The world of Philippine entertainment has been violently torn apart by a highly personal and deeply public feud between two veteran personalities: actor and former television host Anjo Yllana and comedian Allan K. What began as a simmering political disagreement has escalated into a full-blown war, with Anjo Yllana unleashing a torrent of alleged secrets and accusations that have not only tarnished Allan K’s reputation but have dragged a highly respected sports figure, James Yap, into the chaotic crossfire.

This dramatic confrontation, unfolded during a social media live, represents a painful public rupture between men who were once known as “The Barkads”—the tight-knit group of hosts from the iconic noontime show Eat Bulaga. Yllana, now estranged from many of his former colleagues, has adopted a scorched-earth policy, making it clear that any criticism will be met with a devastating retaliatory exposé, proving that in showbiz and politics, personal alliances are fragile and secrets are potent weapons.

The Political Spark: Anjo’s Senatoriable Ambition
The root of this brutal exchange was the intersection of entertainment and politics—specifically, Anjo Yllana’s expressed political ambition to run for senator. Yllana, who now goes by the moniker “Kuya Sen” among his supporters, took offense when Allan K allegedly weighed in negatively on his candidacy. According to reports, Allan K was quoted as saying, “Huwag ka ng dumagdag sa sakit ng ulo ng Pilipino” (Don’t add to the headache of the Filipino people).

This dismissive comment, publicly directed at Yllana’s political aspirations, was taken as a profound personal slight, viewed by Yllana as a betrayal from a former colleague. Yllana immediately fired back, not with a political rebuttal, but with a chilling challenge that promised a more personal form of vengeance: “Siraan mo ako Kwentuhan kita Yan!” (Slander me? I’ll tell stories about you!). This set the stage for a spectacular public unraveling of Allan K’s alleged “baho” (dirty laundry).

The Financial Betrayal: The Sira Pala Lincoln Navigator
Yllana’s first volley was a deeply personal story of financial dispute and alleged betrayal concerning a luxury vehicle, a Lincoln Navigator SUV. Yllana recounted his grievance, detailing a purchase that left him feeling cheated and resentful.

He claimed that Allan K sold him the massive SUV for an incredibly high price, allegedly around P2.6 million (though Yllana asked for correction, settling on his purchase price of P2.4 million). The true source of Yllana’s “masama loob” (ill feelings) was the shocking discovery that the vehicle was allegedly “sira pala” (already broken). Yllana recounted an exchange with Allan K’s personal assistant after the sale, who allegedly admitted, “Naku dapat mo na binili yan sirain ‘yan” (You shouldn’t have bought that, it’s broken).

Yllana detailed the staggering costs he incurred to rectify the situation, specifically mentioning the vehicle’s air suspension, which necessitated an additional P900,000 in repairs. Ultimately, he was forced to sell the costly, broken vehicle for a massive loss, receiving only about P1 million. This highly specific and damaging anecdote served to paint Allan K not just as a harsh critic, but as a deceitful, untrustworthy former friend with questionable ethics, leading Yllana to angrily conclude, “masamang ugaling baklita pala ‘to” (This person has bad manners/behavior). This was the personal origin story of their professional estrangement, cementing the bitterness that fueled Yllana’s public attack.

The Sensational Allegation: James Yap and the Rubber Shoes
The feud escalated from a financial dispute to a viral sensation with Yllana’s second, and far more explosive, revelation, which directly implicated superstar basketball player James Yap.

Yllana claimed that Allan K was once prone to bragging about his ability to “book” amateur basketball players—a term widely understood in this context to imply soliciting sexual or romantic relationships. Yllana quoted Allan K as boasting: “Lahat daw ng basketball player na amature binu-booking niya” (He said he was booking all amateur basketball players).

The key detail, which transformed the rumor into a viral media event, was the alleged mode of payment. Yllana stated that Allan K claimed his method was simple: “Binibigyan lang daw ng rubber shoes ts inuuwi na” (He would just give them rubber shoes and take them home).

Yllana then named names, recounting a specific instance where Allan K was allegedly questioned about his claims. The setting was an impromptu conversation, possibly involving other celebrities, where Allan K reportedly admitted to and boasted about his relationship with a young James Yap. Yllana quoted Allan K as revealing that he brought Yap to his house in Tandang Sora and managed to “book” him simply by giving him a pair of “magandang rubber shoes.”

Yllana, while presenting this as Allan K’s own boastful admission—”Sa kanya mo tanungin siya ‘yung nagkekwento eh Hindi ko alam baka nagyayabang lang ‘yun” (Ask him, he’s the one telling the story. I don’t know, maybe he was just bragging)—nonetheless delivered the allegation with maximum impact. He directed his final, pointed message directly at the now-professional athlete: “Mr Councelor James Shap nung hindi ka pa daw professional sapatos lang daw ang katapat mo na booking ka na” (Mr. Councilor James Yap, when you weren’t professional yet, all it took was shoes for you to be booked).

The Reckoning: The Fallout and The Challenge
Anjo Yllana’s social media live was a masterclass in weaponized celebrity gossip, successfully distracting from the original political issue and placing Allan K squarely on the defensive. By revealing deeply personal and potentially damaging information—a financial scam and a sensational, unverified claim of sexual impropriety—Yllana has profoundly damaged his former co-host’s reputation.

The final words of Yllana’s live were a clear declaration of war, warning Allan K against any further retaliation: “sige banatan mo ako at baka may alam pa ako sayo” (Go on, attack me, and I might know something else about you).

This feud is more than just personal drama; it is a searing indictment of the fragile ethical standards and ruthless personal politics that often govern the relationships of powerful figures in the industry. The Eat Bulaga feud has now expanded to include allegations of financial deception and sexual misconduct, turning the once-beloved comedy group into a symbol of bitter and unforgiving rivalry. The ball is now in Allan K’s court, but any move he makes risks unleashing the “next chapter” of secrets that Yllana has promised.
