MANILA, Philippines - Entertainment scribe-talk show host Ogie Diaz has apologized to Charice Pempengco for his tweets about her after fans of the diminutive diva vowed to “boycott” all his projects.
"Patawad kung naka-offend ang aking opinion," he relayed to Charice's fans through abscbnnews.com.
He went on to ask Pempengco’s fans to spare his mother, whom he alleged they also target.
“Kung hindi pa din nila ako mapapatawad, ako na lang ang isumpa nila at huwag na nilang idamay ang nanay ko," he pleaded.
Seemingly eager to put the issue behind him, Diaz suggested that the fans should also look at other colleagues whom he said might also be guilty of the purported misdeed.
"Huwag ninyo namang ibintang sa akin ang lahat, baka naman ibang writers ang nagsabi noon [negative comments],” he said.
Even then, Diaz acknowledged that the public apology is not enough.
"Kapag nakita ko na siya [Pempengco] ng personal ay magso-sorry pa din ako sa kanya," he said.
Diaz, who has over 94, 000 followers on Twitter, said he already deleted all his posts relating to the singer including disparaging comments on how Pempengco wears her eyeglasses [“looks so ugly on her”].
Diaz was among a number of local scribes who expressed dismay over Pempengco seemingly “acting like a foreign artist” during the latter’s “1@11” concert at SM Mall of Asia, a matter which he made explicit in his tabloid column.
Wags accused the group of writers of having taken umbrage from getting snubbed by Pempengco’s entourage when they asked for time with the diva after the concert.
Pempengco is yet to issue a statement on the matter.
