Mystica Receives Public Backlash After Defending Joaquin Montes and his Father

Earlier this month, 90's star Mystica became the talk of the town on social media following her publicized dispute with Raffy Tulfo. Initially, Mystica approached Tulfo's radio to ask for help, but things spiralled downwards which eventually ended in Raffy Tulfo asking Mystica to seek professional help.

Nowadays, the "Split Queen" has yet again challenged the "Wanted sa Radyo" host. In a viral Facebook video, the 51-year-old 90's star challenged Raffy about his claims. It can be remembered that Raffy questioned Mystica's sanity and asked her to undergo professional treatment.

This apparently offended Mystica, who retaliated by saying that there is not an ounce of truth in Raffy's words. She also demanded evidence from the host, who is yet to respond. In addition to that, Mystica also addressed the bullying controversy in Ateneo de Manila University.

In case you missed it, last week, many people were enraged after a video of a bully resurfaced online. The high school student, who is studying in Ateneo, can be seen punching and humiliating his classmate. This caused a public uproar and even the parents of the bully were questioned.

However, Msytica took the side of the bully and reprimanded the people who are criticizing him. According to the "Split Queen," instead of criticizing, we should focus on what drove the bully to do the things he did. She even showed a Php 100,000 check to challenge one of the Ateneo bully's detractors.

This did not sit well with the netizens who claimed that Mystica was defending the bully. Because of her controversial take on this issue, it has attracted divided opinion from people. Check out their comments below:

Robin Padilla Gets Called Out for Celebrating Christmas Despite Being Muslim

In the midst of the festivities during Christmas season, some celebrities are still not safe from the prying eyes of the public. One of them is Robin Padilla, who was criticized on social media for celebrating Christmas despite having a different religion.

On Instagram, the 49-year-old action star's wife, Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla, shared a photo of their family gathering during Christmas. The photo was flooded with many well-wishers and greetings, but one critic left an unsavory comment for Robin Padilla.

According to the Instagram user--whose identity will be withheld for privacy--Robin should not be celebrating Christmas since this is a Christian tradition, and the action star is a Muslim. In the Islam religion, they do not celebrate or even acknowledge Christmas.

To shed light on the matter, the 49-year-old actor shared an insightful message on his personal Instagram account. His statement read as follows:

"Ano man ang ating pananampalataya Ang pasko ay ispiritu ng pagbibigay na walang inaantay na pagbalik. Ito ay isang kaligayahan dahil ang kasiyahan sa mga tao ay wagas. Ito ang araw ng paglimot sa sariling interes at pagsasakatuparan sa interes ng mga mas nangangailangan. Ito ay isa ng kultura at tradisyon ng mga Pilipino na nagpapawi sa mga pangit nating pag uugali at mga nakasanayan. Ang pasko ay pagbabalik loob sa pag ibig sa Dios, Bayan at Kapwa Tao."

On the other hand, many people also defended the actor. A Facebook user claimed that he sees nothing wrong in Robin's action, because Christmas does not discriminate. Meanwhile, a fellow Muslim also offered his insight on the matter:

"Celebrating Christmas for a Muslim with his non-Muslim is not a sin as long you respect each other belief and halal food are being serve. Islam is love. Christmas is love where family are gather together once in a year."

Luneta Park Almost Looked Like a Dumpsite After Christmas Celebration

Luneta Park is a popular landmark all over the country and is visited by thousands of tourists every year. Formerly known as "Bagumbayan," this historical site is a blind witness to the assassination of Dr. Jose Protacio Rizal in 1896.

As customary, Filipinos spent their Christmas eve with a bang. Most families stayed on the comforts of their home, while some choose to celebrate outside. This year, thousands of families spent their Christmas eve in Luneta Park. However, they left a nasty 'remembrance' after the festivities.

In less than a week before the 122nd death anniversary of Dr. Jose Rizal, many people desecrated his landmark. Many families who spent their Christmas eve on Luneta park left their trash all over the historic place. In doing so, they have disrespected and mocked our own national hero.

In the early morning after Christmas eve, street sweepers and park rangers were met with mounds of garbage. The whole 60-hectares of land were littered with trash, plastic bottles, picnic mats, disposable cups, and many more. The ornamental gardens and wide lawns looked like a massive dump site.

After celebrating, the people neglected their surroundings and didn't even have the heart to take care of their trash. This heartbreaking sight went viral on social media. What's more frustrating is it happened just a few days before Dr. Jose Rizal's death anniversary.

Many people condemned the massive littering that happened. Some netizens even suggested to close the park temporarily, just so it won't be desecrated by irresponsible visitors again.

Do you think Luneta Park should be closed off? Your opinion counts, so don't hesitate to share your thoughts with us in the comments section below. For more updates on the latest happenings, feel free to follow us on Facebook.
