Fifth Solomon cries out after bullying
Photo Inside Page Actor, director, and content creator Fifth Solomon is reclaiming his power after facing a fresh wave of online hate. In a raw and defiant post, he confronted the slurs and judgments hurled his way. 'Retokada. Flop. Baliw. Mental Hospital. DDS. Incerun. Too fem.' Fifth wrote on his Facebook. 'Call me names. Laugh all you want. I've heard worse. Survived worse,' he wrote, opening up about a life built without privilege or protection. 'I grew up with no blueprint, no guidance, no safety net. So I taught myself how to fight, how to bite back.' 'Truth is, we all like to play clean but live dirty. Most of us enjoy watching others fall. Let's not pretend.' Fifth also wrote about getting home from a hospital following a mental breakdown. "I'm okay now. I'm in the ER with my sister. Balitang inaaaaa! I had a mental breakdown because of online bullying. Thanks to all the people who reached out. I am going to release a statement tomorrow," Fifth wrote on Monday. A previous post from Fifth showed a screenshot of him responding to a comment asking about his political views. "I don't want to explain myself to people I don't know, but if you want an answer, no I'm not DDS I'm not also kakampink. I'm just pretty." Solomon first entered the public spotlight in 2014, as a housemate on Pinoy Big Brother: All In, alongside his twin brother Fourth. In 2018, he made his directorial debut with Nakalimutan Ko Nang Kalimutan Ka, a romantic drama starring Alex Gonzaga. Since then, he's appeared in various television shows and films, taking on both comedic and dramatic roles. Over the years, his transition as a young LGBTQ+ creative, along with his decision to undergo several cosmetic procedures, has been the subject of public scrutiny.

Bea Sacramento exits 'The Clash' but says she will not stop singing
Baguio City Clashbacker Bea Sacramento has become the latest hopeful to leave 'The Clash.' As her 'The Clash' journey ends once again, Bea admitted she was sad, but 'that doesn't mean na titigil nanaman ako. Hindi.' Bea cited judge Christian Bautista's comment to a fellow contestant about how 'Sa lahat ng bagay, may competition palagi, so kailangan ready ako.' 'Thank you pa rin kasi ang laking opportunity nito para sa 'kin," Bea said. "At least, na-i-showcase ko sa lahat na ito na 'yung Bea na inaabangan ng lahat. Ito na 'yung Bea na more character, ibang iba sa dati.' Bea previously competed in Season 1 but was eliminated early. The livestreamer and band singer is aware she made a lot of people happy with her second stint on 'The Clash,' which makes her thankful for the opportunity. 'Hindi mo kailangan matawag na grand champion sa competition para lang matawag na success ka,' she said. 'You can be successful in other ways.' Looking back, Bea said she had to prepare a lot because the new clashers and Clashbackers were all so great. 'Hindi pwedeng lalamya-lamya ka kasi puksaan pala talaga dito sa 'The Clash.' 'Yan 'yung mga na-realize ko before ako sumali this season kaya talagang nag-prepare din ako nang bongga.' She added, 'Takot ako nung Season 1 kasi ang dami talagang magagaling. Parang hindi ako naniniwala sa sarili ko, sa sarili kong talent, sa boses ko.' But years later, and during her time on 'The Clash 2025,' Bea had learned so much more about singing that she was able to develop her own style. 'Kaya nung babalik akong 'The Clash,' finally, makikita nila 'yung bagong Bea.' Bea said her biggest achievement was making her supporters happy. 'Nung Round 1, [naisip ko] sana talaga manalo ako kasi ayokong masayang 'yung pagpunta nila, 'yung pag-suporta nila sa 'kin kasi syempre galing pa silang Baguio,' she said. In a previous interview with GMA News Online, she compared her "The Clash" experience to Journey's 'Don't Stop Believing.' 'Ako, naniniwala ako na, hindi lang ayun 'yung kaya kong gawin," she said. "Naniniwala pa rin ako sa sarili ko na I can do more.' Following her exit, Bea took to social media to thank "The Clash" for the opportunity. "No regrets on joining this competition again. Mahal ko kayong lahat, maraming salamat sa mga sumuporta," she added. 'The Clash' airs at 7:15 p.m. on Sundays only on GMA Network. —JCB/LA, GMA Integrated News
