In a shocking turn of events, Pia Wurtzbach’s glam team, Justin Soriano and Jeck Aguilar, found themselves at the center of controversy.
They were reportedly denied boarding not once but twice on their journey to Dubai on January 23. The incident fueled speculations and raised eyebrows in the showbiz circuit.
The duo wasn’t en route to Paris for Fashion Week, as earlier speculated; instead, they were headed to Dubai to reunite with Pia, who was visiting her husband Jeremy Jauncey.
Both Soriano and Aguilar, accompanied by their assistant Khino Ocenar and Pia’s road manager Cheska Summer, faced rejection at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport. The denial, as reported by “Dubai API” (Advance Passenger Information), left the entire team in a state of shock.
Amidst this tumultuous incident, social media influencer Heart Evangelista, who had a public falling out with Soriano and Aguilar, stirred the pot with a cryptic Instagram post featuring a book titled “Don’t give the enemy a seat at your table.” Heart’s caption, “Not today ⛔️,” only added to the mystery surrounding the issue.
A day later, Heart released a vlog titled “INDONESIA AND SINGAPORE 2023 UNSCRIPTED,” where, at the 1:00:30 mark, she candidly discussed past traumas with her current team. Without naming names, Heart lamented about individuals who had allegedly “destroyed” her inner joy and bubbly demeanor. The internet began connecting dots, speculating a potential connection between Heart’s cryptic post and the denied boarding incident.
The rumors surfaced after Heart’s falling out with the two, with speculation about financial matters and a supposedly maxed-out credit card. While Soriano denied the credit card claims, the exact reason behind their falling out remained undisclosed.
