COMEDIAN Anjo Yllana called out TV5 and veteran columnist Cristy Fermin, accusing the network of refusing to give him the chance to respond to allegations discussed on Fermin’s program.
In a video message, Yllana appealed directly to TV5 chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan to look into the matter.
“Nanawagan ako sa station ng TV5, si Manny Pangilinan. Mr. Pangilinan, may mga problema kayo sa mga tao n’yo d’yan. Itong si Cristy Fermin, sinisiraan ako, hindi man lang ako inimbita,” he said.
According to Yllana, he repeatedly asked to appear on Fermin’s show to defend himself but was turned down. “Gusto kong pumunta d’yan para depensahan ang sarili ko, ayaw. Eh, mali naman ’yon, Mr. MVP. Ano ’yan, puwede kayo manira ng tao? Tapos hindi pwedeng depensahan ng tao? Mali po yan,” he said.
He added that he only wanted to explain his side on air. “Sabi ko, ‘Punta ko d’yan, mag-e-explain ako,’ ayaw naman ako papuntahin, magba-box reveal lang naman ako e.”
Yllana also warned that he would urge his supporters to stop watching the network if the situation continues. “Sabihin n’yo lang kung gusto n’yong magdeklara ng gera. E sasabihin ko sa mga followers ko, ’wag na manood d’yan sa Channel 5 kasi unfair kayo e,” he said.
