Herlene Budol also known as “Hipon Girl” recently created buzz online after she exposed and decried the infidelity of actor-vlogger, Nico Locco, on their show, Wowowin.
During the Kapuso show last January 2, Wowowin host Willie Revillame spotted Nico in the audience and called him to come up on stage.
Herlene said she knew the actor and angrily exposed him on public television as a cheater.
“I know you. Did you know me? Famous siya sa social media kasi manloloko siya,” the Wowowin co-host said.
“Oo, manloloko ‘to! Niloko niya ‘yung girlfriend niya kaya nakilala kita. Gigil na gigil ako! Shinare ko nga ‘yung mga chat-chat nyo. Kala mo dyan ha!” she added.
Herlene then said that Nico had cheated on his ex-girlfriend, Arianne Bautista, who also became one of the co-hosts of Wowowin.
Nico, in the end, admitted that it was all true after some persistent questioning by host Willie Revillame.
For the second time, the Italian-Canadian actor publicly apologized to Arianne, saying he was sorry for what he did.
“I really did love you. Mahal kita. I didn’t really mean that. I’m so sorry from the bottom of my heart that I’ve caused you that pain,” Nico said.
“Pero sana you find somebody that loves you and treats you properly and treats you with respect. So whoever that is, would be a really lucky man,” he added.
After hearing his “sorry” speech, Herlene said she also made a mistake of quickly judging him.
“Iyong mga kagaya ko na nangba-bash sa kanya, siyempre tao lang, nagkakamali rin kami,” she said.
“Kami nanghuhusga ng tao, pero kaming tao na nanghuhusga sayo, nagkakamali rin kami. Kaya pinapatawad na kita,” she added that elicited laughter from the audience.
Reacting to the actor’s latest apology, Arianne tweeted that “apology is real when it’s personal.”
She included a hashtag, #allfortheshow, in her tweet.
Apology is real when its personal. #allfortheshow

Arianne earlier exposed Nico as a cheater in her social media posts.
She unleashed her fury on her social media account by revealing how Nico chatted with other girls to have sex with them.
The Kapuso actress even posted several screenshots of their lewd conversations.
Nico then made a public apology to Arianne and admitted his mistakes through Facebook.
Despite being a foreigner, he said that he loves the Philippines and felt sorry for hurting many people.
Meanwhile, Herlene’s revelation of Nico being a cheater delighted netizens.
Here’s what netizens had to say:
