Tres Kantos gives most of their winnings to Daddy D
Winners Tres Kantos (Jovit Baldivino, Bugoy Drilon, and Dominador Aviola) on ‘We Love OPM’
On Tonight with Boy Abunda,
Jovit Baldivino, Bugoy Drilon,
and Dominador Aviola, known
as the group Tres Kantos on the
celebrity edition of the show We
Love OPM, together with their
coach Erik Santos talked about
their triumphs and trials after
being declared winners.
“Yes, it’s a competition, pero
dapat makita ng mga tao na
you’re having fun,” Erik Santos
shared on his challenges as the
team’s coach.
Jovit also talked about the
time wherein he felt he let his team
down, “three days po akong hindi
umattend ng rehearsals dahil may
nauna po akong [commitment].
Ito po yung isa pang masama,
hindi po ako makapagreply kasi
hindi ko po alam yung sasabihin
ko.”
On the other hand Bugoy
forgot the lyrics to the song
during one of their performances
as, “nawala po sa isip ko na
competition yun,” he said. “So
akala ko taping, pwedeng ulitin
kaya nagsabi ako, ‘sorry sorry
sorry! One more time!’ Pero sabi
nila, hindi because magiging unfair
ka sa ibang contestants. Doon po
ako nag-breakdown na mali yung
ginawa ko. Dapat nagpatuloy
na lang ako. But I accepted my
mistake po. I accepted and I
learned from it po.”
Daddy D defined the word
teamwork when he responded
to these slip-ups. Having won
P1M, the group shared that from
the start, they’ve already agreed
on how they were to split their
winnings. “Una pa lang nung pinag-
uusapan namin na kung sakaling
manalo, kung ano namanshare
ko, ibibigay ko din talaga kay
Daddy D,” Erik declared. While
Jovit said, “siyempre po, kay
Daddy na lang po muna yung mas
malaki. Kasi po may pangarap
po siya. Pangarap din po niyang
magpagawa ng bahay.”
A grateful Daddy D then
remarked, “alam mo sir, simula
nung bata pa ako, hindi ako
nakaranas ng magandang buhay.
Nung bata pa ako, nag-aaral pa
ako ng elementary, naglalako lang
kami ng gulay ng mama ko.”
On a more personal note,
during the segment Fast Talk,
Boy asked Bugoy, “oo o hindi,
mahal mo pa ba si Liezl Garcia?”
The singer answered, “yes, of
course.”
Meanwhile, when Jovit was
asked, “oo o hindi, handa mo
na bang pakasalan ang girlfriend
mo?” His reply was, “hindi pa.”•

Tito Sotto: Controversial remarks ‘taken out of context’
Senator Vicente “Tito” Sotto
III said his perceived “victim
blaming” remarks towards a
female winner of an Eat Bulaga
segment last July 9 was taken out
of context as he faced criticism
from the Philippine Commission
on Women (PCW).
The commission, which aims
to safeguard women and gender
equality in the country, said on
Tuesday that Sotto’s comments
implying that it was the fault
of the contestant, identified as
Katrina Conde, that she was
taken advantage by a male friend
because she was drunk, are “clear
examples of victim blaming and
shaming.”
Sotto said he did not have
any intention to shame Conde,
who was left by her husband after
she was accused of infidelity. The
senator added that he was merely
suggesting that a married woman
should not be drinking with other
men.
“Sabi niya kasi ay nalaman
ng asawa niya na nakikiinom-
inom siya sa mga lalaki doon
sa lugar nila,” he said. “So the
comment that we had was, ‘You’re
a married woman, may asawa ka,
kababae mo na tao nakikishot-
shot ka roon sa mga tao sa labas.
Pagbibintangan ka talaga.”
“Eh kasi pinagbintangan
daw siya that she had a relation
with one of the men. That’s all.
That’s the context. I don’t know
where their story came from na
napahiya raw iyong babae. Siya
nagkukuwento noon. So what
are they saying. There’s no more
freedom of expression or freedom
of speech?
“What I was looking at really
was there should be a preservation
of institution of marriage. When
you’re married, you act like
a married man or a married
woman,” Sotto insisted.
Sotto even accused some
who posted an allegedly edited
version of his conversation with
Conde on social media with the
Senator Tito Sotto
malicious intent to paint him in a
bad light. “They should watch the
episode, not the edited version
on FB. Pag in-edit mo, puwede
mo talaga pasamain. But it’s not
true,” he said.
