Naglabas muli ng isang mahabang post kahapon si Kris Aquino to update her followers sa kanyang current health condition.

The other day pa raw dapat niya ipo-post ang latest update sa lagay ng kalusugan niya pagkatapos ng isinagawang surgery noong August 20. Kaya lang, lagi raw siyang nakakatulog.

Ipinost ni Kris ang latest photos niya. May solo siya, meron ding kasama ang mga anak niya na sina Bimby at Josh, at kasama rin si King of Talk Boy Abunda.

Caption ni Kris: “I asked my team of doctors to please get my surgical procedures done before August 21. We started on August 20, 8:15 PM that was the time check I heard before ‘daddy Doc’ my anesthesiologist and my cousin-in-law, Dr. Nick (he’s an interventional cardiologist) started their work... I remember being transferred to another cardiac OR for my port-a-cath. And I was back in my room before 12 midnight (sorry Cinderella).

“While writing this happy tears are flowing, because I’m remembering how much our mom endured for us, she also had a port-a-cath surgically implanted, yet we never heard her complain, and she didn’t have a pain management doctor. I have an entire team of doctors, and my vascular surgeon, Dr. Lucban, did a great job (and Dr. Kash his senior resident/fellow while waking up from my anesthesia I said ‘Where’s the cutie pie doctor and can I now please have my DAIM.’ Coincidentally my brother Noy & I had the same favorite chocolate).

“You saw a lot of pics of Kuya Josh & Bimb (he’s the last pic wearing the protective outfit for people to get into the post-op recovery area), my sons are the reason I continue to endure. If I wasn’t their mama, matagal na po akong sumuko. It’s very difficult to be as brave as my dad & my mom because I know this is just the beginning of more aggressive treatment to keep me alive and get me to a point of remission.

“My doctors have the next 6 months while I’m in isolation to figure out the best treatment plan for someone with as many allergies to medicine, food and the environment... For me it’s rehabilitation physical therapy, resuming my love for cooking (I’m not allowed to be near the flame for more than a few minutes because it triggers my lupus, polymyositis, rheumatoid arthritis, and progressive systemic sclerosis flares) with an ‘assistant’ and another tutorial-based activity because one is never too old to continue stimulating the brain.

“I have a new hashtag to remind myself how much I owe all of you who continue praying for me. Thank you for your patience, support, and much appreciated LOVE. #labankris.”

For sure, natawa ang mga netizens sa sinabi ni Kris na paggising niya ay hinanap niya agad ang cutie pie doctor.

May asim pa si Kris niyan, ha?

Kunsabagay, hindi nga naman siya nawalan ng boyfriend sa gitna ng kalagayang kinakaharap.

Iba rin talaga ang isang Kris Aquino.

Aktres, nag-hotel daw nang mag-isa... Derek at Ellen, kalat na hiwalay na

Very touching ang picture ni Derek Ramsay kasama ang unica hija niya na naka-post sa kanyang Instagram (IG) lately.

Nakahiga sa kama si Derek at yakap ang anak na si Liana Del “Lili” Ramsay na natutulog habang nanonood sa telebisyon. Caption ni Derek: “The world disappears when she is in my arms (in love emoji).”

Nakyutan ang mga netizens sa picture ng mag-ama.

Sey ng mga nakakita…

“Sweet dad.”

“You’re in a lovely home.”

“Ka-cute sa mag-ama, buyag (sinasabi para ‘di mausog).”

S’yempre, hinahanap ng mga netizens si Ellen Adarna sa piktyur. Dahil hindi katabi ni Derek sa kama ang misis, nag-one-plus-one-equals-two na ang mga netizens na true ang tsismis na hiwalay na ang controversial couple.

Sey ng isang netizen, “No more Ellen! So sad! Sana maging okay pa kayo.”

Ipinagtanggol naman ng ibang netizens si Ellen. Sey nila, “Why assume? Maybe she’s the one taking the photo.”

“Bakit? Nag-away ba sila? Kung nag-away, normal lang naman ‘yun. ‘Di naman sila hiwalay, ah. Saan ba galing ‘yang fake news?”

May kumalat kasi na tsikang umalis ng bahay si Ellen at nag-stay sa isang hotel. And then, saka raw pumunta sa kanyang mga relatives.

