Jobert Sucaldito has been on suspension for more than a month now from DZMM after he made a comment about Nadine Lustre and her mental health to defend veteran journalist Ricky Lo.
In a Facebook post, Jobert said he would like to think that he’s a solid Kapamilya after working for DZMM for 17 years but, because of the incident, he sarcastically doesn’t know if he still has to pray for the ABS-CBN to get its franchise renewal.
He said, “More than 1 month na akong suspended sa DZMM program naming SHOWBUZZ – WITHOUT PAY ha. Mga fans (the trolls ha – not the educated ones) lang pala ni Nadine Lustre ang makakapagpatanggal sa akin sa show na lubos na pinaniwalaan yata ng napakahusay naming station manager. So sad. I’d like to think that I was a very loyal Kapamilya pero ano nangyari? Nganga ang baklita! Seriously, I don’t know kung ipagdarasal ko pa sila for the renewal of the franchise. Sayang – malakas pa naman ako kay Lord. Ha! Ha! Ha!”

In another Facebook post, Jobert admitted the difficulties of being jobless, including how to pay for expenses for house rental, food, tuition fees and even the pocket money of those students he supports.
“Painful but that’s the reality. Mahirap kaya ang maging jobless for a month (di mo alam kung hanggang kailan – baka till the end of time) lalo pa’t breadwinner ka. House rental, kuryente, food, baon ng mga pinag-aaral, etc. Nabubuhay muna sa konting diskarte.”
He also shared with his followers on Facebook that DZMM seems to be trying to replace him with veteran radio anchor Ambet Nabus.
“What’s sad about this ay kinikiyeme pa akong under investigation daw ang isyu ko ng ethics committee ng ABS-CBN pero parang iba naman ang nagaganap. Papa Ambet Nabus texted me last January 30 na inaalok daw sa kaniya ang Showbuzz pero tinanggihan niya por delicadeza dahil sa friendship namin. Ang kaya lang daw niyang maibigay ay 2x a week dahil busy rin siya. Kaya thanks Papa Ambet for the delicadeza. Imagine, parang buhay ka pa ay inililibing ka na nila. How heartless of these people, di ba? How insensitive!”
Ambet declined DZMM offer as delicadeza to his friend Jobert, but insisted he can only help Showbuzz twice a week.

Furthermore, Jobert labeled DZMM management as heartless and insensitive for suspending him without due notice and claimed he’s not a traitor.
In fact, he tried to follow the policies of the station strictly, but it seems there are still people who despise him and trying to remove him permanently from Showbuzz.
“Nalungkot ako sobra dahil 20 years akong nasa ABS-CBN and more than 17 years sa DZMM ay bigla na lang akong tatratuhing parang basura. Sinunod ko naman lahat ng inutos nila pero anong nangyari? Meron lang talagang mga tao sa loob na ayaw talaga sa akin at gusto akong patalsikin at mukhang kilala ko naman sila. Anong kinatatakot ninyo kung wala naman kayong mga ginagawang anomalyang alam ko, di ba? Di naman ako traidor na tao. Pag lalo niyo akong binubusalan, lalo akong pumipiglas ha. You know naman my character. Basta sa tama lang tayo. Sobrang bait ko, I don’t bite the hands that feed me pero pag sukdulan na, mararamdaman ninyo ang ngipin ko.”
In addition to that, Jobert dared Nadine’s fans and trolls to confront Viva Artists Agency instead of him, especially since the actress is locked in a legal battle with her former agency now.

With these statements of Sucaldito, his apology to Nadine just a month ago now seem to be insincere.
“I would like to apologize to Ms. Nadine Lustre and to those who got bothered by that sa aspetong ito. I am also apologizing to my radio network DZMM for putting them in discomfort because of this,” Sucaldito said then.
