The feud between OPM legend Freddie Aguilar and Maegan Aguilar was well-known to the netizens for almost a decade.
It can be recalled that Maegan’s relationship with Freddie can be compared to the most popular song of the latter, ‘Anak,’ a song of remorse and apology of a child to his parents.
The issue between the two was publicized in 2014 when Maegan announced that she was already severing her ties with Freddie.
It only started because of a simple argument about a vegetable in their refrigerator.’
Maegan said that Freddie asked her about the P1,500 she borrowed from him.
“He also flared up because I hadn’t paid the P1,500 I borrowed from him. I used the money to buy diapers and milk for Mahi.” she said.
“I get only P4,000 as salary in Ka Freddie’s Tomas Morato. Then he gets mad that we are always cash-strapped. It’s his fault. I am underpaid,” she added.
The argument ended with Freddie throwing Maegan and her family out of his house.
In a statement, Freddie responded to his daughter, saying he was saddened that Maegan brought their issue to the public.
Several months after the issue, Maegan talked about her current partner, Freddie, Jovie Aguilar, whom she called ‘mangkukulam’.
According to her, the treatment of her father towards her changed after Jovie arrived.
“My father was never like that in his whole life. And I have known him for 35 years. He had never been this way,” Maegan stated.
“Malakas ‘yung kutob ko na kinulam si Tatay o ginayuma. Kasi ‘yung family ni Jovie na sinasabi niyang family niya, hindi niya kamukha. Mukha silang mga mangkukulam. ‘Yung mga hitsura nila mukhang hindi gagawa ng mabuti.” she added.
In 2015, Maegan admitted that she was jealous of Jovie, because Freddie was spoiling the latter.
“Malamang, kahit anong hilingin non binibigay ni Tatay eh,” Maegan said in an interview with Boy Abunda. “Tapos pag ako, ang sasabihin lang sakin ng tatay ko ‘lugi na ‘yung negosyo bakit wala kang ginagawa’ tapos malalaman ko bumili siya ng bahay para magsasakang magulang ni Jovie,”
Maegan claimed that Freddie was also sending thousands of pesos every week to the family of Jovie.
Several months after releasing a statement against Jovie, it was reported that Freddie reconciled with Maegan, but their peace was only short-lived.
Years after their issue, Maegan, now facing multiple health problems, asked for her father’s help.
“‘Tay, wala po kasi akong ibang tatay, kayo lang. Hindi ko na po alam kung paano ito ayusin, unless din po na maging willing din kayo na tanggapin ako for who I am, what I am.” she said.
“Kasi ‘yun po ang ginagawa kahit sa magkakaibigan lang. Tinatanggap po nila ang isa’t isa for what they are, kahit may mga flaws, kahit hindi perfect. Ako po ‘yun. ‘Tay, I am imperfect. I am flawed. I don’t know how to fix, ‘Tay, pero sa totoo lang kasi kailangan ko kayo ngayon…” she added.
However, Freddie said that Maegan should change first.
