Nadine Lustre IG

Manila, Philippines – Usap-usapan ang ang larawan ni Nadine Lustre sa isang balcony na kung saan makikitang hindi siya nagpapaka-dalagang pilipina, at ito rin ang caption niya sa naturang post na kanyang sinabi na "I can't be who you want" ibig lang sabihin nito ay ayaw niya maging plastik sa iba at pati sa sarili niya ini-express lang niya kung ano siya at kung ano ang gusto niyang gawin.

Sa larawan kasi makikitang daring ang kanyang suot at naging dahilan naman ito kung bakit umani ito ng maraming komento sa mga netizens.

I can't be who you want.

A post shared by NL (@nadine) on Dec 25, 2019 at 2:01am PST

Narito naman ang reaksyon ng mga netezens:

• Ummm.. I dunno about changing image. But I see her just expressing what she feels about bagay bagays. Lol. Oh and that photo is grrrrr. Crush talaga! 🔥
• Does she mean na ganyan na talaga cya? Like ung clamor ng tao na ibalik ung shy and demure Nadine will never ever happen? Kasi who she is now, is the real her.
• The shy and demure Nadine was in her early 20s. That was like, what, five years ago? People change, kahit mga artista.
• pag tumatanda ang tao talagang nag iiba,di naman pwedeng lagi ka na lang inosente image
• yeah you can't be what we want because now you're what james wants.and thats even more pathetic that you would change for a boy.
• No need to be ashamed of being yourself. Don't ever trying to be what other people like. It will only torture ourselves. Gets mo ha?
• Ano namang nakakahiya, katawan naman nya yan and image. May K naman sya to do it. People change. But sadly, some people cant accept those changes that happens in life.
• Sya ba yang nasa pic? Mula ng naging sila ni James, nagpaseksi sya. What if this post is for James and not for the public?
• Nagsimula lang sya magkaganyan nung mag no. 1 sa FHM. Parang pinapatuyan na may K sya talaga maging sexiest blah blah
•  if that's the case, she's not going to get anywhere. Let's face it, hindi sya ung may body that can launch a successful career dito. Hindi rin sya pwede magrely sa face because she doesn't have a face that can launch a thousand ships as the saying goes. She would need a lot of talent and personality to be successful given her scant physical attributes. But she's erroneously taking the face and body route, naku wala na.
• I feel like she’s having a Hannah Montana to Miley Cyrus wrecking ball moment. Which is both bad and okay (to go through).
• yung totoo natutuwa kayo sa post ni Nadine Dito? Eh kyo nga before gigil kayo sa Ex ni James pag May ganyan siya post. L
• Daming holy people here.. dont like her act but still make time to talk about her haha
• Gawin nya gusto niya, magpakatotoo siya if it makes her happy. At the end of the day siya rin naman ang malulugi at mawawalan ng projecta at fans because projecting a ghetto girl-Kardashian wannanbe image to the public will never sell.

Batang may kapansanan na-ban sa preschool dahil baka katakutan daw ng mga classmates

Sofya Zakharova

Russia – Isa sa pinaka-challenging na mangyayari sa buhay ng isang tao ay ang maging magulang at kung paano nila haharapin ang pagiging magulang para sa safety, happiness, health, and success ng kanilang magiging anak. We all want things to be easy for our kids, but with how the world works, things aren’t always all sunshine and roses.

Ang mga magulang na ito sa Russia ay sobrang sumama ang loob ng mabalitaan nila na ang toddler nilang anak ay iba-ban na sa nursery school ng kanilang villagw. Bakit nga ba? Ang dahilan kasi ay may kapansanan ang kanilang anak na si Sofya Zakharova. Iba kasi itsura ni Sofya compare sa normal na tao dahil may pagka-deform ang skull niya at iba pang parte ng kanyang katawan. Pero gaya ng ibang bata kung kilala mo si Sofya ay isa siyang happy, intelligent, and sweet girl. However, the nursery managers believed that Sofya’s condition would “scare other kids,” despite her being an otherwise great candidate for their pre-k program. The only way she’d be admitted into the program is if she received cosmetic surgery.

