Doris Bigornia slammed for alleged misbehavior during The Script concert

Broadcast Journalist Doris Bigornia is under scrutiny of netizens not for her news reports, but for her alleged antics.

Bigornia reportedly behaved badly at the concert of Irish pop-rock group The Script at the Mall of Asia Arena on Friday.

A lengthy emotional rant was posted by a concert-goer Richard Lim on Sunday about his encounter with the TV Patrol reporter. Lim’s post, which he titled “The Dark Side of Doris Bigornia“, details how Bigornia and her daughter Nikki rushed to center stage, which triggered other fans to stand up as well and block his family’s view.

He recounts that the TV personality and the younger Bigornia did not mind hindering their sight by standing up in front causing others to follow them, “the concert was a seated concert but to my surprise when the artists came out, Doris Bigornia and her daughter Nikki Bigornia run [sic] straight in front covering our view which initiated the others to rush forward too (since she is a “celebrity” they assumed it was ok). The event bouncers instructed them to go back to their seats explaining to them that it was a seated concert but instead of seating down, she shove [sic] off the bouncers.”

“Chaos started with people running in front hitting me and my son. My food and drinks spilled all over the place, being stepped on, bumped and to the point that they were already pushing me and my son out of our seats. Bouncers were able to control the crowd by pushing them back but Doris and her daughter and a few people beside her resisted to leave,” he continued.

Lim could not hold back his temper anymore so he went straight to Bigornia and said, “mam, favor lang I’m seated right behind you and you are blocking my view.

“She didn’t even reply but instead looked over to the other side. My son was already hyper ventilating because it was starting to get crowded again.

“Bouncers have been trying hard to push back the crowd yet they strived hard to remain standing. Younger Bigornia even said, ‘paalisin nyo muna lahat bago kami umalis dito.'”

Lim spoke to Bigornia for the second time and said, “mam favor lang nahihilo na ang anak ko baka pwede naman tumabi na kayo para gumaya yung iba” and the news reporter replied, “Wala akong paki kahit mamatay ka dyan,” according to Lim.

Lim said he was shocked when he heard those words from a TV personality who has cultivated a “pang-masa”personality. “I was not expecting that kind of an answer from a so called media personality who runs a show titled “MUTYA NG MASA”. I wanted to keep my cool, so I replied and said “ganyan ba kayong mga taga media, sa TV lang matino, sa totoong buhay eh wala palang pakialam.” I was shouting because it was noisy and telling her that as a celebrity she should be the one showing good example, but to my dismay she just didn’t react. As if we were not there.”

Confrontation After The Script Concert

[blockquote author=””]”After the show, people went back to their seats and so did Doris and company. On our way out, we passed in front of them, his son [sic] was looking at me with a grin so I confronted them and ask the son, Lorenzo Sungalon, if he had any problem with me and he said why did I keep on looking at them. Doris said “yan ang hirap sa inyo eh, porque media ako iniipit nyo ako tapos youtube nyo agad” you are doing in purpose so that people will take a video of it and post it in youtube I replied by saying “ yun ang problema, media personality ka tapos ikaw pa ang nag pasimuno ng pag harang sa harap kaya tuloy nagayahan lahat. The daughter started shouting and cursing me and I responded by saying “ I’m not talking to you so please shut up”, then her son pushed me and said “fuck off and don’t ever tell my sister to shut up”. I told him “don’t touch me again, you don’t know me and you don’t know what I’m capable of”. He told me again to “fuck off.”[/blockquote]

After what he considered a pointless argument, he met a girl who overheard and saw the commotion, and even told him she’s planning to share it to the public so to warn media personalities not to act rude at public events.

Lim ended his note by urging fellow concertgoers who took a video about his confrontation with Bigornia to post it online.

[blockquote author=””]”After that futile argument, I didn’t see the point of continuing the conversation because she wasn’t apologetic for what she did, the son was telling me to fuck off and the daughter was cursing me in front of thousands of people still inside the Arena as if I was at fault. I just hope that this will never happen to you and your loved ones wherein these people will take advantage of their position or name. I hope this reaches the management of ABS-CBN because this is conduct unbecoming of a media personality. For those who were able to witness this incident and have a video of it, (I’m sure 1 or 2 have this because everybody was taking videos during the concert) to please post it.”[/blockquote]

He has one thing to say for the field reporter, “Do not do to others what you do not want them to do to you”.

Being a broadcaster, it is a responsibility to maintain credibility as “watchdog of the society” and not to get involved in any form of scandal. To say “wala akong paki kahit mamatay ka dyan” to someone’s child is very unbecoming of a supposedly respected member of media.

On the other hand, the son should not have been brought to the concert by his parents if they knew he might feel uncomfortable in crowd. But this is another matter.

The Dailypedia requested a statement from Bigornia,who is set to give her explanation about the issue as she is waiting for the go signal from the management.

An apology might lessen the impact, but it would be late at this point. Once said, it cannot be undone.
