Of late, horror stories about social media sensation Diwata have flooded the internet.
Stories of snubbery, of bad attitude and ungratefulness have seeped through the rough edges of Diwata’s very dark skin.
From his lowly and scandalous beginning, Diwata rose above his life’s challenges, turning his measly capital into a business that was loved by the hoi polloi.
His Pares Overload food business has become a mammoth hit to the masses who flock his near stinky stall in Pasay. All of them want to have a taste of the now famous Pares.
Not surprisingly, vloggers of all sort, paid Diwata a visit, hoping to get a chunk of his popularity as his kumikitang kabuhayan had reached enormous level. No sooner, celebrity vloggers have joined the “fray”, all of them cashing in on Diwata’s overnight popularity. All they want is to get a big chunk of Diwata’s social media audience to boost their vlogs, never mind if they have gotten “cheap” in the process.
With his mula-Aparri-hanggang-Jolo popularity, Diwata showed his true color (as if it wasn’t obvious, ‘no) and began displaying his rude behavior sa salita, diwa at gawa.
His snubbing spree of those wanting a selfie or a mere birthday greeting incensed netizens who reminded him of his gutter beginning.
Now, reports said that the law of diminishing return has caught Diwata’s business that long lines of people wanting to taste his pares have gone. Stories of Diwata’s dwindling popularity were slowly cascading on social media.
Unperturbed, Diwata excitedly announced his new pares branch in Quezon City which recently had its soft opening.
In exasperation perhaps, bashers have picked up a seemingly very apt adjective to best describe Diwata – multong bakla.
To that, we say amen!!!
WHEN NO ONE IS REALLY LOOKING
A FAMAS social media officer has come out to shed light into the now infamous snubbery of veteran actress Eva Darren who was initially asked to be a presenter but was eventually booted out of the list during the awards night.
The officer countered the official FAMAS statement which said that they cannot locate Ms. Eva which was why they hurriedly looked for a replacement, a never-heared singer.
The officer revealed that Ms. Eva was really not even in the official list of presenters.
The gaffe further reached gargantuan proportion as it bore a new controversy. What was being talked about in hushed conversations – that they really didn’t look for Ms. Eva – was true after all.
All the careful planning and brainstorming went to naught as the controversy proved to be the rain in the FAMAS parade.
With this, there is an obvious display of unprofesiomalism in an institution which unwittingly become a mockery of jokes.
When no one is really looking, how can one be found?
