Downplaying A Scandal

Barely months into a position, a well-known family is now rocked with an embarrassing accusation. The alleged scandal has now become a social media feast. While damage control is being attempted, the story has leaked and consequently placed people in high places in an awkward state.

A few days ago, a Prominent Personality (PP) was part of an advanced party to make sure everything would be in place when the VIPS arrived. The hotel where the entourage was supposed to stay was to be checked and that was where the supposed incident happened.

Allegedly, PP could not control his attraction when a Hotel Staff came in the room to do her job. PP did something to HS, which prompted her to report PP’s actions to her boss. As a result, authorities placed PP in their control. When the embarrassing incident reached the VIPs, they fumed as a scandal was the last thing they needed. Cancelling the trip was out of the question and the VIPS went on as scheduled.

However, face-saving had to be done. The incident was initially denied but another thing happened that seemed to have added credibility to the scandalous story. People connected with PP were allegedly no longer allowed to join the VIPS.

So now, the said incident is still being downplayed. Perhaps, the alleged perpetuator and his team hoped that their silence would lead to the death of the shameful act rumor.

‘And scandal has a way of catching up with those who disregard its power.’ − Rachel Field

Repost: Bea Alonzo is Now a Legal Resident of Spain After Buying Apartment

Kapuso actress Bea Alonzo happily announced yesterday that she is now a legal resident of Spain after making a real estate investment of at least 500,000 euros (approximately P30 million) in an apartment in Madrid.

Bea looked radiant and refreshed as she and Alden Richards arrived in Cebu City to promote Start-Up PH which will have its last few episodes in December. 

The actress said she just came from long vacation in Europe and the highlight is her getting the  Golden Visa, a loose term for the Spanish Government’s Residency by Investment (RBI) program.

“Galing ako sa isang mahabang bakasyon. 26 days, almost a month. Kakauwi ko lang this week from Europe. The reason why I went there was because I wanted to get my Golden Visa to Spain, so am now a resident of Spain,” Bea revealed.

As a Spain resident, Bea is not required to stay in Spain but she can travel visa- free through the Schengen area of the European Union. This benefit can extend to her mom, Mary Anne. 

Bea can also work in the continent and apply for citizenship after two years.

“Yung Spanish government kasi, if you have a certain amount to invest sa real property nila,  you will be granted a Golden Visa which means you are automatically a resident. After two years, you can apply for citizenship which am not gonna of course, but, at least, there is that option,” Bea narrated.

“I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of living abroad. But not because I already have a place there doesn’t mean doon ako titira. Of course, am gonna live here (Philippines). It just so happened that I love Madrid, I love Spain and I have a lot of friends there,” the actress added.

We asked Bea if she is interested to work in Europe as an actress and she said she can consider it “but it’s not something I’ll be actively pursuing.”

“Parang ilan lang ang oras. 365 days lang sa isang taon. Wala na akong oras,” the busy actress replied, laughing

Bea admitted that travelling is her “guilty pleasure,” it is how she unwinds.

“You’re working on yourself because you’re always a work in progress. So when you travel, you expand your horizons, you discover so many things about the world and, therefore, you can see the world from a different perspective. It’s also about working on myself and my mental health,” she noted.

Repost: Former Actor and Decathlete David Bunevacz Sentenced to Jail for 210 Months by a California Court

Former Fil-Am actor and decathlete David Bunevacz was sentenced on Monday (US time) by a California court to jail for 210 months or more than 17 years.

Bunevacz, 53, of Calabasas, California, was convicted of one count of wire fraud and one count of securities fraud.

US District Judge Dale S. Fischer ordered Bunevacz to pay $35,267,851 in restitution for scamming investors in business entities he put up such as CB Holding Group Corp. and Caesarbrutus LLC. 

Bunevacz claimed these companies were involved in the cannabis industry and engaged in the sale of vape pens which contained CBD oil and THC.

According to the court document, Bunevacz was able to raise $45,227,266 from more than 100 victim-investors. 

However, he misappropriated majority of the funds to finance his opulent lifestyle including a luxurious house in Calabasas, Las Vegas trips, jewelry, designer handbags, a lavish birthday party for his daughter, and horses.

A former UCLA decathlete who competed with the Philippine national team, Bunevacz “preyed on individuals who believed he was their friend,” Judge Fischer said.

The “seriousness of [his] conduct cannot be captured in mere dollars and cents," he added.

Judge Fischer said Bunevacz continued with his scheme even while serving probation for a state court conviction. “Not even a criminal conviction and the threat of jail convinced [Bunevacz] to become a law-abiding citizen," he said.

On July 18, Bunevacz agreed to plead guilty to one count of securities fraud and one count of wire fraud.

He was arrested on April 5 and has been in federal custody since then.

Court documents showed Bunevacz told at least one investor that he had a Chinese manufacturer of disposable vape pens and had obtained “raw pesticide-free oil” that was sent to a “lab that infuses the flavors into the oil with our proprietary custom process that renders the vape flavoring smooth and discrete.”

He also provided investors with forged documents to show that the businesses were successful.

According to the court, Bunevacz registered various shell companies and listed other individuals including his stepdaughter as corporate officers.

He concealed negative information from his investors such as his felony conviction in 2017 for the unlawful sale of securities, according to an affidavit filed in support of a complaint in this case.

“The sense of violation, the assault on personal dignity, and the lasting trauma [Bunevacz] has caused are very much reminiscent of the harm typically associated with violent crimes,” prosecutors said.

“And, with well over a hundred victims, [Bunevacz] caused these harms at a scale rarely seen," they added.

