Veteran actress Divina Valencia couldn’t hide her disappointment in the FAMAS organizers’ explanation of why they replaced Eva Darren as one of the presenters at the last minute.
It can be recalled that Eva was suddenly replaced as the award presenter by a newbie singer, Sheena Palad, as they claimed that they couldn’t locate Eva at that time.
However, Divina said that FAMAS’ alibi was hard to believe as Eva was only sitting in front of the stage when she was suddenly replaced by Sheena.
“Hindi ko matatanggap ang dahilang napakalaking katarantaduhan na hindi makita si Ms Eva Darren,” Divina said. “Isa ciya sa mga naunang dumating. Kasama ang kanyang 4 na apo umasang makikita ang kanilang GrandMa na papanik sa stage na kasama c Mr Tirso Cruz,”
“This excuse is so narrow. It’s a big BS para lang makagawa ng dahilan matapos na saktan ninyo ang damdamin ni Ms Eva Darren kasama ang mga apo na umasa pero nasaktan,” she added.
Divina also narrated that every table has labels with the names of the guests who attended the show.
“Hindi ma-locate eh lahat ng mga artistang dumating, may upuang nakapangalan ng bawat nakaupo?” she said.
Meanwhile, Sheena said she was clueless about whether she would become a last-minute replacement for Eva despite being well-dressed that night.
“Hindi ko po alam na si Miss Eva ‘yung magpe-present [ng award]. Sa totoo lang po I’m also clueless, hindi po kasi ako nanonood ng awards night, I was at the holding area so hindi ko po alam kung paano mag-present,” she stated.
