Ogie Diaz responded to the criticisms he received from Willie Revillame.
It can be recalled that the two started to feud when the talent manager posted a tweet against a specific individual that netizens believed to be Revillame.
“Wag umiyak. Kung nung araw na kailangan ang luha ng pagdamay mo ay hindi rin naman naramdaman. Bagkus nakitawa ka pa. Kaya wag mamalimos ng simpatya. Kaya mo yan. Wala kang di kinaya.” Diaz said.
Later, Revillame lectured the people who received help but now criticized him because of an edited video spreading on the internet.
Several columnists, including Cristy Fermin, believed that the television host took a swipe against Diaz, who introduced comedian Vice Ganda to Revillame’s now-defunct show Wowowee.
“During Wowowee days, nilalapit niya sa akin ang isang talent niya na tulungan, sa backstage. ‘May concert sa Laffline, tulungan mo.’ Palalabasin ko siya. Ngayon ho sikat na sikat na siya sa isang noontime show.” said Revillame.
“Ilang beses siya nasa likod ng Wowowee para mag-promote. Hawak niya dati ‘yon, nawala rin sa kanya ‘yon. Siya ba paniniwalaan niyo o ako?” he added.
On February 12, Diaz directly addressed Revillame and responded to the accusations of the television host.
During his online show, Diaz denied that his talents, including Vice Ganda, left him because of his attitude.
“Hindi po ako iniiwan. Maayos po kaming naghiwalay Willie. Si Vice Ganda ay almost five years kami, At hanggang ngayon, magkaibigan kami ni Vice. Kasi pinili namin ‘yung nauna naming relasyon na magkaibigan kami kesa maging manager-talent ang aming relasyon,” the talent manager said.
Diaz then started questioning Revillame why the people surrounding the television host don’t last that long.
“E kung ganun din naman ang usapan, tatanong ko na rin kay Willie, bakit hindi nagtatagal mga co-host mo? Hindi umaabot ng four and a half years? hindi umaabot ng eleven years.” Diaz stated.
It can be recalled that Revillame already recruited more than 30 co-hosts during his career.
It included Mariel Rodriguez, Pokwang, Shalani Soledad, Grace Lee, Ethel Booba, Valerie Concepcion, RR Enriquez, Iya Villania, Kat Alano, Super Tekla, Donita Nose, and Sugar Mercado.
Revillame has yet to answer Diaz’s question for him.
