Motivational speaker Rendon Labador faced another cast of FPJ’s Batang Quiapo after he criticized the show’s production team and its leading star Coco Martin.
In his vlog, former professional basketball player and Batang Quiapo cast Mark ‘Big Mak’ Andaya gently responded to Labador.
He said that the accusations of Labador against the show’s production team were wrong.
It can be recalled that the motivational speaker criticized the Batang Quiapo team because of some complaints that their businesses were affected by the show’s production.
According to Andaya, they were only closing some portions, but it only lasted for 30-60 minutes.
“Pag nag-te-taping kami, hindi naman kami nakababad sa isang kalye, sa isang daan. Hindi kami humaharang sa gitna at saka bawat eksena mabilis lang. Wala pa sigurong 30 minutes. Siguro maximum one hour bawat eksena. So, hindi kami masyado super nakaka-cause ng traffic.” Andaya said.
“Sana lang, before you accuse people, go to the set and look at the situation kung talagang totoo,” he added.
Andaya even invited Labador to visit the set of Batang Quiapo and personally air his complaint to the production.
“Sana intindihin mo rin. Kung may mga question ka or mga complaints ka, go to the set and kausapin mo yung production namin, kausapin mo yung direktor namin, kausapin mo yung barangay kapitan, kausapin mo yung mga Imam doon para maliwanagan ka kasi bro, maling-mali talaga yang mga sinasabi mo.”
He also urged Labador to show his real attitude because he believed the motivational speaker was only trying to establish an online persona that contradicts his true nature.
“Pakita mo yung totoo mong ugali. Mabait kang tao. Pakita mo sa mga fans mo kung sino talaga si Rendon.” he said.
Andaya then invited Labador to a one-on-one talk raising the possibility for the motivational speaker to appear in the show.
“Minsan magkita tayo, kwentuhan tayo. Gusto mo mag-inuman tayo para medyo, sana maliwanagan ka.. malay mo, makasama kita sa Batang Quiapo, magkaroon ka ng karakter doon. Direk Coco always gives chances and opportunities to people.. See you sa set, Rendon.” he said.
As of writing, Labador has yet to respond to Andaya’s offer.
