Maid in Malacañang star Ella Cruz on Thursday, July 7, asked for her bashers to have a “little humanity” and exclude her family from the criticism she is currently receiving.
Cruz got into a controversy when she likened history to gossip.
Her critics targetted the actress’s family, specifically her father, who tried to get a local government seat but failed.
She then posted, “Bash me all you want PERO WAG NIYONG IDADAMAY PAMILYA KO. Have a little humanity, please.”
Meanwhile, historian Xiao Chua reacted to Cruz’s statement.
“Humihingi kayo ng humanity pero yung mga kakampi niyo ang walang humanity sa amin. Ganyan talaga ngayon. Sawa an ako sa call for sobriety, ‘pag inaway ka, awayin mo,” wrote Chua on his Twitter.

Former Commission on Elections Commissioner Rowena Guanzon also shared her take after Cruz cried for a “little humanity.”
“Ayan UP History professor nakabangga mo Ella Cruz,” she tweeted.
“Mag-aral ka kasi ng History, hindi tsismis.”

A netizen believed that there is an education crisis in the country, proven that “Mas lamang pa ang salita ng tambay na madaling maintindihan.”
Ang problem po kasi, based on my experience ay yung mga places dominated by poverty. Sobrang laki ng insufficiency ng quality education sa bansa. Mas lamang pa ang salita ng tambay na madaling maintindihan
Anyway medyo malayo sa topic pero bardagulan na talaga to.

Meanwhile, Pasig City First District Councilor and former TV personality Kiko Rustia blamed the influencers, who twisted history into the narrative they want.
“Sinira ng mga revisionist vloggers yung reputation at credibility ng mga Historians natin na naghirap sa pag aral ng kasasayan ng bansa natin. Those revisionist vloggers should be held accountable.”

Cruz, on the other hand, would not have gone viral if the public did not give it any attention, said a netizen.
Sana di natin pinansin. Prob sa atin trigger bait tayo. Lalo lang lumaki value nung tao sa troll farm mas sellable lalo kasi pag tanga ka since 2016 mas kikita ka. Zero engagement zero relevance

The movie that stars Cruz along with Cesar Montano, Christine Reyes, and Diego Loyzaga will be released sometime this month.
