MANILA, Philippines – Did social media star Arzaylea Rodriguez start a conversation with Philippine senator and boxer Manny Pacquiao on her Instagram Live video? According to Rodriguez, she did not.
A few days ago, screengrabs of Pacquiao saying “hello” and “where are you from” on Rodriguez’s live video were caught and made the rounds on social media.
On September 27, Pacquiao explained that his comments had no malice, contrary to what some social media users made it seem.
“Kasi pag-open ko ng Instagram ko, nakalagay live. So pinindot ko. ‘Pag pinindot mo mag-appear ka dun [bilang viewer]. Pag tinignan mo, ‘pag panoorin mo siya sa live niya, mag-appear ka na ‘Manny Pacquiao has joined your live,'” said Pacquiao.
(When I opened my Instagram, it said live. I so pressed it. When you press on a live video, you’ll appear [as a viewer]. When you see it, when you watch it from the perspective of the person who is doing the live video, you’ll appear as ‘Manny Pacquiao has joined your live.)
Pacquiao said Rodriguez reacted during her video, which prompted him to say “hello,” and she asked him if he was in the Philippines, which is why he asked her where she was from.
But on Twitter, Rodriguez denied Pacquaio’s version of events, saying, “He came into my Instagram Live very unexpectedly. I definitely didn’t engage in conversation with him first…”
