Actress Aiko Melendez just gave vlogger-influencer Buknoy Glamurrr or Andrew Luis Lapid in real life, a piece of her mind.
It all started when Glamurr made a statement recently in his YouTube post, which made a suggestive reference to tricycle drivers.
He said: “Ang gusto ko talagang sabihin sa inyo is ‘wag na ‘wag kayong sumukong mangarap. ‘Wag na ‘wag kayong sumuko na tuparin ‘yung mga pangarap ninyo kasi kung hindi kayo magsusumikap sa buhay, walang wala kayong mararating tulad nito.” The thing is, he said this while motioning to a tricycle driver which just came by.“Gusto ko lamang humingi ng tawad sa mga nagawa kong kasalanan, dahil inaamin ko po na mali ako sa part na hindi ko nilinaw yung sinasabi ko.
“Gusto ko lang humingi ng apology, na pasensya na po sa lahat ng nagawa ko or sa mga nagawa ko. Gusto ko lang sana linawin sa inyo na hindi po ako nagsasalita against tricycle drivers. Sa mga nasaktan, na-offend, nagalit, nainis, na-badtrip, na-bwisit at siyempre na-down na tricycle drivers, wala po akong minamaliit,” he explained.
In the end, he asked for understanding, appealing that like all other people, he also makes mistakes. He asked to not be bashed further anymore, particularly by those who he says do not know the real story.“Before you made a mark you started as a nobody. And there is nothing wrong with that. Sometimes low profile life is more peaceful,”She felt Glamurrr was “lucky and had your break and became an ‘influencer’ .
“Next time you look down on people, take a good look at yourself and truly see what you really are and where your dignity lies. You just lost my vote. And I know a lot will follow,” Melendez declared. “As the saying goes, ‘be good to people on your way up, because they’re the same people you will see on your way down. Tsk!!! Influencer daw.”
