“I also told you in one my ‘tirades’ that I find that you have no empathy, how can you be a journalist if you lack this basic ability to understand people’s problems (not mine). Isn’t journalism about the story, not the journalist? But in your case, nobody is more important to Atom Araullo than Atom Araullo. And you say you cringe at being called a celebrity, a star. How hypocritical. Don’t bother to cringe anymore because you revel in it. You make commercials now and you exploited the Marawi bakwit by making that offensive commercial featuring yourself, monologuing like Citizen Jake, all under the sponsorship of McDo.”
“I may have my demons to deal with but you have yours too, my pompous friend. So accept that you are a celebrity and don’t use the noble profession of journalism to hide your inadequacies as a human being. You know how your performance was enhanced and ‘fixed’ in the editing. That I had to use 2 cameras all the time in anticipation of this. That it’s how the film was put together that made you look good. You won’t want me to upload your most horribly acted scenes, and the one that had my team rolling in laughter everytime they saw it. I tried to keep that scene by modifying the editing flow but i was overruled by my team who told me in no uncertain terms that that that scene had to go. So folks, there are always two sides to any story. And this is mine. – Mike De Leon.”
“Oh. I forgot to add this. Having admitted that I’m a deeply troubled person, i will make no excuses for it – not even the usual “artists are temperamental and accountable to no one but their art.” but atom pretends to embrace the universe, when all the time, he is only embracing himself. This is called narcissism. – Mike De Leon.”
