Advertising executive explains why John Lloyd Cruz is on leave


In an article published by philstar.com, an unnamed source of the newspaper offered an explanation why the kapamilya actor is currently on an indefinite leave from work.

The source who claimed to be connected with the establishements that hired the actor said that Cruz was reportedly dropped by some of his endorsements due to his tainted wholesome image following the leak of videos showing him in a seemingly drunken state, flashing a dirty finger and throwing cuss words.

These videos were uploaded on Instagram by a friend of Ellen Adarna who is rumored to be the current girlfriend of the actor. The couple is currently out of the country for a vacation.



The source also added that John Lloyd's image further plunged after he posted a photo  of stools in a toilet bowl, which also went viral on social media.

Because of what happened to John Lloyd, the showbiz insider said companies seeking endorsers are now stricter in their criteria. Not only must the actor’s image must be “wholesome.” To make sure that it is really “wholesome,” the contract for endorsers now allegedly includes “pages” of “morality clause.”

Is Star Cinema planning to produce a movie for John Lloyd Cruz and Pia Wurtzbach?

Is Star Cinema cooking something to put together Queen of the Universe Pia Wurtzbach and King of Box Office John Lloyd Cruz in one movie?

The two visited the office of Star Creatives on Wednesday evening, June 14 and met with AdProm executive Mico Del Rosario. The latter posted the photo above on his Instagram account and wrote in the caption,

"Ang saya ng office: look at our guests: the box office king and the queen of the universe!"

Maja Salvador wows in a bikini post-birthday celebration


Maja Salvador celebrated her 28th birthday last October 5 with some of her friends at an out-of-town vacation.

Clad in two-piece bikini, these photos which she uploaded on her Instagram account on Wednesday midnight, seemed to have been taken during her birthday celebration a few days ago.



Meanwhile, Maja has laughed off the issue when asked at the anniversary celebration of Ang Probisyano in Araneta Coliseum about the viral photo she had with John Lloyd Cruz and their out of town beach bonding a few months ago.

According to her, the issue was just a product of imagination of some members of the press media.

“Mayroon kasing di nakakaalam kung gaano kami ka-close dalawa. Sobrang lalim ng friendship namin, same handler kami kaya ganun”, she said.

She further explained the hashtag she used in one of the photos #GoodbyeItay #HelloLloydie

“Bawal ko na siyang tawaging Itay dahil pinagbawalan kami. Kasi siguro di kami makagawa ng project because of that. Parang nagkakaroon ng limitation, pag nagtatawagan kami ng Baby Girl at Itay."
