Naglabas ng pahayag ang Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences (FAMAS) Awards kaugnay sa sentimyento ni Fernando de la Pena, anak ng batikang aktres na si Eva Darren.
Sa Facebook post ng FAMAS nitong Lunes, Mayo 27, ipinaliwanag nila kung bakit hindi siya nakasama ng kapuwa niya batikang artistang si Tirso Cruz III para mag-present ng Special Citations.
“She was part of the program in last night’s Awards Night and was supposed to present Special Citations with Mr. Tirso Cruz III. But considering that we were running a live show, and due to myriads of people present in last night’s festivities, the production team was not able to locate Ms. Darren,” saad ng FAMAS.
“This was indeed a setback in the live show and a negligence on the part of the team. Rest assured that this was not intentional and purely a misjudgment. The show is being streamed live and needed to be remedied right away. Hence, a replacement for Miss Darren was done last minute,” anila.
Dagdag pa nila: “We understand that an apology alone cannot undo the damage this might have caused Miss Darren but we are committed to make amends and rebuild her trust by a personal visit of the FAMAS Board to honor her stature, if she allows it.”
Matatandaang ibinahagi ni Fernando sa pamamagitan ng Facebook post ang umano’y “pambabastos” ng mga opisyal ng naturang award-giving body sa mismong gabi ng parangal.
