Our rapid-fire roundup of things happening in Philippine showbiz.
1. SIR CHIEF HATES FASHION PULIS
Blogger Fashion Pulis recently released a blind item describing a Cute Heartthrob who, together with a relative, is very much into asking fans for gifts that those who have such get prioritized during photo opps. If you check the comments section, most of them think it is Richard Yap aka Sir Chief of Be Careful With My Heart fame. Interestingly, the actor addressed this recently. According to getitfromboy.net, Sir Chief said that Fashion Pulis has no credibility. “He is supposed to be an educated person. He is from La Salle and he’s Chinese but with what he’s doing he’s bringing down the name of the institution he’s working for, his being a Chinese.”
Sir Chief clarified that he never asks for anything from his fans online, and that all his possessions right now he got before joining showbiz. “When I was still in kindergarten ay may Rolex na ako,” he proudly shared.

It’s been around three months since Kristoffer Martin and Joyce Ching broke up, and Kristoffer admits that he hasn’t completely moved on. He told Pep.ph that they are trying to preserve their friendship because they did start out as friends before becoming boyfriend-girlfriend. He’s still open to the possibility of a reconciliation, but that they are both now focusing on work. Kristoffer shared that he’s still not ready for serious dating or commitment, and that he’ll definitely get hurt if ever he finds out Joyce is dating another guy already. However, he’s willing to let her go if he sees that the guy is deserving and if she’s happy with him. (Photo: flinstuns Instagram account)
