As far as bachelor pads go, men usually don’t need a lot. A big television, a bed to sleep in, and probably some gaming consoles in addition to the most basic furniture are more than enough to keep them happy in their homes. Take Kapuso actor Mikael Daez, for example, who just moved into his new pad. He knew exactly what he needed and shared a photo of his place on Instagram. Practically bare and unfurnished, Mikael proudly showed off a part of his home, and the actor looked very pleased with it. He wrote, “When you’ve just moved in and don’t have any stuff… And I decided to get a TV first instead of a bed.” True enough, Mikael had a huge flatscreen television set up on the floor of his room. However, he has no bed and used comforters for a makeshift sleeping place. Aside from that, his room only had a chair, a small shelf, and a small crate. If only the actor did not admit that he had just moved in, then one would think that he’s following the Japanese minimalist sty...
Kris Aquino is not one to be silent when it comes to being bashed or ridiculed by netizens. Just recently, she once again hit back at an online basher who criticized her and said that she was not paying her household helpers enough money.
According to Inquirer Bandera, a netizen left a comment in one of her posts on social media. The source quoted the following words from the netizen:
“Bincai is your household staff. Do you pay her at least $10.50/ hr which is the minimum wage in NC. Per labor law beyond 40 hrs is time and a half. My Q(uestion) is not even whether you can afford, but of course you can. My question is are you required to abide? #curious&nosy.”
Bincai is one of the helpers working under the “Queen of All Media.” In an additional report from GMA Entertainment, they cited that the netizen commented in one of her Instagram posts taken from New York, United States.
Kris Aquino said that she takes care of her employees and said that she even processed the multiple entry visa of Bincai to U.S. The media personality replied to the netizen thoroughly:
“I saw those papers when we applied for her US Visa, fyi her 10 year multiple entry visa is attached to mine & I am her guarantor…” “I’m a very fair boss & I’m feeling the negativity from you so this will be long: Bincai flew business class w/ us, I gave her clothing allowance before we flew here so she’d be prepared for the cold & I gave her a lot of my sweaters because lucky for her we are the same size.” “Upon arriving here, Bincai had the $ salary as stipulated in the contract I signed w/her to present to the US Embassy as a supporting document. I am offended by your question because there is an implication that it is intended to make me appear like a clueless & selfish employer –so I shall add more details.” “Staff at home received their 13th month pay in June, we deposit in their ATM account their salary every 10th – but because my sons & I left, everybody received their salary 10 days in advance. Those working for us for 1 year or more will receive their 14th month pay this November.” “Your insinuations were insulting BUT I’ve always believed when the truth is on my side I should be vocal in defending my dignity. Being nosy about other people’s financial practices in my opinion isn’t proper especially when you just want to bring me down.” “I was also nosy & checked your account although it is on private but there were details – for someone who is a clinical coordinator in Yale New Haven Health the type of comment you sent my way seemed to be a bad match for someone in a position that requires trust and discretion.”
According to her, she pays her employers their 13th month pay (and even 14th month, for those working one year or more for her).
Meanwhile, here are the netizens’ comments about the issue:
