Diwata answered the allegations that he was already charging his fans who wanted to take a photo with him.
A photo card showing an alleged quote from Diwata indicated that he allegedly wanted to charge people P1,500 per photo opportunity due to the time he was consuming to accommodate his fans.
“Puro pa picture hindi naman ako kikita sa inyo! Ito hah, naisip ko lang bawat magpapa picture sakin magbabayad na ng 1500 kada isang tao ng mapakinabangan ko naman pang-iistorbo n’yo!” the post reads.
The post received mixed reactions from the netizens and even wrote negative comments against Diwata.
However, Diwata, in a video, denied that he would charge people to take a photo of him.
“Gusto ko lang linawin sa inyo ‘yung naniningil po ng 1,500 para sa picture, fake account po ‘yon ha,” said Diwata. “Ba’t ako maniningil sa inyo,”
In another video, Diwata told other content creators that he couldn’t accommodate his fans daily due to his tight schedule.
Despite his explanation, Diwata still received criticism from the netizens, calling out his attitude.
“Wala na sira kana sa manga tao..madali kanalng malaos masyadu matulis dila mo,” netizen Edumund said.
“Yabang mo umangat klang sa buhay. grabi kna mlaos kadin sa pag uugali mong yan. nabigyan klang ng 1million ni rosemar at sa ibang bigating Blogger ganyan kna,” netizen Ricky commented.
