Veteran broadcaster Arnold Clavio became a Twitter trending topic following his commentary against two members of the Philippine Azkals who were charged with sexual harrassment by AFC Match Commissioner Cristy Ramos.
Referring to Azkals Lexton Moy and Angel Guirado, Clavio on GMA-7’s “Unang Hirit” March 13 episode said:
“Kaya talagang ano na...aral na sa inyo ‘yan. Yayabang n’yo akala nyo, porke dinadagsa kayo ng mga fans, gu-gwapo nyo eh. Parang ‘God’s gifts to women’.”
“Ngayon nag-sorry para daw sa isa nalang kasama. Sa’n ka nakakita ng Azkal na may suso? Anong cup B? Cup B sa isang kasama? Palusot na lang ‘yon. Sana nag sorry...sorry na lang talaga ‘di ba?”
“‘Di ko kayo ka-kultura kasi wala dito’t wala dito (points to his chest and head). ‘Di naman kayo Pilipino eh. Nagpapanggap lang kayong kayumanggi hindi kayo dito lumaki. Mahirap ‘yon. Insensitive.”
