Vice Ganda, sablay ang unang sultada

By: Alwin Ignacio on July 28, 2020 / comment : 0 , , , , , , ,

Vice Ganda




After the State of the Nation Address from the man of the Palace, what happens next?

No idea on what he recited during the address because there were better counter programming offers that coincided with the speech. Preferred to watch my latest online fascination, the vlog collaborations of Benedict Cua and Mimiyuh which provided a lot of guffaw and kilig inducing moments. 

Happy ba si VG sa nzngyari sa Network niya
And did not bother to read the bullet points about it and all the opinions made after the recitation since we all know that such democratic expressions are futile anyway and those who continue to rally behind him, they couldn’t care less about all the political brouhaha for as long as their monthly stipend and social amelioration moolah come on time, walang kapantay ang pagmamahal nila sa Poong naka-upo.

Eh ang baklang nag-aambisyon at nag-iilusyon rin na maging poon of his own network, si Vice Ganda, kamusta naman kaya ang pakiramdam at pakiwari? Ang sa Vice Ganda Network, hindi lang sumablay ang una nitong pasabog, supot ang una nitong papatok.

Hindi pa pala talaga sila handang umere at super lame ang excuse na “technical difficulties” ang tinututurong dahilan kaya ang Little Ponies niyang busog na busog at pinalaki niya sa kanyang balahurang manner of pagpapatawa at hosting style na alam naman nating hindi of international standards at parang pang-sing along bar lang ang mga kaganapan. Nganga sa pag-aabang. Beh! Buti nga sa inyong lahat.

Sino ba kasi ang umuto kay Vice at binigyang ilusyon ang baklang nagkaka-itsura lamang dahil sa kanyang magagarang peluka at tunay na karakas na tinatago sa makapal na make up ay pwedeng magpatakbo ng isang network? Does he even have the experience and expertise of a Charo Santos? The respectability and the family background of a Carlo Katigbak? The media savvy and the knowhow what shows to acquire like a Lauren Dyogi? Does he even have they eye of who could be a “star” and who hss the potential to be an “actor” like Johnny Manahan?

Anong bago ang ihahain niya?

Kung no, nada at nay ang sagot niyo sa mga tanong, kung may investors man si Jose Marie Viceral sa kanyang network, hindsi ba kayo nag-aalala na baka malusaw lamang ang inyong ibinigay na capital lalo na nga’t pambungad na telecast pa lamang, pumalpak with a capital P and the lamest excuse talaga na “technical difficulty” ang may sala. Kung hindi pala “secure” at “sound”ang connection capacity para sila ay ma-broadcast, bakit tila minamadali na mailunsad ang network kuning-kuning?

Asan ang clamor? Meron ba? Kung meron man baka sila-sila lang ang nakaka-alam, hindi ba naman?

And please, pray tell, ano ba naman ang originality at pagkakaiba ng “Gabing-gabi na Vice” sa “Gandang Gabi Vice?” as a flagship program and the network’s carrier show? Alam naman natin what happened to the last remaining season of GGV, eat your dust na ito ratings wise sa “The Boobay and Tekla Show” tapos newly minted network supposedly ang pambungad na alay, BAGONG LUMA NA PALABAS?

Hay naku, more BL shows please na lang kesa patulan ang network na alam naman nating doomed na agad-agad. Hindi pa ba indikasyon na hindi off to a good start at will not bear good fruit ang kiyeme latik na “network” na ito? If Vice Ganda wants his public to believe na is “serious” this time. TAKE OF THE WIG AND THE MAKE UP, at be behind the camera and offer program content na out of the box and revolutionary. Ang tanong, kaya niya ba?

Cesar, Robin, Alfred at Paulo, mga bayaning 3rd World

By: Alwin Ignacio on July 24, 2020 / comment : 0 , , , , , , ,

Paulo Avelino, Alfred Vargas, Cesar Montano and Robin Padilla



 When this Divalicious column appears online, we already know that those afflicted by the COVID-19 affliction may have reached the 70K mark and maybe even more. With these digits, we have become the number one nation in Southeast Asia with the most pisting veerus cases. 

Must we be delirious of this so called feat? Should we be all going crazy and paranoid, fearful of our lives and the once we love because these figures are more than alarming, it shouts end of days?

Are there rooms and spaces in our collective hearts and minds to still trust the best and the brightest in the gobiyerno nacional that they still are on top of this game called a pandemic and they still know what to do, what strings and ropes to pull and what solutions are in the must be implemented stage?

