The known creator of the Filipino fantasy franchise of GMA-7 Encantadia Suzette Doctolero slammed showbiz writer and talent manager Ogie Diaz after he allegedly featured the former in his blind item.
On May 28, Ogie Diaz made the said blind item telling them that they should focus on improving their network’s teleserye instead of criticizing ABS-CBN.
“Mas mabuting pagandahin na lang ninyo ang inyong mga teleserye, lalo na at kayo muna pansamantala ang tanging inaasahan ng taumbayan na makakapagbigay ng entertainment sa kanila habang wala pa ang ABS-CBN sa ere,” the talent manager of famous celebrities like Raffy Tulfo said.
“Andami nyong kuda against ABS, inaano ba kayong dalawa ng ABS, ghurl?” he added.
Doctolero didn’t hesitate to react on Diaz’s blind item and told the talent manager not to interfere with her social media posts against ABS-CBN.
According to her, Diaz should not belittle the shows of GMA-7 because their company was paying correct taxes to the government even if they’re not pouring so much money to their projects like ABS-CBN.
ABS-CBN was accused of evading tax using their PEZA-registered subsidiary.
“Huwag mo akong diktahan kung anong ipo-post ko. Napaka ironic na ‘yang “nyetang freedom of expression ang binabandera ninyo pero pikon at bitter ka sa anumang dissenting opinion dyan sa inyong narrative na drama drama,” Doctolero wrote.
“Huwag mo ring kutyain ang mga shows namin. Yes, mas magastos nyong nagagawa ang inyo kasi ‘di kami nangungutang sa gobyerno o pera ng bayan tapos ipapa write off. Nah, di namin gawain yan. Wala kaming utang. Galing sa malinis na paraan ang pera ng kompanya ko kaya tangina, sobrang proud ako. Tapos disente at honest na nagbabayad pa ng tax kaya sobrang wow!” she added.
She proudly said that GMA-7 historical fiction and LGBT shows don’t receive criticisms.
“First and last time na gumawa kayo, kumusta ba? Hindi ba’t naghuramentado ang mga indigenous people? Nakatikim rin ng talak sa akin yung headwriter nun. No wonder at winakasan agad. Kayo pa? Ugali ninyong patagalin ang show. Oh wait, manager ka nga pala ng isa sa main cast nun kaya no wonder, gigil ka sa akin. to be fair, magaling naman silang artista. Amb*b*, historically at culturally insensitve /inaccurate lang nung palabas,” she said.
“So huwag kang magyabang at manglait ha? At ibabalik din sa iyo. Alalahanin, ‘di kayo perpekto. Kaya nga may mga kaso at issue now e ‘no?” she added.
Doctolero clarified that she’s also supporting ABS-CBN.
She didn’t name Diaz on her first post, but she decided to mention the talent manager on her other post.
In another Facebook post, Doctolero mentioned Diaz asking him why he’s targeting her in his social media post.
“Ogie, basa. Simulan mo na ring umihi sa salawal mo. Di mo nga mapagtanggol yang kompanya mo tapos may kapal ka pa ng fez na magpa blind item at manira. Anong ikinagagalit mo ba? Wala naman kaming sinabi masama. Wait, masama bang sabihin ay bakit maliit ang tax na binayaran? Sana all. Maski kahit sinong taxpayer: Mapapa sana all naman talaga,” she said.
“Mare, Di ito ang panahon para magparami ka ng mga kaaway. Ako? Sus, wala akong pake. Just Be nice. At Magigiing nice din kami sa iyo. At least ako, titikom ang bibig ko. Kung nice ka. Kung walang pandemic, yayayain kitang magkape. Kwento kwentuhan lang. Seryoso,” she added.
