“I am a proud ally of the LGBTQ+community, and I have so much love and respect for them. I believe that LGBTQ+ rights are human rights – it is their birthright that they should not be deprived of. I celebrate their accomplishments and their choices and their lives,” he said.



Also present during the festivity were Arjo’s parent’s, businessman Art Atayde and award-winning dramatic actress Sylvia Sanchez who is also considered as an icon by the LGBTQ+ community.

Kapuso actress Bea Alonzo met the entertainment media after she renewed her endorsement with Beautederm recently.


Bea revealed her weight-loss struggles by trying different diet programs just to maintain her ideal body weight and look good on screen.

“I am very vocal that I've been through all that, but the real secret is to have a healthy lifestyle and live happy,” she said.

Beautéderm President and CEO Rhea Anicoche-Tan, on the other hand, believes that Bea is the best ambassador to represent Beautéderm.

“Bea is focused and humble, and she knows her priorities. I am glad to know that Bea sees to it that she is healthy first and foremost because for the past two years, we all learned the value of good health. I proudly welcome her as the official brand ambassador of Beautéderm’s REIKO Slimaxine and REIKO Fitox.” Bea is now busy with her first GMA serye, the local adoptation of “Start Up” with Alden Richards.



Ezra Aquino isn't your usual kid. The 5-year-old kid happens to be the youngest champion to emerge at the Race of the Champions held at the Davsons Motocross Park, in Taysan, Batangas last March 19, 2022.


Ezra started riding a bike without training wheels he was one-year and five months before eventually taking on motorbikes when he was three, though 50cc in make and displacement, is deemed challenging to ride by other kids his age.

Spectators were amazed at the show of skill coming from so small a rider. During the pre-stages of the race during the first leg of the season because he was only four-years-old then, held a day earlier, Ezra aced through heats, despite mishaps that affected his pace, but not his focus and tenacity.


In our interview with Ezra’s proud parents, they said that despite the popularity and attention that their child is getting, they treat him as a normal child and that finishing his education is still his most important goal.
