Megastar Sharon Cuneta has denied the fake news circulating about her husband, senatorial aspirant Atty. Kiko Pangilinan. In a video statement released on Monday, February 24, Sharon admitted that she has been thinking for a long time whether she should refute the rumors and slander against her husband.
According to the actress, the false information circulating about Kiko has not stopped, especially now that he is running for senator again. Sharon stated that social media has a strong influence today and it often becomes a means of spreading negative news, especially when it is accompanied by malice.
“The influence of social media is strong, isn’t it? Especially now and especially when it is negative and malicious,” Sharon stated.
She was also not spared by the opinions of social scientists who say that the repeated spreading of a lie or fake news can cause the public to believe it.
Sharon also said that this kind of attack against their family is not new, but despite all this, she feels the need to speak up and clarify these matters, especially to those close to them and her husband’s supporters. She said that she will not allow false information to have a negative impact on their lives, especially on Kiko’s family.
In response to the untrue statements, Sharon showed her trust and love for Kiko during their more than three decades of marriage. According to Sharon, Kiko is one of the best people she has ever met, not only as a husband, but also as a father and leader of their family. Sharon shared that Kiko does not make promises lightly, and if he does, he keeps them in any situation. “When he really promises to block a spear, he has to keep it. That’s how he is to us,” the actress said, showing high respect and appreciation for her husband’s dedication to their family.
Through a video statement, Sharon expressed her desire to present the truth to the people and avoid spreading fake news that could cause misunderstanding and disagreement. She wanted to show people Kiko’s good character and explain that the intrigues being spread are baseless.
Finally, Sharon expressed her gratitude to the people who continue to support her family and Kiko’s campaign. She chose to continue their lives with respect for each other, and to fight for what is right and true. Despite the negative news, she is not affected and will continue to fight for her family and Kiko’s principles as a public servant.
