The Philippines has a storied history when it comes to the Miss International pageant, with the country winning six crowns over the pageant's 66-year history.

Hoping to add a seventh crown to that collection is Philippines representative Katrina Anne Johnson, who will be competing in the 64th Miss International pageant happening in Japan later this month.

In an interview with GMA Lifestyle, Katrina said that the pressure of that winning history is something that she accepts.

“We're the second best-performing country behind Venezuela, so of course there's a little bit of weight that comes with that history. But when it comes to pressure, I think it just pushes me to hold myself to a higher standard,” she said.

“The six queens who came before me proved themselves when they were in Japan, so I have to do the same to show that I'm worthy of being the seventh. Thankfully, I haven't really received external pressure. It's all internal.”

Of course, Katrina has been displaying that higher standard throughout her time in the Binibining Pilipinas pageant. Check out why she might just win that seventh Miss International crown in the gallery below:

Family reveals Ate Gay in critical condition with brain damage

Updates continue to pour in on social media regarding the health condition of comedian Gil Morales, popularly known as Ate Gay.

On Facebook, the comedian's family shared an official medical update following his admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

READ: Ate Gay confined in ICU; family appeals for financial assistance

According to the statement, Ate Gay was rushed to the Asian Hospital and Medical Center (AHMC) on October 17 after experiencing difficulty breathing.

“Ayon sa kanyang mga doktor, siya ay nagkaroon ng Septic Shock at Acute Respiratory Failure Secondary to Pneumonia, o malubhang impeksyon na nakaapekto sa kanyang paghinga at sirkulasyon ng dugo. Dahil dito, kinailangan siyang ilagay sa Intensive Care Unit (ICU) upang mabigyan ng masusing gamutan at monitoring,” the statement read.

The family explained that they brought Ate Gay to the hospital because it was where the comedian had previously received cancer treatment.

"Batay sa pinakahuling paliwanag ng kanyang mga attending physicians, na patuloy na nagmo-monitor sa kanyang vital signs at sa paggana ng kanyang mga organ, nalampasan na po ni Ate Gay ang unang septic shock na kanyang naranasan,” they added.

However, on October 29, the family learned Ate Gay suffered a stroke that damaged the right side of his brain.

"Sa kasalukuyan, umaasa pa rin siya sa mga life-support machine upang masuportahan ang mahahalagang function ng kanyang katawan. Nananatili pong kritikal at guarded ang kanyang kondisyon."

The family also considered transferring the comedian to another hospital due to mounting medical expenses. However, his doctors advised them to keep him in the ICU, given his still-critical condition.

"Humihingi rin po kami ng paumanhin dahil patuloy kaming lumalapit at humihingi ng tulong sa inyong lahat. Nauunawaan po namin na ang bawat isa ay may kanya-kanyang pinagdaraanan at responsibilidad. Hindi po namin binabalewala ang anumang tulong na inyong ibinibigay at lubos po kaming nagpapasalamat sa inyong kabutihan."

To help cover his medical expenses, the family has also reached out to government agencies, private individuals, charitable institutions, and other organizations.

"Maraming salamat po sa inyong pang-unawa, pagmamahal, suporta at patuloy na panalangin. Sa kabila ng lahat, patuloy po kaming umaasa at nagtitiwala sa awa at biyaya ng Diyos,” they concluded.

Last October 27, the family also appealed for financial assistance on social media, revealing that Ate Gay had already been confined in the ICU for more than a week.

The post came after the comedian held a "living funeral" with close friends and loved ones, which he described as a "celebration of life."

Last June, Ate Gay shared positive results from his magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), revealing that the lump in his nose and neck were no longer present.

Did Ate Gay defeat cancer?

In July 2026, Ate Gay revealed continuing to receive CyberKnife treatment and immunotherapy.

"Di pa po ako Cancer Free... nagsaCyberknife pa po ako at immuno therapy… but malakas na ako at nagkakalaman na ang aking pangangatawan," he wrote in a post.

"Nakitaan ako ng bukol sa ibaba ng leeg ko malapit sa balikat na agad nila inagapan gamit ang CYBERKNIFE," he added.

