Lea Salonga must read Arnel Ramos’s aria which makes a lot of sense.
“PROUD TO BE “MABABAW”: By this time, one expects Tony and Olivier winner Lea Salonga to be astute and sensitive enough to know na may tamang panahon ang pagpapaka-profound.
“Bigla tuloy naalala ng sambayanan na before Miss Saigon and Sana Maulit Muli, you appeared in Puto. Grabe, ang lalim kaya ng pelikulang ‘yun. Hindi ko pa rin maarok ’til now.”
That was Arnel’s simple yet tagos sa pusong aria. Oo nga naman. Before you made a mark as an international Broadway singer, and world renowned at that, you were once in a “mababaw” kind of film.
Actually, using mababaw is an indirect swipe to people who hardly watch English shows, who hardly knew Broadway and the like. Mababaw, to us, is a very condescending word.
Kahapon, inilabas namin ang “kababawan” post ni Lea sa social media na pinaniniwalaan ng marami na patama sa AlDub. Kaliwa’t kanan ang natanggap niyang pamba-bash from netizens.
But she denied na sina Alden at Yaya Dub ang tinutukoy niya. Hindi raw siya aware about AlDub.
