UMANI ng batikos sa social media ang singer na si Moira dela Torre matapos mag-perform sa isang concert na gumugunita sa ika-101 kaarawan ng dating presidenteng Ferdinand Marcos.
Dahil sa patuloy na pambabatikos, napilitan ang singer na mageksplika ukol dito. Aniya, hindi raw niya alam na para sa kaarawan ni Marcos ang concert.
“This Marcos Fest as supposed to be called I-Millennial Fest. I AM NOT A MARCOS APOLOGETIC (sic). Never will I be,” sabi niya sa Twitter.
Dagdag pa niya, “From the earlier reminders till before we got there, (the organizers) addressed it as the Ilocano Millennial Night. Not once was (Marcos’) name brought up. So let me be clear about this: I performed for the people of Ilocos and NOT for Marcos.”
Hindi pa siya natapos doon. Tungkol naman sa organizer, aniya, “I think he purposely left that out to keep us from not accepting the event… which makes me even angrier.”
Mabilis na sinagot ni Aian Raquel, head of the Ilocos Norte Tourism office, ang paratang ni Moira.
Aniya sa isang statement sa Rappler: “The organizers informed the talent agent and her management of the name, theme, sequence of the concert. She was not forced in any way to perform in the concert and as seen in videos and photos, everything went very well during the event.”
“We feel that it’s unprofessional for them to be making such unnecessary comments after the event. She wasn’t forced to do anything,” pahabol pa ni Raquel.
Naku, ang gulo!
