved.

During their conversation, it came to light that Jiro was unaware that the letter ‘M’ on the trophy signifies Manunuri. Moreover, Jiro might be ignorant of the stone used in the Gawad Urian trophy, which symbolizes the gold rating given by MPP members to actors and films honored.

Butch is not offended by Jiro’s sale of the Gawad Urian trophy, unlike the MPP members in 1981 when Johnny Delgado won best supporting actor for ‘Kakabakaba,’ and he was seen putting the trophy in his pants pocket. The MPP members were also hurt when director Ishmael Bernal placed the Best Screenplay Gawad Urian for ‘City After Dark’ on the floor after winning in 1981.

Many changes have occurred since 1981 to 2024, and MPP members may understand Jiro’s decision to sell his acting trophy due to financial necessity. The practice of selling awards by some award-giving bodies has been widespread among artists who believe that their talent fees will increase when they win awards. For the first time, a prestigious award-giving body like Gawad Urian is involved in the sale of an acting trophy due to Jiro’s actions.”

Fans of Sandara Park would agree that the global superstar looks as fresh as ever. Since her memorable Star Circle Quest win in 2004, it seems as if time has stood still for the 39-year-old sensation. With her fit physique and youthful glow, it’s natural to ask: what’s her self-care secret?

Light Diet

Despite her love for food, Sandara keeps it light with small, enjoyable portions. Sharing her food adventures on social media, she highlights her small appetite, allowing her to relish diverse dishes without fretting about weight gain.

For a guilt-free night out, Sandara wisely opts for low-calorie beer, ensuring a good time without the excess calories.

Active Lifestyle

Staying fit is crucial for Sandara. During her 2NE1 days, dance practices were central to their routine, focusing on cardio and boxing under YG Entertainment’s trainers. In solo pursuits, she continues to embrace dance.

Her dedication extends to daily cardio, a morning routine of an hour on an empty stomach, guided by a personal trainer. She caps it off with an impressive 400 sit-ups before bedtime.

Skincare Routine

Sandara is also often praised for her radiant skin. And it’s no secret that the singer maintains good skincare with a focus on hydration. Skin hydration helps promote skin elasticity, diminishing the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.

Since the news of Ronaldo’s passing spread, condolences have poured in on his Instagram account from admirers who can’t believe he is gone.

“Lolo Sir” became the customary term for Ronaldo among the younger generation due to his role in “2 Good 2 Be True,” the romantic-comedy series on the Kapamilya Channel starring Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla. It aired from May 16, 2022, to November 11, 2022.

Ronaldo was last seen in “Ikaw at Ako,” a film where he starred alongside Rhian Ramos, Paolo Contis, and Boots Anson Rodrigo, released exclusively on December 6, 2023.

There was no opportunity for the entertainment press to interview Ronaldo at the press conference of “Ikaw at Ako,” held at Viva Café on November 29, 2023, two days after his 77th birthday on November 27, as he did not attend.

Ronaldo began his acting career in the mid-60s, becoming known as a versatile actor capable of portraying almost every type of role, including protagonist, antagonist, and even gay roles.

Some of his recent projects include the film “Seven Sundays” (2017) and the television series “Ang Probinsyano.”

In a poignant Instagram post on Thursday, November 30, actress Kathryn Bernardo officially confirmed the news that fans of the beloved KathNiel loveteam had been anticipating for months—she and actor Daniel Padilla are no longer a couple.

Captioning an old photo of herself with Daniel, the 27-year-old actress declared, “Chapter closed,” expressing a desire for everyone to move forward. She added, “I won’t be entertaining questions regarding this anymore. Thank you for understanding.”

The post also featured a more extended statement from Kathryn, acknowledging the genuine and significant connection they shared. She shared, “What Deej and I had was real. It was never for show… These are 11 years that brought me joy, adventure, and the feeling of being home. He was my first boyfriend. I will always have love for him.”

