HATAW! D'yaryo ng Bayan hatawtabloid.com
NITONG Sabado ay ipinalabas sa Magpakailanman ang life story ni DJ Loonyo.
Pero ilang sandali matapos itong umere ay nag-post sa kanyang Facebook account ang ex-girlfriend ng dancer/choreographer at tinawag ito na “pa-victim.”
Isang open letter para kay DJ Loonyo ang inilabas ng babae na nagdetalye tungkol sa kanilang relasyon, mula sa ligawan hanggang hiwalayan noong siyam na buwang buntis siya, hanggang sa malungkot na pagkawala ng kanilang anak na lalaki.
“Ako po yang nanay tung anak ni Rhemuel,” pagpapakilala ni Aika Flores.
“’Di ko na mapigilan di magsalita kasi sobra na. Sobrang pagmamalinis at kasinungalingan na ng taong to. Di ko naman na kailangan talaga pabanguhin pangalan ko as his ex girlfriend pero as the mother of his child, sobra na,” pahayag nito.
Ayon pa kay Aika, dalawang beses lang nag-reach out sa kanya si DJ Loonyo para makita ang kanilang anak. Una at huling beses nakita ni DJ Loonyo ang bata nang nasa ospital na pumanaw ito noong 2017.
“Dinalaw mo ba uli? Kelan pa yun, 2017 pa. 2020 na, nadalaw mo ba? After ng libing niya ni isang beses di mo na siya dinalaw. Kaya wag ka pa victim.”
Nang nakarating sa kampo ni DJ Loonyo ang mga sinabi ni Aika, naglabas ang kampo ng dancer/choreographer ng opisyal nitong pahayag.
“Ngayong July 19, 2020, umere sa programang ‘Magpakailanman’ ang life story ni Rhemuel Lunio, a.k.a. DJ Loonyo.
“Naturally and expectedly, there are varied reactions to the story as it was told through the eyes of the creative staff of the program.
“In relation to a specific post by his ex-girlfriend/partner and mother of his departed son, this is what our team would like to express on this matter.
“First and foremost, DJ Loonyo conducted an interview to share intimate and publicly unknown details about his life for the coverage, with the request to omit or leave out some sensitive parts, particularly pertaining to his son.
“We, as a management and team, signed a contract allowing the program to enhance certain aspects of his life, because it is still, in fact, for a dramatic TV show retelling.
“We worked together with the writing staff to limit the refe0rences to the past love story, and asked to change the name references, or as much as possible, edit out parts that were not true to life.
“With all due respect to the respectable program and its host, Ms. Mel Tiangco, the retelling was as respectfully told as was possible, and shed light on both the positive and negative aspects of his life.
“We understand that in this situation, no one can really be truly fulfilled, because in situations like this, emotions run high and there is really the chance that someone can speak negatively.
“On behalf of Rhemuel or DJ Loonyo (however you may want to refer to him), we would like to sincerely apologize to the individuals or their families who were offended by the retelling of his life story.
“We genuinely mean no offense, nor wish any ill or harm on anyone, most of all that of his son.
“As you may have seen from the episode, he is far from being a perfect person, and public perception these days is quite a big deal. So the mudslinging, the name- calling, the hurtful words that you find yourself typing in the comment section is understandable… but also, quite unfortunate and unnecessary. Please bear in mind that in as much as freedom of speech is a right given to all, it does not mean we can use our voice or our words to cut wounds into others, especially if we do not really know the whole story.
“When our team agreed to give the show the rights to air and retell the story of his life, it was not done with malice or selfish intent, but ultimately to show the viewers that no matter how bad things may go in your life, there will always be a reason to keep fighting and striving, and hopefully, God will give you His grace in the end.
“Thank you to those who stay supportive, and who think before they type or click away.
“Thank you for your understanding.”
