Korina gets Booed!

I read one time on a newspaper saying Korina Sanchez, the TV-anchor-turned-politician's-wife (and probably a soon-to-be-first-lady if Mar Roxas, his husband wins the election tomorrow), got booed on a Tear for Fears concert at Araneta Coliseum. I did not really pay any attention on the said issue since it's just a small matter, "no big deal", as they would say. 


Just this evening, my friend, Nayz pinged me on Facebook chat about the nonsense issue. She asked me to write an article about it so i hurriedly  pieced every stories from different websites about it and, boy, was i wrong! The stories, as i get more and more information, got more interesting. I searched on Youtube for the said controversial video and there! I found one.

Below is the video which shows the flashing of Korina's hand with "L" sign which stands for his husband's political party, the Laban. As the camera flashed her with her "L" hand, that was when she got booed! But she denied all of it!

The said incident was posted on twitter with TJ Manotoc's (a reporter of ABS-CBN) account. He said, "For those asking, korina was shown when TFF was off d stage. So dey showed people in d crowd going nuts screaming. She also did d Laban sign." 

There were even more hilarious comments about the issue and according to Spot.ph, one twitter account user tweeted that, "Nice to see that Korina was booed in ‘her’ own coliseum. Hehehe."

Immediately, Korina asked for a presscon and said she wasn't booed! She didn't even know the camera was on her. But the video proves every move Korina did. She even flashed her hand twice for the Laban sign. Take a look on the video.

I thought this whole issue is not for a laughing matter. This should be respected since the person involved is a respected journalist. But then again, for Christ's sake! This is a concert which is meant for people to enjoy. Not to "flash" your political color! I also feel so disappointed on what Korina did about asking for a presscon to make a lie about it.  It's not an appropriate thing to do for a  career-woman. So, what do you think about the incident?

the crowd did the right thing! korina deserved getting booed. people opted to flock to the big dome to watch TFF, to free their mind off from the crazy world of politics.

yeah. i guess you're right. it's not the right place to start a campaing. even if she "didn't know the camera was on her". it's still not the right place. thanks for commenting!
