Ogie Alcasid's Friends Defend Him Against Dj Mo

OGIE ALCASID spoofed in his Valentine show with wife Regine Velasquez DJ Mo’s infamous video where he’s shown crying while talking on cam. A “well meaning” friend obviously twitted Mo about it as he issued a reaction on twitter pronto while the show was still going on: “just heard @ogiealcasid made fun of me crying in the abortion video. classy move bud. didnt you just have a child? glad, its alive. Hey guys, dont worry bout it. i'm sure he got a good laugh out of it. a few kids dying is pretty fucking funny. unless it’s his."

Concert director Randy Santiago says he help conceptualized the video diaries shown during the concert. “It’s not him. Is it him? We never said it’s him. Kamukha ba, kahawig ba niya? Hindi naman, a! How come he’s reacting. We never even mentioned about the subject matter na sinabi niya. Yung sa’min, actually, tungkol sa arguments ng mag-asawa.”

As another writer points out, Mo should not be so onion-skinned. “E, bakit siya, kapag nilalait niya’t ginagawa niyang katatawanan ang iba’t ibang artista sa radio show niya, okay lang sa kanya? Ngayon, re-react agad siya.”

Ogie was later said to have apologized to Mo. We asked Louie Ignacio, who directed the concert for TV, about this. “That’s real classy of Ogie. He showed humility kahit wala siyang dapat ipag-apologize kasi wala naman talagang pinakita doon about Mo or his issue. But the fact that he apologized shows how humble Ogie really is.”

We had dinner at the beautifully designed home of Ogie and wife Regine on top of a hill at Ayala Heights last Friday night. They were ecstatic over their show's being a big blockbuster and the positive feedback they’re getting for their concert. Regine herself cooked our special dinner. We asked Ogie about the Mo thing and he’d rather not talk about it at all. “Tapos na yan. Wala kaming binanggit at all about abortion. But at the same time, I texted a friend of his about it. Hindi siya mismo ang tinext ko. Basta we didn’t mean to offend anyone, maski panoorin pa niya when it’s shown later on TV.”
