Angel Locsin encouraged a fellow supporter of her presidential bet to continue being compassionate despite the election results.

The actress had an exchange with one @shawyville who is a supporter of presidential candidate Vice President Leni Robredo, via Locsin’s Instagram page yesterday, May 11. While there were no mentions about the candidate, the netizen was apparently pertaining to Robredo trailing behind Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. in the presidential race.

“Umiyak ka rin ba katulad namin?” the netizen asked. (Did you also cry like us?)

“Malungkot but taas noo. Ituloy natin ang nabuong malasakit sa bayan at sa kapwa. Proud to have fought alongside you,” Locsin replied.

([I am] sad but proud. Let us continue the compassion that we built towards our country and fellowmen. Proud to have fought alongside you.)

The netizen stated that it was hard for her to smile and work at the same time, as she is still processing what is happening. Locsin then reminded her not to be disheartened and to continue whenever she is ready.

“Naiintindihan ko. Pero kailangan bumangon kundi mapupunta lang lahat ng mga sacrifices and efforts natin sa wala, ‘di ba?” Locsin said.

(I understand but you have to lift yourself up or else our sacrifices and efforts will be for nothing, right?)
