Comedian Marissa Sanchez defended Alex Gonzaga after Arnold Clavio criticized the actions of the latter’s treatment towards a waiter later identified as Allan Cristostomo.
On January 17, Clavio posted a lengthy reaction over the cake issue of Gonzaga saying that he was not happy with what the actress did especially since he also worked as a waiter before becoming a well-known journalist.
“Mga ‘iGan , hindi ako natawa at hindi rin ako natuwa sa inasal ng aktres na si Alex Gonzaga sa isang waiter noong birthday party niya. Aaminin ko , nasaktan ako.” Arnold said.
“Walang lugar na ipahiya mo ang isang tao sa publiko kilala mo man ito o hindi. Ang biruang ganyan ay ginagawa ng magkakakilala o magkakaibigan pero hindi sa isang nilalang hindi mo naman kakilala .” he added.

Sanchez responded to Clavio’s criticisms saying that she knew the struggle being faced by Gonzaga right now because she was also a comedian.
According to her, comedians like her and Alex tend to make mistakes while making ways to be funny.
“Minsan talaga, ang komedyante no matter how funny you are, pwede ka pa rin magkamali sa isang iglap lang, before you know it, lalo na pag nadadala ka ng adrenalin or tinatawag na “Kasagsagan ng nangyayari” lahat naman nagkakamali. Kahit pa hindi komedyante?” Sanchez stated.
“I can only judge her motive. At kitang kita naman sa video that she was just plainly making pipol laugh, yun nga lang at the expense of the staff. (Sometimes di maiiwasan) Kung sakali na ang ginawa ng waiter… ginantihan niya si Alex? That would really be so amazingly funny. Iba iba ang tao. Nagkataon lang na hindi yun nagustuhan ni Kuya.” she added.
Sanchez also explained that it’s hard for comedians like Alex to make people laugh.
“Obviously you cannot please everyone. Bakit? Akala n’yo ba madali magpatawa? Hindi po.” she said.
Clavio didn’t respond to Sanchez’s comment to him.
