HINIKAYAT ni Megastar Sharon Cuneta ang lahat ng Filipino na mas patatagin pa ang pananampalataya sa panahon ngayon, kahit ano pa ang iyong relihiyon.
Sa unang handog ng kanyang digital program na “The Sharon Show” sa kanyang YouTube channel, nanawagan si Shawie na mas maging mabait at mapagmalasakit sa kapwa lalo na ngayong panahon ng pandemya.
Sa patuloy na pagtaas ng COVID-19 cases sa buong mundo at sa iba pang kinakaharap na problema ng bansa, inialay ni Mega ang una niyang online show sa lahat ng Filipino kasabay ng paalala na laging mag-ingat at seryosohin ang pagsunod sa health protocols.
“Hindi po natin alam kung hanggang kailan ito. Alam niyo po, Kristiyano po ako. I’m not trying to impose my faith on everyone of you. Kasi alam ko naman iba-iba tayo ng paniniwala.
“Mayroong iba sa inyo, iba ang paniniwala. I respect that. Pero it’s time to hold on to the Higher power we believe in. This is not something we can fight as human beings. And just to give us a little hope also. Our God is bigger than this virus,” pahayag ni Mega.
Aniya pa, “Remember that we also have advances in science and in medicine. So we’re hoping that scientists and experts in this field can come up with a vaccine or at least something that can make us live with this if not totally get rid of it from our bodies.
“‘Yung something na makakatulong na ‘wag naman natin ikamatay. Napakasakit man po but we are going to get through this as human beings,” lahad pa ng singer-actress.
Tungkol naman sa paggamit ng social media, narito ang paalala ni Sharon, “I don’t think it should be using you. Meaning, you should not be addicted to it. You should focus on your real friends and not on the hundreds of friends you have on Facebook.
“Your real friends are the friends that are there for you when no one else is. ‘Yung mga tunay nagmamahal sa inyo when you’re down and out, those are your real friends.
“Sure, Facebook, you have friends there. You keep up with the news through Facebook. It helps. Social media helps. But it has also taken away so much. Tsaka it has also, even for non-celebrities, made the world a little less caring and meaner,” diin pa ni Shawie.
Hindi rin niya pinalampas ang mga trolls na walang ginawa kundi magpasabog ng kanegahan at galit sa social media, “Parang kasi some people hide anonymity kaya matapang sila so they feel free to express kahit walang saysay. They bash people kahit hindi celebrities, kung sino ang pinagtripan.
“Some people are fame-hungry that they go after famous people just to get a reaction at magkaroon ng views YouTube para may kitain.
“So social media should be a tool that should be used for good to enhance our lives and our work and our relationships.
” It should not be used to destroy people’s names, people’s lives, and people’s relationships. Kailangan nakakabuti siya, di nakakasama,” litanya pa ng Megastar.
