DISMAYADO si Megastar Sharon Cuneta sa pang-ookray at pangmamaliit ng ilang Pinoy sa special guest appearance ni Kris Aquino sa Hollywood blockbuster movie na “Crazy Rich Asians”.
Ipinagtaggol ni Mega ang Social Media Queen sa mga haters and bashers na hindi pa rin matanggap ang katotohanan na may Filipina na nakasama sa isang napakalaking international movie na nagmarka sa mga manonood.
Sa kanyang Instagram account, nag-post ng mahabang mensahe si Sharon kung saan ibinandera niya ang pagiging proud Pinoy dahil sa pagganap ni Kris bilang Princess Intan sa “CRA”.
Narito ang kabuuan ng IG post ni Mega: “If you joined me at one of my IG Lives, remember how I talked about some people enjoying bringing others down? Sadly, it is very Pinoy to have what is known as crab mentality; you know – ‘Kundi ako ang successful sisiraan kita dahil sa inggit!’
“I said it didn’t sit well with me how some people were criticising Ms. Kris Aquino’s short appearance in Crazy Rich Asians, instead of celebrating that she was at all part of that Hollywood movie that has now hit #1 at the Box-Office.
“I thank all of you who left messages of encouragement for Kris as I requested. Guys, when one of us has the blessing of being chosen among hundreds to become part of a Hollywood movie – especially from a major studio and based on a best-selling book, we should be happy. Proud!
“It opens more doors in world cinema for Filipinos and other Asians, like Ms. Lea Salonga opened doors for many in Broadway. A short – but important – exposure in a film like this should’ve made us all root for Kris.
“Now, I know one thing that God in His faithfulness does: He brings you to a place with plans to bring you only FARTHER. Congratulations, Kris, Beej, QOAM! God bless you more. And thank you for making us dayuummm proud!”
Kasunod nito, ni-repost din ni Sharon ang IG message ni Kris para sa lahat ng mga Pinoy na sumuporta sa “Crazy Rich Asians”.