Kaya nga, hindi ko maiwasang maging nostalgic, and be filled with a huge of melancholia, habang inaalala ang mga pelikulang tungkol sa ating mga pambansang bayani na dugo at buhay ang inialay para sa Pilipinas nating mahal. 

Cesar Montano

Si Cesar Montano, bida sa Marilou Diaz Abaya’s Jose Rizal, the movie. Si Albert Martinez, Rizal sa Dapitan na obra naman ni Tikoy Aguiluz. Si Joel Torre, ang Jose Rizal sa Bayaning 3rd World ni reclusive film master Mike de Leon, Alam na nating ang kanser ng lipunan natin sa kasalukuyan ay talagang pagkalaki-laki nila, malban sa pagiging pambansang bayani, ano na nga ba ang political color at conviction nina Montano, Martinez at Torre? Bukas na aklat kung sino ang poon ni Cesar. 

Robin Padilla

Si Albert, wala tayong malay. Alam rin natin kung nasa kanino ang puso at simpatiya ni Joel.

Si Robin Padilla, naging si Andres Bonifacio sa Bonifacio: Unang Pangulo. Si Alfred Vargas, not once but twice na binigyag buhay si Gat Andres, sa Ang Paglilitis ni Andres Bonifacio ni the late film icon Mario ‘O Hara at sa Ang Supremo ni Richard Somes.


Sa kanilang mga political choice, hahayaan natin ang kasaysayan at panahon, ang humusga sa dalawang mabunying actor. Si John Arcilla, mas lalong nakilala at bumango ang pangalan bilang si Heneral Luna talaga namang isa sa pinag-usapan, minahal at yinakap na pelikula ni Jerrold Tarog. Mula rin sa imahinasyon, pagsasaliksik, sulat at dikreksyon ni direk Jerrold 
 
Paulo Avelino

ang Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral na ang bida, si Paulo Avelino. Si Arcilla, ang publiko alam kung sino at ano sinusuportahan, pagkiling at simpatiya. Kay Paulo, tikom ang bibig, tahimik at kahit sa kanyang social media platforms, walang mababasang salita o paglalahad tungkol sa kanyang damdamin at opinyong politikal at usaping pambansa. Nasa demokrasya naman tayo kaya wala tayong finger-pointing at pagdidiin sa mga artistang ito na minsan sa kanilang mga karera at propesyon bilang artista, ay mahusay na binigyang buhay, kaluluwa, puso at damdamin ang ating history text book heroes. Kung bakit may ilan sa kanila ang tila hindi isinapuso at hindi tumimo sa kanilang pagkatao at pagkalalaki at pagiging mga lalaki ang mga ipinaglaban, mga naging hinaing at pangarap nina Gat Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio at iba pa, sila lamang ang may alam at kung ano man ang kanilang paliwanag at katwiran, ating tanggapin. Pero sa usaping ka-respe-respeto ba ang kanilang naging desisyon at pagpili, sa atin na lang ang paghuhukom na iyon. 

Anne, Anna, ang mga babae sa buhay ni Clint Bondad

By: Alwin Ignacio on July 22, 2020 / comment : 0 , , ,

Clint Bondad and Ann Valdez





It took the Man from the Palace to realize that indeed, the pisting veerus is the major culprit for all the economic, lifestyle and political woes of the Pilipinas nating mahal.

 Now that he acknowledges it, what happens next? What will be deemed as urgent by the poon and his minions? Change of the national airport’s name? Call for federalism? Creation of a department of culture? Classes in August even if there is no vaccine in sight? 

\Clint and Anna Vadez
Habang patuloy ang pag-ja-jack-en-poy with matching pitik-bulag ang the best and the brightest kung ano ang next big political drama, dalirutin muna natin ang maalindog na kababaihan na mala-gamo-gamo sa buhay na apoy at naglalagablab na si Clint Bondad.

First things first, ang short lived infamy of an earthy and dusky lady na kalaplapan ni Bondad in a titillating video na nag-circulate at pinanood of all na may crush means pagnanasa sa ex ni Ms. Universe 2018 Catriona Gray.

Ang babaeng kalaplapan ni Clint at ang team gurlis, hinahanting na siya. Ang kanyang ngalan ay Anna Valdez.

Model of a now defunct men’s magazine na ang tanging ambisyon ay patigasin ang mga natutulog na ugat ng mga kalalakihan at bold starlet wannabe pala ito, In fairness to the her, sexy with a capital S siya talaga. Kaya nga lang, sa biglaang tingin, aakalain mo talaga naging babae siya dahil sa hiwaga at advancement ng modern agham. No offense meant sa kapwa nating diwata at sirena, si Valdez kasi, mukhang bakla na kahit pa nga naging successful ang sexual reassignment hindi pwedeng ikubli ang mga sumpa ni Adan.

