Tuesday Vargas claps back at netizens who shamed her for hosting bingo event

Tuesday Vargas has clapped back at netizens who shamed her for hosting a bingo event.

In a Facebook post, the comedienne shared that 208 people laugh-reacted to her previous post about hosting bingo and included some screenshots of netizens' comments. 

She defended the event, saying there were many kind and loyal hotel customers, including moms, who approached her and told her she made them laugh, and in turn, motivated her to keep going.

“Pero imbes na masaya kayo para sa akin, nakuha niyo pa akong libakin at pagtawanan?” Tuesday said.

"Ni [hindi] binasa ang back story ko about it, walang interest sa life story mo ke nakaka inspire yan or what. Basta ang goal nila sirain ang buhay mo."

Tuesday also asked her critics why they would feel ashamed of her work. 

“Ako nga, may dignidad akong humaharap sa tao dahil ’yang hiya-hiya ay ’di nakakabili ng bigas,” she said.

“So tawagin niyo na ako kung anong gusto niyo. All I know is that I am good at my job and I love what I do, I will forever be grateful for it. You will not succeed in making me feel ashamed of my hustle."

Tuesday likewise noted that she is a mother who is working hard for the people she loves.

"Nanay ako at paparaan ako para sa mga mahal ko, kaya kayo na pinagtatawanan ako ang masasabi ko ay WALA KAYONG 100k! Hahaha," she added. 

In a previous Facebook post, Tuesday shared that the first-ever hosting job in her career was for bingo, which helped pay for her materials and commute fares back in college.

“Dahil sa pagsigaw ng B-11 ay natawid ko ang mahal na kurso,” Tuesday said.

“Ngayon if iba-bash nyo nanaman ako at sasabihin na ‘Ay ano ba yan host na lang ng Bingo,’ aba ay bakit po? Never naging LANG ang trabahong ginagawa nang may dignidad,” she added, and told everybody to “respect the hustle.”

Earlier in February, Tuesday had appealed for work via Facebook, calling on industry creatives.

"Sa mga kaibigan kong writer, producer at director po, kung meron po kayong projects para sa akin ay available po ako," Tuesday said. "I am a diligent worker and I'd like to believe that I am a good and versatile artist."

"Please hire me po. Promise pag huhusayan ko po. Salamat po," she said.

In another post on March 2, Tuesday said she does not harbor ill feelings towards netizens calling her "laos," "attitude," and "'di mahusay."

"Gumigising ako ngayon nang may ngiti sa mukha ko dahil napaka ganda ng naging epekto ng pagiging transparent ko sa mga tao. Uunahin ko pa ba ang pride at ego bago ang maayos na hanapbuhay?" she said.

"I asked nicely and with dignity. I was not looking for a handout, but instead an opportunity to use my skills that will produce income," she added.

After appealing for work, Tuesday shared that she has hosted a children’s party and performed on a cruise ship.

Aside from hosting, Tuesday is also a live seller of luxury items like bags. She is likewise a singer of the band, The Bloomfields. She also hosts "The Tuesday Vargas Podcast."
