Did Arjo Atayde skip quarantine protocols after testing positive for COVID during a shoot in Baguio?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Baguio is currently trending and all I can say for now is "sana all".

This Arjo Atayde "issue" does smell fishy.

If that was any ordinary citizen, they would've been admitted in a Baguio hospital, especially with symptoms like shortness of breath and fever, and not allowed out of the city - but he wasn't, and rushed to Manila.

Reeks of privilege tbh.

I've had friends who were stuck in other cities and had to be admitted for COVID in those cities because of quarantine policies - regardless of their pre-existing medical conditions.

Totoo nga naman - we're all in the same storm, but not in the same boats. The rich and the privileged always get away with paid PR sa lahat ng media at news. Sila na ang mga nasa ship.

Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong said he ordered an investigation on the alleged health protocol violations by a film crew after 10 of them tested positive for COVID-19.  

Did Arjo Atayde skip quarantine protocols after testing positive for COVID during a shoot in Baguio? 

Here’s the official statement from Feelmaking Productions which is owned by Atayde. 

Production Head of FeelMaking Productions Inc. issued this statement in response to the news that came out that Arjo Atayde left Baguio after testing positive in CoViD-19. Nine others tested positive and currently under quarantine. 

I don’t buy their reason that Arjo Atayde rushed to hospital in Manila from Baguio due to dyspnea (DOB) and hyperthermia (Pyrexia). The fact that he’s in serious condition, he should have been inpatient in a Baguio hospital. Either his PR is lying or reeks entitlement.

Also, was he transported in an ambulance? Coz if he did have those symptoms, he need medical attention while travelling long distance.

To a place where hospitalization is thru the roof and many patients were turned down due to COVID-19-dedicated beds being filled.

Kasi nung na-COVID with mild symptoms Yung friend ko, may kasama kaming medical personnel sa bus na nag-transport sa amin papuntang Laguna from Manila. At saka may escort na ambulansya para alam ng lahat na medical transport yung bus namin.

Dapat may HCW na kasama pag moderate to severe.

Double standard dahil artista. Its very clear na he and his team breached the health protocol. Difficulty in breathing pero naka biyahe to Manila? Bakit wala bang hospital sa Baguio? Irresponsable sila. Dagdag pasanin sa LGU.

Not yet elected yet doing a Koko Pimentel. Hindi makahinga but rushed from Baguio to Manila. Owns the production company yet left the rest of the crew in Baguio. Such sense of entitlement from a business owner & an aspiring public servant.

Arjo's real life girlfriend, Maine Mendoza, tried to send out the tweet below:

Was Maine there during the actual filming?! How does she know all of these things, personal knowledge, hearsay?. Or dahil nadinig niya sa Mayor na numero unong pasaway ng health protocols ng lungsod niya? Remember that maskless party with Tim Yap he attended with his wife. Whatever happened to that? Did he investigate himself? Course not. How about the volleyball team where 8 players tested positive while in lock in training? Oh let's not forget the overwhelmimg number of new cases a day. All of those have to be investigated. Just so you know, no one will be accused of favoring a high profile Covid patient over the rest of the "citizenry."  

It will be difficult to explain this to Aldub fans. It will be ridiculously useless to try to make them understand.. Hellll, they think Maine and all of us here don't understand strict protocol?! Wnat hole have they've been living under?!

 

Kahit anong angle pa yan, at kahit ano pang pagpapaliwanag niya, lumabag pa din siya sa protocol. Sana inisip niya mga taong maari niya pang nahawa. Sana all privileged!

Paano din yung nag drive sa kanya at mga toll perspnnel na dinaanan nila. Plus how sure are we na di sila nag cr or stop over during the entire long drive. Extensive contact tracing dapat mangyari.

Try to immerse yourself in the shoes of Baguio citizens who've been living with super strict protocol. And u will see why there is panic and anger

The mere news na may shooting pala sa Baguio, tapos hindi sila sumunod sa protocol. Worse, may 10 na nagpositive. Worst, it's more like tumakas siya at Parang inabandona yung production crew Niya na naiwan sa Baguio!

The privileged are caught breaking health protocols, yet no one gets charged for anything. 

Money talks and people continue to die. 

Di ba may issue rin ng health protocol violations si Mayor Magalong nung umattend sya ng party ni Tim Yap sa Baguio noon. So it’s a tie lang!!!

We still wish Arjo, and the rest of his crew, well. Though he must face the charges. Mayor Magalong cited the violations - failing to maintain a 'bubble'; not undertaking the required 'triage'; & not doing the monthly testing as mandated. Leaving the city was just one of the many breaches.

Madam Inutz withdraws her Star Image contract

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

After gaining online fame for her live selling videos, Madam Inutz — or Daisy Cabantog Lopez in real life —  signed a contract with a talent management agency called Star Image but then withdraws also.

Ayon sa sikat na online seller, ito ay matapos niyang kausapin ang pamilya at dahil na rin sa natatanggap na comments mula sa fans. 

Queen things. Good thing she did, obvious lang na makikisalok si agency habang trending pa siya.

Madam Inutz made the right decision na mag back out sa Star Image coz she deserves better. 

Big brain move coz she can fly high being solo. No one needs a problematic agency.

Madam Inutz instantly move out in Star Image Artist Management. Buti nalang trial card lang for 2 days ang contract ni Mamam Inutz haha lols right decision. Lol!

