Ogie Diaz, Wants to Clarify Alfred Vargas on ‘Politizing’ Issue
Well-known showbiz insider Ogie Diaz has reacted to a video circulating on social media involving re-electionist councilor of the 5th district of Quezon City and actor Alfred Vargas. The video alleges Vargas’ alleged “politicizing” method that has caused comments and criticism from netizens.

“It’s embarrassing for the different leaders. You yourself, the councilor, are the one who is insulting those leaders, considering that you are so tall that it hurts when you fall.”

“It’s embarrassing for you brothers and sisters if we are addicts. What else are you STEALING District Five? Slow down when you speak, maybe it will come back to you!!”

“Wow, shame on the addicted leader! What’s with that biting lip of yours Alfred hahaha, is there something wrong with you hahahaha. Don’t judge because people don’t like you, they will criticize and judge you!!! Where are your manners!”

“Song to you Konsi! We, your leaders, are also friends, but we have never had a fight. Because of what you did, there will be a ‘GAP’. We love our friends, even if we are different, we support each other, and there is respect for each other.”

Ogie shared the said video on his Facebook post, which was first published by the “Kilusan Kontra Korapsiyon.” In the caption of the post, Ogie mentioned that the kind of “politics” shown by Vargas could be the source of issues, and warned about its impact in the coming days. Ogie also mentioned a statement written in the caption: “THIS IS HOW THE VARGAS BROTHERS TREAT PEOPLE IF THEY CAN DO IT TO OTHERS, THEY CAN DO IT TO YOU.”

Coming to the video, Vargas’ statement can be heard saying, “Stylish, right? That’s what we want. Because we, for example, Cong. PM ​​and I, when we buy ours, we choose the beautiful and handsome ones. Then if you look, the sitting leaders of our opponents, they look like addicts.”

Vargas continued his statements against his political opponents, saying that many of his opponents’ sitting leaders are “addicts” and “have debts.” Vargas added that, on the other hand, they plan to take action to catch the “addicts.”

Because of this, Ogie Diaz reacted to his post and said, “Maybe Alfred Vargas wants to clarify this. The comment on him is all negative. Why has he come to this point of politicizing?” According to Ogie, the comments that can be read on Vargas’ post are sad, which seem to show the negative impact of his statements.
