Ogie Diaz sarcasm on DENR Usec influence post for COVID-19 treatment

Here’s what Ogie Diaz commented on the post of DENR Usec. Antiporda’s post

Department of Environment and Natural Resources Undersecretary Benny Antiporda revealed in his recent Facebook post that he tested positive for COVID-19 and comedian-talent manager Ogie Diaz commented “sarcasm” on this.

The government official said that even though he can use his “influence” to have a room in Capitol Medical Hospital because of his friends and the people he helped in the past, he did not avail this privilege.

“SA HALIP NA KUNIN AY IBINIGAY KO NA LANG PO ITO SA INA NG ISANG KAPATID SA MEDIA NA SENIOR CITIZEN NA MALUBHA ANG KALAGAYAN,” the DENR Usec. said in his post.

He added that he and his wife just chose to stay at home. This post of the Usec. Antiporda received a comment from Ogie Diaz. Apparently, they know each other personally as they call each other “pare”.

The comedian said, “Get well soon, pare. Akala ko nga ikaw may ari ng Capitol eh.” The government official apparently, heard the “sarcasm” in the tone of Ogie’s comment.

“What a sarcasm Pareng Ogie Diaz, I pray to God that He protects you and your family. If needed dont hesitate to call me baka may tao pa ring naniniwala sa akin tulad mo,” Antiporta said.

Then, Ogie replied that even though they have different political views but “iisa lang ang bituka natin.”

Prior to this post of the DENR Usec., he shared his selfie being provided with oxygen from a tank. Behind him was a medical personal wearing PPE. Antiporda shared this funny caption: “CHECK UP TIME COVID TELETUBBIESON THE MOVE KAYA NATIN ITO.”