Sofya Zakharova

Sofya Zakharova

Dahil nga hindi naman mayaman ang mga magulang ni Sofya, hindi nila kayang gastusan pa ang mga kailangang surgery para kahit papa'no maging normal ang itsura ng kanilang anak at matanggap sa school. Dahil nagbabayad din sila ng renta sa inuupahang apartment ay 'di talaga nila kayang gumastos pa sa cosmetic surgery ng kanilang anak.

Sofya Zakharova

May nagmagandang loob din sa kanila na charity (But Rainbow Goodness) para idemanda ang school para palitan ang school policy nila pero no luck pa rin dahil nagmatigas ang school at pinagtanggol din ang karapatan nila.

But Rainbow Goodness didn’t give up. The non-profit helped the family move into a new apartment with heating and water. Additionally, the government approved Sofya for a cosmetic surgery that would be taking place in Moscow.


Ganun pa man, masakit isipin na kung sino pa ang nangangailangan at kung sino pa ang dapat intindihin sa murang edad ni Sofya ay nakaranas siya ng ganitong discrimination sa mga adults na kagaya ng nangangasiwa ng school kung saan siya nag-aaral.

Ai-Ai Delas Alas nag-petition para ma-tanggal ang isang palabas sa sikat na production company

IG @msaiaidelasalas

Manila, Philippines – Sobrang gigil si Ai-Ai sa isang movie sa Netflix na kung saan may isang movie na gay Jesus.

 “They [Netflix] haven’t said anything to us like, ‘Maybe we should stop making the special available.’ They support freedom of speech,” Porchat told Variety.

“The First Temptation of Christ” kicks off with Jesus, just 30, returning after 40 days in the desert with a new close friend, Orlando (played by Porchat), who is almost certainly gay, just as his family throws Jesus a surprise 30th birthday party.

Narito naman ang say ng mga netizens:

• Wag naman sana. If you don’t want to watch it, then don’t. Some people like me wants to see this. I enjoyed the Last Hangover film which was also from this satirical group. I have a Netflix subscription and it’s good that I can see good films which aren’t available on cinema.
• If you are not a Christian, I understand why you want to watch this show. But if you are, then you should check where your faith is at, this show is blasphemous in all levels. Patawarin sana ng Dion kung sino mang gumawa ng show na ito.
• You are right. People should not dictate to others what to watch and not to watch. It’s not your business. You don’t have that right.Get a life. It’s a comedy.
• Sobrang pambabastos yung gawan ng kwento ang ating Panginoon. Mga lapastangan!
• Pwede namang gumawa kasi ng ganyang theme na movie pero ung character gagamitin eh Diyos matakot namn kayo. We stand witj our beliefs like you stand with yours. kung di kayo naniniwalang may diyos.. respesto lang..this is not funny...this is completely a blasphemy.
• Yung tipong napakasensitive nila pero insensitive at the same time. Yung gusto nila irespeto sila pero sila walang respeto sa paniniwala mo. Sobra naman na yan
• For us Catholics, we cannot take it. We find it a low blow for what we believe in. Pero it's an artistic decision that the producers of the movie wants to go through. Let us just accept the fact, that not everything has to go our way and other people find other concept entertaining. Again, not everything has to go our way. We live in a free world, let other people who have different beliefs express what they want. If we find it offensive, don't watch. Simple as that. But let us not impose our own beliefs to people who don't want to take it. Otherwise, let's just call ourselves Hitler.
• That's what they want you to do, to accept it as a form of freedom of speech, but it's deeper than that. They are pushing a satanic agenda that has nothing to do with free speech/expression. This is not art, this is a program geared to destroy core family values so people can start accepting this as the norm. You have to shield your morals and values before it's too late. They have pushed, and will be pushing it even farther. You know what's next on their list? Normalizing pedophilia. Once you're free to accept everything, they will push this. So better learn when to say No and Stop. Not kidding you.
• This is not funny... i am gay pero di ako susuporta sa mga gantong pangiinsulto kay GOD. tama si aiai.. masunog kayo sa impyerno.
