Darryl Yap felt thrilled knowing that the award-winning director Joel Lamangan has a plan to release a film that will contradict the former’s film titled Maid in Malacañang.
On August 8, Lamangan revealed the plot of the film he is planning to release to counter Yap’s work.
“Parang, the last 72 hours din pero sa punto de vista ng isang ordinaryong pamilya bago umalis ang mga Marcos.
“Kapag puro kasinungalingan ng kasinungalingan ang sabihin ay baka maniwala na sila na ito ang totoo. Kawawa naman ng bayan natin, nabubuhay tayo sa kasinungalingan,” Lamangan said.
Yap responded to Lamangan’s statement.
“Ultimate Kilig. Dati yung mga gawa ni Direk Joel ang nagbibigay-inspirasyon sa akin Ngayon, naka-pattern pala sa gawa ko ang gagawin nila. Good luck po,” he said.
Yap also reacted to the Netizens who were against him.
“Hindi galing sa Filmschool. Hindi bahagi ng isang Showbiz Clan. Hindi nakipagkant**** sa may posisyon, Hindi nanlilimos ng pagkilala. Hindi nanghahahamak ng katrabaho. Hindi nagmamagaling at Hindi Naiinggit. Sorry, pero hindi.”
Yap stated that he worked hard to get where he is right now.
On July 21, VinCentiments reacted to Lamangan’s possible counterpart of Maid in Malacanang.
“Ibang level na si Direk! KUYOG. Sino ba naman si Direk Darryl kumpara kay Direk Joel Lamangan, all support po kami sa gagawin nyong pelikula! pero para talagang matapatan— dapat po panoorin nyo muna sa August 3 in cinemas worldwide,” Vincentiments said.
