Talent manager Noel Ferrer on July 15, defended his friend Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo after the latter was criticized by Pebbles Cunanan.
Cunanan was a contestant in Masterchef: Pinoy Edition back in 2012 where the multi-awarded actress-turned-chef was part of the cooking competition show.
In Cunanan’s Facebook post on July 9, said that Juday lacked the resourcefulness in creating her recipes.
“Diskarte ghorl….mag-isip ka ng mga puede mong ipalit na ingredients juicemio….palibhasa sa mamahaling culinary school nag-aral eh.
“Juday wag lang mag-base sa mga natutuhan sa culinary school,” pagpapatuloy pa n’ya.
“Ang pagtaas ng mga bilihin normal yan ang hindi normal yung CHEF ka tapos hindi mo alam dumiskarte ng mga puede mong gamiting ingredients sa pagluluto,” she said.
Her statement came after Santos-Agoncillo revealed that she is inactive on her YouTube cooking channel due to inflation.
Ferrer said that Santos-Agoncillo’s reason for being inactive on her channel is valid.

“Nagdesisyon si Juday kung ano ang gagawin niya sa Judy Ann’s Kitchen YT show niya, at valid naman ang reason niya.
“‘Yung iba na may opinion, ok naman na ipahayag ’yun, pero sana ’yung tamang timpla lang at hindi puro pait ang lumalabas sa bibig.
“Kung gusto nating maghain ng statement sa publiko, ’yun naman sanang madaling tunawin, hindi nakababara; at tunay na nakakabusog,” said Ferrer.
Although Ferrer did not mention to whom he was referring, many claimed that he was taking a swipe at Cunanan.
Meanwhile, Pebbles Cunanan faced criticism after her comments about Santos-Agoncillo and even mentioned ‘lugaw ni Leni’.