May mga close kay Derek na tinanong namin kung true ang tsikang hiwalay na ang aktor sa misis niya. Pero hanggang sa isinusulat namin ang kolum na ito, nananatiling quiet ang source namin.

Sa comment section ay may ipinost si Derek about his life na keri niyang magkaroon ng tahimik na buhay dahil sa nakapag-ipon na siya nang bonggang-bongga.

Post ni Derek, “Or maybe I saved up and invested wisely so that I can afford to be with the people I love all the time?”

This is maybe the reason kaya hindi afraid si Derek Ramsay na makipaghiwalay kay Ellen Adarna na balitang-balita ang pagiging heredera sa Cebu.

KITANG-KITA ang happiness sa mukha ni Comedy Icon Roderick Paulate sa kabuuan ng Mudrasta: Ang Beking Ina (MABI) pagkatapos ng ginanap na special screening ng latest film niya last Monday. After naming mapanood ang Mudrasta during the special screening ay nagkaroon kami ng chance na makausap si Kuya Dick.

Nagbigay ng reaksiyon si Kuya Dick sa ibinigay na classification ng MTRCB na R-13.

“Okey lang,” bungad niya sa amin. 

Paliwanag niya, “Napabasa naman sa akin ‘yung rason nila. Unang-una, eh, wala tayong magagawa, ‘yung same-sex relationship siguro, ‘yun ang inaano nila. Pero at least, 13 pa lang, puwede na manood. Para sa akin, okey na rin ‘yun. Para sa akin, ha?”

Para kay Kuya Dick, una sa kailangang gawin para i-assure ang success ng Mudrasta sa takilya ay ang pagdarasal.

Pahayag ni Kuya Dick, “Pangalawa, I think doon naman sa response ng mga tao, I think may mga nag-aabang.

“In fact, alam mo, nagha-hang na ang messenger ko kasi ang dami talagang nag-aabang from different provinces. Na paano raw ba nila mapapanood.

“So, I think nakarating na sa kanila at marami ang nagsasabi na ‘We support you, inaabangan na namin.’ Buo kaming pamilya manonood.

“Sa akin lang, malaking pampalakas na ng loob ‘yun, ‘di ba? Tapos ‘yung mga views pa.

“For a while, nakakuha kami ng 9.3M views, ‘di ba? Eh, sabi ko, hatiin mo na lang ‘yung 9.3M views na gustong manood, ‘di ba, masaya na ‘yun? O, kontiin mo pa ‘yung 4M, gawin mo nang 2M, ‘di ba, kita pa rin?”

Sey pa ni Kuya Dick, sulit daw ang paghihintay nila ni Direk Julius Ruslin Alfonso na maipalabas ang Mudrasta. Worth it ang paghihintay?

“Oo, in His time talaga. Totoo talaga ‘yung God’s time. I mean, ‘pag guided ka, I think tine-test n’yan ang patience mo. ‘Yun pala, ‘pag ibinigay naman Niya sa ‘yo, buhos. ‘Yun ang paniniwala ko. And sometimes ‘pag ibinigay sa ‘yo ni Lord, mas higit pa sa hiningi mo,” diin niya.

Halakhakan at hagalpakan, iyan ang narinig sa SM North The Block Cinema 3 noong August 18, 2025, during the advance screening ng Mudrasta.

Among those who shared their joy after watching the film was veteran star Jackie Lou Blanco, na ibinahagi kung paano nagbalik ng alaala ang pelikula.

“Ang sarap kasi parang panahon namin. Very ‘80s. It’s a feel-good movie. You just sit, watch it and enjoy its simplicity. It’s nice. I haven’t watched a movie like this in a long time. It’s very nice of Roderick to do something like this again, which he’s so good at,” sabi ni Jackie Lou.

And here’s the best part, panoorin ang MABI ngayon at isama na ang buong barangay.

Special ticket prices make it even more sulit because at SM Malls, tickets start at P230 (provincial rate) and P275 (Metro Manila), while at Ayala Malls, tickets are P250 (provincial) and P275 (Metro Manila).

