Eat Bulaga host Joey de Leon gave his opinion about netizens who loved to criticize other people online.
In a video posted on Instagram last Thursday, Joey who is also called the ‘Henyo Master’ gave his creative take, saying that those kinds of people were full of envy.
“Anong meron ang isang basher bukod sa giting o tapang para manira o mamuna ng ibang tao? Ang sagot, halu-haluin niyo ang mga letra ng salitang giting at makukuha niyo ang salitang inggit,” the host said.
Several celebrities like Arnold Clavio agreed to Joey’s post.
“#BringBackHumanity” Arnold said.

Followers of the comedian also praised him.
“Well said po.. andami kase mga feeling perfect, mga walang bakas na kasalanan kaya kung makapuna sa iba daig pa ang santo.. mas matindi pa nga ginagawa ng iba kesa dun sa nakagawa ng mali. Tsk.. tsk,” netizen @ashlynnmannuel remarked.
However, some netizens lectured Joey saying that he should be open to criticisms especially since he’s already worked in showbusiness for decades.
“Isa ka ng institusyon sa industriya kaya dapat alam mo rin kung ano ang tinatawag mong pang ba-bash at iba rin yung pinupuna lang ang mali ng kapwa mo artista. Ang Mali ay mali kahit saang anggulo mo tinggnan. Bakit pag sa pulitika di ka nagsasalita.” netizen @lehdehm said.
“Inggit? Di sa lahat ng pagkakataon inggit ang dahilan. Kung iba bash kita ng walang basehan at nakaka anggat ka sa akin, siguro inggit un…pero if you are being called out for wrong behavior ….then mag isip isip ka…instead of defending your self and make excuses, have an instrospection. Baka nga may point sila na nang babash sayo.” netizen @ms.jaye remarked.
It can be remembered that the most recent movie of Joey ‘My Teacher’ received criticisms online and some even made fun of its poor earnings.
