Ogie Diaz Believes Fyang Smith Is Authentic, But Too Much of It May Backfire
$ads={1}
Veteran showbiz personality Ogie Diaz shared his thoughts on Fyang Smith, the Gen 11 Pinoy Big Brother Big Winner, during an interview on YouLol—and while he praised her genuine personality, he also cautioned about going overboard.
“Si Fyang Smith, yung big winner ng Gen 11 PBB… Paglabas niya, bitbit pa rin niya 'yung totoong ugali niya,” Ogie noted.
$ads={2}
According to him, Fyang’s actions post-PBB have drawn mixed reactions, including:
"Paglabas 'di ba? Na riyan si Pops Fernandez hindi niya kilala. Kaya sabi ni ni Martin, "Where did you get this girl?"
Pangalawa, 'yung may humarang sa kanya na na isang martial. Tinapik niyang ganun, hinampas niya kasi nakaharang sa dadaanan niya.
'Yung pangatlo, 'yung kumakanta sila ni JM, 'yung ka-love team niya na na dinadangkal niya 'yung bandang ibaba.
Tapos 'yung si Dingdong Bahan, 'yung housemate niya doon sa PBB, dinidilaan niya 'yung ano.
Tapos 'yung sinasabi niyang walang walang makakatalo sa Gen 11. Kahit ilang batch pang dumating. 'Di ba? Breaking."
Despite all this, Ogie still sees the value in her realness:
“Gusto ko siyang i-appreciate kasi nagiging totoo siya. Pero too much of pagpapakatotoo is bad,” he added.
While Fyang’s unapologetic behavior has earned her both praise and criticism, Ogie’s comment brings a reminder: in the world of showbiz, authenticity is refreshing—but balance is still key.

Joseph Marco’s Small Act of Kindness Goes Viral Amid Typhoon
$ads={1}
Amid heavy rains in Metro Manila, actor Joseph Marco warmed hearts across the internet with a heartfelt gesture—rescuing a tiny stray kitten found alone on the street. The actor documented the entire experience in a series of emotional clips, showing him gently picking up the drenched kitten, bringing it home, and caring for it with tenderness.
In his social media post, Joseph expressed how the unplanned moment turned into something meaningful. He admitted he wasn’t planning to adopt any more animals, but something about seeing the helpless kitten in the rain moved him deeply. He wrote that when life brings a soul like that in your path, “you don’t turn away.”
$ads={2}
The video, which showed Joseph feeding, cuddling, and even giving the kitten a kiss, quickly went viral. Netizens praised him for his compassion, calling his actions a powerful reminder that kindness—even the smallest act—can mean the world to someone in need, whether human or animal.

Kapuso actor Paolo Contis has chosen to respond with calm restraint following the controversial statement made by his former partner, Yen Santos. After Yen described their past relationship as a “nightmare” and apologized to those she may have hurt, Paolo responded briefly but meaningfully.
$ads={1}
In a report by entertainment columnist Gorgy Rula for Pilipino Star Ngayon, Paolo reportedly said only one word when asked about Yen’s tell-all vlog: “Hamona!”—a colloquial expression meaning “Let it be.” According to Rula, Paolo will no longer issue any further statements—not out of lack of words, but simply because he doesn’t want to prolong the issue.
Rula also noted that while Yen had her own traumas even before their relationship began, Paolo also endured struggles—especially with constant scrutiny on social media. The actor, however, reportedly does not regret being with Yen, seeing it instead as a chapter of love and life.
$ads={2}
The former couple’s relationship had long been a topic of public interest. Their closeness came under the spotlight in 2021, shortly after Paolo’s split with former partner LJ Reyes was confirmed. Photos and videos of Paolo and Yen spotted together in Baguio soon surfaced, sparking intense public reaction. Both were heavily criticized, with Yen taking the brunt of the backlash.
In 2025, however, Yen has begun shedding light on her past through her own words. In a YouTube vlog, she called the end of their relationship a “blessing” and described it as waking up from a nightmare—without directly naming Paolo, though the implication was clear.
Paolo Contis, a veteran GMA actor, has been in the industry since his child star days on ABS-CBN. Known for his range in both drama and comedy, his personal life—especially his high-profile relationships with LJ Reyes and later Yen Santos—has kept him a constant subject in entertainment headlines. Yen, meanwhile, gained recognition for her acting projects such as A Faraway Land, where her connection with Paolo reportedly began.

$ads={1}
In an interview on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” Esnyr shared:
“Tito Boy, to be honest talaga, it hurts. Like, it hurt me talaga. And I think it's okay because it is human to feel hurt, lalo na ‘yung hindi na-meet ‘yung expectations mo.”
He continued:
“Kasi po, siguro hindi siya by pride pero out of these housemates po na naging kasama ko at naka-share ako ng mga meaningful moments together po talaga.

Tito Boy expressed his sympathy:
“I felt, well, not just that I feel you, pero I was disappointed for you. I mean, maybe because it's a special connection, because we belong to the LGBT community. Parang, mahal na mahal naman si Esnyr, ‘di ba?”
Esnyr admitted he thought Shuvee Etrata would pick him:
“Opo. Kasi same din with Shuvee na may common ground kami, same kami na Bisaya. At saka, nagiging close na rin po kami sa bahay. Of course, na-sad po ako.”
However, he understood her decision:
“Nag-sorry po talaga siya. Lalo na po sa mga letter, nagsa-sorry siya. Sabi ko sa kaniya, ‘Hindi mo naman kailangan mag-sorry, ate, kasi ‘pag ako din 'yung nasa posisyon, mahihirapan din po talaga ako kung sino ang pipiliin ko.’”
Esnyr described Shuvee as his “super bestie” after PBB.
Meanwhile, Charlie reaffirmed her choice:
“I would say it time and time again, pero siya po talaga ‘yung first choice ko.”
