Yap wrote in a Facebook post.

He also reflected on the inconsistencies he observed in the entertainment industry. He mentioned one celebrity who criticized Ella Cruz for supporting Marcos, and another who acted as if they were morally righteous while publicly condemning others for alleged corruption and human rights violations, yet attended the same event.

“Walang masama kung nagbago na ang kanilang paniniwala, or baka wala silang hapunan ng gabing iyon. Ang masama ay yung sakit ng salita, panlilibak at panghuhusga nila sa kapwa nung panahon ng kampanya, hindi na mababawi iyon,” he said.