Buknoy and Gabo are no longer part of their management haha revamp daw sila for the better. 

GRABE YUNG ORGANIC REACH NI MADAM INUTZ!!!!! 1 MILLION IN LESS THAN AN HOUR???? Hope she’ll be able to get informed/educated on how to convert these monetarily.  Sobrang magiging big help to especially for to support her Mom and family.

Hindi man siya naka benta sa mga tumambay lang sa live selling Niya pero pinasikat naman nila siya.

Pero mas marami ka ring pinasaya,. 

Don't judge Madam Inutz from the way she talks, She's just doing her job as a daughter and to support her family. She's one of a kind and deserves a crown.

My wife bursted into laughter when I said out of nowhere “oh di bhaaahh” ala Madam Inutz. She is a mood lifter!

I can listen to Madam Inutz cursing all day. 

Whenever I watch Madam Inutz' Facebook videos, I think of Ethel Booba minus the explicit words. 

OMG! The real deal Ethel Booba! 

Para silang pinagbiyak na bunga.

I remember her naman for saying "pasaway" lalo na nung napapanood ko siya sa Extra Challenge (damn, nahahalata yung age ko if naaalala ko pa yan)

Madam Inutz is more witty than Ethel Booba who is a fake comedienne. Remember when she pretended she owns a witty twitter account that wasn't hers. Ethel Booba is also a DDS.

God bless her good heart! My respect is with her. Sana marami pa tumulong sa kanya because she really deserves it. Just keep walking by faith. Praying for her mom's continuous healing.

You really have to find your niche if you wanna be a social media star..Dapat unique ka and may xfactor talaga.. Madam Inutz is most probably doing a pretty great job... Go go mga inutil! 

Now that Madam Inutz withdrawn from her contract let's support her and mag mine tayo! We know na kaya niya sumikat pa on her own! 

Totoo na kahit gaano kahirap talagang lahat gagawin natin para sa ating pamilya. 

"Na-overwhelm lang ako, wala tayong alam sa showbiz."

Madam Inutz pahingi naman po kami viewers HAHAHAHAHA char!

But then......

Jam Magno?! Same management ng kay Madam Inutz?? Oh no!!!

AXN Discovers Mesmerizing Talent During the Casting for Asia’s Got Talent

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Head spinning, death-defying, magical and breath-taking: aspiring stars emerged from all corners of Asia in May as AXN’s producers embarked on their search to discover the next generation of super stars for Asia’s Got Talent.

The leading entertainment giant held open auditions in six major cities including Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, the Philippines, Bangkok, Taipei and Jakarta. Over 5000 performers attended the auditions for their chance to take the spotlight on the world’s biggest talent show and for a shot at the grand prize of USD100,000 in cash.

Talented hopefuls could also apply via an online audition at AXN-Asia.com with some electing to do both to ensure maximum visibility in front of AXN’s producers.

“Asia’s Got Talent is the only series in the world that can unite such a culturally diverse region in a celebration of performing arts. We set out to discover the most inspiring talent of any age and with any dream, and we got all that and so much more.

“We were also struck by the richness of the personal stories that emerged during the auditions. Everyone has a story, and while the journeys may differ, the big dream remains the same,” said Virginia Lim, Senior Vice President and Head of Content, Production and Marketing, Sony Pictures Television Networks, Asia.

In the Singapore leg, one troupe of Malaysian acrobats queued from 4am; while in Manila, a father and son travelled overland for eight hours to perform a duet. Performers auditioned in the hope of winning the prize to help with family medical bills; while others, who came along as a support, decided to spontaneously audition on the spot.

“AXN is the home of original productions and Asia’s Got Talent continues our commitment to deliver premium content that engages and captivates our viewers with edge-of-your seat entertainment,” said Virginia.

The record-breaking series returns to AXN later this year, entertaining viewers with 10 episodes comprising five judges’ auditions, three semi-finals, the finale and the results show where the winner will be revealed.

Asia’s Got Talent is presented by official sponsor, Traveloka, the leading travel booking app.

Is Manny Pacquiao the Jar Jar Binks of Our Reality?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I've read somewhere that Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao is the Jar Jar Binks of our reality. Unfortunately, many also thinks he is not that naive.

Jar Jar did end up wasting his days as a "clown" in Theed, performing tricks for the children who'd pay him any attention...away from their parents who never forgave him for the suffering he'd caused.

Actually quite fitting, seeing as how "children" are now cheering on his antics, while more "mature" folk can only facepalm.

"Manny Pacquiao should stop opening his mouth for he has become a self-righteous, all-knowing faith-fool. Someone needs to remind him that he is no prophet and he's not running a blind gag show.

According to Ezekiel 13:3, New International Version, "This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing!" - Prim Paypon

Regardless, the jabber will still be a jabber because he has nothing to lose. He's already a billionaire and an established artist, maybe not as an experienced political figure (for he sucks big time) but he's already up there which others could only dream in their lifetime.

Pacquiao just showed the entire Philippines his unbecoming of a Christian. Removing a performer as chairman of a committee for the sake of politics is an example. He is a sick soul who is always in the church for absolution. Sadly, he is never healed.

Pacquiao's penchant for speaking out his mind without observing tact and the absence of etiquette will wreak havoc to a once decent hall of senate. Well, with the sitting president who is worst than a "kanto boy" without a trace of delicadeza. Rudeness is now an acceptable alternative behavior to decency.
