Actor Dingdong Dantes could not help but react to the trending statements made by Alvin Aragon during his appearance on ‘Jigo Live’ of Abante.
Netizens were quick to notice when Dingdong left a facepalm emoji in the comment section of a Facebook post shared by social media personality Senyora. The post featured an art card containing Aragon’s controversial quote.
The art card read: “Naisip ko lang, si Paolo Contis kasi nga may mga issue sa babae e — si Aljur Abrenica. Galit na galit kayo kasi hindi sila naging okay na husband. Ngayon mayroong isang tao, okay ang ginawa sa kanyang wife. Binabash n’yo pa rin?”
Aragon’s remarks came in response to criticisms he received after reportedly not allowing his wife, Izzy Trazona, to participate in the SexBomb Girls reunion concert.
In his interview with Jigo Postolero, Aragon defended his decision, saying he was simply protecting his wife.
“Niligawan ko nga asawa ko simula 2011 hanggang bago kami ikasal… sabi ko, ‘Hindi ko siya hahalikan, eh, until the pastor, you may kiss your bride.’ Tapos papayagan ko siya mag-concert para mag-towel lang, na makikita ng gaano karaming lalaki sa buong Pilipinas? Tapos pasasayawin ko na naka-see through, labas ang cleavage, labas ang legs? I want to protect my wife. Ako lang titingin, kasi ako ang husband,” he said.
Although Dingdong did not release any direct statement about the issue, his simple facepalm reaction — using an image of the cartoon character Bob Belcher — quickly drew thousands of responses.
Many netizens interpreted the actor’s emoji as a form of “silent judgment” or disbelief over Aragon’s remarks. Despite being urged by some commenters to elaborate further, Dingdong did not add any additional comment.
As of writing, online discussions continue, with many debating the boundaries between “protection” and control within a marriage.
