Ibinahaging People's Champ na si Manny Pacquiao sa kanyang social media ang ilan sa mga piktyur niya kasama ang K-Pop star na si Sandara Park last Friday, October 14.

Pareho silang guests sa South Korea’s top variety show na Knowing Bros.

Makikitang suot ni Manny ang iconic outfit ng South Korean show at kasama niya ang asawang si Jinkee.

Naroroon si Manny at ilang kapamilya para sa kanilang bakasyon sa South Korea. Ang pagbabakasyon nina Manny ay bilang part of the boxer’s promotional activities for his upcoming exhibition match with Korean YouTuber DK Yoo which is slated to happen on December 11.

The Pambansang Krung-Krung commented how it was nice seeing Filipino faces in her home country.

“Sana nag-enjoy po kayo!!! It was really fun,” ani Sandara sa Pacquiao's entourage.

Hindi pa naa-announce kung kelan ipapalabas ang guesting ni Sen. Manny sa Knowing Bros. At may appearance rin siya sa South Korea’s longest-running variety show na Running Man.

Kung ang iba, nawalan ng trabaho… INIGO, NAGKA-CAREER SA HOLLYWOOD DAHIL SA PANDEMIC

Kung marami sa mga local celebrities natin ang nawalan ng trabaho sa showbiz nu'ng panahon ng COVID pandemic, ang anak naman ni Piolo Pascual na si Iñigo Pascual ay sa Hollywood pa nagkaroon ng career via the Hollywood series titled Monarch.

“Honestly, I’m not saying that the pandemic has been good, but in a way, I probably wouldn’t have been accepted in this project without the pandemic. Self-tapes happened during the pandemic and I landed this role through a self-tape,” masaya nitong pagbabahagi.

Masaya rin daw siya nang malaman that more Asians are being represented onscreen in Hollywood.

“It feels good. I’ve felt it for the past couple of years with all these artists, Olivia Rodrigo, Bruno Mars has been around for the longest time. It feels nice with the acceptance of the variety of ethnicities in the States.

“I feel like now you’re not limited to a certain stereotype no matter what your race is and it feels good to represent where you come from. I feel like we’re living in times wherein because of technology and because of the pandemic, it’s more open globally to represent where you come from and it’s not limited anymore to whatever background you have. And it feels good."

Ipinagmamalaki ni Iñigo na kumbaga'y inire-represent niya ang gaya niyang mga Pinoy dahil sa kanyang nakamit na pagkakataong magkaroon ng international project.

“Siguro, bawat araw na nasa set ako, surreal. Even now. I was even crying when we did a watch party. To see my family in America, not watching TFC, not watching ABS-CBN, and for them to be watching a channel that’s not Filipino-related was something na hindi ko inakala na mangyayari. And it feels good that just because I’m doing this, it doesn’t mean that I’m leaving my Filipino roots."

Ngayong tapos na ang taping nila ng first season ng Monarch, Iñigo revealed he is looking forward to working on more projects abroad in the near future.

Wala naman daw masama kung mangarap ng mas mataas pa.

“I’m currently auditioning for a couple of stuff actually dito sa States. Hindi lang ako puwede ma-lockdown sa isang long term project since we’re still waiting if we’re going to continue with season two. But of course we’re asking for your support na sana magkaroon ng season two.

But I’ve been auditioning for a couple of projects. I’ve been sending in my self-tapes and it feels good kasi marami na akong naririnig na mga kaibigan ko who have been sending their self-tapes. So I expect a lot of Filipino artists in Hollywood."

Nag-premiere nitong September 11 ang Monarch via FOX TV at sa iWantTFC app (iOS and Android) and website (iwanttfc.com). The series, which is distributed by Sony Pictures Television, is available for free for iWantTFC subscribers in the Philippines

'Di na raw magkasundo sa kaso vs. Vhong… ATTY. TOPACIO, NAGBITIW NA BILANG ABOGADO NI DENIECE

Sa report ng ABS-CBN News, hindi na raw ipagpapatuloy ni Atty. Ferdinand Topacio ang pagiging abogado o tagapagtanggol ni Deniece Cornejo sa kasong rape na isinampa nito laban sa It's Showtime host na si Vhong Navarro.

Ayon sa news reporter na si Nikko Baua, base sa panayam kay Atty. Topacio, nagbitiw na raw ito bilang abogado ni Deniece.

Ayon sa panayam nito kay Topacio, "I wish to state that I am henceforth dissociating and distancing myself from the prosecution of Mr. Ferdinand "Vhong" Navarro in the rape case filed by Ms. Deniece Cornejo against him.

"I have represented Ms. Cornejo as her counsel of record in the case of serious illegal detention against her filed by Mr. Navarro all these years upon the request of her family especially Mr. Rod Cornejo, a friend of mine of long standing until bail was granted to Ms. Cornejo and her co-accused, as affirmed by the Court of Appeals. I have also coordinated with Atty. Karen Jimeno in the filing of rape charges against Mr. Navarro.

"Our group, the Citizen's Crime Watch, has also taken the cudgels for Ms. Cornejo after the Court of Appeals ordered the filing of rape charges against Mr. Navarro. I have done all these in the interest of attaining justice for Ms. Cornejo before the courts. There are certain people, however, who are trying to take the case in a direction which I do not wish to pursue as an advocate.

"With the fundamental difference in managing the case, I cannot in good confidence and ethics continue to be part of the proceedings.

"We shall however, continue to assist Ms. Cornejo in other cases she wishes to bring against those who have caused her damages through scurrilous libel as she has manifested to me earlier, if she still so wishes.

"And the Citizen's Crime Watch will still continue with its offer to assist the others who may have been victimized by Mr. Navarro, in accordance with our bounden duty to help all victims of crime.

"We wish Ms. Cornejo all the best in her continued quest to seek and secure justice. My justice prevail this time at long last," bahagi ng statement ni Atty. Topacio.
