On November 3, comedian and talent manager Ogie Diaz tweeted that he declined to attend a press conference because of a producer’s attitude.
Diaz said the elderly producer has “disgusting” behavior.
“Iniimbita ako last week sa isang presscon ng movie. Tinanggihan ko,” he wrote.
“Nakakadiri ang pag-uugali ng matandang producer. Toxic at bastos sa babae.”

Diaz didn’t mention names, but netizens speculated that he was referring to Atty. Ferdinand Topacio.
Topacio has an upcoming documentary film called Mamasapano: Now It Can Be Told, which discusses the facts that led to the demise of 44 Special Action Force (SAF) members in Maguindanao in 2015.
Topacio’s Twitter got suspended when users massively reported it following his decision to call former vice president Leni Robredo “Lenipple.”
