In a text message gathered by Philippine Entertainment Portal or Pep.ph from MTRCB Chairman Eugenio "Toto" Villareal on March 2, 2016, the board denied that they have a meeting with Jose Manalo.
The alleged offensive joke according to some netizens came from the "kalyeserye" segment wherein Lola Nidora (Wally Bayola) showed a small jewelry box and said, "Pwede nang itapon ito."
Lola Tidora, portrayed by Paolo Ballestero said, "Ano ba, si Lolo to".
Jose's Character, Lola Tinidora then replied, "Anon'g si Lolo, 'yan yung abo ng bading kahapon."
Some viewers unfortunately connected Jose's joke to the late director Wenn Deramas who passed away on February 29, 2016, Monday.
However, some viewers clarrified that the joke was not intended for the late director but rather for the previoius Sugod-Bahay contestant last February 29 who had a gay child who actually died.
Sa mga nagtatanong kung totoo ba yung joke ni Jose about "abo ng bading kahapon", totoo po iyon. Ito ang video. Sinabi...
