The rider who was believed to be the cause of a Moto vlogger’s demise last weekend was now being investigated by the authorities.

According to the reports, the rider, who was captured doing a dangerous stunt along Marilaque Highway in Rizal, was now in the hospital and receiving medical treatment for mild injuries.

Members of Rizal PNP also visited the rider as part of their investigation.

The rider may face multiple charges, which include reckless imprudence resulting in homicide, damage to property, and physical injuries.

According to some frequent visitors of Marilaque, the rider was known for doing dangerous stunts every week on the highway and even tried to evade the authorities several times.

It can be recalled that the rider rammed a crowd of tourists after he overshot and ended up at the road barrier.

He also sideswiped the moto vlogger identified as John Louie Arguelles, which resulted in the latter passing away.

Arguelles left his 3-year-old child fatherless.

Marilaque was considered one of the most dangerous highways in the Philippines but also one of the most visited by motorcycle riders who wanted to challenge themselves in traversing sharp curves.

As of writing, the Rizal Provincial Government has yet to give their comment on how they would ensure that the incident will not happen again.

 The family of the security guard has now put forward two possible motives for the death of 37-year-old Arnold Caballes.

One can recall that Caballes was the one who pleaded with the gunman to spare him since he was taking care of the child.

His live-in partner, Dolly Malalu-an, stated that he actually went out to secure rice for their neighbor, who was trying to "borrow" rice from them.

She also said that there are two possible motives.

She revealed in iFM Bacolod 943 that the day before the victim was shot, he had a dispute with someone over a sold piece of wood that is for furniture, wherein there was a piece of wood that was cut, which was not actually included in the purchase.

Another possible motive was a conflict with the CAFGU member, who has actually been chatting with Dolly, but the latter was ignoring said CAFGU member.

Maris Racal, a well-known female celebrity, has just been dropped as an ambassador of the brand, DAZZLE ME Philippines, in an official statement.

On Thursday, December 5, DAZZLE ME took to their Instagram, @dazzleme_ph, to release an official statement about ending their partnership.

The statement was posted amid Maris being entangled with recent controversies and allegations.

"At Dazzle Me, we have always been about inclusivity, authenticity, and making the right choices even when they're tough or uncomfortable," they began.

The brand then continued that after much thoughtful consideration, they had made the difficult decision to end the partnership with the Kapamilya star.

"After thoughtful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to end our partnership with Maris Racal. Working with her has been an amazing journey—her energy, humor, and authenticity resonated deeply with our vision of a bold and inspiring Gen Z icon. However, we determing that moving in a different direction is necessary to remain consistent with the principles that guide our brand," Dazzle Me said in an official statement online.

Earlier, in September of this year, Dazzle Me announced Maris as its first-ever brand ambassador.

Vice Ganda, in a recent video post on Kapamilya Online World Alerts (@kowalerts)'s TikTok page, was seen boarding and riding the new and ultra high-tech Tesla Cybertruck.

The vehicle, which is powered by a modern electric motor and a set of 48V lithium-ion low voltage batteries, could be considered a luxury car or truck because of its price tag of a whooping P17.5M.

It wasn’t entirely clear if Vice bought the vehicle because aside from third-party sources, the actress-comedienne and TV host wasn’t able to post anything about the said car on any of her social media accounts as of this time.

However, she did post on her Facebook account some video footages of her inspecting the vehicles of “It’s Showtime” co-hosts Jugs, Teddy, and Karylle.
