Pia Magalona complains of harassment after announcing support for Gordon
The widow of the late rapper-actor Francis Magalona is crying foul, alleging that supporters of presidential candidate, Benigno Noynoy Aquino III, have been pestering her after she declared her support for another presidential wannabe, Senator Richard “Dick” Gordon.
Magalona vented her feelings via her Facebook account by posting “shout outs” like, "Kayong mga takot sa COMMITMENT, kayong mga consistently inconsistent. Bakit ba kayo affected at nagre-react sa mga sinasabi ko? I'm just being TRUE to myself. Kayo na nagsasabi na sayang ang boto kay Gordon kasi di mananalo, e di gawin nyo gusto nyo. Wala lang sisihan diba. E di naman kayo nag-iisip e. You just go with the flow.”
Another one of her shout outs stated, “Vote whomever you want to, just go out and vote. E kahit naman sinong nakaupo, magre-reklamo kayo. Unlike me, kahit sinong umupo, ginagawan ko ng paraan ang buhay ko para maka-adapt. Pero hindi ako ngangawa-ngawa kasi I'm glad I voted for that person. [By the way], in 2004 we voted for Mr Roco. Good guy, bless his soul.”
Magalona’s tirade seemingly stemmed from having seen photos of her and her late husband supposedly “vandalized” by supporters of Aquino to make it appear that they are endorsing his candidacy.
Magalona said she is “disgusted” with the deceptive ploy to mislead voters.
On this matter, she posted, “Don’t tell me to relax. Ever since I became vocal about supporting Mr. Gordon, Noynoy supporters shamelessly vandalized my photo & my dead husband’s, depicting we actually are for their candidate which is outright misleading. Yan ang hirap sa atin. Lahat nalang pine-personal nyo. Why can’t I show my disgust? It’s my right. Besides, I’m not hurting anybody, I’m simply being assertive. Try nyo kaya?”
Her last Facebook post on the matter read thus, “Don't waste your time fighting with me. I'm 45 years old, I have my own mind, I've raised a family. Wala akong kaaway, may pinaglalaban lang ako. Karapatan ko.”
On April 25, Magalona made another statement via Twitter saying, “Supporters of candidates SHOULD be taken in a generalized concept [because that’s] the point: all for one [and] one for all. Besides, [you] represent!”
Bulletin Entertainment tried to contact Magalona for comments but we didn’t get a reply as of press time.
Meanwhile, continued search on the web for said “vandalized photos” yielded no results.
A few days ago, Magalona announced her support for Gordon, citing the former mayor’s “experience” and “many achievements” among reasons why she picked him.
A video of her endorsement has been posted on YouTube.
