Miguel Padlan, son of Kris Aquino’s former boyfriend Dr. Mike Padlan, pleaded last month: “All we ask is that she does not spread stories that are untrue.”

“My father’s friends and patients know who he truly is, and they can attest to his character,” he added, trying to parry Aquino’s claim that Dr. Padlan was charging the Queen of Talk professional fees even when they were a couple.

In her Instagram post Wednesday, 2 April, Aquino addressed Miguel’s aria, saying: “Miguel, when I read what you wrote, instantly I reminded myself dapat

hindi pumatol ang nanay sa anak (a mother should never argue with a child).”

“Freedom of Speech should be upheld in a true DEMOCRACY,” she noted.

“I only defended my factual truth, because right now for me it matters,” she stressed.

“And I refuse for my dad & mom plus my brother in heaven to be discussing: ‘What happened to Kristina? She was accused of lying at pinabayaan na lang niya? Where’s the girl who always fought in the name of honor?’

That said, Aquino “took the time to respond to your statements directly.”

“Umasa pa rin ako (I am still hoping) that you didn’t know everything. So your statements came from not having seen the entire picture,” she said.

“I have receipts BUT why will I, in proving your allegations wrong, make people see who really is telling the truth. I did promise to be Mama Kris come what may,” she wrote.

Horse bites Maris Racal’s hair

Maris Racal had Kaila Estrada worried a bit as a horse was trying to bite the former’s hair in a short video taken during their taping for Incognito in Itogon, Benguet.

“Guys, can we cut? The horse is trying to bite Maris,” Estrada said in a video circulating on X (formerly Twitter).

 In the video, the horse can be seen biting Racal’s backpack.

“That last part was not Max and Gab, but Bettina and Irene Tiu hahaha I think the horse wasn’t trying to bite Maris, but was trying to bite the bag meron kasi siyang parang mga zipper handles hahaha pero ang cute... (it’s because it has zipper handles, but it’s cute). Astig nila dalawa ha walang arte2 (they’re so cool no hang-ups),” commented one guy.

“Hahhahaha natawa ako kay Maris kinakagat ng horse ang curly hair niya hahaha (I got amused at Maris, the horse was biting her curly hair),” another fan said.

Aside from her action scenes, fans admire Racal’s ability to speak Hiligaynon and Italian in the series.

Klarisse de Guzman admits being bisexual

Singer Klarisse de Guzman surprised everyone when she opened up being a member of the LGBT+ community.

She made the revelation Wednesday, 2 April, during Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition when house guest Michelle Dee asked the housemates about misconceptions about them.

The singer said she initially thought if she was ready to open up about her life if she joined PBB.

Mustering enough guts, she finally said: “Tingin ko ito na ‘yung time na sabihin sa inyo (I think this is the time to tell you) and to tell the world that I’m not straight.”

“I’m am bi,” she declared, revealing further that she has had a partner for four years now, Trina. 

On why she came out only now, the singer said: “Natatakot po akong ma-judge, natatakot po ako na baka hindi ako maintindihan ng ibang tao. Natatakot po ako na baka maapektuhan po ‘yung career ko (I was afraid that I’d be judged; afraid that people would not understand me; afraid that it would affect my career).
