As public debate intensified, Roque, a known supporter of the Duterte family, publicly expressed admiration for Joshua's willingness to stand by his beliefs despite the criticism.

"Kakampinks, huwag na kayong ma-i-stress kay Joshua Garcia."
Roque went on to commend the actor for not concealing his political views despite the potential consequences within the entertainment industry.
"In an industry where showing support to Inday Sara Duterte could invite cancellation, Joshua refuses to hide his political convictions."
He also thanked the actor for what he described as choosing principles over maintaining a carefully crafted public image.
"Daghang salamat, Joshua, for choosing integrity over manufactured image."
Roque concluded his message by expressing respect for Joshua's conviction and courage.
"Such conviction as yours is rare and such courage as yours too deserves respect."
Joshua has not publicly addressed the reactions surrounding his repost beyond the social media activity that triggered the discussion. However, the incident has continued to generate conversation online, with supporters and critics expressing opposing opinions about celebrities publicly revealing their political beliefs.
Roque was not the only public figure who defended the actor. Senator Robin Padilla, another vocal Duterte supporter, also expressed support for Joshua by sharing a clip from their 2017 film Unexpectedly Yours. His gesture added to the growing list of personalities backing the actor amid the continuing online debate over his perceived political affiliation.
Joshua Garcia (born October 7, 1997) is a acclaimed Filipino actor, dancer, and commercial model who first rose to prominence following his stint as a housemate on Pinoy Big Brother: All In in 2014. He went on to earn widespread critical acclaim for his leading performances in major television series like The Good Son and box-office hit films such as Vince and Kath and James and Un/Happy for You.
In another report, Pokwang and Meryll Soriano came to Joshua Garcia's defense after the actor received widespread criticism over a political video that circulated online. Joshua became the subject of heated discussions after briefly sharing a politically themed clip related to a high-profile impeachment trial. Meryll emphasized that everyone has the right to express their personal opinions and beliefs. Pokwang, meanwhile, stressed that celebrities should not lose their right to hold and voice political views simply because of their public status.
Meanwhile, Sen. Robin Padilla uploaded a throwback video featuring Joshua Garcia from their 2017 film Unexpectedly Yours. The post came shortly after Joshua drew attention online for reposting a TikTok video that many interpreted as showing support for Vice President Sara Duterte. Robin accompanied the clip with a short caption but did not provide additional context for sharing it. The timing of the upload prompted many social media users to speculate about the reason behind the post.
