“Eat Bulaga” host Ryan Agoncillo shared his thoughts about the controversial statement of Joey de Leon regarding depression. The 38-year old actor revealed he experienced depression in the past.
On his recent Instagram post, Ryan, who was part of the panel during Juan For All, All for Juan posted a long message to his followers.
“I hope all is well with you and your family. Like you, I’m all too aware of how real depression is. Having had to deal with it for a long time now, having lost friends, heroes and even myself to its depths, i know when it rears it’s ugly head, signs aren’t instant but more like quicksand,” the TV-host wrote on the first part.
Ryan stressed out, “I know it cuts across the board, it knows no age, gender, religion, civil or economic status.”
“What unfolded yesterday was a very painful and familiar exchange. I’ve heard it at the dinner table, in the car on the way to school and at the office cafeteria, everywhere. the ferocity with which the reaction was released was what made me pay close attention though. Instead of the TV instincts kicking in for a quick draw reaction, I knew I had to remain quiet and not add to the noise. because it is this very noise that pushes the quiet ones further into a corner. It is good we have this avenue for expression, let’s continue to do so. it is healthier.”
He ended his long message with positive vibe. “Thank you for this. Mahigpit na yakap para sa iyo at sa mga tahimik. (A tight embrace for you and for the silent ones).”
He then offered a virtual hug to those who were “quiet,” and urged everybody to have a healthier discussion on mental health.
