Pop princess Sarah Geronimo’s recent breakdown during her Las Vegas, Nevada concert last April 29 had stars in the showbiz industry staunchly rallying behind her for support. While her coming unhinged was an object of worry by many, boyfriend Matteo Guidicelli, on the other hand, had assured people last May 1 that girlfriend Geronimo was fine and was just tired from her #This15Me United States tour.
However, a new issue blew up in the realm of Twitter today, May 3, when Popsters — what Geronimo’s fans call themselves — accused singers Angeline Quinto and Morissette Amon of mocking and laughing at Geronimo’s breakdown.
It seems the root of the ruckus came from an alleged personal assistant who took to Facebook recently to reveal that Quinto and Amon (Amon was Geronimo’s mentee in “The Voice of the Philippines” back in 2013) were laughing at the video of Geronimo’s breakdown.
The post was written by a certain Arven Page Japos. It has since been deleted from his Facebook profile, although netizens were quick to take screenshots of his post and share them on social media.
“Morissette Amon & Angeline Quinto, pinagtawanan nyo talaga ang nangyari kay Sarah G? Talagang hindi nyo mararamdaman ang pagod na nadama ni SG eh kasi puro lang kayo sigawan, wala kayong kaliwa’t kanang endorsement, movies, at sandamakmak na corporate guestings!” wrote Japos.
(Morissette Amon & Angeline Quinto, you were really laughing at what happened to Sarah G? You really won’t feel the kind of fatigue she felt because you’re both just noisy. You do not have left-and-right endorsements, movies and numerous corporate guestings.)
“Kailan man hindi nyo mararating mga achievements ni Sarah,” added Japos. (You will never ever reach the achievements of Sarah.)

Quinto, on the other hand, was quick to take to her Twitter account to give her side on the issue. She tweeted several times today, May 3, to defend herself, writing, “Popsters, napaka laki ng respeto ko kay Sarah Geronimo, napakalaki ng respeto ko sa mga supporters niya, nakikiusap ako, ilabas niyo ang video, iharap niyo sa akin ang taong sinasabi niyo na staff ng abs-cbn nakikiusap ako sainyo Popsters. Ngayon lang ako makikiusap sainyo.”
(Popsters, I have huge respect for Sarah Geronimo, I have huge respect for her supporters. I appeal, present the video. Let me come face to face with that person who you say is a staff of ABS-CBN. I appeal to you, Popsters. This is the only time I will ask you anything.)
Popsters,napaka laki ng respeto ko kay Sarah Geronimo,napakalaki ng respeto ko sa mga supporters niya, nakikiusap ako, ilabas niyo ang video,iharap niyo sa akin ang taong sinasabi niyo na staff ng abs-cbn nakikiusap ako sainyo Popsters. Ngayon lang ako makikiusap sainyo.

Quinto further explained that she was not initially aware of the issue about Geronimo’s breakdown, even during her appearance in “ASAP” on Sunday. She said she was only informed about it last Monday by a friend, which should mean it would have been impossible for an ABS-CBN staff to hear any reaction from her.
Unang una sa lahat popsters hindi ko pa alam ang issue na yan about Sarah Geronimo, nung nag Asap ako nung linggo, nalaman ko ang issue kay Sarah galing sa best friend ko,
April 30 (Monday) so paano narinig ng staff ng abs-cbn? E nalaman ko nga lunes pa.— Angeline Quinto (@AngelineQuinto) May 3, 2018
She also beseeched Geronimo’s fans to show her the video of an ABS-CBN staff that recorded her and Amon laughing at Geronomi’s video and calling her pabebe.
Nasaan ang video at ang staff ng abs-cbn na nakarinig at naka kita sa amin ni Morisette na pinag tatawanan ang video ni Sarah Geronimo at sinabihan naming Pabebe si Sarah? POPSTERS NAKIKIUSAP AKO. IPAKITA NIYO SA AMIN NI MORISETTE.

But despite Quinto’s pleas to Geronimo’s fans to show her the alleged video, none surfaced.
A few hours after her tweets, Quinto took to her Twitter once more, this time in a different tone. It appears that some of Geronimo’s fans who accused her had come forward to apologize to her. While she thanked them for the gesture, she stressed that what’s important is for everyone to think about Geronimo’s welfare. JB
Sa ibang popsters na humihingi ng sorry, nag direct message at humihingi ng paumanhin, hindi niyo kailangan gawin yan, Maraming Salamat sainyo. Sana isipin nalang natin ang pinagdadaanan ni Sarah. Nakikiusap ako sainyo para kay Sarah nalang.❤
