Doctor apologizes over remark about Ryzza Mae Dizon’s mom

Realizing his reaction was a bit off, doctor and content creator Adrian Insigne made an apology addressed to Ryzza Mae Dizon’s mother, Rizza.

It all stemmed from a netizen's comment on Insigne's girlfriend: “Hawig po mama ni Ryzza.”

In a quick response, Insigne asked the commenter to post a photo of Dizon's mom, stressing that he would make the comparison thereafter.

Insigne's response was deemed inappropriate by netizens who felt it was a bit harsh.

Later, the doctor realized why netizens were upset by his response.

“I’m sorry. Reading my comment again, I understand why people were upset,” Insigne wrote, apologizing to Dizon's mom, who “had absolutely nothing to do with this,” after realizing that his comment appeared to have suggested that being compared to her was something that is not nice.

Insigne deleted his comment and promised he would be more careful next time.
