It’s not yet over.
GMA-7’s “Eat Bulaga” host Joey de Leon has continued to post cryptic tweets last Tuesday, some say are quips against rival noontime program of ABS-CBN “It’s Showtime.”
In between promoting his shows and “AlDub,” the hit love team of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza (popularly known as Yaya Dub in the show’s segment “Kalyeserye”), De Leon has supposedly been making fun of Showtime and its host Vice Ganda.
Such speculations were further bolstered when he started referring to horse racing, supposedly alluding to Vice Ganda who has played the lead role in the remake of the film “Petrang Kabayo.”
The first tweet “Like LOVE, ang CAREER ay hindi minamadali. Ang minamadali lang na karera ay sa KABAYO! #ALDUBKeyToForever” (Like LOVE, CAREER should not be rushed. The only thing that is rushed in a race is the HORSE!) received almost 8,000 retweets while the second “I repeat, wag madaliin ang career. Treat it like LOVE. Wag itulad sa karera ng KABAYO, tapos agad! #ALDUBKeyToForever” (I repeat, don’t rush career. Treat it like LOVE. Don’t treat it like a horse race that easily ended!) received 13,000 retweets.

“Ikaw na! Henyo ka talaga. I really like this,” @pipo_cruise posted.
(You already! You are really a genius. I really like this.)
However, there were also a few commenters who accused him of being disrespectful.
One user said Eat Bulaga’s fans act like dogs, following the example of the host.
“You’ve become a very mean person, so disappointing. I was even a fan of your wit before. Not anymore. May God forgive you and your arrogance,” said a user with the Twitter handle @april_luther.
Meanwhile, Aldub fan @Aldub_CA_USA said De Leon should not be boastful. “Bagsak na nga ang kabila, talagang binabagsak pa lalo. You’re not following lola’s lessons.”
(The rival show’s rating is already low, yet you are dragging it down even more. You’re not following lola’s lessons.)
“Sana tama na ang mga parinig. Use your influence to spread good vibes,” the Twitter user further said.
(I hope you will stop making those hints. Use your influence to spread good vibes.)
@AngPoetNyo i just hope that sir joey will stop from making disparaging comments about Vice because that is a sign of immaturity sir.

De Leon is not backing down though and has been responding to his “haters.”
Finally, HINDI ko tinatawag na hayop ang isang tao kung sya ay TAO. KAYO nagpahiwatig nito. Sino ngayon walang respeto?#ALDUB15thWeeksary

(Finally, NEVER will I call someone an animal if he or she is HUMAN. YOU hinted it. Who has no respect now?)
“Yun mga Haters, bashers, deep ****, este defenders NO Trick or Treat, puro BAD TRIP! Puro kayo MURA, magMAHAL naman kayo!#ALDUB15thWeeksary” he posted on October 29.
(Those Haters, bashers, deep ****, I mean defenders NO Trick or Treat, all BAD TRIP! You all say bad words, you should spread love!)
This is not the first time that De Leon has traded barbs with rivals or detractors. KS/RAM

(When your cock loses, don’t get mad at the winner. You made your bet! You can change and bet on us, I mean on us, the winner cock.)
Sa mga may galit at sama ng loob, hindi pa huli ang lahat…kayo lang. #ALDUB15thWeeksary
