A content creator shared her bad experience while dining at the popular Diwata Pares Overload, which is owned by social media sensation, Deo Balbuena.
In her Facebook post, Hagar Hussein said that one of the staff of the said Paresan accused her of not paying for their food.
“It’s unacceptable in our part na tatawagin kaming sinungaling at hindi kami nagbayad ng worth 100 pesos,” she said. “Meron po kaming binili na overload pares, walo kami, [pero] ang na-serve lang amin, I think five ata, so sinabi ng pinsan ko [sa staff], ‘kulang pa kami ng tatlo,’ pero nagkataon na ‘yung stub namin ay naibigay na namin sa softdrinks, without knowing na hindi pa pala kumpleto ‘yung ating food kasi naghahanap kami ng table,”
According to her, the staff who were designated to one of the stations of Diwata’s Paresan were called liars.
She also described the food at Diwata’s paresan as bland.
“Wala na pong lasa ‘yung pagkain, ‘yung fried chicken walang lasa. Mas masarap pa ‘yung lutong bahay,” she stated.
Hussein also urged the content creators not to whitewash Diwata’s food so the social media sensation could improve the service of his business.
Meanwhile, several fans of Diwata defended the social media sensation, saying that people should stop expecting too much.
“For 100 pesos na unli rice, unli sabaw, with softdrinks? Ang taas ng entitlement ha. Leave Diwata alone. Kayo tong nakiki-hype, kayo pa galet. Hayaan niyo siya magnegosyo at gumawa ng kultura sa lugar na yan. Hindi naman yan para sa inyo,” a fan said.
“Maawa naman kayo kay Diwata, hindi na makapag-focus sa negosyo niya dahil araw-araw niyo na lang kino-content. Masyado niyo nang ginagatasan ang paresan niya e, may nakita nga ako na vlogger na halos si Diwata na lang ang content eh kasi consistent ang views,” another netizen commented.
As of writing, Diwata has yet to respond to the statement made by Hussein.