 Ang kanyang pasabog, totoo ang kanyang pagiging babae at pagkababae. May menstrual cycle. May matris, bahay bata, obaryong may itlog na pwedeng punlayan at maging baby. Walang dudang naging maingat sila ni Bondad kaya after the video that showed a sampling of their tryst, after nine months, walang umuha, Palakpakan para kay ate girl, Nagka-Clint Bondad German sausage experience siya, huh!

Si Anne Jakrajutatip, ang billionaire at network owner mula sa Bangkok ay isang berdaderang transwoman na siyang nag-aaruga kay Bondad. Kung si Valdez na tunay na babae ay pinagkakamalang tranny, ang tranny na si Anne, mula ulo hanggang paa, babaeng-babae talaga. Siya ay living proof na ang transwoman ay woman.

Nine months na ang binata na under her tender, loving, care. Ang may tumbling na may kasunod na split factor, per her IG posts, “sister” at ”brother” ang kanilang relasyon at turingan. Yes, you read it right. Hindi erotic. Mas lalong hindi romantic. At 100 percent platonic ang kanilang closeness, ayon iyan sa dramarama ni Anne. 

Happy sa status nila ng Thai Billonaire si Anne

Sa pahayag na sila ay “magkapatid”,umarko ang sangrekwang kilay. Ang bangs, non-existent man o mayroon talaga ang mga kakababaihan, lalong-lalo sa mga sangkabekihan, nagdabog in a major, major way. At yes, oh yes, sina Zaido at ang mga Pulis Pangkalawakan, tumili ng walang sound!

Ayaw paawat ang Ms. J, ang cryptic messages ni Bondad, hindi raw dapat maging cause of alarm and concern kasi nga he was just humoring himself and his followers.

Ay! Master of black comedy pala itong si Clint, ang taray. Sila lang pala ni Anna ang nakaka-intinditi sa mga paandar niya. Gullible pala tayong lahat. Hiyang-hiya naman ako sa mag-ate at kuyang ito, huh! Basbasan na natin si Anne at Clint, lalo na ang kanilang platonic relasyon. Kahit pa nga naisin nilang mag-go forth and multiply, alam nating BIOLOGICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. Dahil diyan, has been na si Clint Bondad after this.

Clint Bondad:Tuliro, windang at wasak dahil sa pag-ibig

By: Alwin Ignacio on July 19, 2020 / comment : 0 , , , , , ,

Clint Bondad

It made me laugh, really! As in guffaws galore that made most bellies, specially the majority tickled by the trending topic in a social media site.

And the subject of the hashtag? A high ranking government official whose mamma mia received the foulest cuss words. What happens next is more mind boggling as this HRGO requested the top investigating agency to run after the people who are expressing their words of discontent and disgust in social media that are all thrown at him. Is this a case of “balat sibuyas” or a witch hunt determined to proclaim this and that individual as scarlet people who sinned against him. Pare, sinaktan ang pride at pagkalalaki niya kaya ayan, nagsumbong and gusto kong ipakita who is boss? 

Clint, winasak ng pag-ibig

Hay naku, parang mas gugustuhin ukulan ng pansin ang mga nakaka-intrigang posts ni actor-model Clint Bondad, na formerly known as Catriona Gray’s ex-boyfriend.

Sa unang basa ko sa mga kuda at hanash ni Bondad sa kanyang Instagram Stories, parang hindi naman bothersome at dapat mag-worry dahil nga karapatan naman niyang i-express ang kanyang namamarkulyuong damdamin. At ano naman kung laging plain dark backgrounds ang ginagamit niya sa kanyang posts. Hayaan na natin siya sa trip niya dahil at first read, para namang he just had too much of whatever he takes kaya may hanash siya tungkol kay Buddha, Hell, being next level, controlling media, being a millionaire since 12, teaching ninjas how to drink peppermint tea, being a yogi, Keanu Reeves, John Wick at kung ano-ano pang habla na hindi mo ma-decipher kung totoo o sadyang fertile ang kanyang imahinasyon. 
Kapraningan o' di lang maka-move on?

 Obviously, he knows how to play with words, make images that stir the emotions of those who follow him. Sa totoo lang, kung bordering na kasi ang mga pinagsusulat niya sa parang hindi na “matino” at “nakakatakot,” that he needs serious intervention or psychological help, siguro naman ang immediate family niya and the closest friends, ang unang mag-re-reach out sa kanya. Sila ang mag-tatanong, sila ang mas may karapatang mag-aalala at mag-console, kumausap dahil they know him better. He is their family and blood, after all.

