Actors and former Pinoy Big Brother housemates McCoy de Leon and Elisse Joson officially announced their decision to go on their separate ways.

Elisse and McCoy started their love story inside the PBB House. There love brought to the world their one and only child baby Felize.

On Instagram, Elisse posted the following:

My biggest dream in life has always been to build a family I could call mine. A home. That dream shaped us. It grounded us. And for all the beautiful five years (and more) that we were together, we held onto that dream with everything we had. We made that promise..to love, to fight, to stay.

And truthfully, we both tried. We both held on for as long as we could. But now, we’re learning to let go.

Together, we’re releasing that dream… so we can finally allow a new kind of peace, growth, and healing to enter. And letting go doesn’t mean we failed. Because what we had was real. And it gave us the greatest gift..

Our Felize.

There are moments when she wraps her arms around us and says, “My family belongs to me.” And she will always be right.

No matter how life changes, we will always belong to her. Her mommy. Her daddy. Her family. That will never ever change. We’re sharing this to honor what was.

To give space for healing.. for both of us and for the lives we’re choosing from here on.

No need for speculations, no assumptions. This wasn’t easy for either of us. We simply ask for kindness and respect as this story, and how it’s remembered, may one day shape what our daughter believes about love, family, and letting go.

Thank you for holding space for our story. This is us, stepping into a new chapter with love, respect, and no regrets.

—Mccoy & Elisse

Actress and TV host Kris Aquino obviously misses interacting with her fans after being diagnosed with an autoimmune illness. After falling ill, Kris had to stop all her hosting and showbiz responsibilities to focus on her wellness.

Be that as it may, Kris had a bright idea to reconnect with her fans—why not do an online Q&A?

On Instagram, Kris invited her fans and followers to join an online Q&A and get to know her family, the challenges they are going through, and how those challenges have changed them.

“Let’s have fun. Bimb will soon take over my IG (with me checking before he posts). Get to know us because we are very different people now.

At 11PM, we’ll answer the questions we find intriguing and worth answering. Walang bastusan, please?”

“Yan naman. Kaya ako kinakainisan ng tao at kaya rin nila ako minamahal kasi napakaprangka ko. I’m not Dina Bonnevie if I’m not honest. Prangka ako. Wala akong magagawa,” said Dina.

Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao and WBC champion Mario Barrios ended their bout in a majority draw, which means Barrios retains his belt as champion.

When a boxing match is ruled a majority draw, it means that two of the three judges scored the fight as a draw, while the third judge had one fighter winning.

One judge scored it 115–113 for Barrios, while the other two judges scored it 114–114, resulting in a draw.

It was a tough fight for both men as they gave their best to outbox each other.

Boxing fans took their hats off to Manny—despite being 46 years old, he managed to go the distance against a younger opponent.

Manny said he is open to a rematch against Barrios.

Talent manager and content creator Ogie Diaz gave some advise to Awra Briguela with regards to people addressing Awra with male pronouns.

Ogie told Awra to simply ignore when people say he/his/him/bro and not she/her/sis.”

Ogie had this to say:

“Wag na sanang patulan ni Awra yung umookray sa kanya na he/his/him/bro siya at hindi she/her/sis,”

Di bale sana kung ito ang magbabayad ng tuition fee niya sa college… okay lang na patulan niya for 4 years hanggang sa matapos niya ang college

You should choose your battles. And always remember: you really cannot please everybody.”

Actress and TV host Kris Aquino is looking a lot better after she gained an additional 30lbs since she moved to a private resort for her recovery.

Kris is suffering from autoimmune illness.

According to her good friend Dindo M. Balares, Kris shared with him that her lowest weight was at 82lbs but now she weighs 132lbs. Although Kris said her arms and legs below her knees are still skinny.

Here is the post of Dindo on his Facebook page:

“LOVE NOURISHES AND HEALS

Marami ng nagpapadala ng private messages at nagtatanong kung Photoshopped lang ba ang pictures na ito ni Kris Aquino at kung totoong ito na ang appearance niya ngayon.

Totoo at genuine po ito. Kuha ng kanyang kaibigan na si Ms. Jing three weeks ago habang nandodoon din ako sa private resort na kinaroroonan ni Kris.

