Ai-Ai delas Alas Urges Coffee Chain to Post Clear ‘No Pets' Sign After Rainy Day Mix-up
In a Facebook post on July 19, Ai-Ai shared that she had entered a Starbucks branch with her small dog inside a pet stroller. They were allowed to order and stay inside for about 20 to 30 minutes before a staff member informed her of the store's no-pets policy.
She said she was unaware of the restriction, and by the time they were asked to leave, it had already started raining. Ai-Ai clarified she understood the policy but suggested the store improve its signage, especially at entrances, to avoid confusion in the future.
'It would be helpful not only for pet owners like me but also for your staff who have to enforce the rule,' she wrote, adding that a sign saying 'No Pets Allowed (Except Service Animals)' would go a long way.
The actress emphasized that her dog was secured and behaved, and her main concern was the lack of visible notice, especially during unpredictable weather.

Janella Salvador linked to breakup of Klea Pineda and Katrice Kierulf
Kapamilya actress-singer Janella Salvador is currently trending on social media after being linked to the recent breakup of Kapuso actress Klea Pineda and internet personality Katrice Kierulf. During her guest appearance on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda last Friday, July 18, 2025, Klea confirmed that her more than three-year same-sex relationship with Katrice has ended. She said they broke up a month ago, describing it as a mutual decision, as they were no longer helping each other grow. When asked if cheating was involved, Klea firmly denied it. 'Sobrang proud akong sabihin yon na no. Hindi ko kayang gawin yon kay Kat. Kasi masyado kong mahal si Kat… so no,' she said. Despite the denial of infidelity, online speculation intensified after screenshots went viral showing Katrice liking comments on TikTok and Facebook that implied cheating. One netizen commented on a TikTok video posted by Katrice on July 19, saying, ''Follow na kita kase wala na yung cheater.' While Katrice didn't respond, she liked the comment. Another user directly asked, 'Si Janella S. po ba?' Katrice liked that comment too, along with another that read, 'Once you like it Katkat, then confirm na si JS nga yung other party.' One netizen also claimed to have seen Janella and Klea together in Bonifacio Global City the previous week, before news of the breakup surfaced. Both actresses are part of the upcoming Cinemalaya film Open Endings, along with Jasmine Curtis-Smith and OPM singer Leanne Mamonong. Janella has been open about her support for the LGBTQIA+ community, which has led to repeated speculation about her sexuality. However, she has never publicly confirmed or denied anything about her orientation. As of now, Salvador has yet to issue a statement regarding the controversy.

Royal Jordanian post goes viral with play on Coldplay concert CEO-HR scandal
Royal Jordanian Airlines has decided to go beyond 'joining the conversation' to 'own the conversation', after the CEO-HR scandal took the social media meme world by storm. The controversy – involving the married CEO of Astronomer Andy Byron inadvertently caught cosying up with his Head of HR Kristin Cabot on the jumbotron 'kiss camera' at the Coldplay concert in Foxborough, Massachusetts – resulted in software startup company Astronomer sharing a LinkedIn post that 'Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted.' In collaboration with Jordan-based creative agency Adpro& Group, the Royal Jordanian Airlines turned this global controversy into a standout creative moment. The idea was simple: Astronomer was suddenly looking for a new CEO. So, Royal Jordanian decided to help. But instead of adding another meme to the pile, it offered something more useful — a super sale fare from Amman to the United States for anyone interested in applying for the job. The post read: 'There's a CEO vacancy in the USA. Fly to Apply. Amman – New York starting at JD 499.' And it closed with a cheeky final line: 'Our Wings… Your Cold Play.' With zero production budget and zero media spend, the post took off. In less than 24 hours, it reached more than 700,000 people organically, generated 7,500 shares across platforms, and became the brand's highest-performing organic post in more than five years. The audience reaction was instant and overwhelmingly positive. With 96 percent positive sentiment across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, Royal Jordanian was praised for its speed, with and cultural relevance. 'Whoever runs the marketing team in RJ needs a raise.' 'You beat Ryanair this time with the creativity. Well played.' 'Whoever is behind this — genius. Deserves a medal.' 'Not gonna lie, RJ's marketing game is strong.' 'What an ad. Best marketing shot I've ever seen.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Royal Jordanian (@royaljordanian) Commenting on the creative approach to the trend, Karim Makhlouf, Chief Marketing Officer, Royal Jordanian Airlines, said, 'This moment shows how important agility is in today's digital landscape. When a brand can respond quickly, with the right tone and cultural awareness, it becomes part of the conversation rather than just observing it. We're proud of how the team turned a trending moment into a smart, relevant piece of content that resonated across the region.' The post quickly gained traction beyond the general public. It was picked up and shared by prominent public figures, influencers, and media personalities, amplifying its reach even further and reinforcing its viral status. Rizek Jildeh, Head of Strategy, Adpro& Group, said, 'The simplicity of the idea, the execution, and the impact it generated all prove that scale and reach don't always require a budget. With the right social listening and cultural awareness, a timely, well-placed idea can drive massive share of voice — even with minimal, or in this case, zero spend.' Mohammad Al-Nazer, Senior Art Director, Adpro& Group, added, 'This was one of those opportunities that was just too obvious to ignore. It was right there, we had to jump on it. Creatively, it needed to feel raw and real. Nothing overly polished. The goal was to strike the perfect balance between a meme and a branded piece of content.' Adpro& has been Royal Jordanian's creative agency of record since January 2024, leading on creative, brand and communication strategy. Media is managed through Adpro& OMD. The agency has supported Royal Jordanian's transformation journey, and aims to continue helping to shape the airline's voice for a new era.
