Internet sensation and ‘Pares Diva’ Diwata, also known as Deo Balbuena, has responded to social media bashers, suggesting their negativity stems from jealousy.
The widely popular owner of Pares Overload addressed her critics during an event hosted by Shift at the Metrowalk Convention Center in Pasig City on May 25.
Diwata, who is also a rising star on the Kapamilya series ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo’ alongside Coco Martin, shared her thoughts on dealing with online negativity.
“Sa lahat ng bashers, may pagkakataon pa para magbago at makaahon din sa buhay, di ba?” she said. “Hindi lang sana yung pamba-bash ang nasa isip, dapat isipin din kung paano gaganda at giginhawa ang buhay.”
Reflecting on the criticism she faces, Diwata added, “Kasi, ano bang rason kung bakit n’yo bina-bash ang isang tao na wala naman sigurong ginagawang masama sa inyo. Una, hindi naman yata kayo napeperwisyo, pangalawa hindi naman kayo inagrabyado. So, walang rason para i-bash n’yo ang tao. Ngayon kung naiinggit kayo, at kung yun lang ang dahilan, magsikap na lang din, di ba? Para makaangat din sa buhay. So, yun lang.”
She emphasized that bashers are often driven by envy. “Pero ako naman, hindi ako nagpapaapekto sa mga bashers, kasi bakit naman ako magpapaapekto e, wala namang maitutulong yan sa buhay ko na maganda. So, dedma na lang sa mga basher. Nagbabasa rin ako ng mga comments sa social media pero scroll lang ako. Kapag alam kong bashing delete, block. Bakit ko pa sila iintindihin sa dami ko nang iniisip, lalo ka lang mai-stress. Tsaka sinasabi ko lagi, bakit ako magpapaapekto sa bashers, e wala namang maidudulot yan sa sarili ko na maganda,” she concluded.
“Saka hindi ko sila inaagrabyado at pineperwisyo, gumagawa naman ako nang tama, lumalaban ako nang patas, bakit ko pa sila iintindihin?”
“Ako tingin ko talaga, yung mga basher mga inggit, mga inggitera, mga negative people. Basta tayo, du’n na lang tayo sa positive,” she added.
The event, which was the first-ever VapeFest organized by Shift and Chillax, saw a full house at the Metrowalk Tent Convention Center. Alongside Diwata, other prominent influencers and vloggers such as Boss Toyo, Sazchna Laparan, and Rosmar Tan were in attendance. The event featured performances by Agsunta and several P-pop groups, culminating in a raffle where motorcycles and a brand-new luxury car were given away, much to the excitement of the attendees.
