He talked about how he would have handled the situation differently and with humor, rather than outright swearing at the rude fan.</p><p>He also said that &quot;it&#x27;s not cool&quot; for rock artists to swear publicly, especially during performances, as &quot;you would not gain the respect of other people, listeners&quot; by constantly doing so. </p><p>On &quot;Tonight With Boy Abunda&quot; Wednesday, Corpuz explained that the latter half of his comments on the issue (the &quot;it&#x27;s not cool&quot; part) were no longer about Labajo. </p><figure class="op-interactive"><div id="IVS_ABS_Body_Video_1_Container"> <ivs-player id="IVS_ABS_Body_Video_1" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-vid="1388425" data-ivs-floating="1"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/iframe-parent.js"></script> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script> </div></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><p>He reasoned that the question that prompted that answer was about rock artists in general. </p><p>&quot;If ever mayroon akong regret is siguro probably next time I won&#x27;t comment na lang,&quot; he said. &quot;Ang linis din kasi nu&#x27;ng question.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Parang ang question lang naman, &#x27;Sa tingnin mo ba cool or hindi cool iyong mga rakistang nagmumura? What do you think about iyong mga rakistang nagmumura?&#x27; </p><p>&quot;So iyon lang naman iyong comment eh. Pero na-tie up kasi siya doon kasi iyon [the Labajo incident] ang pinanggagalingan eh.&quot; </p><p>He also revealed that he has cleared things up with Labajo, who apparently took offense at first with his answer.
