CEBU CITY, Philippines — Cebuano stars call for justice for Christine Lee Silawan, the 16-year-old girl, who was killed in Lapu-Lapu City with her face skinned.
Kenneth Earl Medrano, “Eat Bulaga’s!” That’s My Bae grand winner, has been vocal on his opinion on Silawan’s death especially on his Facebook account.

Medrano said that he also believed that karma would await Silawan’s murderers.
“Ang karma di magsaba saba. Either ikaw or sa imong pamilya naay mahitabo. Maayo unta maabot na sa tao nga nagbuhat ani nga krimen,” he said.
Just like Medrano, Cebuana singer-songwriter Karencitta or Karen Ann Cabrera off stage also calls for Silawan’s justice.
Last weekend, Karencitta had a gig and dedicated her song, “June” for Silawan.
“The evening before my performance, I was having trouble sleeping due to the unprecedented news of Christine Silawan,” Karencitta sent her statement to CDN Digital.
The news made her cry and prayed for Silawan’s soul.
