Ogie Diaz reacted after Willie Revillame indirectly called him out for the former’s comments on Toni Gonzaga’s performance during ALLTV’s soft launch.
On September 13, Willie Revillame and Toni Gonzaga headlined the soft launch of ALLTV on Channel 2.
Gonzaga then gave a song number with Dua Lipa’s Levitating.
On September 15, Diaz shared Gonzaga’s performance on Facebook. He noted how bad the sound system in the video.
“Nangiti lang ako nu’ng una, eh. Hanggang sa mapabungisngis na ako kalaunan habang pinanonood ang prod ng aking kumareng Toni. Ganitong-ganito ‘yung mga napapanood ko sa GMA Supershow ni Kuya Germs nu’ng araw.
“Pero sana, mag-invest nang bongga sa sound system o sa recording. Baka kahit si Toni kung panonoorin uli ito, hindi niya ipagmamalaki yung performance niya, eh. Lalo na yung audio niya,” he said.
In Wowowin‘s live episode on September 21, Willie Revillame aired his hard-feelings toward people who bashed their show. People claimed that the TV host indirectly called out Ogie Diaz.
“Minsan nakakasama ng loob. Pinupuna pa ‘yung pagkakamali namin. Mahirap magpuna ng pagkakamali ng kapwa mo, tingnan mo muna ‘yung sarili mo. Huwag na tayong pumuna. Isipin mo ‘yung ilang taong timulungan ng station na ito,” said Kuya Will.
In Ogie Diaz’s YouTube vlog on September 20, he said that he did not mean to offend Kuya Will. He said that he shared constructive criticism.
“Grabe ka naman, ako lang ba nag [pumuna sa audio nila].
“Wow. Ang laki-laki ko namang tao kung ako ‘yun. Hindi sa totoo lang hihimay-himayin ko ‘yung sinabi ni Kuya Will. I love you… alam mo ‘yan pero sa pagkakataong ganito, dapat naririnig niya kung ano ‘yung sintimyento, pagpupuri o opinyon ng mga taong nanonood given the fact na mag-uumpisa pa lang ang ALLTV.
“Ano ba dapat ang pinupuna? ‘Yung tama o mali? O ‘yung kulang o kapos? O yung dapat sana ay mas maganda kung ito ang gagawin.
“Kung maganda naman… pupurihin ko lalo na at kaibigan natin si [dating] Sen. Manny Villar.
“Constructive naman ‘yon, Kuya Wil. Sana marunong tayong tumanggap ng kritisismo lalo na’t ang tagal tagal mo na sa industriya. Dapat alam mo na ‘yan,” said Diaz.
He then explained he found a problem with ALLTV’s sound system, not the Network’s aim to help people.
“Ngayon kung sasabihin ni Kuya Wil sa atin na ‘maganda ang sound system namin’, edi sorry. Hindi naman niya sinabi so ibig sabihin aminado siya na may pagkukulang.
“Kapag ganito na lagi nating sinasabi na may mga tao tayong tinutulungan sa istasyon na ito, panunumbat ‘yun. Parang may himig panunumbat at pagdating ng araw may sumbatan ding magaganap,” he said.
ALLTV is Manny Villar’s Advanced Media Broadcasting System (AMBS) channel.