The court did not grant Bunevacz' lawyer's request to shorten the jail sentence due to his client's health condition.

Bunevacz is set to serve his sentence at a California state prison. —with a report from Dave Llavanes Jr./KG, GMA Integrated News

Universal Records Philippines Forges Partnership with SHOW Korea to Further Strengthen The P-Pop Scene

Amid massive demand, popularity, and influence of Pinoy Pop or P-Pop right now in the landscape of the Philippine music scene, the home of the finest Original Pilipino Music (OPM), Universal Records Philippines along with SHOW Co., Ltd. have agreed to form a strategic partnership to further strengthen its hype and exposure here in the country.

It also aims to normalize giving the best possible talent and entertainment in today’s mainstream local and even international scenes, followers and supporters of P-Pop while contributing in promoting the one-of-kind Filipino culture and artistry as well.

Present at the contract signing ceremony were Universal Records Operations Manager Peter Chan, Managing Director Kathleen Dy-Go, along with ShowBT Korea, SHOW Korea, and SBTown Philippines CEO & President Geong Seong-Han, also known as Tatang Robin, with Ethan Yang, and Adie Hong.

It’s not a secret that Universal Records has been the major record label which can be called the pioneer in promoting and supporting the rise of K-Pop music here in the country since the mid-late 2000s. From selling CDs and spearheading shows, the label had been there and done that. And right now, it tries to remain at the forefront of innovative promotion of these kinds of music, as well as bridging the gap between different cultures.

UR’s Kathleen Dy-Go believes that there are a lot of talented individuals here in the Philippines who can be “idol material” and it is high time for these people to be exposed to high quality and intensive training, while acquiring the commendable discipline that Korean agencies instill in their trainees.

“It’s such a great honor for the label to acquire a partnership of this caliber. We promise that we’ll work very hard for the potential groups that we will be launching along with SHOW Korea and SBTown Philippines and of course, we have a lot of surprises in store for all of the P-Pop fans out there,” she says.


For the beloved Tatang Robin, it’s finally the right time for SHOW Korea, SBTown Philippines and UR to make this partnership happen so he approached the label first this time around. Both easily agreed to have an immediate meeting since both parties are interested and share the same vision.

“I want to express my gratitude to Universal Records because it did not take long for the label to agree to this amazing partnership. It was quick,” he shares.

As a great CEO himself, Tatang Robin has an exemplary experience in creating a really great boy group, evident in his dedication in training and debuting SB19, who's perhaps the most popular P-Pop group right now. So now it’s a new challenge for him to create an ultimate P-Pop girl group that will be idolized by many P-Pop and K-pop supporters. Although he’s nervous, he’s optimistic that SHOW Korea and SBTown Philippines can pull it off, of course, with the aid of UR.

He explains, “I believe that it’s the girls’ era this time around here in the Philippine market. As you all know, the most famous groups in South Korea right now are girl groups. It’s just very common here in this world that there’s really an order for everything. So, I think this time is already the right time for the girl groups to be at the top. I hope that this girl group that we’re going to debut is the first to be nominated internationally, like in Billboard.”

“If only fans give their love and support just like they did before in SB19, I believe that it’s also possible. Most of the talents we have, they have been training for up to four years. The shortest is one year and seven months. And as you all know I don’t debut talents who are not yet ready,” he adds.

Looks like the fans are in for a treat in the coming weeks and months because of this exciting partnership.

Marriage Breakdown

Image courtesy of www.stock.adobe.com

The social circles of business and fashion are once again abuzz with the rumored breakup of Female Entrepreneur (FE) and Dashing Husband (DH). FE and DH have been married for several years, which made family and friends confident of the strength of their marriage. Moreover, the marriage was blessed with beautiful children.

FE has made her mark in her field with hard work. Other than her business endeavors, FE is proud of raising her family, which has been noted as an example among her peers and audience. The image she and her family possessed is ideal and happy.

Sadly, the reality turned into a huge disappointment. Sometime ago, FE had to go overseas for commitments. When she came home, she was told a woman came over while she was away. Puzzled at the strange information, FE did her own sleuthing. FE found out that the woman was allegedly DH’s other woman. As the cliché goes, hell hath no fury than a woman scorned. Years of togetherness went down the drain with such carelessness.

‘What we make testifies who we are. People can sense care and can sense carelessness. This relates to respect for each other and carelessness is personally offensive.’ − Jonathan Ive

Striking Back

Image courtesy of www.istockphoto.com

Revenge is often the recourse when a person wants to get back at someone whom he/she thinks has wronged him/her. Although some would let go and let the universe do its karma, others will take matters into their own hands.

In the case of Controversial Personality (CP), executing a plan to get back at a Respected Figure (RF) has started. RF is known for being savvy in the field of expertise the family has held on to for many years. RF has established a reputation that is trusted and thus, any negative incident could tarnish the hard work and name.

Meanwhile, CP has started with a subtle extraction of retaliation. Payback time has come. Within the inner circle, CP had allegedly sent messages to certain friends who know RF. Such messages contained accusations that could tarnish RF. For example, CP accused RF of facilitating good personal publicity by using own funds to finance media presence in various publications and social media. In addition, CP claimed that a budget was set to ensure parties considered enemies by RF were to be featured negatively in social media. Overall, CP portrayed RF as someone who possesses little credibility given that money has come into play to improve one’s image and hurt others.  

‘The paradox of vengefulness is that it makes men dependent upon those who have harmed them, believing that their release from pain will come only when their tormentors suffer.’ ― Laura Hillenbrand
