‘Martyr or Murderer’ director Darryl Yap reacted to the issue of his declining a TV guesting on the program ‘The Chiefs’ hosted by Ed Lingao and Luchi Cruz-Valdes.
On February 18, via a Facebook post, Yap shared that he received a direct message inviting him to a TV appearance to talk about his movie.
Yap explained, “I DID NOT DECLINE, I WANT A FAIR GUESTING. Ano’ng kaCHIEFan ito The Chiefs Cignal TV Cignal Entertainment ONE News.” He shared, “AYAW KO PO NG GANON. Kayong mga host ay nasa studio, ako via ZOOM. Papuntahin n’yo ko dyan, Wag ganito…At ito namang direktor na inimbitahan n’yo (Atty. Vince), andaming verbal diarrhea, andaming sinabing sinabi ko raw, pinagpapapansin n’yo kasi.”
The director said he preferred that the interview be conducted in a studio, not via video conference.
He said that it was not fair, considering ‘Ako si Ninoy’ director Atty. Vince Tañada was also invited and interviewed live.
Yap concluded, “Huwag po tayong magsinungaling, I did not decline, I want a fair guesting….I am a supporter of Marcos, but I am not a Marcos…I will not seek Divine Justice…Pumapalag ako sa abot ng aking makakaya.”
