This article highlights prominent Filipino personalities who dominated the news in 2024. It focuses on their impactful stories, including the controversial case of dismissed mayor Alice Guo and the historic Olympic victories of gymnast Carlos Yulo.
Clockwise from left: Vice President Sara Duterte, former Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo , Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo , detained mother Mary Jane Veloso, and televangelist Apollo Quiboloy. A handful of personalities hogged the headlines this year whether through hearings that lasted for hours on end or victories that were decided within minutes. They accounted for a large portion of the news cycles stretching from January to December.
Guo was memorable not just for her soundbites about forgetting or growing up on a farm, but for her actions such as escaping to Indonesia before eventually being captured, and then posing for photos in spite of the situation. Unfortunately, the athlete’s family drama also figured in the spotlight, bringing much unwanted negative attention to Yulo, partner Chloe San Jose, his parents, and his siblings.Kingdom of Jesus Christ founder Apollo Quiboloy is now detained at the Pasig City Jail after a two-week search operation in his Davao City compound between August and September led to his surrender.
It’s a particularly controversial year for Duterte, who also had a public falling-out with Marcos, whom she ran with in the 2022 elections as part of the UniTeam electoral alliance.
