Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez is finally making a stand against her critics who cannot seem to accept that she is now a Kapamilya.
While it may have been already weeks since she said goodbye to GMA-7, some bashers are still having a hard time with her decision. Some even throw insults at her, to the point that her friend Arnell Ignacio felt the need to come to her defense.
Velasquez has therefore penned an open letter to her bashers via Instagram yesterday, Oct. 29, to silence them once and for all. She said she is “truly happy” for GMA, and told her bashers, “And I’m happy you guys are happy.”
She then made a suggestion to her haters who accuse her of not being “loyal” to the network despite her 20-year stay with GMA: “Maybe you guys can stop insulting me, my husband and my son.”

“Lumipat lang po ako ng network hindi ako pumatay ng tao (I just transferred to another network, I did not kill anyone),” she told her critics. “Again I’m grateful for my 20 years in GMA I made a lot of friends there and [I] have great memories being a kapuso.”
Velasquez also joked that since she is aware of the bashers’ hatred of her, she is not expecting them to watch her shows in her new network, but she said this is okay.
“Wala naman pong pilitan ito. Free TV po ito walang bayad we are all here to provide you entertainment FOR FREE!!!! So sa madaling salita kayo ang panalo dito.”
(No one is being forced here. This is free TV, no need to pay, we are all here to provide you entertainment for free. So, in simple words, you win here.)
She was then showered with words of support led by her husband Ogie Alcasid: “You are loved, sweetheart. Truly loved.”

Then came encouraging words from none other than the Megastar herself, Sharon Cuneta. She too hit at Velasquez’s bashers, saying, “Ang inaapi binebless ni God (Those who are being attacked are blessed by God)!”
