Megastar Sharon Cuneta expressed how proud she is of daughter Frankie Pangilinan after the latter spoke out against rape victim-blaming.
On the Instagram account of Sharon, she first related her own experience with how her parents were also strict and worried about her.
“Ako naman alam ko na feeling ng Daddy at Mommy ko nung sumikat na ako bilang singer na nag-uumpisa pa lang…ganon man kasimple, mas proud ako na naging anak kita, dahil sa puso at pagkatao mo.”
The singer-actress hopes that Frankie won’t change her attitude and prays hard that she will find the right guy for her, “Sana anak hanggang mamamatay na lang kami huwag ka magbabago sa amin. Ikamamatay ko pag nag-iba ang ugali mo o lumaki ang ulo mo o maging plastik ka. Jusko ipagdarasal ko na makahanap ka ng asawang mamahalin at aalagaan ka.”
Frankie went viral because of her brave stance against rape victim-blaming, Sharon clarified that they’re strict about their daughter’s clothing, “Oo hindi namin ine-encourage ang mga anak namin na magbihis ng malaswa ever since at strikto din po kaming mga magulang na di nagkukulang sa paalala.”
But it doesn’t mean Frankie’s stance on rape victim-blaming is wrong, the actress sided her daughter and clarified her daughter’s opinion about it.
“Ang sinasabi lang ng anak ko ay hindi dapat ibinibintang sa kasuotan ng sinumang babae ang pangaabuso o panggagahasa sa kanya. Kahit balot na balot sa winter clothes ang babae sa ibang bansa, nagagahasa pa rin.”

Frankie is becoming known for being outspoken on issues.
“Alam niyo naman ang daddy ko, guerilla nung araw,” Megastar refers to her late father and Pasay City’s longest staying mayor Pablo Cuneta.
The singer-actress also urged the public to read stories of women who have been victimized on Twitter with the #hijaako.
“‘Tapos ang side naman ng mommy ko, ang mga great-great grandmothers namin, they were actual Katipuneras. So she has warrior blood from both sides.
“Wala pong nais na awayin si Kakie (Frankie’s nickname), pero ipaglalaban niya ang mga babaeng binabaligtad pa kahit sila na ang nabiktima at nagdurusa. Anak po ‘yan ni Kiko,” she added.
