Jolina Magdangal came under fire after congratulating newlyweds Charlie Dizon and Carlo Aquino, as the latter became a center of criticism for his alleged “neglect” of his former partner, Trina Candaza, and their daughter.
On Instagram, Magdangal expressed her happiness for Dizon and Aquino, saying she also “manifested” that the two would end up with each other and that she had been “a witness” to their love story.
“Sabi ni April (Dizon) sa vows nya totoo daw pala ang manifesting.. gusto ko lang share na isa ako sa nagmanifest para sa forever nyo. At yung mga sinabi ni Kaloi (Aquino) sa vows naman nya kung paano nya iingatan, aalagaan at mamahalin si April, alam na alam ko na puso nya ang nagsasalita,” wrote the actress. “Thankful ako na nawitness ko ang kanilang pag iisang dibdib.”
Magdangal then praised Aquino for “being loving towards his family,” while she complimented Dizon for “being true to her craft and being down-to-earth.”
“Kaloi, bilang bata ka pa magkakilala na tayo, alam ko kung gaano ka kabait na anak at mapagmahal sa family mo. Sobrang happy ko talaga para sayo. April, mula nung malaman ko na mag sister tayo kay Nanay Nenet, nasundan na kita and ina-admire talaga kita sa galing mo sa craft mo pero higit sa lahat, sa pagka humble mo,” added the actress.
However, netizens flooded the comments section of what seemed to be a harmless post, dragging Magdangal into their condemnation of Aquino’s past relationship.
“ano ba jolina? Panong naging mabait e iniwan nga ang mag-ina nya? Baby pa lang anak nila iniwan na. Very immature,” lamented one netizen.
“Palakunsinte kaibigan ka pala Jolina.. Kinunsinte mo pa pala cla.. kawawa Trina at sa baby nila,” wrote another IG user.
“Mabait na anak at mabait sa family? Haha kamusta kaya ang pagging ama nitong si carlo?” weighed in another netizen.
In one of the comments defending Aquino’s separation from his ex-partner, Magdangal thanked the netizen for their “understanding.”
“Puro kau kawawa si Trina, Hindi nya ako hater at mas Lalo Hindi ako fans ng dalawa na Yan,,pero Sana isipin nyo mas kawawa si Trina,carlo at anak nila kung patuloy Sila magsasama ng dahil lang sa Bata pero Hindi na Sila Masaya lalaki Ang Bata na puro nlang away Ang magulang nya, Isa pa wag nyo isisi Kay Carlo Ang lahat dahil lahat Naman Tayo my ugaling pangit na tinatago,” said the netizen.
“Salamat sa malawak na pang unawa,” replied Magdangal.
Aquino and Candaza dated each other from 2019 until 2022. They share a daughter named Mithi.
On June 9, Aquino married Dizon at a private ceremony in Silang, Cavite, almost two years after confirming their relationship.
