Seth Fedelin appealed to fans to respect and support his “friend,” apparently referring to his onscreen love team partner Andrea Brillantes, after she earlier went official about her relationship with actor-basketball player Ricci Rivero.
Fedelin broke his silence and came to Brillantes’ defense after he had enough of the bad comments towards her, as per his Instagram page yesterday, April 10.
“Guys kasi ‘yung mga nababasa ko, alam niyo po ‘yun, na napaka-unfair dahil wala po kayong alam. Unfair po para sa kaibigan ko na makabasa at makarinig ng mga salita na wala po tayong karapatan para banggitin,” he said.
(Guys, I have been reading a lot of comments and you know, it is unfair because you don’t know anything. It is unfair to my friend to read and hear such words that we don’t have the right to say in the first place.)
While he did not specify the comments he was pertaining to, the actor stressed that he and his friend know the truth.
“Alam po namin kung anong talagang nangyari, alam po ng kaibigan namin kung ano talagang nangyari kaya ito, hindi ko na natiis talaga kasi sobra na po guys. Nawawalan na po tayo ng respeto,” he stated. “Hindi po deserve ng kaibigan ko na makarinig ng mga gano’ng salita, mga pekeng balita kaya please lang, tama na po.”
(We both know what really happened, our friends also know what happened that’s why I’m here because I had enough, it’s too much. We are already losing respect. My friend does not deserve to hear those kinds of words and false reports, so please stop it.)
Fedelin then asked fans to be supportive of his friend’s relationship, adding that he does not harbor any ill feeling.
“Ako po, wala po akong galit. Ang meron po ako ay tuwa dahil deserve ng kaibigan ko na may gumawa sa kanya ng gano’ng bagay — ipagsigawan siya sa publiko,” he said. “Kaya happy po ako, wala po akong anything negative na nararamdaman dahil alam ko po ang totoo.”
(I do not feel anger. What I feel right now is joy because my friend deserves that kind of gesture — for her to be acknowledged publicly. That’s why I’m happy and I have no negative feelings because I know the truth.)
“Suportahan na lang po natin, ‘wag na po tayong sumira. Ako po mismo, suportado ko silang dalawa,” Fedelin added. “Walang dapat madehado dito kasi kaming dalawa ‘yung may alam kung anong totoo.”
(Let’s just support them and not wish them ill. I myself support the two of them. No one should be put in a bad position here because the two of us know the truth.)
Brillantes said “yes” to a surprise proposal Rivero made to her, asking her to be his girlfriend, after his University Athletic Association of the Philippines basketball game last Saturday, April 9.
Meanwhile, Fedelin and Brillantes, known as the love team “SethDrea,” is set to star in the musical series “Lyric and Beat” along with Darren Espanto, AC Bonifacio, Nyoy Volante and Agot Isidro, among others. JB
