Veteran actress Pinky Amador has responded to an online user who left a hateful comment wishing her dead after she posted a light-hearted TikTok video.
The video, which showed Amador dancing to the viral ‘YRN’ trend alongside impersonators of Vice President Sara Duterte and former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque, drew mixed reactions online.
“#Kembot muna bago #WorkFromHague with my idols @inday_tasha,” Amador wrote in the caption.
However, one netizen went too far, commenting, “Sana mamatay kang pinklawan ka,” a statement interpreted as a political insult and death wish. “Pinklawan” is often used pejoratively online to describe supporters of former Vice President Leni Robredo.
Amador took a screenshot of the comment and shared it on her Instagram Story, encouraging her followers to report the user.
“Friends let’s kindly report [hater’s IG handle] for hate comments and abuse then block them for good,” she said.
The actress also tagged the Department of Justice’s Office of Cybercrime in her post, signaling that she may be considering formal action against the online abuse.
The offensive comment has since been deleted.

Despite the hate, Amador also received support and humorous reactions. One user joked, “Hahahah, ang cute nyong 3 uusok na naman iLong ng mga hinde invited ” to which the actress replied with a laughing emoji.
When another user commented, “Pinky, are you a comedian now? You used to have princess roles in London. What happened?” Amador shot back with, “FYI I never had princess roles in London. Also it’s a tiktok DUDE. You’re allowed to have fun and laugh at yourself. ”
Amador is known for her strong political stance. During the 2022 national elections, she publicly supported then-candidates Leni Robredo and Kiko Pangilinan.
