[edit] Piolo's Father was not German

Sorry to pop people's foreign blood worshipping bubble, but Piolo Pascual's father was not German, his father was only of PARTIAL German ancestry. If you say "Piolo's father was German", that should mean that he's a Caucasian who speaks German, his father speaks Tagalog and is a Filipino of only partial German ancestry. Just ask any member of his family, and watch the DVD of his concert special, it's all there.

--Question: When people find out that his Fathers "NOT" German, will they stop liking him? It seems in the Philippines, they seem to hate themselves and there culture and love everyone thats remotely NOT Filipino. Piolo is a great actor regardless that he isn't half like alot people wish he was. By the way, the reason why people like to say his fathers German is just to put him in the new category of foreign talent in the Philippines, i.e. Sam, Gerald, Bea, Anne. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.243.164.60 (talk) 01:45, 1 November 2007 (UTC)


actually saying his farther is German means his farther is a German citizen (not necessarily exclusively a German citizenship as the Philippines recognizes dual citizenships) NOT that he's a German speaking Caucasian. I guess the debate is about the catagory the article is in, since we can't reference the citizenship question i guess it should not be categorized as a German-Filipino article but i don't feel so strongly about it that i'm going to remove the category myself harlock_jds (talk) 19:41, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bias

I thought articles were supposed to be objective, not laudatory. This sort of reporting is bound to spoil Wikipedia's reputation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bernard Macdougall (talk • contribs) 2007-07-25T00:59:46

You can help make it neutral. --bluemask (talk) 05:49, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dismissal of Libel case

I added this as sequel to the Wiki edit regarding these 2 guy's plea for justice. Reconciliation - Not it ended: The libel case was dismissed on May 14, 2008, after Lolit Solis' affidavit retracted her tabloid story allegedly depicting actors Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby as “gay men.” Pascual and Milby fied with Judge Jose Mendoza, Manila Regional Trial Court, Branch 55, the affidavit of desistance to officially withdraw the case.www.gmanews.tv/video, Saksi: Libel case vs Lolit Solis dropped, 05/14/2008newsinfo.inquirer.net, Piolo, Sam drop case vs Lolit --Florentino floro (talk) 09:15, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I took out all mention (in the article) of the libel suit as well as the original tabloid allegations that led to the suit, per wp:blp. The suit has been dropped, the original charges that were potentially libelous have been retracted, there is no reason to try to keep the controversy alive by keeping details here. maxsch (talk) 17:49, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
DENIED for utter violation of Wiki Rules, specifically:[1] "Remove unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material Editors should remove any contentious material about living persons that is unsourced, relies upon sources that do not meet standards specified in Wikipedia:Verifiability, or is a conjectural interpretation of a source (see Wikipedia:No original research)." Why should you remove or delete my contribution, on the controversy case? I had been here and contributed more than 3,700 edits. I had hundreds of experiences on editing legal controversies of Presidents, Senators, and actors, Philippines and abroad. When you removed the controversy about these actors, just because it was settled, dismissed or otherwise terminated, that is against Wiki rules of neutrality. You are making it appear that the article's subject actor had no case. Besides, you are not a lawyer. I am, and here in the Philippines, like in USA, like this one I edited Same-sex marriage in California‎, the decision is not final until after the lapse of 30 days. And in this case, P 12 million libel suit, is very notable, and removing it would be like in the case of Queen Beatrix and Vatican who were caught by the Wiki scanner of editing their own articles. The RTC had not even acted on the Motion by the parties Lolit, Sam and Milby, since the Public Prosecutor must sign the conformity. I myself was fined P 40,000 because of a similar accusation alleging the Prosecutor had not confirmed the parties settlement. So, the case is not yet finished. And even if finished it must stay since the sources I submitted are reliable. You are misleading the discussion by citing the fact of tabloid. The libel was published in the tabloid, but the case and its current events were not reported by me per tabloid but by top verifiable links. You continously violated the Wiki rules. I have to revert this to preserve the neutrality of the article. --Florentino floro (talk) 06:59, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
I agree that the case and the circumstances around it should be a part of the article and think the correct writeup in the article is a good one (not too much extra detail, just the facts). The fact that this was a court case pushed this beyond just a tabloid report (which would violate BLP) harlock_jds (talk) 13:41, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
