Marian Rivera on online bashers: 'Malungkot ang buhay nila'

MANILA, Philippines - “Alam mo, yung mga taong nangba-bash, ibig sabihin niyan malungkot ang buhay nila.”

 

Thus said Marian Rivera when asked of her opinion on bashers on social media during the press conference for FHM Philippines' 100 Sexiest Women victory party on Saturday, July 5.

 

She added, “Wala silang nakikita sa kapwa nila kung hindi puro kapintasan. Kasi, kung masaya ka sa buhay mo, mas makikita mo ang kagandahan ng isang tao kaysa pintasan mo siya.”

 

The topic of bashers came about when a member of the entertainment press asked Marian about Vilma Santos' recent bout with bashers on the mobile photo sharing service Instagram.

Marian said she sent a text message to Vilma to express her support for the veteran actress-politician amid the online bashing.

 

“Ayaw ko talaga pag-usapan kasi ang laki ng respeto k okay Ate Vi. Ang importante diyan, nagkakaintindihan kaming dalawa dahil alam niyang nasa likod niya ako. At mahal ko siya, yun ang importante. Kaya niya yun,” the GMA-7 talent said.

 

'Block lang nang block'

 

Marian said she is now immune to online bashers but feels pity for her fellow celebrities who are under fire on social media.

 

“Nakakaawa lang talaga yung mga artistang bina-bash kasi unfair. Yung mga artista, kilala nila. Pero yung mga namba-bash na ito ay hindi naman kilala. So, what the point para patulan mo sila?” she explained. 

 

“Kung talagang masaya ka sa buhay mo, bakit kailangan mo pang mang-bash ng tao. Hindi ba dapat kung masaya ka at kuntento ka, masaya ka para sa kapwa mo?” Marian added.

 

The 29-year-old actress simply shrugs off those who choose to bash her on her Instagram account, the only social media account she maintains. “Ang ginagawa ko, block, delete kaysa patulan ko sila. Bina-block ko lang sila. Ang hirap kaya gumawa ulit ng account, gagawa sila ulit sila ng e-mail address, gawa lang sila nang gawa ng ganun, ako naman, block lang nang block,” she said.

 

Marian attended the FHM 100 Sexiest Women victory party press conference as the local magazine's Sexiest Woman in the World, besting other favorites such as Sam Pinto, Angel Locsin, Jennylyn Mercado, and Cristine Reyes.

 

Solenn Heussaff, Alice Dixson, Ellen Adarna, Anne Curtis, and Jinri Park complete the top 10 of FHM Philippines' Sexiest Women of the World list. 

 

“Ang saya sa pakiramdam kasi ang sarap na binibigay sa iyo ng wala kang inaasahan,” Marian said on claiming the title for the third time.

She added, “Lahat ng nangyayari sa buhay ko ngayon, masaya talaga. Parang hindi ko naman sinasabi na walang akong mahihiling, pero sa punto sa buhay ko ngayon, masasabi ko talaga na masaya talaga.”

 

The complete line-up of FHM Philippines' 100 Sexiest Woman in the World is available as a supplement with the magazine's July issue.