Pagbabahagi ni CreaZion Studios CEO RJ Agustin, “With Mudrasta: Ang Beking Ina, we hope our audience feels they can be part of the movement to bring back Filipino films by supporting projects like this. Through the collective effort of producers and viewers alike, we aim to revive the joy of going to the cinemas and experiencing diverse Filipino stories.”

With over 9.3 million views and counting on its trailer and clips online, plus the overwhelming love from the advance screening, one thing is clear: comedy is back, mga bakla, at wala nang makakapigil kay Mudrasta.

Mudrasta, Ang Beking Ina is now available nationwide starting August 20. Tara na!

Todo-thank you sa mga sumuporta sa kanya… LIZA, BOSES DAW NG MGA BATANG INAABUSO

Pinasalamatan ni Liza Soberano ang lahat ng nag-comment at nag-message sa kanya privately ng pagsuporta matapos niyang ibulgar ang mga nangyari sa kanya since she was 2 years old habang nasa Amerika, hanggang sa pag-amin sa hiwalayan nila ng kanyang on and off-screen partner na si Enrique Gil.

Idinaan ni Liza sa art card na ipinost niya sa Instagram (IG) kahapon ang kanyang pasasalamat at research na ginawa ukol sa mga batang Pilipino na namumuhay sa US tulad niya.

Nasa 100,000 mga kabataang Pinoy daw ang naitalang na-exploit sa prostitusyon at forced labor.

Sa Pilipinas daw nagmula ang isa sa may pinakamaraming batang ginagamit sa online sexual exploitation sa buong mundo.

Sabi ni Liza sa IG, “As an actress my job is to entertain. But as a public figure, my responsibility is to speak up on the things that matter, from a place that matters. All of me dreads sharing the most intimate parts of my soul, just for people to judge and diminish my experiences.

“But if I don’t speak up out of discomfort or fear, what chance does all the scared and voiceless women and children that are still in dangerous situations have? So it is a privilege and honor to be able to share my experiences so that even just one little girl out there can feel encouraged to speak up.

“So for anyone who needs to hear this, people may try to guilt you or shame you for speaking up. Don’t let them, only those with hardness in their hearts would discourage your voice. Cruel people will try to discredit your story, they’ll say you are exaggerating or being self-serving, don’t mind them. Only weak people would respond to stories of pain with doubt and interrogation.

“Worst of all, some will even try to exploit your story for their personal gain, responding to your pain with gossip and attention-seeking, making it a source of entertainment. They will hijack your hardships to seek attention and self-importance. Pay them no mind. Only those with no light of their own need to use the sadness of others as fuel for their egos.

“You will shine and they will fade away.”

Tila magiging adbokasiya ni Liza ang pagligtas sa mga batang Pinoy, hindi lamang sa mga naninirahan sa Amerika kundi sa buong mundo, batay sa inilagay niyang caption sa series of art card na ipinost niya sa IG kahapon.

Caption ni Liza, “Let’s make a stand together, fight together, and work together to create a safer and kinder world for each other. Bit by bit, let's make meaningful change and stop allowing the callous and greedy from driving our narrative.

“I’m humbled and honored to have been learning from some amazing mentors and excited to start sharing the meaningful work that is being done all over the world to advocate for women and children. To Save the Children PH for allowing me to speak on your behalf these past few years, to @diana_maoz and the Nomi Network for introducing me to a world of amazing people who are in the trenches fighting against injustice.

“To @hellosinae and the rest of her amazing team for showing by example how a woman-founded business can be built to thrive, succeed, and be leveraged to help girls from the foster care system who feel overlooked and forgotten.

“To @brandonsaito and @kristinchieko, and my church family who have shown me that the love of the Lord heals all, even the scars of the past. Let’s lead with kindness and love relentlessly. More to come soon. Thank you.”

Dahil diyan, mas dumami at humanga kay Liza ang mga netizens sa kanyang bagong misyon sa buhay.

Sabi ng isang netizen, “That’s what you call finding your purpose (clap & heart emoji). What a brave girl you are. Still kind but strong (prayer emoji).”

Nag-post din ng comment ang direktor ng movie nina Liza at Enrique na Alone/Together (A/T) na si Direk Antoinette Jadaone.

“@savethechildrenph Yes, that’s our girl,” pagmamalaki ni Direk Antoinette kay Liza Soberano.
