Ogie Diaz spoke on Thursday, May 5, that there should never have been a feud between It’s Showtime host Vice Ganda and “Miss Q & A” grand winner Juliana Parizcova Segovia in the first place.
It can be recalled that in the noontime show’s segment Sexy Babe on April 26, Vice had a blind item regarding a person who earns by being a troll on social media.
A name was never mentioned but Segovia, a supporter of presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr, felt that the TV host was referring to him. He even sought the help of controversial content creator Darryl Yap for advice.
“Siguradung-sigurado ako direk,” he confirmed on April 26.
Vice remained mum about the issue up until now.
Diaz, during his Showbiz Update on YouTube, pointed out that Segovia should not have reacted that way.
“Marami pa ring naggigiit na si Julianna Parizcova ang tinukoy ni Vice Ganda nu’ng nagsalita siya sa It’s Showtime.
Ito’y pinabulaanan ni Juliana Parizcova nu’ng makarating sa kanya na marami ang nagkokomento na baka siya ang tinutukoy ni Vice,” he said.
His co-host, Mama Loi, argued, “‘Di ba ‘nay nag-a-apply din dito ‘yung rule of thumb mo pagdating sa blind item na pag hindi naman binanggit ang pangalan mo, bakit mo aakuin?
Nakakahiya naman doon sa taong tinutukoy?
Diaz then replied, “Kapag feeling mo hindi naman ikaw ang tinutukoy ‘wag mo angkinin ang blind item, kawawa naman ‘yung totoong may-ari?”
He then revealed that Vice never said anything against Parizcova.
“Pero sa pagkakataong ito ‘yung kay Vice Ganda hindi si Juliana Parizcova ang tinututukoy ni Vice Ganda. Ako na ang nagsasabi sa inyo [at] sinabi sa akin kung sino ‘yun at oo nga nu’ng tsinek ko, oo nga. Nagto-trolling.”
The talent manager added, “Kaya siguro si Vice Ganda nagtataka kung bakit nagre-react hindi naman siya ‘yung tinutukoy.”
The reason for the TV host’s silence was that he ignored the statement from Parizcova.
“Naintindihan ko siya kung career wise kung ako ang manager ni Vice sasabihin ko, ‘wag mo nang patulan ‘yan, dedma ka kasi hayaan mo siyang mag-react, mag’isip nang mag-isip basta ang bottom line hindi siya ‘yun.”
Diaz then advised the comedian, “Juliana Parizcova sorry to tell you, hindi ikaw ang tinutukoy ni Vice Ganda. Mapanatag na loob mo, huwag ka nang masyadong magsasagot kung alam mo naman sa sarili mo na hindi ka nanghihingi through G-cash, unless gusto mong patulan [dahil] nag-e-enjoy ka. Kaya dedma na Juliana, hindi ikaw ‘yun.”
