Several celebrities and netizens went to social media to slam movie director Darryl Yap and Senator Imee Marcos.
Following the release of the teaser of “The Exorcism of Len-len Rose”, Yap’s latest episode to the Len-len series on Tuesday, March 1, netizens and social media personalities were united in calling out Yap, Imee and others involved in the series.
Kapamilya youngstar Aljon Mendoza in his tweet took a shade on the creators of the series saying they were trying hard and looked like more tired than Len-len who works 18 hrs a day.
“Mga trying hard. Mas mukha pa kayong pagod kaysa kay lenlen na nagtatrabaho ng 18 hrs a day”

Photographer Niccolo Cosme in his tweet chastised Imee Marcos for stooping so low to besmirch VP Leni’s reputation.
“How long can her baba go. Is how low Imee can go. Lol 🤮🤮🤮”

Pinoy Ako Blog meanwhile shared the sentiment of a netizen who said that with Marcos camp’s overflowing budget why didn’t they create a series to highlight Marcos Jr’s achievement instead of painting bad image alluded to VP Leni Robredo.
“Tomoh! Hahahaha! 😂😂😂”

This is not the first time that backfired.
Recently, Yap and Imee’s Pagod Len-len narrative were met with ballistic reactions not only from the netizens but from different people from from different sectors who felt offended by their insinuation that those who work for 18 hours of more are either stupid or liars.
What was supposed to be a negative campaign against VP Leni has instead helped as it rallied workers who experienced the same even once in their working years.
Meanwhile, here are other reactions from the netizens regarding Yap’s latest Len-Len episode.
@bangonpinas100 said it’s ironic that the Marcos camp is shouting unity and no to negative campaigning but her sister and their paid director and stars are doing negative campaign against their rival.
“Rinig ko, no to negative campaigning daw, tas Unity eme….I stan Lorenzo! On Point! best they can come up with? #TryHarder”

@thenewyel_twt said the same, slamming Imee and Yap for being hypocrites.
“bongbong: “no to negative campaigning.” literally imee with vincentiments and company: *gumawa ng series para manira at mang insulto which is obviously an example of negative campaigning* the ✨hypocrisy✨”

@emmazebonafide meanwhile lambasted Imee Marcos saying instead of focusing on acting on camera she should instead focus on helping the country because she’s still a sitting Senator.
“A government official who has a lot of time for films when she should be focusing on helping the nation. Mao diayng di kaabot ug overtime imo serbisyo kay sigeg ML kuyog pas balmond sa film.”

@rambocchi on the other hand said because Marcos Jr was packaged to be the candidate who don’t want to engage in negative campaigning, Imee and Yap are doing the dirty job for him.
“Because BBM themselves cannot participate in smear campaigns. they’re the other party’s dogs that do the dirty work instead of their masters.”

@adamsapppple meanwhile advised the Marcos camp to just use their budget for filming the series in getting tutor for Marcos Jr. so he can join presidential debates next time.
“Or spend the budget for a tutor so Baby M can join debates. 💁🏻♂️💁🏻♂️”
