NAGING emosyonal si Martin Nievera nang pag-usapan sa isang programa sa TV ang anak niyang si Santino na may Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).Ano nga ba ang ASD? Ayon sa Mayo Clinic:
“Autism spectrum disorder is a condition related to brain development that impacts how a person perceives and socializes with others, causing problem in social interaction and communication. The disorder also includes limited and repetitive patterns of behavior. The term “spectrum” in autism spectrum disorder refers to the wide range of symptoms and severity.”
Ayon kay Martin, ngayon lang siya naging open sa kalagayan ng kanyang anak sa dating partner na si Katrina Ojeda.
“I have a special child and I am so proud. So proud and so scared at the same time because I`m not going to be here forever. When he`s already on his own, who is going to translate? Who`s going to tell people – not apologize but to tell people – na in love siya sa mga mermaid. Why does my son, a 16 year old boy, 6 foot, why does he like mermaids? What is about mermaids?…And we don`t know how to handle it until it happened to you, It`s happening to me and I love it. I love this challenge.”
Aminadong hindi siya perperktong ama pero lahat daw ay ginagawa niya para sa kanyang mga anak.
“I wish I was a better father to all three boys but I am not. But it is what it is. I do the best I can. I`m still here to entertain everybody but my real life is a challenge and that`s why I am always in the States so I can co-parent this child. Robin and Ram, they are helping me now because they are close to Santino.
“So this could be a good thing that they are all together in the same country that they can take over. Is God trying to tell me that`s it? You got your 40 years, maybe you have to start thinking what happens after, maybe that`s what this day is all about and it`s really scary.”

IBINAHAGI ni Pia Wurtzbach ang pinagdaanang mental health struggles. Binalikan niya ang araw nang ma-diagnosed with depression and anxiety noong nasa Miss Universe siya at mula noon hanggang ngayon ay naging journey ng buhay niya ang learning, healing at bouncing back, kapag siya ay nao-off track.
Post niya, “Nowadays I`ve learned and adopted healthier habits that help manage my emotions, but it`s not to say it`s all smooth sailing because it never really just goes away. There`s no magic cure.You just learn how to get better at managing it. But even with everything I`ve learned already, with the support I have & how truly blessed I am, even with all of that .. it`s still a daily struggle. And there are days when I can`t even pinpoint or explain what`s wrong I don`t know if it`s the same for other people but this is how I describe it.
“Everyday, I wake up and I have to make a choice. I could either let this stop me and consume me for the rest of the day ( possibly snowball into the rest of the week, or so) or I could choose to do what feels right for me. Lately, the good thoughts have been winning, but the fact that I have to choose everyday is exhausting.
“So I take it one day at a time. And I celebrate even the little victories. Wins don`t have to come in form of a crown, a big work opportunity or trying to run a marathon. Wins are those moments where I choose to get out of bed instead of staying in and consuming media all day. It`s when I stick to my promise of seeing a friend instead of flaking and staying home.”
Sabi pa ni Pia pagkatapos ng kanyang post, ” So here`s to winning everyday! And here`s to staying strong and focused. Ignore all the noise. You will hear, “Nag-iinarte lang yan.” Don`t let it affect you or scare you from reaching out to someone…and even lend a helping hand to someone. Not everyone will understand or even believe you, especially if they`ve never experienced it for themselves. Or who knows, they might actually be struggling too. Let`s keep winning everyday.
May naka-relate kay Pia at nagpasalamat for being their voice. Marami rin ang nag-wish kay Pia to continue winning.

Dingdong di kinontra pagpapa-ban sa K-dramas
Si Dingdong Dantes na mismo ang nagsabi na extended hanggang next year ang Family Feud kaya ang mga nag-aalalang viewers ay hindi dapat mangamba na hanggang December na lang ang airing ng game show ni Dingdong sa GMA 7.
“Sharing good vibes lang dahil extended hanggang next year ang @familyfeudph!” pahayag ni Dingdong.
Samantala, itinanggi ng PPL Entertainment (management ni Dingdong) ang balitang nagso-solicit umano ng pera ang kampo ng actor para gamitin sa Family Feud. Ginagamit ng mga scammers ang pangalan ni Dingdong at ang show para makapag-kurakot.
“Only the GMA Network Inc. is legally authorized to coordinate for and transact in behalf of Family Feud. Please remain vigilant. Thank you,” pahayag ng management ni Dingdong.
May comment nga pala si Dingdong sa isyung pagpapa-ban sa bansa ng K-drama.
“We should take inspiration from the economic framework of the Korean entertainment industry without copying the creative output,” comment ni Dingdong.
Hindi kinontra ni Dingdong ang comment ni Senator Jinggoy Estrada, pero mas pabor siya sa mga suggestion ni Cong. Joey Salceda.
