Meanwhile, Neil wasn’t afraid to show off his feelings for Angel. On an Instagram post, he says: “My 2017…2018..2019… and sabi nga niya pag galingan ko… my forever… Don’t worry gagalingan ko!!! I Love you.” The poker master is evidently smitten and we’re all for it.

While the couple may not be ‘official’ just yet, fans have shown their support for Angel’s newfound love– and hopefully, it’s the everlasting one.

K-pop Band ‘JBJ’ to visit Manila for the first time

This may sound new to some Filipino Korean-pop fans, but the band ‘JBJ’ is a South Korean project of six members that are making their way up to become more than just another K-pop boy band.

So far, the group has a record of selling out their tickets and albums in a flash– like minutes-fast. And for their 2018, Manila Bulletin reports that they will be coming over to greet Filipino fans. In the report, JBJ member Noh Tae Hyun announces in a group video message: “To the many fans that have given us, JBJ, a lot of love, we are very thankful to you. For we, JBJ, are finally having our first fan meeting in Manila.”

Fans better not miss this chance because by the time the year ends, they might just have a hard time getting their autographs.
