KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — "Eat Bulaga" host Miles Ocampo revealed that she was never offended by Joey de Leon's "pataba" remarks made during the noontime show's live airing last month.

Miles' fans called out Joey after his remarks. 

During the recent grand presscon of her new daytime teleserye "Padyak Princess," Miles said she's used to see Dabarkads joking around.

"Sa Dabarkads, bawal ang pikon du’n. Sanay lang sa mga bawat banat at hirit ng isa’t isa, so walang problema po,” she said.

Miles said that Joey already apologized to her. 

“Actually si Boss Joey, naapektuhan din kasi nga, ‘bakit galit ‘yung mga tao sa akin?’ Eh, segment naman po namin sa 'Eat Bulaga' ‘yung ‘pataas, pababa'," she said. 

“Sabi ko kay Boss Joey, ‘okay na po ‘yun, sadyang ang mga tao talaga ngayon ay mabilis makahanap ng mali, kaya napupuna agad.’ Pero sabi ko, wala pong problema,” she added.
