A recent podcast episode featuring derogatory comments about Josh Aquino has sparked outrage, leading to calls for accountability from friends and disability advocates.

The *Machong Chismisan* podcast, which aired on October 5, featured host Tito P referring to Josh, the son of Kris Aquino, as 'walang kwenta' (useless). This comment has drawn widespread condemnation.

Mark Leviste, a close family friend, echoed similar sentiments, stating that true friends of Josh understand the pain caused by these comments. He emphasized the importance of accountability in comedy, stating, 'Freedom of expression does not exempt you from accountability.'
