The 70-year old veteran comedian-actor did public apology on noon time show, “Eat Bulaga!”
“Eat Bulaga!” host Joey de Leon made his public apology after his controversial remarks about depression. The 70-year old veteran comedian-actor admitted his fault and insensitivity about the serious matter.
“Nagkamali po ako,” Joey admitted.
“Dala ng gulo at tuksuhan natin, naging mababaw lang at magaan ang pagtanggap ko sa salitang ‘yan,” he added.
“Hanggang nabanggit ko nga ‘yung ‘Wala, gawa-gawa lang ‘yan ng ibang tao.’ ‘Yun kasi ang paniniwala ko na ang stress tsaka depression, halos magkapantay lamang. Huwag niyong asahan na alam ko ang lahat ng bagay sa mundo,” the “Eat Bulaga!” host explained.
Joey shared that his wife, Eileen de Leon, and his children talked to him and explained that stress and depression is different from each other. He also emphasized on his speech that the incident taught him something.
“Habang nabubuhay po tayo eh natututo tayo ng mga bagong mga bagay-bagay. Nagkamali po ako,” he said.
Joey made his statement on Thursday on Eat Bulaga’s “Juan for All, All for Juan” segment after the “sugod-bahay” winner said she has depression.
