- Lea Salonga suggested the things a netizen should do to deal with online bullying.
- According “The Voice Teens” coach, one should block someone who will start a rude conversation between them.
- She also defended Nadine Lustre from the bashers, saying her boyfriend James Reid is lucky to have the Kapamilya actress in his life.
Lea Salonga asked her Twitter followers: how to stop only bullying?
A few people only answered “The Voice Teens” coach so she posted her proposal. She tweeted, “How about we propose this: mag-usap nang matino at sumagot din nang matino. Pag may bastusan na, instant block. English translation coming.”
The Broadway singer also suggested to her fans to communicate decently to one another. “Once the bullying or otherwise targeted uncouth speech begins, block asap,” she added. “Pero ang sa akin lang: bastusin mo ako, o ang pamilya at mga kaibigan ko, hindi kita kakausapin. Bakit pa ba?”
Lea then stated, “Ooh, Twitter now has a filter to automatically mute posts from handles without profile pictures. Yaaaaas!!! Goodbye, eggheads!!!
“As well as those that didn’t confirm their email or phone numbers. Ha! Not so anonymous anymore!”
A netizen then used actress Nadine Lustre as a victim of cyber-bullying. Lea responded, “How mean. I think Nadine is a really beautiful woman. I love her dusky color too. Ganda sa personal pati. Jackpot yung BF sa kanya.”
Nadine and her boyfriend James Reid became the center of attention on social media after netizens questioned their genuine relationship as James was photographed with his girlfriend’s best friend.
The bashing continued when FHM Philippines announced Nadine Lustres as this year’s Sexiest Woman in the Philippines — besting other stars such as Kim Domingo, Ellen Adarna and Jessy Mendiola.
Bashing in the Philippines becomes more extreme; as if it’s Filipinos’ daily habit. Luckily, for Lea, she handles her bashers professionally.
