After showbiz commentator Cristy Fermin agreed that Jake Zyrus, formerly known as Charice Pempengco, was legendary, Raquel Pempengco, Zyrus’ mother, slammed the Filipino entertainment reporter, and talent manager, Ogie Diaz.
Pempengco stated in a Facebook post on March 31 that she would show proof of her daughter’s accomplishments.
Raquel Pempengco replied, “You got my point, Ms. Cristy Fermin. Gusto ko sana ikaw mag Interview sa akin para naman matauhan si Ogie Diaz, basta na lang sasakay sa komento ng mga basher.”
“Wait ka lang at bibigyan kita ng mga achievements ni Jake na hindi mo nalalaman. Baka mawindang ka at maniwala na talagang legendary and nobody can defeat Charice or Jake,” she added.
On March 28, talent manager Diaz called out Pempengco after the latter said her daughter was a legend in the country. Pempengco seemed to hit Morissette’s guest performance during David Foster’s concert.
“Walang problema kung ipagtatanggol mo ang anak mo kasi anak mo ‘yan. Walang problema kung idedepensa mo siya at kung feeling mo si Charice lang o si Jake Zyrus lang ang makakapagbigay ng justice sa song [ni David Foster]. Ang problema may sinasagasaan kang tao. ‘Yun ang hindi maganda. Kaya sana baguhin mo ang ganyang pag-uugali ha, Mommy Raquel,” Diaz said.