Despite continuing treatment, Ate Gay said his condition has not affected his energy and that his doctors have allowed him to continue performing.

What cancer stage does Ate Gay have?

Back in 2025, Ate Gay publicly shared that he had been diagnosed with stage four cancer.

In November, the comedian celebrated completing chemotherapy. During the first session of the therapy, Ate Gay received what he calls a miracle as his tumor shrank from 10 centimeters to 8.5 centimeters after just a few days.

But the following month, Ate Gay was rushed to the hospital due to side effects from chemotherapy and treatment.

Wilbert Ross dreams of having multiple hit songs

Sat, 24 Oct 2026 17:10:50 +0800

Wilbert Ross continues to enjoy one success after another in his showbiz career, from online series and movies to concerts.

In fact, following the success of his solo anniversary concert WRiten By, he will take the show on tour to Davao on October 25; and Sta. Rosa, Laguna, on November 28.

“I'm just being grateful po sa blessings talaga. Nagte-thank you lang ako sa Lord at sa mga taong dahilan kung bakit meron akong nitong blessings na 'to,” Wilbert said when GMANetwork.com asked him how he was taking these successive successes.

He added, “Lagi ko pong sinisipagan. Kahit na medyo nag-o-overlap na, nandun pa rin ako sa giving my best at anything, na hindi ako pwedeng, 'Ah, busy ako sa film, kaya napapabayaan ko 'to.' I'm always giving my best sa lahat ng ginagawa ko.”

Despite these achievements, Wilbert said he has no plans of taking a break just yet.

He explained, “Kasi ang tagal kong hinintay 'to. Hindi ko rin masasabi kung mag-pause ka, makakabalik ka. Kailangan strike while the iron is hot.

“Pero siyempre, ang ginagawa ko is mina-maximize ko ang rest na puwede ko pong magawa. Maybe, after all these na sunud-sunod [na projects], puwede akong magpahinga.

“Kailangan kong magsulat ng bagong kanta if ever, magwo-workout ako nang magwo-workout, para pagbalik ko another relaunching na naman.”

He added, “Mahirap sabihin na sobrang dami kasi blessing po siya, e. As long as kaya naman ng katawan at nagagawa ko po, at hindi naman po ako masyadong nako-compromise ang quality ng art ko, kaya ko naman po.

“Kasi, kapag sa tingin ko, sobra na o hirap na hirap na ako, magsasabi naman po ako.”

Wilbert believes he still has opportunities to surpass what he has achieved in his showbiz career, particularly as a music artist.

“Sa tingin ko po meron pa, e, kasi wala pa akong hit song talaga. So, I will keep writing songs. Sulat lang po ako nang sulat.

“Baka yun ang isa sa mga kailangan kong maabot—magkaroon ng multiple hit songs or awards from reputable award-giving bodies—before ko masabi na successful na talaga ako. For now, I'm still working hard, on the way po doon para masabi ko ang bagay na 'yon.”

Si Kris Aquino ang isa sa special guests ng batikang host sa kanyang birthday week sa Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.

Pagbabahagi ni Boy, "She talked about how generous, how pure Josh is. She spoke about how Bimb stayed with her in this journey."

Ayon sa batikang host, sa pagtatapos ng kaniyang interview sa Queen of All Media ay sumama si Bimby. Dito, naging emosyonal na si Boy nang balikan niya ang mga sinabi ng bunsong anak ni Kris tungkol kay Josh na may special needs.

“Ang nakaka-touch din, si Bimb. When he spoke about Josh, sabi niya, the kindest, most generous, 'I will only marry a girl who can accept kuya. Because I know that one day, when mama is gone, I will take care of him.' Nakaka-proud,” sabi ni Boy.

Nagbahagi rin umano si Bimby ng mga posibilidad sa kaniyang buhay at karera. Sa katunayan, sabi ni Boy, dapat abangan ang sagot ng young star sa kaniyang huling tanong.

“You should watch out for my last question, I said, 'When you turn 40, 45, do you see yourself as president of this country?' Bantayan n'yo 'yung sagot,” sabi ni Boy.

