‘Explain before you complain.’ — Joey

Posted on August 31, 2007

PNS — An escalating word war that showed no signs of abating.

Twenty-four hours after Wowowee host Willie Revillame expressed his sentiments against his staunchest critic, Eat Bulaga! host Joey de Leon this time took center stage to air his side regarding his worsening feud with Willie.

Wearing a casual cotton shirt complemented by a pair of jeans, Joey calmly advised the beleaguered host to explain first the alleged game rigging accusations plaguing Wowowee before venting his venom elsewhere.

“Mga kaibigan pag ang bata po nadapa tinatanong natin, ‘Bakit?’ Pag nauntog, ‘Bakit?’ Kung buong Pilipinas pa, buong masang Pilipino at mga mahihirap na sumasali’t umaasa lang sa mga ganitong palaro at may nangyaring ganun, hindi ba karapatan din n’yang magtanong, bakit? Bakit nagka-ganun? ” jumpstarted Joey earlier today, August 30, at Eat Bulaga.

Willie yesterday, August 29, openly questioned Joey’s intentions for allegedly throwing snide remarks ever since the “Wilyonaryo” controversy erupted.

“Mr. Joey de Leon, nirerespeto pa din kita. Huwag mong hintayin na mawala respeto ko,” Willie exasperatedly challenged the Eat Bulaga! host

Refusing to directly drop Willie’s name, Joey throughout his dialogue referred to the Wowowee host in the third person.

“Hindi pa po pinapaliwanag ng taong ito bakit nagkagulo-gulo. .. Bakit hindi n’yo muna ipaliwanag bago [ninyo] ipasa ang sisi at para malihis ang atensiyon ng humihingi ng tanong na bakit nagkaganun. Inuna n’yo pang tirahin yung ibang tao para, ano ba, malihis ang atensiyon?

“Ang pagsasalita ko pong ito ay alang-alang sa milyun-milyong Pilipino na nanonood ng telebisyon at humihingi ng paliwanag. Sigurado po ‘yon, humihingi kayo ng paliwanag. Bakit nagkaganun? Para lang sa spirit ng fairness siguro dapat natin paliwanag.”

The veteran comedian-host then let out a food-for-thought to his counterpart: “Kaibigan, para sa ‘yo ‘to, explain before you complain. Paliwanag mo muna. Pag naipaliwanag mo na nang maayos ‘Ah kasi ganito kasi e, nagkamali, o, ganun.’ Wala, e, ang nangyari parang binalewala mo ang gusto ng Pilipino at ng mga sumusubaybay din sa ‘yo na ipaliwanag mo ‘yung detalye.”

Joey also called Willie to learn when to really owe up and explain sensitive issues to be fair especially to the viewers.

“Pag-aralan mo na magpaliwanag kung may dapat kang ipaliwanag na mga ‘diumano’ ay pagkakamali mo dahil pare-pareho tayo ng ginagawa, e, para sa tao. Lagi mong sinasabi ‘para sa bayan,’ pero yung mga ganung pagkakataon, paliwanag natin. Kung ano man ang kalabasan ang reaksiyon ng tao sa ‘yo, tanggapin natin,” advised Joey.

He offered another recommendation or two, but this time in typical Joey de Leon fashion.

“At isa pa, importante sa lahat, pag-aralan mong umiyak ng may luha,” he jested breaking the seriousness of the moment.

Taking another shot, Joey then proceeded to pun Willie’s pet name to his contestants to conclude his speech.

“At sa mga taga-Senado nga pala, binabati ko, nanonood. Alam n’yo inuuna n’yo ‘yang ‘Hello Garci,’ bakit hindi n’yo muna unahin ‘tong ‘Hello Papi’?”
