Alonte further piqued the public’s curiosity by sharing a cryptic post on his Instagram story. The post featured an image of a dog sitting, which many interpreted as a symbolic representation of his experience of being “benched.”
As the circulating video and cryptic Instagram post continue to captivate fans’ attention, the question remains: Was Alonte truly affected by his benching?
Recently, Alonte’s cousin RB Chanco also took to Instagram and Twitter on May 24 to express her thoughts on the controversy surrounding Alonte’s benching. Chanco emphasized the importance of knowing one’s worth and never settling for less than deserved.
Her posts resonated with fans who continue to hold unwavering support for Alonte.
Kapamilya star Loisa Andalio also took to Instagram on May 28 to share her disappointment over Alonte’s benching in the recent #ASG2023. The post, accompanied by photos of Alonte playing and images of the couple together, conveyed Andalio’s belief that it is time to walk away when one is not appreciated for who they are and deserves respect.
“It’s time to walk away when you’re not appreciated for who you are. You deserve to be respected.” Andalio quoted.
Andalio and Alonte, collectively known as LoiNie, have emerged as one of the most promising and captivating love teams in the local entertainment industry. Their journey began when they first crossed paths on the set of It’s Showtime. Since then, they have nurtured their relationship, and now, after six years, they continue to captivate audiences with their onscreen chemistry and off-screen romance.
Despite the turmoil, both currently collaborate on a new project, the series Pira-pirasong Paraiso. The show will also feature the love team KDLex (Alexa Ilacad and KD Estrada), and marks the first teleserye collaboration between ABS-CBN and TV5.
While the release date is yet to be announced, fans eagerly anticipate this joint venture.
