It seems that many netizens are now abusing showbiz personalities by urging them to raise funds and show off their respective charities amid the coronavirus outbreak in the country.
Celebrities are not obligated to make any donations. Besides they are also affected by work stoppage due to the imposed enhanced community quarantine in the country.
Actresses like Angel Locsin and Bela Padilla were lauded online for organizing fundraisers and aiding relief operations at their own expense. With the ongoing crisis in the country, netizens are now expecting other celebs to do the same.
Recently, Kapamilya star Sunshine Cruz was accused of not helping the needy amid the crisis. She contradicted this and said she is helping “on her own way” and that she has decided not to publicize her contributions.
“If you are bothered by my posts, then don’t look. Now, if you have done your part, then good,” she hit back at a netizen who commented on her post.
Home Sweetie Home star Toni Gonzaga was also badmouthed online for not showing any charity efforts compared to her sister Alex Gonzaga. Toni replied coolly to her basher telling she helped out others in silence.
“I don’t need your validation and praise for it,” she clapped back. “Some people can work and help in silence. Respect that. Not everything is publicized like how [you] want it. After washing your hands today, wash your mouth also. It badly needs it.”
Comedienne and actress Pokwang was also called “papansin” after she posted online her efforts of sending relief goods and reaching out to her local barangay. Similar to this, Angel Locsin was also attacked by a basher for always posting about her efforts.
Make it With You star Liza Soberano was also one of those celebs who was criticized online for not helping others. But in fact, Liza has been extending her help quietly. Angel confirmed this after the actress was questioned online.
Angel also defended Megastar Sharon Cuneta against netizens who accused her of not sending any help for the needy as she did not post anything online.Angel later revealed that she donated P3 million to help fight COVID-19 outbreak.
