Rendon Labador expressed his response to the recent controversy surrounding Joey De Leon’s “lubid” joke during the Gimme 5 segment on TV5’s noontime show “E.A.T.” The contentious moment occurred when a contestant on the program inquired about items typically worn around the neck, to which Joey quipped, “Lubid, lubid. Nakakalimutan n’yo,” prompting Labador’s Instagram post.

Following the viral incident, numerous netizens urged the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) to take action against the show for Joey’s remark. It’s worth noting that Lala Sotto, who currently leads the MTRCB, is the daughter of Tito Sotto, one of the hosts of “E.A.T.”

On Instagram, Rendon shared what appeared to be a screenshot of private messages from a fan of Vice Ganda. Initially, this individual had been critical of Rendon for his commentary on “It’s Showtime.” However, they subsequently reached out to him, now urging him to also address Joey’s controversy on “E.A.T.”

“Nagalit kayo sa akin dahil idol ninyo ang sinita ko. Tapos lalapit din kayo para i-boses na maitama ang mali. Ako ang nag-iisang tao dito sa Pilipinas na nagsasabi ng mga katotohanan para maitama ang mga mali, galit pa kayo sa akin. Sino na ngayon ang may lakas ng loob pumuna sa mga yan? #LetRendonBack,” Rendon posted.
