One of the most iconic voices in Philippine entertainment, Inday Badiday—dubbed the “Queen of Showbiz Talk Shows”—is once again making headlines years after her passing in 2003.
Her name resurfaced following remarks by Senator Juan Miguel “Migz” Zubiri during a Senate session, prompting her grandson, actor IC Mendoza, to publicly defend her legacy.
“Please do not disrespect the legacy of my late mommy Luds. She was more than showbiz chika and intrigues. She helped shape local pop culture and the entertainment journalism landscape of her time, and her work influenced conversations around media and entertainment for generations,” IC said.
He added, “Reducing her name and legacy to describe the 'circus' happening in the Senate is offensive.”
Sen. Migz has since apologized to IC and to the whole family of Inday.
