Francis Leo Marcos Disappointed with Diwata
FRANCIS LEO MARCOS – The self-proclaimed entrepreneur and philanthropist expressed his disappointment with internet sensation Deo Balbuena, also known as Diwata, during one of his Facebook livestreams.
Francis, who regained his freedom last year, expressed disappointment at how Diwata seemed to have been consumed by his fame. He believed that, given the blessings Diwata received as an instant celebrity, he should have become more compassionate and helpful towards others.
According to Francis, when one is given the opportunity by the Lord to improve their life, they should become even more humble. He remarked, “Ngayon, Diwatang mukhang paa — na mukhang engkanto ay nako, huwag mong sasabihin na lilipas din ‘yan.” He further emphasized, “Wag mong sasabihin sa nagpapabati sa’yo na lilipas din yan [dahil] lilipas ka na rin.”
Francis was referring to a viral video where Diwata declined to greet a customer celebrating his birthday, stating that the special day would eventually come to an end. He reminded Diwata of how his fame began with the support of ordinary people who followed his daily activities. “Yung isang daang piso ang bumuhay sa’yo noong ika’y walang-wala,” Francis pointed out.
As of now, Diwata has not responded to Francis, who gained viral attention several years ago due to his philanthropic endeavors.
Francis Leo Marcos, also known as FLM, is a businessman, philanthropist, and internet personality. He claims to have familial ties with the Marcos political family, which includes former President Ferdinand Marcos. However, these claims have been refuted by former First Lady Imelda Marcos, who stated that Francis Leo Marcos is not connected to her family. The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) also asserted that his real name is Norman Mangusin. It was last year when he was released from prison after being incarcerated for almost four years.
