Freddie Aguilar called Gary V, Arnel Pineda and Charice Pempengo Copy Cats?

I watch yesterday the Buzz, I was shocked when I heard that Freddie Aguilar called Mr. Pure Energy Gary V., Journey Lead Vocalist Arnel Pineda and International Singing Sensational Charice Pempengo monkeys???

It was reported in TV Patrol last week that Freddie Aguilar, one of the famous musician-songwriter here in the Philippines, says that artists should be proud as Filipino wherever we may go. He also said that Arnel Pineda and Charice Pempengo were like monkeys because they would "copycats" the music of international artists. He even said that Gary V won't become famous if he will just "copycat" Michael Jackson. (Personally,I don't agree with this. Gary V., Arnel Pineda at Charice Pempengo had their own identity, talent and uniqueness.)

Mr. Arnel Pineda respects Mr. Freddie Aguilar's statement. He said he believes that they still make Filipinos proud although they only sing out American songs.
He said he could not change Aguilar’s mindset but he hopes he would minimize from saying not good things about his fellow Filipino artists.

Mr. Pure Energy Gary V. also disagree with Mr. Freddie Aguilar's statements.“In that case, then I'm one because in my concerts I don't always do Gary Valenciano. I think we stand up there (on stage) to also pay respect to the artists that inspired [us]," he said.

In the Buzz last Sunday,Mr Aguilar clarified that he didn't say that he called them monkey. Filipinos would only mimic the styles and songs of other international artists so one of international singer would nicknamed us as "monkey".
