Boss Toyo has officially launched his Pinoy Pawnstars Gallery in Quezon City, which features prized possessions sold to him by some of the country's prominent personalities and showbiz stars.
On Monday's episode of "Unang Hirit," Rabiya Mateo was shown as the host of the gallery's launch, where she said that if she ever sells something for a good cause, it would be her beauty queen sashes.
Among the event's guests were Diana Zubiri and her husband, Andy Smith, who saw a recreated "Encantadia" prop as part of the gallery. Diana starred in the 2005 original "Encantadia" series as Danaya.

In 2023, Francis M's alleged lover, Abegail Rait, and her daughter sold Boss Toyo a jersey allegedly worn by The King of Pinoy Rap and a photo with a written letter dedicated to her for P500,000.
"Pinoy Pawnstars" is Boss Toyo's YouTube series, where celebrities sell some of their valuable memorabilia. Diana, Niño Muhlach, and Jiro Manio were among the stars who appeared on the show. —AOL, GMA Integrated News

Do Mika Salamanca, Brent Manalo feel pressure as Big Winner duo?

Fresh from clinching their victory on "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition," do Mika Salamanca and Brent Manalo feel any pressure carrying their title as Big Winner duo? On BreKa's guesting on Monday's episode of "It's Showtime," Mika said that there is indeed pressure to have the title to her name. "Meron talaga kasi especially hindi ko rin talaga in-expect 'yung welcome ng tao," she said. "Ngayon kasi, para kang may inaalagaan na expectation ng mga tao sa'yo and s'yempre, being a Big Winner is a huge thing," she added. As for Brent, he intends to use the Big Winner title to have a bigger platform to become a role model for the youth. "And [para] mas mag-serve na inspirasyon na huwag tumigil pagdating sa pangarap," he said. Meanwhile, when asked about their willingness to trade their spot with Shuvee Etrata and Klarisse de Guzman when ShuKla was evicted, BreKa said it was an easy decision despite Kuya not allowing their request. "Kung ibibigay mo sa kanila, hindi ka masasaktan kasi deserve din talaga [nila]," Mika said. "Sa haba po nang pinagsamahan namin, parang pamilya na po talaga kami doon," Brent added. "'Di ba 'pag family, you're willing to do anything? Kaya bukas talaga kami magbigay." "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" is getting a second season later this year. The 20 housemates of the first edition are set to reunite at an event titled "The Big ColLOVE" on August 10, 8 p.m., at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. More details, including ticket prices, will be revealed soon. —Hermes Joy Tunac/MGP, GMA Integrated News

Kenneth Cobonpue recalls taking art classes with kids after failing UP Diliman talent exam

Kenneth Cobonpue is no stranger to recognition — the Pratt Institute Legend Award and the first-ever Gawad CCP Para sa Sining Award for Design are just among the accolades he's received in recent years — and he is no stranger, still, to failure, including failing the talent exam for the University of the Philippines Diliman's Fine Arts program. In GMA Integrated News' "Power Talks with Pia Arcangel," the great Filipino industrial designer looked back on the time he applied to the UP College of Fine Arts after realizing in the middle of his accounting class that business was not for him. "I went and applied to the Fine Arts program, I went to UP Diliman, because I wanted to study industrial design... So, I went over there and there was a talent exam and I failed because I couldn't draw," he said. Cobonpue shared that he attended a Jesuit school prior, "There was no emphasis on art, it was like science and math, so I couldn't draw." Determined to pursue industrial design, he took a whole year off afterward and enrolled in art classes just to learn how to draw and paint. "I remember my classmates were like kids, just learning to draw, so it was very humbling," he said, noting he was around 18 to 19 years old this time. "I took art classes again because that was a prerequisite for any design school," he added. A year after, Cobonpue went on to study at the Pratt Institute in New York, where he earned a degree in industrial design in 1991. Known for his handmade designs that rethink form and function, Cobonpue would later be named the first Asian Pratt Legend by his alma mater for his contributions to the design industry. During the "Power Talks" episode, the world-class designer also talked about Brad Pitt, who he lists among his wide range of clients aside from some of the world's royals, and shared about decking the entire set of Hollywood film "Ocean's Thirteen" (2007) with Cobonpue pieces. "That was with Warner Brothers. They chose a few pieces, we sent them our catalogue, and then they ended up furnishing the entire set with our pieces, which they've never done before. They normally don't pick it from one manufacturer," he said. Watch the full episode below. —CDC, GMA Integrated News

Barbie Forteza on breakup with Jak Roberto: 'Not as painful'

Barbie Forteza admitted her breakup with Jak Roberto wasn't as painful as some people painted it to be. The Kapuso Primetime Princess appeared in Toni Gonzaga's recent vlog episode, where she opened up about her breakup with the Kapuso actor earlier this year. When asked how she healed from their seven-year relationship, Barbie said 'Masaya, smooth. Yung transition, it wasn't as painful as some people painted it to be.' 'It's not as painful. It wasn't actually,' she added. According to Barbie, the healing process was proof of how healthy their relationship was. 'It just goes to show how healthy the relationship was. Tiningnan namin siya as for the growth din talaga ng bawat isa,' Barbie shared, adding that their relationship had 'a good run' and that they 'were very happy.' In the interview, she also shared the lessons she learned from their relationship such as the importance of having 'me time.' 'Kahit na may karelasyon ka, always make time for yourself. Always make time to spend it with yourself. Magkaroon ka ng me time,' Barbie said. Emphasizing the importance of having 'me time,' the 'Beauty Empire 'star shared that spending time alone allows you to build your own identity, understand yourself better outside the relationship and grow as an individual. Since announcing her breakup from Jak in January, Barbie has been keeping herself busy with self-care dates, bonding moments with friends and family, and working on new projects. She's even taken up running. She is set to star in 'Beauty Empire' which will have its primetime debut on July 7. Watch Barbie on Toni Gonzaga's vlog. — Jade Veronique Yap/LA, GMA Integrated News
