Harold Alarcon Denies Romantic Connection with Jude Bacalso
HAROLD ALARCON – The University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons guard has firmly denied any connection with the controversial LGBT writer Jude Bacalso. The rumors began circulating after Jude posted a photo of Harold on his Instagram page, accompanied by a heartbroken emoji.
This post may have led to the creation of fake accounts impersonating Jude to falsely link him with Harold. Recently, an impostor shared a post on social media that included Harold’s photo, prompting many netizens to question Harold about the post’s authenticity.
In response, Harold issued a statement denying any relationship with Jude. “Roma Mae lang po jowa ko. Stop spreading wrong information. Thanks, boss,” he said. It is unclear whether Harold was aware that the post came from an impostor rather than Jude himself.

Meanwhile, Jude Bacalso, a controversial travel writer and member of the LGBT community, made headlines after allegedly punishing a waiter identified as R-Jay Marcilla. Bacalso purportedly forced the waiter to stand for two hours after being addressed as “sir.” Bacalso has since issued an apology, but some netizens did not accept his explanation, claiming that he did not demand that the waiter stand the entire time; rather, the waiter volunteered to do so.

Apparently, the issue has turned into a blessing in disguise for the waiter, who continues to receive job offers both locally and abroad. In fact, a businessman is offering him a supervisor position at a salon or in travel and tours. A job opportunity abroad also awaits the waiter. However, the waiter has yet to respond to these offers as well as the ongoing issue.
Several celebrities, including Ogie Diaz, MJ Lastimosa, RR Enriquez, Kaladkaren, and social media personality Tito Mars, have reacted to the issue. Most of them condemn Bacalso for his treatment of the waiter.
