IPINAGTANGGOL ng singer-songwriter na si Ogie Alcasid ang co-host sa noontime show na “It’s Showtime” na si Vice Ganda laban sa mga bashers nito.
Sa X/Twitter, iginiit ni Ogie na ang tanging layon lang ni Vice ay magbigay ng saya sa publiko.
“This is long overdue. There is a friend i know who comes to work only having the sole intention of making people happy. This person takes it all- for the team, for the show, and for the madlang pipol,” ani Ogie.
“This is why i stand for this friend of mine imperfect as she is. Love you meme @vicegandako,” dagdag niya.
Maraming fans ang nagpasalamat kay Ogie sa ginawa niyang pagtatanggol kay Vice pero may mangilan-ngilan din ang pumuna sa kanya.
“A true friend never tolerate someone’s bastos and mapagmataas behaviour, dapat pagsabihan… never use “imperfect” as he is, kasi it depends on how he perceived and accepted his imperfections in other areas but tend to disregard his bastos and arogante na behaviour.”
“We also have to acknowledge that sometimes her jokes were over the top. Also, your friend is becoming egocentric lately. She should have handled the situation more maturely. She should have been held accountable!”
“Ano @ogiealcasid solely to make people happy??? Wow ha – ibang klase definition mo ng happy – okay pala mambully at gawing subject ng katatawanan ang pambubully ng itsura ng isang tao – wow ha.”
