Bagamat kilalang masugid na tagasuporta ni President-elect Rodrigo Duterte, hindi sang-ayon si Liza Diño sa ginawang pagsipol ng bagong halal na pangulo sa GMA News reporter na si Mariz Umali.
Sa kanyang Instagram account, sinabi ng aktres na may mga pagkakataong “out of context” ang interpretasyon ng mga tao sa mga pahayag ng incoming president.
Subalit sa isyung ito, ayon kay Liza, hindi sa konteksto ni Duterte nakabase ang interpretasyon ng ginawa nito sa reporter sa press conference sa Davao City noong Martes, May 31.
“From his mouth towards a receiver---the burden of CONTEXT now lies NOT WITH HIM, but with Mariz. And Mariz said and felt it was IMPROPER,” sabi ni Liza sa kanyang post ngayong araw, June 3.
Dagdag niya, “Whether what he did in his own perspective is intentional or not, the fact that the receiver felt it was IMPROPER should be enough reason to warrant an apology.
“Not necessarily because she was 'harassed', or she was 'sexually abused' but because she was OFFENDED.
“Kahit hindi sinasadya, na-offend sya, so nararapat lang na humingi sya ng dispensa.”

DIGONG IS NOT PERFECT. Sa kabila nito, pinaalalahanan naman ni Liza na ang kanyang opinyon tungkol sa partikular na isyung ito ay hindi nangangahulugang tinatalikuran na niya ang pagsuporta kay Duterte.
Aniya, “Look, Our president is not perfect. Who is?
“At one point or another, he's bound to make mistakes.
“But not agreeing with him doesn't mean I don't support him in the same way that supporting him doesn't mean I always have to agree with him.
“And that's the beauty of democracy.”
Diin pa niya sa huli, “It's ok to have difference in opinions, as long as RESPECT remains and prevails.”
