Internet celebrity and entrepreneur Rosmar Tan received criticisms recently and was accused of copying the Paresan business of social media phenomenon Deo Balbuena, a.k.a Diwata.
According to some netizens, Rosmar’s “Pares Overload” had the same concept as Diwata’s “Pares Overload,” and even their business names were similar.
In her social media post, Rosmar commented on a netizen who told her why she was allegedly riding the popularity of Diwata despite not paying attention to him when he was still starting as a businessman.
To prove that she was communicating with Diwata, Rosmar shared a snap of their online conversation.
In the conversation, Diwata could be seen praising Rosmar and telling her she was his idol.
Diwata could also be seen sharing his business tips with Rosmar.
“Kunti lang kita ko madam hehe basta makatulong sa kapwa masaya na po ako. Sige po pag gusto niyo mag open madam,” said Diwata.
Rosmar also admitted that her Paresan business was inspired by Diwata.
“Hindi ko naman tinatanggi na Diwata-inspired ‘yung presyo natin at idea, syempre ganoon talaga kapag umaangat ka ma-i-inspire ka,” she stated.
“Imbis na mainggit, hilahin siya pababa, siraan or what, mai-inspired ako kaya sabi ko ‘wow ang galing ni Diwata’ kaya eto, gumawa din ako [ng paresan]” she added.
However, some netizens were still not convinced, saying that Diwata was already popular when Rosmar made a response to him.
“Ngayon na sikat na ang Pares ni Diwata dun lang niya pinansin chat ni Diwata,” a netizen said.
