Kapamilya actress Nadine Lustre has spoken out against a viral fake quote circulating online, which falsely attributed to her a message promoting the so-called “Mirror Method.”
Originally posted by the Facebook page Chismis Vlogs, the quote read: “I started using the ‘Mirror Method’. ‘Di ka nila binati nung birthday mo? Don’t greet them also. ‘Di ka nila inaya sa gala, ‘wag mo din silang yayain. ‘Di ka nila chin-check? STOP checking on them too. Just give them the same energy they’re giving to you. Trust me, life feels light when you do this.”
Nadine was quick to deny the statement, replying directly, “Parang ‘di ko naman po sinabi ‘yan…”
She then took to the comments section to mock the way online blogs create misleading content using celebrities’ names, saying: “‘Tong mga chismis blogs na ‘to, makapag-post lang talaga ng content eh… baka sa Q4 buntis nanaman ako ha?”
In another post, Nadine shared her actual thoughts on the subject—completely rejecting the philosophy behind the viral quote.
“I honestly don’t believe in mirroring coldness just because someone chose to forget, ignore, or not show up,” she wrote. “Para sa akin, hindi mo kailangang suklian ang kakulangan ng iba. Mas mahalaga pa rin na piliin mong maging mabuti, kahit walang kapalit. Because kindness isn’t for them, it’s for YOUR soul.”
She went on to share a message of peace and healing: “If sinaktan ka, and it’s gotten to the point where you no longer speak, still… always wish them well. You can cut them off. You don’t have to go back. You don’t have to reconnect. But you can let go with love.”
“You let go not because they deserve it, but because YOU deserve peace. Take care of your soul, not your ego. Remember, hindi yung kapwa mo yung nagkakeep tabs, it’s the universe.”
“So keep choosing light. Keep choosing love. That’s where true healing lives. Trust me, life is so much better when you do this.”
Her honest post resonated with thousands online, gaining hundreds of thousands of reactions and being widely shared on other platforms such as X (formerly Twitter).
