Lea Salonga responded to Senator Sherwin “Win” Gatchalian’s meltdown on Twitter. The senator said he got pissed from the netizens who kept criticizing him on the said social media platform.
Lea replied to Maria Ressa’s Rappler article post titled, “Gatchalian blames bashers for his meltdown on Twitter.”
On Lea’s said reply, she also wrote:
“Oh dear. If you can’t handle the heat, get out of the kitchen. Being a public figure means having to deal with haters and bashers from time to time, whether in person or on social media. Keeping the eyes on what’s important is what keeps one sane through the craziness.”
She continued her response with:
“The stuff I’ve been called on social media through the years is enough to drive one crazy, but it hasn’t. I won’t let the haters and bashers win. Besides, there are more good people out there than not.”
Leah proceeded with an advice for the public figures:
“Let this be a reminder to celebs, politicos, etc. on social media, only one degree of separation from everyone else. You’re fair game the moment you open an account, and it can really test your patience and resolve.”
The Broadway Star ended her response with:
“That said however, we should all engage fully mindful of the impact our words have on one another. Let’s keep all discourses respectful, even when our opinions are contrary to someone else’s. Thanks, that is all.”
In the said meltdown, Win posted curses and foul words on Twitter. Using his supposedly private account, Win replied to Maria Ressa’s Rappler article post about the Liberal Party.
On the said reply, Win also wrote:
“The nation already lost its soul in the last 6 years.”
However, a netizen replied, “wow, the gall this senator gatchalian has is unbelievable…ingrato.”
This led to the senator to reply a curse word, “Ulol.”
Then a netizen called him and Senator Sonny Angara ‘trapo.’
“trapo kayo gatchalian at angara”
Which Win replied with, “Gago ka!”
