Toni Gonzaga, a staunch supporter of presidential candidate Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr., has cast another controversial statement in a campaign sortie of the UniTeam in Cebu City.
The actress-host shouted at the event that Marcos Jr, also known as BBM among his supporters, could finally “return to his former home” in no time – referring to Malacañang.
“Konting konting panahon nalang, babalik na si BBM sa kanyang tahanan: Ang Malacañang. Kasama niya ang sambayanang Pilipino na naniniwala sa kaniya,” Gonzaga said.
However, Gonzaga’s statement did not sit well with some netizens rooting for different candidates.
“Malacañang is owned by the Filipino people, this is not anyone’s house, Toni Gonzaga,” a Twitter user said.
“Their family treated the people’s tax as their money and now claiming that Malacañang is their home? How twisted is that?” another one added.
“This sentence alone indicates how much their campaign is just to bring back this certain family to power, and was never truly for the unity of the people like what they are trying to convey. Toni has definitely sold her soul and dignity,” another netizen added.
“Malacañang belongs to the people of the Philippines and is not, and will never be, an exclusive property of the Marcoses. Sorry, but this statement of yours can’t be filed under the ‘respect my opinion’ category,” tweeted another netizen.
