The issue gained widespread attention after Apple, 33, confirmed that she is dating Chad, who is 18 years old. Their 15-year age difference quickly became a topic of discussion online, prompting divided opinions among social media users.
Kakai first entered the conversation after commenting on a Facebook post featuring Apple's TikTok Live session, where Apple brushed off remarks about her age and joked about critics calling her "gurang."
Reacting to the backlash against the couple, Kakai questioned why many people were angry over a relationship that she viewed as a personal matter.

“Bat galit na galit kayo kung nagkagusto ang 18 years old sa kanya? BUHAY NYA YAN. Pinakealaman nya ba yung BUHAY nyo nung naglandi kayo?🤣”
She also argued that people seemed more willing to overlook larger societal concerns while focusing heavily on someone else's relationship.
"kung ikakasama ng buhay nyo or pineperwisyo kayo, OR APEKTADO ang ekonomiya dahil sa relasyon nila dun kayo mag aklas. JUSKOWLORD BANSA. ng mga walang bahid ng kasalanan ang Pinas eh.🤣”
Her remarks immediately sparked mixed reactions, with several netizens accusing her of enabling gr*oming while others expressed disappointment over her position.
In a video uploaded on July 4, Kakai directly addressed the criticism and questioned why she was being labeled an "enabler."
"Guys anong enabler pinagsasabi niyo? At tsaka halos lahat – I'm sorry ha mga galit 'yong LGBTQ na mga people. I love you guys. Mahal ko kayo pero ba't niyo sinasabing enabler ako? Hindi ba kayo masaya? Fifteen years age gap tini-take niyo as gr*oming. Kung sa tingin niyo nga na masama nga 'yong ginagawa, mag-file kayo ng complaint.”
She explained that she had personally searched for information about the issue and found no legal complaint involving Apple and Chad.
"I researched everywhere, wala naman nag-complain about their relationship. Kayo lang ang maingay. And whatever it is that they have, I'm happy for them.”
Kakai also dismissed accusations that the relationship automatically amounted to gr*oming.
"Gr*oming, nangyayari ba sa roblox? Ano? Nakakaloka kayo."
She followed it with another appeal for people to allow others to live their lives peacefully.
"Hayaan niyo nang maging masaya 'yong tao. Kayo lang ang nag-iisip ng ganiyan eh. I-block n'yo na 'ko. Wag niyo na 'kong gustuhin. Wala akong pakialam. Awayin niyo 'ko kapag may nag-complain na, may formal complaint na, may kaso na. Nag-research ako wala namang nagkakaso."
According to the actress, those criticizing the couple were the ones creating unnecessary negativity.
"Kayo lang 'yong galit na galit. 'Di ko maintindihan. Oh my God. Masyado kayong malungkot sa buhay. Hayaan niyo na maging masaya 'yong mga tao. I think walang problema if they love each other and they like each other and they're happy. Walang problema do'n. Ayaw niyo ba maging happy?”
She added that constantly judging other people could drive away both happiness and good fortune.
"Alam niyo lalayo sa inyo ang swerte pag ganiyan ang mga ugali ninyo. Lalayuan din kayo ng true love. Lalayuan kayo ng mga magkakagusto sa inyo. Not pretty 'yan. Hindi nakaka-pretty. Guys hindi nakaka-happy."
Kakai reiterated that her position would only change if an official complaint or legal case were eventually filed against Apple David.
"Bumalik kayo sa akin kapag may nag-complain na, may kaso na. Ako mang-aaway kay Apple David. Balikan niyo 'ko ha? As of now, Diyos ko kung anu-ano na namang itinatawag n'yo sa akin. Wag kayo magsalita ha? Kasi marami kayong hindi alam."
She also made another fiery remark aimed at some of her online critics.
"Manahimik kayo kapag lalo na 'yong mga nakiki-wifi lang at tsaka hindi insured ha? Kung wala pa kayong mga memorial plan, wala kayong insurance wag niyo kong inaaway-away ha? Mga bata kayo! Diyos ko! Hindi kayo nagpa-aral sa kapatid ko kaya tumahimik kayo."
Ending her message, Kakai once again stood by her earlier statement.
"Balikan niyo ko kapag kakasuhan na si Apple David, okay?"
Her video continued to divide public opinion. While some agreed that no conclusions should be made without legal action, others maintained that legality and morality are separate issues.