Addressing their dedicated KathNiel fanbase directly, Kathryn empathized with their pain and urged them to join in the healing process, concluding with a resilient, “Kaya natin ‘to”

In a direct message to Daniel, she expressed gratitude, saying, “Deej, you gave me 11 beautiful years and the kind of love that I will forever cherish. I will always be grateful for you.”

Shortly after Kathryn’s post, Daniel responded with his own Instagram photo and statement, expressing gratitude for the shared experiences and acknowledging the challenges ahead. He affirmed, “Our lives may drift away, but our love will still ride that tide.”

Kathryn and Daniel, who first collaborated in the series Growing Up in 2011, have since become an iconic love team, starring in numerous successful projects, including the 2014 film She’s Dating the Gangster and the 2018 film The Hows of Us. Their most recent collaboration was the 2023 series 2 Good 2 Be True.

Despite the emotional farewell, fans can anticipate a reunion, as the pair is set to star in a new movie helmed by long-time directing partner Cathy Garcia-Molina, scheduled for release in 2024.

The 72nd edition of the international beauty pageant took place in El Salvador on November 19, 2023 (Philippine time), where Miss Nicaragua Sheynnis Palacios was crowned Miss Universe 2023. Michelle, representing the Philippines, made it to the Top 10.

Despite the outcome, Michelle still feels the love and support of her fellow countrymen, evident upon her return to the Philippines on Saturday, November 18.

In a recent interview on “Fast Talk With Boy Abunda” on November 26, Michelle had the opportunity to answer the final question posed to the Top 3 finalists—Miss Thailand Anntonia Porsild, Miss Australia Moraya Wilson, and Miss Nicaragua Sheynnis Palacios. Host Boy Abunda asked, “If you could live one year in another woman’s shoes, who would you choose and why?”

Michelle clarified that her answer was meant in good fun and not as a comparison to the responses of the other finalists. She chose Apo Whang-od, citing Whang-od as an incredible symbol of cultural preservation and ageism. Michelle emphasized the importance of defying boundaries and stereotypes, encouraging everyone to embrace their unique stories and traditions.

The interview also addressed the controversy surrounding a video involving Miss Universe Organization owner Anne Jakrajutatip allegedly dismissing Michelle. Michelle explained that she wasn’t feeling well that day and had already been sick since leaving El Salvador. She powered through the first segment, and when the organization learned about her condition, they escorted her out after the segment was finished.

Responding to Boy’s question about the “move on Thailand” statement made by Anne in another viral video, Michelle acknowledged the fans’ passion but emphasized the need for better execution and delivery of such statements. While Michelle believes there was no malicious intent, she suggests a more respectful approach to interactions with fans.

Since Michelle Dee didn’t had the opportunity to answer a question in the Miss Universe stage. She still got the chance in The Fast Talk With Boy Abunda stage.

Before answering, Michelle clarified that she had no intention of comparing her response to the answers given by the three Miss Universe finalists. She emphasized that it was all in good fun and that she didn’t mean to imply anything.

Boy asked Michelle the Miss Universe question:

“If I could choose in any woman’s shoes, it would be Apo Whang-od.

“She’s an amazing symbol of cultural preservation. She’s an amazing symbol of ageism.

“She has been defying boundaries, stereotypes.

“And that is something that I have tried to inspire everybody around me as well, which is to hone your unique story, own your traditions, love where you came from, love who you’re surrounded with.

“And truly, with that unique story, you can make your country proud, you can show the universe what your country has to offer and, in my case, my love for our country can really shake the whole universe as well.”

Upon her arrival, Michelle conveyed her gratitude to the fans who supported her, saying, “Thank you so much for coming here. It warms my heart. You know that I did everything… everything I could to fight for us. It’s a shame… really a shame, but everything that happens has a reason. I know we still have a lot to show to the whole world. We truly showed the Bayanihan spirit of the Philippines.”

