Cristopher Diwata, the guy behind 'What hafen, Vella?' to guest on ‘Unang Hirit' on May 27
Cristopher Diwata, the viral guy behind the iconic line "What hafen Vella' will be appearing on 'Unang Hirit' on Tuesday!
On social media Monday, GMA Public Affairs shared a short clip of Cristopher recreating his legendary 'What hafen Vella?' line as he shared that he will guest on the Kapuso morning show.
'What hafen Vella? What you watching again? I know, 'UH' right? Ayon abangan niyo po ako bukas sa 'Unang Hirit!' he said in the video.
In 2013, Cristopher joined the "It's Showtime" segment "Kalokalike" as Taylor Lautner's "Twilight" character, Jacob Black, where he performed the now-viral line.
Over a decade later, Cristopher's clip resurfaced, causing him to go viral again and stamp his place in the Philippine internet's hall of fame for memes.
TikTok users, as well as celebrities have been dubbing and recreating his iconic lines: "What hafen, Vella? Why you cryin' again? I know, vampire, right? Vampire will feyt to me."
Since then, Cristopher has collaborated with several brands and Filipino artists, such as Ben&Ben, SB19, and Sparkle star Michael Sager.

Alden Richards on Men Who Matter 2025 trophy: 'Parang nagbubunga 'yung works ko behind the camera'
Alden Richards is among the recipients of the Men Who Matter 2025 by PeopleAsia magazine, and for the Kapuso star, the honor serves as motivation for him to keep pursuing his passions and advocacy work. In Aubrey Carampel's report on "24 Oras" Wednesday, the Asia's Multimedia Star shared that he is now in the "legacy building stage" of his life. "Sarap lang sa pakiramdam kasi parang nagbubunga lahat 'yung mga works ko behind the camera," he said. "I'm in my legacy building stage and the question every day that pops in my head is, 'How do you want to be remembered by the people around you?' And that's the reason why I keep on doing what I'm doing." Alden had made his directorial debut in "Out of Order," which premiered at the Da Nang Asian Film Festival in June. The passionate cyclist also recently finished his first-ever gravel cycling race, an experience he called "humbling." "Ang sarap lang sa pakiramdam na the only thing that matters to me that time was, of course safety is number one, but it was just me, the bike, the terrain, and the finish line. Ang saya, uultiin ko 'yun." And in July, he enrolled in a flight school. Of his aviation journey, he said, "The reason why it's happening to me right now is alam ni Lord one way or another that I'm gonna be able to finish that. I'm taking it one step at a time. Wala akong minamadali." Alden currently balances all these while serving as host of the Kapuso reality dance competition "Stars on the Floor." Per Alden, the people in the show all got to build solid relationships with each other. "Now that we're reaching almost the end, 'di pa po tapos mga Kapuso pero almost the end, medyo may konting melancholic feeling lang, but kaya naman. Malay mo Season 2 no?" "Stars on the Floor" airs on GMA Network every Saturday at 7:15 p.m. —CDC, GMA Integrated News

Heart Evangelista unbothered by fashion bashers: 'I'm not really affected'
Heart Evangelista remains unbothered about the negative comments being thrown her way regarding fashion. At GCash's event Tuesday in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, the Global Fashion Icon said people will always have something negative to say, but she does not mind them. "You can bash me with anything, but that part [fashion], I'm not really affected," she said. "If I want to throw in something that totally doesn't match, but I feel good, it will automatically look good," she added. "That's how I believe." Nevertheless, Heart is grateful that Filipinos are active on social media because of their witty comments on her posts. "I'm thankful that Filipinos are so active on socials, a good thing and a bad thing, because it really helps," she said. Heart was among the Kapuso celebrities who lit up the blue carpet of the GMA Gala 2025 earlier in August. She turned heads in a couture Schiaparelli gown from the Fall 2023 collection. The piece featured multicolored hand-painted fabric from neck to hem. Before the GMA Gala 2025, Heart attended the fourth State of the Nation Address of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. —CDC, GMA Integrated News

During the question-and-answer portion of 'Pinoy Big Brother: The Big ColLove' concert on Sunday, the P-pop sensations picked Vince Maristela and AZ Martinez as the Kapuso housemates they would want to be paired with. 'Si Vince kasi, sa loob ng bahay, hindi kami masyadong napag-usap kasi saglit lang din kami doon pero kasi may mga jokes siya na binubulong niya na lang. At least ngayon nalalabas niya na, di ba?' Jhoanna said. Explaining why she chose AZ, Stacey explained 'Kasi gandang-ganda talaga ako kay AZ noong nasa loob kami ng bahay. Sobrang hinhin niya tapos very princess vibes din siya sa loob ng bahay. So hi, AZ!' Jhoanna and Stacey entered Bahay ni Kuya as house guests. During their stay, they grew close to Michael Sager, Emilio Daez, and Will Ashley, forming a friend group they called JHOSMIOW. Meanwhile, Vince was evicted in the edition's first individual nomination. He was evicted alongside Kapamilya star Xyriel Manabat. AZ, on the other hand, finished as the fourth big placer alongside her Kapamilya duo River Joseph. — LA, GMA Integrated News
