JENNYLYN Mercado is calling on her fans to stop making fun of the opinions of others, including the ABS-CBN stars who are speaking out against the order forcing the network off air.
Mercado, whose shows air on rival station GMA-7, said that “no one has any right to be mean to any other human being,” in a post on Facebook Thursday replying to an online troll.
She made it clear that these toxic commenters, like the one who took a swipe at ABS-CBN celebrities in her other post about how COVID-19 is the real enemy and “not each other,” are not welcome on her page.
“People who comment like this are not welcome in this page,” she wrote. “Bilang tao, dapat nagtutulong-tulong tayo na i-uplift ang isa’t-isa lalo na ngayon na may pinagdadaanan tayong krisis.”
“All our opinions are valid. Just because you disagree with the opinion of others, doesn’t give you the right to belittle or make fun of anyone. Our enemy is not each other, but the virus,” she added.
Mercado’s plea came a days after the likes of Kim Chiu found herself the target of intense scrutiny online for a confusing remark on ABS-CBN’s franchise issue she had already apologized for.
“Ang Probinsyano” star Coco Martin was also criticized for expressing his anger towards the order to have ABS-CBN taken off air.(ABS-CBN)