While Michelle didn’t bring home the fifth Miss Universe crown for the Philippines, she emphasized the importance of making her fellow Filipinos proud. She mentioned, “My goal is really to make all of you proud, to represent our country as best as possible. You saw that we almost got all the special awards… That’s a testament to how prepared the Philippines was, to how much dedication, creativity, and passion we all showed the universe.”

Michelle expressed her appreciation for the special awards she received in the pageant, including the Fan Vote, Spirit of Carnival Award, and the recently announced Best in National Costume. Despite not winning Miss Congeniality, Michelle thanked fans who braved the rain to welcome her at the airport.

Addressing her supporters, Michelle stated, “Salamat. I love you all. I hope your support continues. Thank you very, very much.”

Michelle also touched on her friendship with Anntonia Porsild from Thailand, hinting at future encounters. “Both of us created such good friendships, as well as the other delegates. Of course, there are plans laid out. Just wait for it.”

As for what’s next, Michelle teased upcoming projects, stating, “A lot of things are in the works, crown or no crown. I know that we will all shine. I’m an actress, entrepreneur, philanthropist. I’ll continue all of that. Please follow my journey because… we really have so much in store. Just wait for it.”

Excited about her return to television, Michelle didn’t reveal details but promised an exciting project that is “very, very, very relatable” to her. Fans can anticipate more from Michelle Dee in the near future.

However, he is not a senator.
He often played golf at Wackwack and gambled at the casino at night in the white Escalade with the license plate 7, hehe!

Given that this affluent businessman appears to have a lot of foes, perhaps his Escalade vehicle is bulletproof. It’s not just that he is driving across the bus lane; his license plate is No. 7 and it’s also on Edsa.

There is no case if he used a white Escalade bulletproof car when he went golfing or going to the casino because he is rich.

He shouldn’t be using the special plate as he is not a senator nor a congressman, so why should he use plate number 7? That is the only error. If you are not employed by the government, specifically, you shouldn’t be utilizing a special license plate.

Would you like a Clue? Because there is a case against his citizenship, he is allegedly one of those who despises nature and is a false Pinoy.
He is the father of a politician who works for the government.

To help celebrate its 25^th anniversary in the retail industry, Puregold has decided to shine a spotlight on feel-good “panalo” stories that will inspire its loyal customers. These episodes were shared in a series of uplifting videos on Puregold’s official social media channels.

Among the stories depicted was that of Justin De Dios, who recently came into prominence as a member of the uber-popular PPop group, SB19. Justin may be the youngest in the lot but he’s an integral part of SB19, and has his own set of adoring fans. In fact, according to an online poll, Justin de Dios was ranked 3rd among the top Asian Celebrities of the Year.

It wasn’t always that way for Justin, though. As all aspiring artists will tell you, the road to stardom has numerous speed bumps. It’s an exhausting journey where rejection may await at every turn, and where each step one takes may be the moment that makes them want to quit.

Few things illustrate this better than the fact that at a young age, Justin worked on achieving a balance between school obligations and chasing after his dream. He was studying for his multimedia arts degree at the College of Saint Benilde when he began the rigorous singing and dancing training required of a PPop star.

At one point, Justin nearly gave up his studies to focus on his aspirations. His brother even once tweeted about Justin crying over such a tough call. But the young man persevered and eventually graduated with honors before moving on to SB19.

Now, the multifaceted Justin is known for his artistic spirit and creativity. Not only is he a singer for SB19, but he’s also done the creative direction for several of their music videos. He even won the PPop Male Main Visual of the Year at the 7th PPop Awards, showing the great skill he has as a creative visionary.

This past year, Justin, alongside the rest of SB19, even took their talents overseas. In September, they announced their first ever world tour. Following a series of successful dates in the Philippines, they spent the end of the year performing all over the world in cities like Dubai, New York, Los Angeles, and Singapore.

It is with great pride that Puregold presents Justin’s “panalo” story, while reaffirming that going after our passion takes hard work but it is all worth it in the end.
