Director Antoinette Jadaone lashed out at Cesar Montano and Philip Salvador through her Twitter account.
The director reacted when the two actors announced that they don’t get paid for performing for Filipinos in Russia.
Jadaone refused to believe that Cesar and Philip don’t get paid when performing. Jadaone reiterated that these actors and avid supporters of President Rodrigo Duterte are using the money of taxpayers for every excursion they make.
She said: “Luh proud pa! Buwis nga ng taong-bayan pinambayad. Ng pagpunta n’yo sa Russia (kasama rin ba Adidas?), syempre dapat wala na kayong bayad sa pagkanta! Pati ‘yun babayaran namin? Iba riiiin.”

Netizens also lambasted these avid supporters of PRRD and questioned their ability to sing and if there are people who would actually like to hear them sing.

Eh sino ba nagpakain, nagpahotel at nag pamasahe sa inyo dyan? Anon'g tawag nyo doon? Tapos sasabihin nyong di kayo nagpabayad. Parasites!

walang bayad pero nakapag-shopping. sabagay si montano may tourism budget atang nagalaw yan dati. si ipe baka may babaeng bumubuhay sa kanya. mga lalaki sila walang silbi tulad ng kanilang sinusuportahan. #ImpeachDuterte #WorstPHpresident

Robin Padilla defended his two friends about using taxpayers’ money, stating that all of their expenses going abroad with the President were being shouldered by the actors themselves. He denied that they were using taxpayer’s money.
Robin said, “Kami ang bumibili ng pamasahe po namin, ang mga hotel namin, ang nagbabayad niyan, kami. Mukha ba kaming walang pera? Nagsiserbisyo lang kami sa mga OFW natin, kasi yung mga OFW, yun ang mga tunay na bayani.”
Here’s the full video of Robin defending Cesar Montano and Philip Salvador:
Despite Robin’s defensive statement, a netizen questioned how Cesar can afford to travel abroad and entertain for free when he is not even able to give child support to his kids.
Maniwala ako walang bayad! Wala ngang pera yang si cesar at di makabigay ng sustento sa pamilya nya, magbibigay saya pa sya sa ibang pilipino ng libre?! Eh pamilya nga nya di na nya mapasaya, hindi pa nya masustentuhan! Ok na yang si philip eh, mayaman naman si kris!
