Because his kids with ex-wife Alma Moreno got hurt, he also felt hurt.
That’s what Joey Marquez told Melba R. Llanera of PEP.ph when the entertainment website asked for his reaction to Alma Moreno’s awkward interview with Karen Davila on ANC’s Headstart.
The two were previously married and have four kids: Yeoj, WynWyn, VJ, and MM.
“Pag ang mga anak ko ang nasasaktan, nasasaktan din ako. Pag anak ko ang sinasaktan, nagagalit ako,” Marquez said.
However, he was quick to say he’s a fair person and he understands Karen Davila was just doing her job.
“Hindi mo maalis kay Karen yun kasi trabaho yun, it’s her credibility… Trabaho niya na ipaalam sa tao ang kapasidado ng mga tumatakbo.”
His message to people who says Alma should not run? You can’t stop her.
“Karapatan ng bawat isa ang tumakbo kasi yun ang nakalagay sa konstitutsyon. Hindi mo puwedeng pigilan ang kahit na sino [na tumakbo], kahit na teacher, kahit na mahirap o mayaman. Mahirap kuwestyunin ang sinasabi ng batas na lahat puwede tumakbo.”
If there’s anything people should question and/or blame, it’s the constitution and the legislators behind it.
“Kuwestyunin natin nang sabay-sabay yung mga legislators natin na sana lagyan ng qualifications ng isang tumatakbo. Mga specific na qualifications, like pag president ka, heto ang educational background mo, academic background mo.”
He added: “Wala akong sinisisi dito, e. Kung mayroon man akong sinisisi dito, dapat gawin nating specific ang mga qualifications.”
Ohkay.
