Yesterday, veteran Journalist and Radio/TV host Jobert Sucaldito posted in his Facebook account the incident he had with Kapamilya actor Xian Lim during a live interview in DZMM's Mismo Program. Papa Ahwel Paz, Sucaldito's co-anchor was assigned to cover the fundraising concert of ABS-CBN at Araneta Coliseum while Sucaldito was assigned in the Studio and had a chance of interviewing some artists for the program. Interviews with Kian Cipriano, Kaye Abad, Dawn Zulueta, KC Concepcion and Robi Domingo went well until such time Papa Ahwel was able to have a chance with Xian Lim and there started the story...

Here's the complete script of Jobert Sucaldito's Facebook post.
I had one of the most memorable experiences sa aking career as a journalist and radio/tv host just tonight - memorable in the sense na nakalusot ang pambabastos sa akin ng male star na si Xian Lim. Halos mapaiyak ako sa galit while doing my job on-air not because hindi ko siya kaya pero nakaramdam ako ng sobrang pagkainsulto mula sa isang taong wala pa namang napatunayan sa industriyang ito. While I did our MISMO program sa DZMM, my co-anchor Papa Ahwel Paz was assigned to cover the fundraising concert ng ABS-CBN sa Araneta Coliseum. Ibinabato sa akin ni Papa Ahwel sa studio ang kaganapan sa Araneta via Skype - once in a while ay nagka-chance kami na makainterbyu ng ilang artists LIVE habang ako'y nagproprograma sa studio. We had nice conversations with Kian Cipriano, Kaye Abad, Dawn Zulueta, KC Concepcion and Robi Domingo. Until nagka-chance si Papa Ahwel na mahila itong si Xian Lim na katatapos lang yata ng kanilang number sa show for a short interview. We started well sa interbyuhang iyon and I even congratulated him sa natanggap nila ni Kim Chiu ng special award sa ASAP18 last Sunday. He acknowledged it naman and shared some nice points. I then followed up a cute question na pampakilig lang dahil hindi niya kasama si Kim sa production number nila - "hindi mo ba makakasama si Kim ngayong gabi?" obviously referring to the show. Short of saying kung meron ba silang duet or a number together. He asked kung ano raw ulit ang tanong ko and Papa Ahwel echoed my question - "hindi raw ba kayo magsasama ni Kim tonight?" And this hambog na male starlet na ito ay biglang nagtaray ng "ano ba namang tanong iyan" sabay tanggal ng earphone niya and walked away.
I felt slighted - nainsulto akong bigla sa tinuran ng malamyang aktor-aktoran na ito. Yes, I admit - nagalit talaga ako and I won't let this just pass by nang ganoon-ganoon na lang. I said on air that I will definitely give him a piece of my mind. The nerve of this trying hard male chauvinist na ito na mang-insulto ng isang taong wala namang sinabi o ginawang masama sa kaniya. I don't understand why this gayish-mammal gave me a full strike when all I had was the best intention to promote him and his screen partner. Ginago ako ng hinayupak na ito. After more than 30 years of being in this business, ngayon lang ako nabastos ng isang sipuning aktor-aktoran. Nakaramdam akong bigla ng awa sa aming dalawa ni Papa Ahwel Paz - a man of dignity and maingat sa kaniyang trabaho. Hindi ba marunong mag-demarcate ang lampang male starlet na ito between a serious question and a pa-cute one? I don't think Papa Ahwel and me deserve this - kung gusto niya ng gaguhan, call kami. Kung gusto niya ng suntukan, call din ako. Matalo man ako ayos lang dahil BAKLA ako pero pag natalo ko siya, lalabas na mas BAKLA siya.
After the show, I received a barrage of text messages from friends and even regular listeners and viewers ng DZMM Teleradyo - all hated him. merong isang madreng nagsabing he was truly RUDE and must be taught his GMRC which he might missed in school. One says na napakabastos niya and another one saying na napaka-mal-edukado ng dating niya.
Yes, I'm angry at this Xian Lim. After the show, I went to have coffee sa Zirkoh. Gusto kong magpalipas ng sama ng loob. Gusto kong magpahupa ng galit until I received a text message from his handler Gidget of Star Magic. She forwarded to me xXan's message - "sorry kanina na-offend kita. I meant no disrespect. Magulo at maingay sa paligid. Pasensiya na".
That easy, xian? You mean, kaya ka nakapagtaray ng "ano ba namang tanong iyan" and walked away dahil magulo at maingay sa paligid mo. Gusto mong maniwala kaming hindi mo narinig ang tanong ko - pero nakasagot ka ng "ano ba namang tanong iyan" sabay walk out. A very gayish gesture - di ko lang alam kung nakataas din ang kilay mo when you walked away because I didn't see your goddamn face then after. I may forgive you but I don't think this soon. Not at your convenience honey! I will compose myself first - titimplahin ko muna ang sarili ko kung hanggang saan ang naging tama nito sa akin. I will definitely forgive you one day - I'm sure about that but you have to learn your lessons first. Huwag masyadong mayabang Xian because you're nothing yet. You're still just a piece of shit for me dahil wala ka pang napatunayan to act that way. Wala ka pang licence to harm others - especially the feelings of seniors like us. Kahit pa halimbawang sikat na sikat ka na, wala ka pa ring karapatang magyabang at mambastos ng kapwa. Gago rin ako, xian. Baka worse pa than what you think. I know that we could live on this damn earth without each other - pero meron lang akong sinusunod na paninindigan sa buhay ko - "hindi ako nanghihingi ng respeto kanino man (because respect is gained) pero wala akong binibigyan ng karapatang bastusin ako!" Over my dead body Xian Lim or whoever you are.
This is just the beginning of a war Xian Lim. There's more in my heart na gusto ko lang iparamdam sa iyo. Let's schedule kung kailan kita patatawarin pero kailangang maramdaman mo muna ang sakit ng ginawa mong pang-iinsulto sa amin ni Papa Ahwel at sa istasyong pinaglilingkuran namin. Kung sa palagay mo'y handa ka nang humarap, just advise us. And better be good, man!
