6 Aug – Kapuso director Dominic Zapata couldn't help but feel frustrated over the ongoing criticisms about his fantasy series, "Victor Magtanggol", which began airing on 30 July.

As reported on PEP, the director, who spoke about the recent allegations of the series plagiarising Marvel's superhero franchise, "Thor", stated that he found it interesting that nobody questioned the superhero franchise for borrowing from Norse mythology, but decided to bash his project when he is doing the same thing.

Zapata stated that bashers should instead realise that the show is giving a lot of people jobs that they otherwise may not have.

"Please understand that every show employs over 200 people. [They] are relying on their show to earn their income, [knowing] that they have a job for the next three to four months, hoping for five or even six months. That is our industry," he said.

Zapata added that before people start bashing the show and encouraging others to boycott it as well, they should realise that the show represents "not only individuals, but their families as well".
