Social media personality and paresan owner Diwata has responded to accusations from netizens that she selectively interacts with people and snubs those who are not prominent vloggers visiting her establishment.
In a recent sit-down interview with ABS-CBN News, Diwata clarified the circulating clips that allegedly show her being dismissive towards fans and vloggers requesting photos or selfies.
“Parang normal lang din,” Diwata remarked, referring to her current level of fame.
She explained that she accommodates collaboration requests and photo opportunities if her schedule allows it.
“Kung may invite, kung kaya ng oras ko, go. Pero kung hindi kaya ng oras ko, tumatanggi ako kasi hindi ko puwedeng pabayaan ‘yong business ko. Kaya lang talaga minsan, marami talagang makukulit. Minsan nga kahit natutulog na ako, may kakatok ng 2:00 AM para magpa-picture lang. May gano’ng eksena. Pero kaya naman pagpasensyahan,” she said.
Diwata expressed her sadness over the accusations from vloggers who she couldn’t accommodate.
“Ang nakakalungkot nga lang, ‘yung mga hindi lang napapagbigyan ng picture, kung anu-ano na ang sinasabi at ina-upload. Wala naman akong pakialam. Wala naman akong taong inaagrabyado. Wala naman akong taong tinatapakan. Kung hindi mo kayang intindihin ‘yong paliwanag ko, nasa sa kanila na ‘yon. Kasi nga busy ako. May ginagawa ako. Pero kung may free time ako, lahat welcome kahit maliit na vlogger pa ‘yan, may dala ka man o wala,” she added.
Diwata also clarified that vloggers and celebrities who collaborate with her typically have appointments, unlike others who show up unannounced at her paresan.
It’s worth noting that former singer Mystica criticized Diwata, alleging she discriminates against whom she gives attention to. In response, Diwata addressed Mystica’s comments, defending her stance and actions.