Pero unang-una, at ang pinakamahalaga muna, MULA SA PUSONG PASASALAMAT PO sa lahat na nagmamahal, nagmamalasakit, at patuloy na nagdarasal para sa panunumbalik ng kalusugan ni Kris.

When we pray, miracles happen — proof si Krisy. Love nourishes and heals.

Malayung-malayo pa, pero unti-unti nang nakakabawi ang kanyang katawan at timbang.

Hirap na hirap, nakita ko mismo, at narinig na mahinang sinasabing, “I really hate being dependent” dahil kailangan siyang alalayan kung gustong bumangon o dapat kargahin papunta sa comfort room, pero tinitiis niya.

Maraming beses na siyang bumagsak sa sahig at sa loob ng banyo, dahil inaakala niyang kayang-kaya na, pero hindi pa pala.

Mabagal man ang mga resulta, tama ang desisyon niyang umiwas muna sa big city at manirahan sa tabing-dagat para lumanghap ng sariwang hangin.

Una naming napansin sa pamamakbak ng kanyang balat.

“May regeneration of skin, Krisy,” sabi ko sa kanya. “Ibig sabihin, may regeneration of cells din maging sa loob ng katawan mo.”

Last January, ang pinakamababa niyang timbang.

“Eighty-two (82 lbs) was my lowest,” kuwento ni Kris habang magka-chat kami kahapon. “Today i am 112. But kuya Dindo my arms and legs below my knees are still skinny- the weight is in my thighs. My arms are also still thin.

“The other night before Bimb arrived, hindi kinaya ni nurse Elle, bumigay my knees- i said- it’s okay just don’t let me land on my knees. So i fell slowly on my behind because she was still holding my back.

“No gana to eat today,” sabi pa niya.

Galing sa pinakamababang 82 lbs, 112 lbs na siya sa kasalukuyan.

Marami pa akong kuwento, pero ito po muna sa ngayon.”

Multi-awarded actress Dina Bonnevie shared her observations about today’s young and upcoming artists in the entertainment industry. She noted that many of them look alike.

During the press conference of her new show “House of D,” Dina shared her thoughts on new talents.

“Kaya minsan kapag tiningnan mo, pare-pareho na yung mukha nila, eh. Parang iisa lang ba ang doctor nito? Nakakalito. Magkamukha nga sila.” said Dina.

“It’s true!” hindi raw knows ngayon kung wannabe ba ang young star or sadyang pinapagaya sa doktor na nage-enhance sa kanila na gayahin ang mukha ng kanilang idolo.” Dina added.

“Sabi ko, bakit noong panahon namin, either maganda ka, artista ka. Or pinabili ka ng suka, artista ka, komedyante ka.E, ngayon, kahit ubod ka ng ‘shongs,’ puwede ka na.” she continued.

“Bakit kasi pare-pareho ang mga mukha nila?’ Baka naman pare-pareho ang makeup artist o pare-pareho ‘yung doktor. You’ll be surprised naman kasi pare-pareho sila ng cheekbones, pare-pareho sila ng ilong, pare-pareho ng chin augmentation,” added Dina.

“Ano ba ang nauuso ngayon? The before and after. Ayaw ko namang malagay sa before and after. Tingnan mo yung before and after ko, yun pa rin,” Dina said wth full confidence.

“Iba naman yung mukha ni Lorna sa akin. Iba naman ang mukha ni Snooky, ni Maricel. Kaya nga sabi ko, sa era namin, hindi uso yun. But now, tingnan mo, manood ka ng TV, Parang ito ba si ganyan? Di ba, yan yung bida ng ganyan?”” Dina said.

Matapos humingi ng public apology si Ate Cristy Fermin sa kanyang youtube channel, heto’t nagkita na sila sa korte kanina (July 08, 2025) para iurong ang kaso.

Sabi nga ni Ate Cristy, “Kung nakapanakit tayo ng kalooban, marunong naman tayong humingi ng tawad.”

Hindi naman sa korte lang lagi ang lugar para ipaglaban ang karapatan at katotohanan. Pwede namang mag-usap nang puso-sa-puso. Hanggang sa pairalin ang pagpapatawad. Lalo na kung meron namang nabuong relationship noong araw pa.

Thank you, Sen. Kiko Pangilinan and Mareng Mega. ”