Yung post niya na gustong niyag maka-chat si Sam Milby, makatarungan lang na hindi na dapat patulan,


Clint and Catriona

Ang mga pangangana niya kay Catriona Gray na: “I have Zero allergies except Cats...Irony,” “Cat’s friends used to call me walking Google,” “P.S. I create Queens” and “I am virus in everyone’s head I am the Ex,” dapat hindi na rin patulan ni Ms. Universe 2018. Silence must be her best defense and no point in dignifying the words of her ex.



In time, Mr. Bondad must man up. If this is his way of exorcising his personal demons, in a very public manner like IG, let him be. Kung talagang minahal niya nga si Bb. Gray, hindi niya ito sisirain at mas lalong hindi niya ito sasaktan.

Kung ang purpose niya is to destroy the one he used to love, now we know why Catriona had to put an end to their relationship, if that is the real case. Let us just hope that those who know him well, will not turn a blind eye and look the other way ngayong may mga sinusulat at sinasabi niyang pwedeng ma-misconstrue. If this is a cry for help in disguise, sa mga Bondad at kaibigan niya, you know what is the next step. 



Jennylyn Mercado:Palaban ang Hanash at Kuda

By: Alwin Ignacio on July 17, 2020 / comment : 0 , , , , , ,

Jennylyn Mercado



 We are on the fourth month of the general community quarantine (GCQ) and yes, we all aware that its extension is up to the end of this month.
As we celebrate the 124th day of the pisting veerus that continues to unleash its wrath and havoc, getting fiercer and stronger, plus the political shenanigans that pop out like mushrooms on manure, do we still have the energy and heart to count our blessings and be thankful for what we have?

 Enough to make ends meet, merci. Sufficient supplies to last another day or so, gracias. Waking up to the chirping of the birds and smell of freshly brewed Batangas barako, salamat. Survivors of the game the gobiyerno nacional is playing, gamsahabnida. Kaya nga kesa madagdagan pa ang wrinkles at mag-open ang pores at manghinayang sa collagen-infused moisturizer at sun block, plus the unscented soap bar for sensitive skin kaya ang inyong Divalicious Showbiz Blah ay maintained ang glow, join na lang tayo sa pangangamusta at pagmamagandang ayon naman talaga sa kanyang ganda na ang may kuda at hanash, si Jennylyn Mercado.

Sa artista based reality show kung saan siya galing, si Jennylyn na lang ang last woman standing sa batch niya in terms of kasikatan at may kabogerang title na the Ultimate Star.

Si Mark Herras, supporting roles na ang ginagawa at hanggang ngayon, sa sayaw lang gumaling, sa pag-arte? Next question please. Si Yasmien Kurdy, naging maybahay, ina, nakapagtapos ng pag-aaral, naging one of the ka-Siyete reliables but no way near the estrella and stature of Mercado. Eh si Mr. Killer Smile Rainier Castillo? Killed na ang career.

Jennylyn, laban kung laban

Kaya, ngayong may hanash si Mercado na: “Kumusta na po kaya ang nagMañanita, ang senador na gumala, at ang blogger na nag mass gathering?” at ang karugtong pa ay: “Hindi sila punasa sa vibe test” ay! Stop, look and listen ang lahat, huh!

After Janine Gutierrez, Jasmine Curtis Smith, si Jennlyn ang pangatlong J mula sa Kamuning situated network na ayaw papigil at gigil na gigil sa kaganapan.

Sa true lang, hindi lahat eh naaliw sa pagmamaganda niya. May mga kumakana sa kanya sa Twitter na mag-STFU (shut the fuck up) na lang, pero ayaw niya talagang paawat :“Kelan naging mali ang ‘mangealam’ o speak out? Have you forgotten that one of our basic rights ay ang Kalayaan ng Pananalita? The moment you hinder someone from speaking their mind is the moment you failed to respect the rights of your fellow Filipino.”

Keber sa mga may ayaw sa stand niya sa isyu
Oh my, ang dream, believe and survive StarStruck first female victor! Mananalig na ba ako na she has the mastery na of expressing herself using the King’s language? Inglisera na siya!

Ang pinaka-bet kung pagpatol ni Mercado, ang sagot niya sa: “Better maging neutral ka na lang para iwas bashing. At the end of the day ur not kapamilya star.”


Gusto kong manalig na essence of being a woman ni Sushmita Sen, ang pagiging confidently beautiful ni Pia Wurtzbach at ang silver lining eme ni Catriona Gray, lumevel ang reply ni Jen na: “But I am a Filipino and that alone is enough. To be neutral or silent in times of injustice is injustice. If being ‘bashed’ is a small price to pay for practicing my right to freedom of speech, then I am fine with it.”

