In his most recent YouTube vlog titled “GRABE YUNG TSISMIS SA ANAK NI KRIS AQUINO!” which was posted last March 3, entertainment reporter and talent manager Ogie Diaz dispelled malicious rumors regarding Kris Aquino’s older son Joshua Aquino. Ogie cited a local showbiz-oriented channel on YouTube as the source of the false news.

“Nakakalungkot lang. Ang dami na niyang ginagawang mga issue na hindi naman totoo. Ang problema, gawa ka ng gawa ng mga issue, hindi naman pinapatulan ng mga artista kaya kami naman ang papatol,” Ogie shared at the start of his vlog along with co-host Mama Loi.

Ogie then shared what the false news item about Kris’s eldest son was all about. “Ang sabi niya, kinonfirm pa na si Joshua Aquino yung panganay ni Kris Aquino ay ikakasal na dahil ito ay nakabuntis. May girlfriend, at nabuntis yung girlfriend, at ikakasal na. At si Kris Aquino daw ang gagastos. At tinanong pa nila si Kris Aquino kung ilang apo ang gusto niya. Ang nakakaloka, wala namang statement si Kris,” he said.

Addressing the fake news showbiz channel, Ogie also called them out for using a misleading photo of Joshua with his longtime yaya Bincai with the headline that he is now in a relationship.

“Unang una, kung nag-co-confirm kayo, dapat sinasabi niyo kung anong pangalan talaga nang nabuntis umano, hindi ko sinasabing nabuntis ni Joshua. Ni wala kayong pangalan. Hindi naman natin tinatapos yung future ni Joshua na maging ama. Kaya lang, imposible naman,” he explained.

According to their vlog, what could have prompted the rumor was Kris’s Instagram video showing her interviewing Joshua who went to Manila for a quick visit last month.

“Kung meron mang tao na una nating mababalitaan na nakabuntis si Joshua, yan ay si Kris Aquino. Hindi magpapahuli si Kris Aquino. Kaya yung mga nag-iimbento hindi ko na masabi, Diyosko, tigilan niyo na yung mga ganyan. Gusto niyo lang maka-attract ng views,” he said.

Before ending his vlog, Ogie reminded netizens to be more discerning when it comes to reading news online.

“Sa mga netizens naman, sa mga nanunuod ng showbiz news sa YouTube, huwag ho kayo basta basta maniniwala sa mga binabasang report lang. Pero wala namang pruwebang ipinapakita. Kasi yang mga yan ay nang-a-attract lang ng viewers. Kaya diyan tayo mag-iingat,” he added.
