After drawing flak over his now-deleted post about the heavy Edsa traffic, Richard Gomez expressed his annoyance toward “stupid writers” who wrote about his criticized sentiment.
The actor-turned-politician earlier aired his dismay after being stuck in Edsa traffic for hours.
“[Two] hours in EDSA traffic and counting. From Makati, Ayala, nasa SM Edsa pa lang ako up to now. Eh [Quezon City] ang punta ko. [One to two] hours pa ba?!” he said through his Facebook page.
“Ilang bus lang ang gumagamit ng bus lane, bakit hindi buksan during heavy traffic para mas lumuwag ang traffic?” he suggested.
This, however, irked netizens, with some pointing out how Gomez is “self-entitled” and detached from the reality the public commuters in the country face on a daily basis.
Gomez then took to his Threads page to speak on the matter, although he did not immediately address the criticisms.
“Paki-check nga kung deleted yung post ko? Pakisabi sa mga ungas na writers tingin-tingin din kapag may time,” he stated.

Gomez currently serves as the representative of the 4th District of Leyte, the position formerly held by his wife Lucy Torres. Torres is now the mayor of Ormoc City.
Meanwhile, Gomez and Torres recently celebrated the graduation of their only child Juliana. Juliana graduated cum laude from the University of the Philippines with a degree in public administration.
