Frankie Pangilinan took to Twitter to explain her side after a netizen questioned her for not speaking about Sarah Balabagan’s most recent revelation.
In a series of tweets, Frankie explained that she has no knowledge yet about the Sarah Balabagan issue so she refrains from speaking about it.
i don’t even know what this is about. i haven’t heard their story, and it’s completely unrealistic to expect one person to hear and know everything about every story of abuse ever told and likewise spread awareness for each story. https://t.co/YZvdwCnh4i

She also reminded the netizen that it will be irresponsible on her part to comment on anything without knowing and studying the whole story.
the truth is that it would be impossible for me to call out every single situation. it would likewise be irresponsible for me to just take sides and call stuff out without fully studying and knowing each individual case as well as i can.

Meanwhile, Kakie also said that aside from being an outspoken citizen and social media personality she’s also a student who has obligations to her studies.
She also added that she’ll always be supportive of any cause but also reminded people that she is just an individual and not the movement.
also guys i’m a student 😭 i have other obligations too 😭 i’ve made my principles very clear and i’ll always do my best to be supportive but i’m not the movement, i’m a person.

In the end, Pangilinan said instead of pinning her down on the issue, the netizen should use his energy to engage in actual causes.
you can try to use that to discredit me in whatever capacity it may but y’all care too much about individuals — try bringing that same energy to the actual causes.

Sarah Balabagan recently came out with a Facebook live revelation about the real father of her first child. And it turned out, it was Kapuso journalist Arnold Clavio who got her pregnant.
Although it was decades ago, Sarah said someone brought it up recently and she just wanted to set the record straight to end all speculations and rumors about it.
Sarah Balabagan was a media sensation in the ’90s after her murder case caught international attention. She was initially sentenced to death but with the Philippine government’s appeal and the help of many businessmen, Sarah’s sentence was commuted to several years of imprisonment, 100 cane strokes, and payment of blood money to the family of the person she killed.
After serving her sentence she came back to the Philippines and became an instant celebrity.
