Kathryn Bernardo and Mark Alcala’s identical shirts bring couple feels

Social media is not running out of couple stories about Kathryn Bernardo and Lucena Mayor Mark Alcala.

Rumored dates without any obvious resibo (receipt) came surfacing online, the latest of which was a private room dinner in a posh steak house. The only proof the Kapamilya actress was there was a group photo of Bernardo with the restaurant’s staff.

And now, eagle-eyed netizens noticed Bernardo and Alcala’s identical shirts — seemingly a couple shirt.

Bernardo wore a black shirt in her visit to a beauty clinic. That exact shirt, only white this time, was seen worn by Alcala in one of his social media posts.

Netizens can’t help but notice the two’s shirt of choice and they refuse to think that it was just a coincidence.

Mika Salamanca and Brent Manalo on a rumored date

In a last ditch effort to pick up whatever is left of the love team, fans tendered a dinner for Mika Salamanca and Brent Manalo recently.

The fans who called themselves “NangNongs of MikBrent,” posted on X (formerly Twitter) snaps of the simple yet meaningful dinner date for the two grand winners of Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition.

“A small pause from the noise, a warm space filled with good food and quiet moments that remind us why we choose to stay, support, and love. No matter what,” the group wrote in the caption.

“This wasn’t just a dinner. It was a gesture of care, encouragement and belief in the two people who continue to inspire us in their own ways. May this be a moment of rest, comfort and strength as they continue their journey together,” the group added, noting that they are “always here, always cheering, always choosing kindness.”

The group’s move came right on the heels of romance rumors between Salamanca and Will Ashley who were last seen vacationing in Hong Kong.

Why ‘Roja’ is on a roll

Now airing on ALLTV2 alongside A2Z, Kapamilya Channel and online, Roja is on a roll as it opens an action-packed new chapter with fresh characters and marks a show milestone for setting a new online viewership record on Tuesday (27 January).

The Kapamilya primetime series set its own all-time high record last night of 620,186 peak concurrent online viewers on Kapamilya Online Live on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube, the most subscribed YouTube media and entertainment channel in Southeast Asia.

ABS-CBN recently released an explosive “bagong yugto” (new chapter) trailer that gives viewers a glimpse of life-threatening challenges that Liam (Donny Pangilinan) and Olsen (Kyle Echarri) will have to overcome, especially since the hostage-takers added reinforcements and are now holding the victims captive at a hospital.

The crisis will also escalate with the addition of new characters played by Christian Vasquez, Iana Bernardez, Jeremiah Lisbo, Joel Molina, Mac Manicad, Miggy Campbell and Paolo Serrano.

In the current story, Roja may have just dropped another bombshell revelation after Greta (Lorna Tolentino), Liam’s mom, put clues together and is convinced that Liam and Olsen are actually brothers. Greta jumped to the conclusion after learning of her husband Magnus’ (Raymond Bagatsing) affair with her best friend Wendy (Janice De Belen). 

In the coming episodes, Liam, Olsen and Luna’s (Maymay Entrata) seemingly peaceful lives will turn chaotic once more as the hostage-takers set up a new game plan and challenge the police force by attacking the hospital where the victims of La Playa Roja are currently staying.

The leader of the hostage-takers, Emil (Joel Torre), along with his allies, are in full force to take their revenge on the Rojas, and they will do everything in their power to bring back the lost ransom money that they took from the hostages.