Slow clap for you Jennylyn Mercado, it’s you na already!

Gretchen, Vivian at Isabel, mga Rosas sa Pandemya

By: Alwin Ignacio on July 16, 2020 / comment : 0 , , , , , ,

Isbel Rivas, Gretchen Barretto an Vivisn Velez



It was not the usual drizzle when this Showbiz Blah columnist wrote my Divaiclious. It was a rainy and wet day. Loving the smell of the air, it seemed fresh and unpolluted. And as always, the pitter-patter sound of the rain dropping on my home’s rooftop, made me more contemplative.

Rains free my mind from the clutter. It calms the heart from all the anxieties and uncertainties that are held at bay. Soothes the spirit from its continuous spinning, stirring and twirling. 


Kaya nga, hindi ko maiwasang mapansin ang tatlong seasoned rosas in full blooming or wilting nga ba ngayong pandemya season, sina Gretchen Barretto, Vivian Velez, and Isabel Rivas. Ano ang common denominator of these trois femme matures? Lahat sila were sexy stars of yore.

Of course, hindi na ako nagtataka kung pinangangalandakan ni La Barretto na siya ang pro-Duterte supporter at pangmalakasang tinanggi ang sinasabi niyang fake social media account. We all know ang babaing hindi na gumagalaw ang mukha loves to be in the limelight and being controversial, iyan yata ang gusto niyang mastery sa buhay.

Nasa demokrasya naman tayo kayo kung maligaya siya sa pagiging rah-rah girl of the poon sa palasyo when majority of the denizens are revolted by the leader of the gobiyero nacional, so be it! Huwag na patulan pa ang babaing ang mga pelikula ay pawang skin flicks at kahit kailan, hindi nakilala bilang mahusay na aktres. Kaya kahit naghuhumiga siya sa yaman at rangya, her biggest validation na hirangin siyang “aktres” just like her kasabayang si Dawn Zulueta, ay never mangyayari dahil hamonada siya of the Excellente order pagdating sa pag-arte. 

Isabel, maanghang din ang hanash laban kay Vivian

 Not wanting to pollute my column with her vitriol, pakihanap niyo na lang sa suki niyong search engine kung ano ang kuda at hanash ni Vivian Velez matapos mangyari na hindi binigyang prangkisa ang isang istasyon.

Ang axe to grind you against the former network grabehan, Anor in ang dahilan kung bakit may drama siyang babangon ako at dudurugin kita para sa dating istasyon sa Mother Ignacia? Paki-personal message na lamang si Cristine Reyes.

Ang hindi ko kinaya sa kanyang posts, eh pag-quote ng bible quotes to solidify her posts. Drama-drama ka na may kaalaman ka sa mga bagay na “biblical” tapos you find it in your heart na magbunyi na 11,000 plus people ang naidagdag sa ballooning population of jobless and the unemployed? Ang ganitong klaseng bible-quoting ka-ipokritahan, hindi dapat pinalalagpas, at dapat pinamumukha sa nagsabi na hiyang-hiya naman ako sa relasyon mo sa Panginoon at ganyan ka umasta at mag-inarte. Ano pa ba naman ang aasahan mo sa ibang babaeng ang tanging claim to infamy lang naman ay ang back to back titles niyang Body Beautiful and the original Betamax Queen.

Sa trio, pinaka-panalo na ang pagmamaganda ni Rivas whose wrath is directed sa kasalukuyang Film Academy of the Philippines head. 

Vivian-isabel: Bangayan ng mga rosas ng pandemya

Ano ang sinabi ni Ms. Rivas kay Ms. Velez sa kanyang Facebook account? Naka-public naman ito kaya madali niyong mahahanap at masasaliksik. Ang masasabi ko lang, ang subject of her rage and vitriol, sobrang deserving.

Barretto, Rivas and Velez belong to a generation of nymphets na hindi pa salamat po doctor, magaganda talaga at talagang maraming barako ang sila ay hinangaan, pinantasya at pinagnasaan.

What happened between their hubadera days up to now, chronicled and documented na lahat, what with all the available search engines and movie platfroms give you a sample of their body of work as artists.

Kaya, nasa inyo na kung gusto niyong gawing aspiration ang mga buhay nila at inspirasyon ang kanilang diskarte bilang mga babae.

Basta in my book, siguradong ekis si La Barretto at si La Bombera Velez. Si La Rivas, amuses. Yun lang.
