Doris Bigornia speaks up on The Script concert incident
'When Mr. Lim said hurtful words to my children, I had to step in'

MANILA, Philippines – Broadcast journalist and Mutya ng Masa host Doris Bigornia has released a statement on Facebook following reports about her alleged misbehavior during The Script concert held on Friday, April 17. 

“Today, I am breaking my silence to air my side and to set the record straight on an article posted on Facebook by Mr. Richard Lim complaining about my behavior while watching a rock concert by The Script last Friday,” she wrote.

“When The Script came out on stage, many among the audience stood up and welcomed the band. Like them and many others, my daughter and I rushed to the front or the mosh pit to get close to our favorite band, which is typical in all rock concerts. I apologize to Mr. Lim if our actions caused any inconvenience or upset him and his son in any way. It was certainly not our intention to do so.

“However, it is not true that I made a harsh statement when Lim complained that his son was hyperventilating. Knowing the pain of losing a loved one, I would never have uttered such an insensitive statement.

“After the concert, my children and I were happily talking about how much we enjoyed the show when Mr. Lim came and confronted us. When Mr. Lim said hurtful words to my children, I had to step in. My maternal instincts took over. That argument should not have taken place.”

Look back 

A concertgoer named Richard Lim posted an anecdote on Facebook, Sunday, April 19, regarding the incident. He said that Doris and daughter Nikki evaded bouncers and rushed forward to the stage front, and caused a huge crowd to gather in front of him and his family, spilling food everywhere and exposing them to chaos. 

He said that his son was already starting to hyperventilate and that Doris and her daughter refused to leave the area they had moved to. When he asked her to move so that the crowd might dissipate, she allegedly said, “Wala akong paki kahit mamatay siya diyan,” (I don’t care even if he dies.)

After the concert, he had words with Doris, her daughter, and her son. 

“I hope this reaches the management of ABS-CBN because this is conduct unbecoming of a media personality,” he wrote on Facebook. 

Although she didn’t directly address the incident, daughter Nikki posted this on Twitter:
