The sister of the late actor Rico Yan has slammed a writer moonlighting as a broadcaster and talent manager for allegedly dragging the name of her brother.
In an Instagram post by actress Claudine Barretto, former girlfriend of Rico, Tina Marie Yan called the talent manager a "pathetic" and loser user."
“Some supposed Filipino educator, writer, multimedia producer, talent manager, author, broadcaster (daw) had some nerve to post my late brother’s picture in his IG and use it to make it seem he is attacking someone else who used my late brother’s name for her campaign,” Tina wrote on Instagram.
Tina did not name names. But netizens who commented on the post said Tina referred to Noel Ferrer, the talent manager of Olympian Hidilyn Diaz.

“The sickening part of all this is that what he accuses the other person doing, is what he is EXACTLY doing himself as his IG obviously shows which presidential candidate he is rooting for.
“And to make matters really worse, he dares post a photo of my late brother, making it seem like they were ‘oh so close’ that he can say what he thinks.
“YOU listen to me as I say it again, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT DRAGGING MY LATE BROTHER’S NAME INTO YOUR INDIRECT CAMPAIGN MOTIVES.”
"And you are far more worse as you have the nerve to tag a priest into your post. Just goes to show how pathetic you’ve stooped down to. I don’t care about yours or anyone’s political views — YOU JUST LEAVE MY LATE BROTHER’S NAME OUT OF THIS. Pathetic!”
“Oh, and take note. His comments are now OFF and have blocked me after I told him not to use my late brother. OBVIOUSLY guilty as charged. LOSER USER!” Tina ended her post.
