What’s wrong with accepting funding? Accepting funding is not “evil”. What is wrong with what Jover Laurio did was she was not transparent about it. She should have informed her readers that her blogs are being sponsored by Kris Aquino. Instead she had the nerve to accuse others of being paid. No, we should not…
As of this writing, this report published by ABS-CBN News provides the most recent information about a position the Crazy Rich One has taken on the matter of her falling out with her business manager Nicko Falcis. This follows brouhaha over her former friend Gretchen Barretto taking the side of Falcis on that matter. Aquino,…
More leaked screenshots seem to point to a strong financial link between lawyer Gideon Pena and the Crazy Rich One herself, Kris Aquino. According to some sources, Pena is retained as “legal consultant” to Aquino allegedly to the tune of 100,000 pesos. But speculation is rife that the scope of this contract (which, reportedly, is…
