<p>Many OFWs feel insulted by director Erik Matti's Twitter posts about the result of overseas absentee voting.</p>

Umani ng batikos ang Twitter posts ng direktor na si Erik Matti tungkol sa overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) at kanilang napiling kandidato nitong nakaraang eleksyon.

Sa kanyang Twitter post noong May 15, sinabi ng Honor Thy Father director na “walang malasakit” at “ansama pumili” ng mga Pilipinong botante sa ibang bansa.

OFWs kung wala kayong malasakit sa Pinas wag na lang bumoto. Ansama pumili! Anaknang! Wala silang paki kasi di sila nakatira dito! #Dugong

Sa kasunod niyang post, sinabi ni Direk Erik na hindi siya sang-ayon sa naging resulta ng overseas absentee voting, kung saan makikitang lamang sina presumptive president Rodrigo Duterte at vice-presidential candidate Bongbong Marcos.

@sweetfloryx19 We have all the respect for the sacrifices of OFWs. But the OFWs chose a Marcos overall and i disagree. #wagkayongkuyog

Dahil dito, may ilang netizens ang hindi napigilang mag-react sa post ng direktor.

Naging trending din ang #ApologizeToOFWsMAtti dahil sa naging pahayag ng On the Job director, na kilalang supporter ng mga kandidato ng Liberal Party na sina Mar Roxas at Leni Robredo.

If you feel that @ErikMatti has offended and hurt you, use this HT ??? #ApologizeToOFWsMatti

We shouldn't tolerate this kind of behavior.
