Sa social media idinaan ni Direk Erik Matti ang sentimyento niya kay John Arcilla na diumano’y hindi man lang in-acknowledge ang pelikulang On The Job: The Missing 8 sa kanyang naging speech sa Senado nung amyendahan nito ang isang resolusyon na kumikilala sa trabaho ni John bilang aktor.Si John ay gumanap ng karakter ni Sisoy Salas sa pelikulang On the Job: The Missing 8.“Hi John Arcilla. Please stop gaslighting me in your private messages making me feel like I overreacted on your deliberate remiss to mention our film On The Job: The Missing 8 that gave you the Volpi Cup in the Venice Film Festival,” mensahe ng direktor sa<a href="http://ent.abs-cbn.com/dirtylinen"> Dirty Linen</a> actor.Dagdag pa nito, “Your constant posts mentioning me in gratitude for the award over and over again already feels like a sarcastic insulting mention (even if you probably mean it by heart), as if my issue is that I needed you to recognize and thank me in your posts, which is not really the whole point of why I called you out. I don’t need you to thank me. Stop patronizing me. Your performance is yours. Thank the movie that made it possible to give you the chance to bring Sisoy Salas to life.<div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/2/28/john-arcilla-thanks-erik-matti-as-he-looks-back-on-huge-win-1011" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BASAHIN: John Arcilla thanks Erik Matti as he looks back on huge win </a></div>“Let’s move on from this. And I mean move on from this. As in, now. Your social media posts are different from your private messages to me. Stop posting just for damage control.“I just wanted you to realize that every piece of recognition and accolade we get in the work we do is really done by a team of hardworking staff and crew that made it possible. That your Volpi Cup is not just about you and your talent. That in a lousy movie without the blood sweat and tears of talented and skilled filmmakers, John Arcillla’s performance will not be recognized.“I hope that with this, you start to realize that anything we get out of the movies we make, no matter how talented we are, is really not just about us but because of the hardwork of everyone involved in the making of it. “You are not the film. I am not the film. A film is the sum of everyone working on it not just you and me.“This ends now.”Buong pagpapakumbaba namang nagbigay ng kanyang panig si John sa isyu kasabay na rin ang paghingi ng paumanhin sa nangyari.“It was not a speech. It was a post.The film was mentioned in the senate televised. Then it was on the news that night. So it is already a common knowledge that the Volpi cup is On the Job the Missing 8, Erik Matti and me, and long before even the Senate Resolution was made.“Since it is already a common knowledge. The first post is to thank the authors of the resolution. The honorable senators.“And I apologized to you at once Erik on my text personally. I even said ‘mea culpa’ even if the plan was to have a three day installation of posts, that could easily be mistaken as an alibi now.“The second day will be thanking the gift givers. And third day is to post the RESOLUTION itself and that means we and the film are all mentioned in the Resolution and definitely everything will be on the caption.“I did not post these reasons because I wish things to sink in first. But it seems not.“The pictures of friendship is for you Direk and our colleagues to realize we have a good relationship, were not even enemies and we can actually talk about things like friends, colleagues or at least a team because thats how I see us. Why are we exchanging words on social media?” pahayag ng aktor.<div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/2/14/john-arcilla-sylvia-sanchez-alessandra-de-rossi-panalo-sa-37th-star-awards-for-movies-2153" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BASAHIN:John Arcilla, Sylvia Sanchez, Alessandra de Rossi, panalo sa 37th Star Awards for Movies </a></div>Nagpaliwanag din si John kung bakit paulit-ulit niyang nire-repost ang kanyang speech sa Facebook.“The repost of speeches is to remind you and everyone that I never failed to recognize the Film which means the issue about the post is totally UNINTENTIONAL and a result of misunderstanding.“I apologize once again. And yes, I am not the Film and You are not the Film It is not even the Producer’s, the crew or the production staff per se, we do it to live literally and purposely to dream for a better life.“We create films and we tell stories to make this world a friendlier and a better place even if its too IDEAL, we still wish it to be, where friendships and forgiveness are more valuable than anything, unless someone commited a crime or a mortal sin.“I am so sorry for this. It was not my intention but since you were offended Erik, again I will apologize here on social media even if I already Apologized personally on our thread. “I also end it here,” huling paliwanag ng aktor.<div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div>