TINGNAN ANG PAGKABINATA NI BIMBY SA GALLERY NA ITO:

Kamakailan lang ay naging laman si Josh ng mga balita dahil sa mga komento ng Machong Chismisan hosts. Pag-amin ni Boy, pinili niyang 'wag nang banggitin kay Kris ang naturang kontrobersiya, pero in-acknowledge naman niya ang paghingi nila ng paumanhin.

“Maganda naman na nag-apologize because that's acknowledging our wrongdoing. Pero may mga pagkakamali that fall under the law at hindi ko 'yan panghimasukan. Ngayon na may kaso ang NBI laban sa kanila, tama lamang na nag-apologize sila dahil marami ang nasaktan—nasaktan kayo, nasaktan ako,” sabi ni Boy.

Pagpapatuloy pa ng King of Talk, “And thank you for realizing that what you did was wrong. You mocked and insulted a young man who has no power to fight back. Pero tama lang, thank you for apologizing.”

'Iskul Bukol' actor Tonette Macho dies; Gina Tagasa mourns longtime friend

Fri, 16 Oct 2026 19:00:21 +0800

Actor Anthony Roquel, popularly known as Tonette Macho, died on October 16, 2026, drawing an emotional tribute from his longtime friend, creative writer Gina Marissa Tagasa.

Roquel's niece, Ja Roquel-Arreza, announced his passing on social media.

“With faith and love, we share that our dearest, Tito Anthony A. Roquel, has been called home to be with our Lord and Savior on October 16, 2026,” Ja wrote.

She then described her uncle as “a devoted warrior of Christ, a loving son, a dependable brother, a wonderful uncle, a best friend to most, a prayer partner to thousands.”

The family, she added, takes comfort in knowing that Roquel is now at rest in eternal peace and no longer in pain.

In the same post, Ja also shared a Bible verse from 2 Timothy 4:7 in honoring her uncle's faith and life: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”

A similar photo post was also shared by Nica Gomez-Lorena, giving details of their uncle's wake.

A service of thanksgiving and remembrance will begin on October 17, 2026, at 3 p.m. at Venice Premiere Chapel, Loyola Chapels, Dr. A. Santos Ave., Sucat, Parañaque. Further funeral details are expected to be announced.

Meanwhile, Tagasa mourned the loss of her longtime friend, finding comfort in the thought that he had finally returned to the Lord.

“Nagluluksa ang puso ko sa araw na ito dahil wala ka na. Pero masaya na rin at finally, umuwi ka na kay LORD dahil tapos na rin ang paghihirap mo. This is His will. It's done,” she wrote.

Although they had not spent time together as often as they did in the past, Tagasa said their friendship remained strong through messages, laughter, and conversations about their lives, faith, and love for God.

She recalled their favorite motto: “Ang buhay parang comedy lang. Tinatawanan hindi tinatawaran.”

Tagasa also remembered how Roquel would regularly send her uplifting messages and Bible verses whenever she shared prayer requests. Even their seemingly trivial conversations, such as asking what she was having for a meal or what she would wear to an awards event, became meaningful reminders of their enduring friendship.

According to Tagasa, Roquel continued to fight despite his illness. She recalled visiting him the previous month and seeing how he remained determined to keep going.

“Kahit nung dinalaw kita last month, ramdam kong lumalaban ka pa rin like a real Warrior. Salamat sa Friendship, Bâ...” she wrote.

She continued, "Iyakap mo na lang ako kay Mommy, ha. 'Iskul Bukol' days pa lang, magkatandem na kayo as Miss Tapia at Tonette Macho hanggang pareho ninyong hinarap ang bagong buhay kay Lord . Minana ko pa ang magandang friendship ninyo . Ngayon, magkikita na ulit kayo sa langit.

"At least, hindi mo na mararanasan ang El Niño o daraanan pa ang maraming problema ng mga andito pa sa magulong mundo. Rest in Peace, my friend.

She ended her tribute with a heartfelt message to her longtime friend: “Mahal na mahal kita, Anthony.”

Meanwhile, here are other comedians who have passed away:
