MANILA -- Actress Matet de Leon has reacted to comments from netizens asking why the daughter of the late National Artist Nora Aunor is doing live selling on social media.
In the podcast of Kara David's I-Listen, Matet explained that she gets a talent fee (TF) for live selling.
"Hindi nila alam magkano ang bayad sa akin. Pagtinda ng corned beef naku day, nakakaloka, mahal. Mataas ang TF kapag ganoon kasi may name din 'yung product sikat 'yon eh," Matet said.
De Leon said she started live selling when an agency reached out to her.
"Ang TikTok nag-reach out, 'Ms. Matet you can sell your product.' Sabi ko 'wala akong produkto.' After a year biglang 'yung produkto ko ni-live sell ko and may kumuha sa aking agency, mga ilang products to start tapos 'yon na nagbebenta ako for them with good TF and percentage na," explained de Leon, adding that she's "super" happy doing it.

Matet previously made headlines after she turned emotional in one live selling session when some netizens said foul comments.
"Sabi niyang ganoon 'kaya namatay si Nora Aunor dahil suplada si Matet,' parang ganoon 'yung sinasabi niya. Kamamatay lang nang ilang buwan ng nanay ko, parang isang buwan o dalawang buwan pa lang. Eh naalala ko siya night before medyo marupok ka pa noon, pero ginawa ko 'yung trabaho ko. Tapos kinomentan ako ng ganoon doon ako bumigay. Doon ako 'yung kamamatay lang ng nanay ko, utang na loob naman huwag naman ganyan.' Pero yung 'ay nagbebenta na lang siya' natatawa kami roon," Matet said.
"Kasi alam mo marangal na trabaho ang pagla-live selling at nabubuhay naman kami araw-araw dahil sa live selling,"
In the podcast, Matet also talked about her life as a child star and the life being an adopted child.
Aunor had five children with former husband Christopher de Leon. Ian is their biological child, while Lotlot, Matet, Kenneth, and Kiko are adopted.
