Cristine Reyes’s tribute to the late Barbie Hsu immediately caused a stir in the online community.

Immediately after becoming the focus of online criticism, Cristine Reyes deleted the memorial photo of the actress, and posted a response to negative comments aimed at her: “So say ‘Happy Birthday’. Is that okay? Everything has to be perfect now. People are not allowed to make mistakes these days. You will be in trouble as soon as you do something wrong, right? Maybe I have to cry on my birthday today. Is that okay? A lot of people act like they are perfect.” Cristine’s counterattack made many viewers dislike the actress even more and continued to “brick” her even more fiercely.
