Nai-inggit lang sila dahil ikaw na meet mo mga NBA player.

TV personality Cesca Litton-Kalaw also responded to the post, calling out netizens who thought they could get “a free pass” with inappropriate remarks on the Internet.
I hosted an event with an international celeb guest a while back and someone posted a comment on the pic saying “k*n*nt*t mo yan?”.
Some people really think they get a free pass for saying disgusting things if it’s on the internet. Their time will come.

Ho replied, agreeing to Litton-Kalaw’s assessment on social media.
Grabe diba? I’m sure this happens more often than people notice. Ang lala at ang bastos.

One News Sports broadcaster, Paolo del Rosario, also blasted the netizen for the inappropriate message.

Ho’s affiliation with sports personas is evident throughout her career as she debuted her hosting career through Gameday Weekend on ABS-CBN Sports + Action.
In January 2021, Ho announced her transfer to the Kapatid Network TV5 after eight years of working in the Kapamilya network. She appeared on ABS-CBN programs, such as Umagang Kay Ganda, TV Patrol, and News Patrol.
