“Please Guys!!! Dont!!! Please Share!!!!!!”
Screenshots shared alongside his warning appeared to show a Telegram account using the name “Jojo Bragais” while discussing a supposed movie project and casting process. The conversation reportedly involved a potential victim asking for more information about the project and attempting to contact the person behind the account.
“anong movie po pala yun boss, pwde napo ba malaman..." the victim asked.
The alleged scammer then claimed that the supposed project was a major film featuring Kapamilya actress and social media personality Ivana Alawi.
“Big film siya with ivana alawi. Entry ng philippines for film festival," the scammer replied.
The account also appeared to reassure the potential victim about the supposed opportunity before encouraging him to perform well during the casting.
“Good tf din siya so don’t worry”
“He just need to do his best sa casting call."
The conversation ended with the potential victim expressing excitement over the supposed opportunity.
“wooow kaka excite boss”
Bragais later explained in a reel how the scammer was allegedly presenting the opportunity to people, including claims that he was referring aspiring talents to a director for a film involving Ivana.
"Guys mayroong nang-i-scam sa Telegram na nangpapanggap na Jojo Bragais, ang sinasabi ay inirereto ko raw para sa isang direktor ng isang film na kasama si Ms Ivana Alawi. And then magkakaroon ng casting sa video,” Bragais warned through a video.
According to Bragais, the alleged scammer also instructed people auditioning to perform themselves on video as part of the supposed casting process.
He reiterated that he has no involvement in the offer and clarified that he is not currently producing a film. Bragais encouraged the public to remain cautious, particularly when dealing with unsolicited casting offers that request money, videos, or personal information.

In another report, Kara David took home three recognitions at the recent FAMAS Broadcast Arts Awards, one of which was the Best Host for Public Service honor that she shared with Ivana Alawi. The veteran journalist stressed that public service should be centered on genuinely helping others instead of seeking personal praise or recognition. Her statement came amid online conversations about whether journalists and content creators should have separate award categories. Kara also received recognition for her podcast “i-Listen” and her i-Witness documentary “Embalsamador de Motor,” and said she remains committed to doing better in her future work.
Meanwhile, Ogie Diaz looked back on his previous decision to promote online gámbling and admitted that he now regrets taking part in such endorsements. The talent manager explained that he felt uneasy promoting an activity he did not personally engage in, especially after hearing accounts of people who struggled with gámbling addiction. He mentioned content creator Gabe Pineda’s experience as one of the stories that made him reconsider his stance. Ogie said that despite continuing to receive offers, he has chosen to turn down gámbling-related endorsement opportunities.
