Actress Alexa Ilacad has expressed her gratitude to her on-screen partner, KD Estrada, for standing up against online criticism on her behalf. Ilacad has recently faced negative comments from fans who disapprove of her partnership with Estrada.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Ilacad shared her appreciation for the public support she received from Estrada. She mentioned feeling touched during an ‘ASAP Natin ‘To’ appearance when fans playfully teased her about the length of her hair.
Estrada gained attention online after releasing a statement urging his followers to distance him from another artist, without explicitly naming anyone. Fans quickly associated this with his previous partnership with ‘Pinoy Big Brother’ housemate Anji Salvacion.
Ilacad disclosed that she initially advised Estrada against making the statement, expressing concerns about potential backlash. Despite assuring Estrada that she was fine, she acknowledged his determination to defend her publicly and emphasized his commitment to shielding her from hurtful comments.
While Ilacad commended Estrada’s resilience, she also thanked him for his unwavering support. She highlighted his eagerness to demonstrate that no one can harm her.
Beyond professional achievements, Ilacad expressed gratitude for the success of her afternoon primetime series ‘Pira-Pirasong Paraiso,’ describing 2024 as a positive year for her. She also emphasized the strong friendships formed with her peers during the show’s production.
Looking forward, Ilacad revealed plans to shift her focus to music after the series concludes. She expressed interest in exploring other opportunities, including hosting, should such prospects arise.
