“Umpisahan na kagyat ang pagdinig dito at unahin harapin ang mga dapat baguhin,” with this said, the actor some DDS and started calling him as "balimbing."
Because aside from the disagreement about the network's channels and pay per view issue, it can be remembered that the president countlessly called out ABS CBN for being "bias" and for "hurting his feelings."
