E.A.T host Joey de Leon took a swipe against Noli de Castro after the latter’s comment about the wedding of Maine Mendoza and Arjo Atayde’s wedding.
It can be recalled that veteran broadcaster made a side remark on the timing of Maine and Arjo’s special event during the closing spiel of TV Patrol.
“Habang kayo kinakasal, kawawa naman ang mga binabagyo,” De Castro said.
“Ang mahirap kasi diyan ay ‘yung mga mahihirap ang nagiging biktima. Yung mayayaman at may pera, hindi,” he added.
In his tweet, De Leon insinuated that De Castro was an ‘attention grabber’ and insisted that Maine and Arjo had nothing to do with the affected people by the bad weather.
De Leon argued that Maine and Arjo already made plans for the wedding even before Egay arrived.
“Sa mga kababayan nating ume-epal na hindi raw dapat nagpakasal ang dalawang ito dahil binabagyo raw ang bayan, eto lang ang masasabi ko—-naunang nagplano sina Menggay kaysa kay Egay! Wala silang kasalanan kundi ang unang limang letra ng “kasalanan”—-KASAL!” he said.
Even Tito Sotto retweeted De Leon’s tweet to show support for the newlyweds.

As of writing, De Castro has yet to give a response to De Leon’s tweet.
