Alfred Vargas draws flak for muckraking political rivals
Obviously disgusted, talent manager and blogger Ogie Diaz reposted a video uploaded on the Kilusan Kontra Korapsiyon Facebook page where Vargas assaulted leaders of his political opponents
Quezon City councilor and actor Alfred Vargas caused a stir on social media after mouthing scatty remarks against his political rivals during a sortie.
Obviously disgusted, talent manager and blogger Ogie Diaz reposted a video uploaded on the Kilusan Kontra Korapsiyon Facebook page where Vargas assaulted leaders of his political opponents.
“Matikas, ‘di ba? ‘Yan ang gusto natin kasi kami, halimbawa, kami ni Congressman PM (PM Vargas, his brother), kapag namimili kami, pinipili namin ‘yung mga magaganda’t guwapo (Elegant, right? That’s what we like because we, for example, me and Cong. PM, when we choose, we chose those who are beautiful and handsome),” Vargas said.

Then he took a not-so-subtle swipe at the leaders of his political rivals.
“Kasi kung titingnan ninyo, ‘yung mga nakukukuhang leaders ng mga kalaban namin mga mukhang addict (Because if you look at it, the leaders that our enemies get look like addicts),” he said.
“Hindi, totoo, ‘di ba? Saka may mga utang. Mga nangungutang saka ‘di nagbabayad (No, it’s true, right? And they have debts. They make debts and then they don’t pay),” he added.
Continuing his tirade, he said: “Kaya sa tingin ko colonel marami kayong ikukulong na mga adik (I think colonel you will jail so many addicts).”
Reacting to the video, Diaz said: “Baka gustong linawin ito ni Alfred Vargas. Puro nega ang comment sa kanya. Bakit dumating na raw siya sa ganitong point ng pamumulitika (Alfred Vargas might want to clarify this. Comments against him were all negative. Why did he reach this point in politicking)?”
Netizens bashed Vargas for his uncalled-for statements.
“Grabeng pag uugali yan. Sayo pa talaga maririnig ng mga tao/kabataan yang word na adik Alfred Vargas! Naturingan kang leader tapos ganyan inaasal mo! No to Vargas! (What an attitude. It was from you that the people/youth would hear the word addict Alfred vargas!! You were like a leader and then you behaved like that),” one netizen wailed.
“Tapos gustong irespeto natin? Pano, e wala syang respeto sa iba!. (And then he wants us to respect him? How, when he has no respect to others),” another said.
Any comment, Mr. Vargas?
