Hofilña said netizens, particularly vloggers, should stop making fun of the issue, stressing that they have no idea what really happened between her and Abastas.
“They have to stop it because they don’t know what really happened,” she said.
Should they want to be known or famous with their vlogs, Hofilña advised netizens to look for another issue to ride on.
“Kanang mga vloggers, kon gusto sila mosikat, find another segment, another issue because this is already over. Move on nalang sila,” Hofilña said.
Hofilña admitted she and Abastas had lapses in the controversy but chose to learn from these and carry on with life.
Hofilña also expressed that the amicable settlement has brought relief amid the bashing from netizens.
