When netizens noticed Joshua Garcia reposted a TikTok video featuring highlights of Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial before the Senate, they collectively started yakking against the actor online. Uploaded 11 July, it showed compiled reels from the first three days of the impeachment hearing which carried prominent hashtags associated with Duterte and her supporters.

The TikTok reel titled My Favorite Highlights from Sara’s Impeachment Trial (Days 1–3), has amassed millions of views, making the actor a trending topic on X (formerly Twitter).

In the aftermath of the controversial TikTok reel came the backlash as the actor was torn to smithereens by bashers.

“Hahahaha it’s so funny and really arrogance (sic). Maybe Joshua thinks he can get by just looking good on TikTok LOL. There’s even an A-lister who just became a vlogger despite all his powerful fronting because there really aren’t any decent people in the DDS.”

“This should be canceled a long time ago because he’s a cheater, glad that it’s been exposed that this guy is true blue trash. Congrats Julia, you got away.”

“That’s just how it is. That’s you. Can’t escape JLC’s shadow. No identity of its own.”

“Congrats Joshua. You’ve been revealed, hahahaha. And bye. I wonder what ABS-CBN execs are thinking now.”

But there are those who chose to defend Garcia.

“Parang oa naman. This is democratic country may karapatan din naman sya mag express kung anong tingin nya, or sa point of view nya lang man... ang hirap talaga pag sikat andaming nasasabi, parang natatakot tuloy sila mamili ng mga choices nila dahil natakot na ma may marinig (It looks OA. This is a democratic country, he has the right to express what he thinks, or from his point of view...it’s hard if you’re popular they say many things, it’s like they’re afraid to make their choices because they are afraid to hear something).”

“I think hindi sya dapat natakot nang ma callout sya. In fact dapat panindigan nya yun (I think he should not be afraid to be called out. In fact, he should stand his ground). A healthy political environment is exercised when people have the choice to choose from who aligns on their views/values. Though subjective tayo in terms of credibility, track record, and accomplishments as always.”

Anyway, Garcia, probably out of fear of being subjected to cancel culture, reportedly unfollowed Vice President Sara Duterte on Instagram.

‘Someone, Someday’, a teleserye like no other

Watched two episodes of Dreamscape Entertainment’s latest teleserye, Someone, Someday, and realized that it is a multi-genre series that will offer an amalgam of emotions.

The two episodes already showed elements of revenge, hints of dual personalities and emotional instability.

It all started when groom-to-be JC de Vera deliberately stood up his bride-to-be Billy played by Kathryn Bernardo. On his wedding day, De Vera’s character, as discovered by Billy herself, tried to elope with his other inamorata.

Fast forward to three years after, Billy is now a successful CEO of a dating app and her male best friend played by James Reid is shown at his beck and call, much to the consternation of Reid’s girlfriend Daniela Stranner who played her character with characteristic aplomb.

Then, Billy was introduced to Maja Salvador who, it was later revealed, was Billy’s stalker.

Lamentably, Bernardo and Reid were not given exciting moments of love as their story revolves around friendship. But a hint was already obvious when Stranner articulated her jealousy over Bernardo and Reid’s friendship, mistaking it for a serious relationship.

Then, the series became a thriller of sort upon introduction of Salvador’s character. In her first scene, she already left a nuanced performance. Just see for yourself why.

As a series, Someone, Someday is not your usual fare as it encompasses so many genres.
