Director Darryl Yap responded to the criticisms he received from Cherry Pie Picache during the press conference of the movie “Oras de Peligro,” directed by Joel Lamangan.
Oras de Peligro was expected to counter the story of Yap’s upcoming movie about the story of the rivalry between former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. and former Sen. Ninoy Aquino Jr.
During the mediacon held on February 12, Cherry Pie said that she would refuse any offer from Darryl if she received an offer to be part of any future projects of the director.
According to her, she’s ready to portray the character of former first lady Imelda Marcos as long as it’s not from a project of Darryl.
“Depende sa konteksto ng pelikula, sa script why not? Pero by Darryl Yap, no!” she said.
The popular director responded to Cherry Pie and asked why the actress acted like she already watched his movie.
He even mentioned how the actress forgave the man who ended the life of her mother while a director like him who only made movies was treated badly by Cherry Pie.
“Napanood ko kasi kung paano mo pinatawad ang pumatay sa Nanay mo, ang pagsabi mo ng magagandang bagay patungkol sa pangtanggap at pagbibigay katwiran sa mismong pumatay sa Nanay mo—naisip ko, YUNG PUMATAY SA NANAY MO, NAYAKAP MO.
sigurado kang may kabutihan sa kanya—Ako, na gumagawa lamang ng pelikula (na dahilan kung bakit kayo may pelikula) AKO ANG TINATANONG MO KUNG MAY KONSENSYA?” the director asked.
Darryl also made it clear that he’s not interested to hire Cherry Pie in any of his movies.
In another post, Yap posted a movie poster from an old movie of Cherry Pie where she was seen eating a banana.
He questioned why he became one of the top discussions during the media conference for Oras De Peligro despite the fact that he was not even part of the movie.
“Pinanood ko rin nang buo ang presscon nila na muntik ko nang isipin na ang title ay Oras de Darryl o Darryl De Peligro, dahil halos ako ang topic. Akala ko may nagtrigger lang sa kanya—pero wala; gusto nya talagang sabihin ang nasabi niya, pero ok lang—ganoon din naman ako tuwing sumasagot, ang kaibahan lang, never ako umatake.” he said.
