Richard Gutierrez took to Instagram to explain what transpired during the Binibining Pilipinas pageant after he received criticisms about his hosting. Many felt that the "La Luna Sangre" star needlessly shouted his lines during the pageant, which he co-hosted with Pia Wurtzbach.
In his post, Gutierrez explained that he had to "raise his voice a few times" because he couldn't hear himself due to audio system glitches and the noise from the crowd.
"What people might not know is that our audio system was perfect during rehearsals but as soon as I stepped on stage during the live show to do my opening spiels, the microphone kept turning off, this was edited out during the telecast. All throughout the show, Pia & I couldn’t hear ourselves, that’s why I had to raise my voice a few times. I’m not sure if this is because of the audio system or the intense energy of the screaming fans inside the coliseum," he stated.
Richard remarked that he needed to continue his job despite of the technical difficulties he encountered.
"I wish the situation could’ve been avoided but unfortunately technical difficulties arise during live shows. As a professional, I continued doing my job and tried to sustain the energy of the crowd through out the night. No audio difficulties will stop me from doing my job in the best of my capabilities. As they say, THE SHOW MUST GO ON," he wrote.
The actor also extended his gratitude to Star Magic head Johnny Manahan for guiding him in his hosting stint.
He posted, "I would like to salute and sincerely thank mr. M for guiding me all throughout this weekend and for being a gentleman. He explained that this is the first time an incident like this, audio problems, has happened to him and his team. I guess there’s always a first right? But all of this aside, I am thankful and blessed to be able to be part of this memorable event that brings our country together. Have blessed week everyone!!"
