Xian Lim reacts to Albay Gov. Joey Salceda's shocking FB rant against him

Xian Lim becomes the subject of Albay Governor Joey Salceda's latest Facebook rant, after the actor visited Albay Thursday, Feb. 19, 2015, for the "Fiesta Tsinoy", an event celebrating the Chinese New Year.

Gov. Salceda, who once posted an FB status expressing dislike toward the JaDine loveteam, while also expressing extreme support for the KathNiel loveteam, made another shocking status last night, this time against the popular leading man and sought-after endorser Xian Lim.

According to the governor, Xian allegedly refused to accept a coffee table book about Albay and was heard by many saying 'I'm not here to promote Albay'. Gov. Salceda even went on to rant that they did not pay Xian P350,000 just to experience his "monstrosity". It seemed like an "Anti-Xian Lim" post because he also made personal attack when he dragged Xian's parents into the issue, stating that they might not have raised Xian well, and he questioned his character, educational background and the Star Magic management.

Joey Sarte Salceda: "Xian Lim says in my face (Atty Carol) while handing the coffee table book in front of many - 'I'm not here to promote albay'." If his road manager checks his record, Albay paid for his many guestings since way back 2011 when his talent fee was just P75.000 (Ginoo ni Magayon) and now P350,000 for Fiesta Tsinoy Albay. Its either 1. His parents did not raise him well. 2. He had bad education. 3. He is not managed well. 4. His character is inversely proportional to his looks. 5. He is on something."

Joey Sarte Salceda: "Reminder: Albay paid 350t. And we did not pay 350t just to make us feel bad."

Joey Sarte Salceda: "My CoS Atty Carol Sabio was the beneficiary of Xian Lim's monstrosity upon arrival. And her comment posted kanina pa hapon yun sa Chatroom pero inantay nmin matapos ang program kanina gabi 8pm"

Xian Lim quickly reacted to the issue before it heats up some more. His statement on Twitter says that he was given an Albay coffee table book and was asked to wear a t-shirt, but he politely refused because it might be in conflict with his clothing endorsement (which is MINT). He denies saying 'I'm not here to promote Albay', which according to Gov. Salceda was what Xian said to his Chief-of-Staff, Atty. Carol Sabio.

Xian further defended himself, saying that his parents raised him to be respectful and generous, and that he is so willing to wear the Albay shirt online and on TV if everything has been cleared with his clothing endorsement.

Did Albay Governor Joey Salceda become too judgmental and critical on Xian? Or perhaps he's just used to being dissatisfied with things and people other than KathNiel?

It can be recalled that last October, he was heavily criticized in social media for posting this statement against James Reid and Nadine Lustre after they visited Legazpi City in Albay.

Governor's defense to his offensive remark then was that it was his own Facebook wall and it was his choice to say those things.

Apparently, it could also be the reasoning behind his latest "dissatisfaction", against Xian Lim.

It's kinda saddening that the Chinese New Year event there was supposed to be a celebration, to celebrate the Chinese New Year with only good vibes, but here he is, the Governor posting negative things (an Anti-Xian Lim post?) in his Facebook account. Sad. - Mykiru.ph
