Veteran actress Rita Avila has been speaking up regarding the issues of the country.
After questioning the government’s inaction on the Philhealth corruption mess, Rita once more took to social media this time to defend fellow celebrities who are speaking up against the abuses of the current admin.
In an Instagram post, Avila questioned people who diss different opinions.
“Wala na ang panahong kahit iba-iba ang opinyon ay may respeto. Ngayon, kalaban ka kaagad ‘pag iba ka sa kanila. I am almost always careful of my words when I post but nothing can make them understand,” said Rita.
“They claim na puro ‘reklamo’ ang mga tao against the gov’t. Eh kaninong gobyerno ba tayo dapat magsalita ng saloobin – sa gobyerno ni Emilio Aguinaldo?” she added.

Meanwhile, Avila also advised Duterte’s fanatics especially in showbiz to stop being blinded, stop acting dumb and ill-mannered because it’s a deadly combination.
“Noon I was charmed by the Pres during the campaign. Now, I simply say thank u pag may maayos syang nagawa. In one of my posts, I humbly asked for his empathy. My husband is pro. Kaaway nya mga kapatid nya. I have friends na pro, but we never fought. Think before leaving comments. Again, d magandang combination ang bulag, tanga, masama ugali. TRIPLE WHAMMIES. Hindi kayo yan. Ayaw nyo yan. (Dapat lang d ba?) I-angat nyo ang mga sarili nyo. Naniniwala akong kaya nyo bigyan ng dangal ang sarili nyo. PILIPINO TAYO. KAYA PA,” Avila said.
