But that reasoning did sit well with Dingdong who took to Twitter to share his insight.
According to him, actors are accountable to their viewers and their producers not the same as public officials who should be following some protocols and proper decorum because governance is not entertainment.
“As actors, we are accountable to our viewers, our producers and the manner of delivering the story. Aba’y ibang usapan yan kapag public official ka. Kaya’t huwag dapat ihambing gamit ang ganiyangargumento,” the actor Tweeted.
Meanwhile, Dingdong was not the only celebrity who shares disappointment and disgust over the controversial Dutertekiss.

“I am a Filipino and I do not accept this behavior, especially from a person in authority. Deplorable. Mahiya naman kayo.”
Former volleyball star and now TV host Gretchen Ho have also expressed her opinion regarding the matter.
Gretchen tweeted, the president holds a position of authority and he’s not out to do entertainment.
“He is in a position of authority. The highest at that. Everything he does reflects on his constituents. That’s not being professional. He is not out to make entertainment.”
Spoken word artist Miguel Severo also voiced out his opinion via numbers of question marks on his tweet.
