In an interview, Taberna revealed that he only found out about this betrayal three weeks ago. By that time, it was already too late as the person has already embezzled millions of funds from the company.

The news anchor did not hide his disappointment after discovering that the person broke his trust.

“Isipin mo hirap na hirap kami. Alam mo yung pagpapagamot sa katulad ni Zoey, sa kanyang kondisyon, mabigat yon. Minsan napupuntahan niyo itong Ka Tunying’s nadiskubre namin two weeks or three weeks ago lamang na kami pala ay ninanakawan ng taong pinagkakatiwalaan namin dito sa kompanya,” said Taberna.

While he did not specify the thief, the news anchor claimed that he was a trusted friend. Due to the missing funds, Taberna is also fearing that their company might close down soon.

He is determined to file a case against the person. They are also in need of money to continue Zoey’s costly treatment.

“Sobrang sakit sa pakiramdam. Kaya ang sitwasyon namin ngayon, yung tao ay inihahanda namin ang kaso sa kanya. Tinitingnan din namin ang pananagutan ng bangko, kasi malaking halaga. Sabi ko nga, kung hindi mareremedyuhan ang nangyari, masakit man ipinagtapat ko na sa manager namin na baka ihanda natin ang sarili natin sa pagsasara ng kompanya,” added the news anchor, who couldn’t help but turn emotional.

For a few weeks now, Derek Ramsay and Andrea Torres’ break-up has been the talk of the town. In November, the former celebrity couple revealed that they are ending their relationship after dating for one year and four months. The cause of their break-up was not divulged, but some netizens quickly jumped to conclusions. Some people claimed that a third party might have been involved.

A fitness model was dragged into the controversy. Aya Tubillo shared a selfie with Derek on IG, and this caused some netizens to speculate if she’s the actor’s newfound love interest.

Even singer Pops Fernandez was not safe from the prying eyes of the critics, and she was even mistaken as Derek’s new girlfriend.

It all stemmed from a video greeting that Pops prepared for Derek’s mom way back in November. Since then, some netizens gave a shrewd meaning with this video, and claimed that Pops seems to be close with Derek’s family.

But in a recent interview with Philippine Entertainment Portal, the icon finally cleared the matter once and for all.

“It’s okay to ask about it because it’s absolutely not true. I just don’t wanna talk about it because I felt Derek and Andrea are not really talking about it. Ang weird naman na ako yung magsasalita, right? Anyway, hindi po siya totoo. How it started, hindi ko rin po alam,” says Pops during a virtual press conference for her upcoming musical show with Martin Nievera.

According to Pops, since the rumors started, she was plagued with messages and comments on social media. Even some of her close friends from the United States sent her a private message, eager to know if the rumors were indeed true. What’s worse is Pops doesn’t even have an idea on how they all started.

The singer was also disturbed after seeing videos on Youtube, discussing how she might be Derek’s new girlfriend. She also urged the netizens to be more mindful in what they hear and see on social media. At the end of the day, it pays to know the truth.

“How it started, again, I don’t know. But unfortunately, ang masakit noon, ang dali palang maniwala ng mga tao ngayon! I mean, once it’s posted in Youtube and sunod sunod na, parang no one really bothered to find out the truth about it. Hindi po totoo,” clarified the singer-performer.
