Ogie Diaz couldn’t hide his disappointment to television host and businessman Willie Revillame after the latter criticized some showbiz reporters and even reminded them about the help he gave to them.
During the February 7 episode of Wowowin, Revillame even said that he’ll name the said personalities when the time comes after he received criticisms from them.
“Hindi na ako matatakot sa inyong lahat, laban na ito kung laban. Masyado niyo na akong inaapi. Tirahin niyo ako minu-minuto, I don’t care dahil kayo ang may utang na loob sa akin, hindi ako.” Revillame said.
The statement of Revillame affected the people close to him including columnist Cristy Fermin who was planning now to return the condominium that she received from the host.
Diaz, expressed dismay over the statements of Revillame and he even warned the members of the showbusiness not to accept anything from the television host if they want to avoid being reminded of debt of gratitude.
It can be recalled that Diaz allegedly took a swipe against Revillame after an edited video of the television host circulated on social media.
The video made Revillame laughing at the closure of ABS-CBN due to lack of franchise.
Diaz said: “Sana, pagkatapos niyang manumbat ng mga naitulong at nagawa niya sa kapwa, gumaan ang pakiramdam niya. Nabunutan na siya ng tinik. ‘Yung wala siyang pinagsisisihan at pinaninindigan niya kasi para sa kanya, kailangan na niyang manumbat.
“In short, sana, na-happy siya sa kanyang ginawa. At nakaginhawa sa kanyang mental health. Sino pa ang ibang nabigyan ng tulong niya? ‘Yung nabigyan ng jacket diyan? Behave kayo, ha? May baon ang lolo n’yo against you pag nangyari ‘yon.
“At wag kayong tatanggap ng anumang tulong o bigay o pabor, kung ayaw n’yong masumbatan balang-araw.”
The host then revealed that he received P50,000 from Revillame but he quickly donated it to a foundation.
He also clarified that Revillame was the one who insisted to give the money.
Diaz also said that he’s not planning to replicate what Revillame did.
“Ha? Ako? Kung may isusumbat sa kanya? Wala. Hindi ko ugaling manguwenta. Hindi ko ugaling manumbat. Pag ginawa mo nang kusang loob at bukal sa puso ang isang bagay, nakakalimutan mo ‘yon as time goes by. Kasi nga, naturalesa mo ang magbigay at maging mabuti sa kapwa.” Diaz stated.
“Alangan namang isa-isahin ko sa kanya ang pagtatanggol ko sa kanya noon eh ginawa ko naman yon nang kusang loob at deserve naman niyang maipagtanggol.” he added.
The post received 11,000 reactions as of writing.
Meanwhile, Revillame apologized to Fermin after the latter received criticisms from the host.
“Kaloka talaga kami ni Cristy na parehong low tech, gusto ganda phone hindi naman namin alam gamitin at iyon lumang Nokia ang talagang gamay namin.” the columnist said.
