“Hindi ako nagsisisi na ipagtanggol ang ibang tao.”
Nikko Natividad stood firm in addressing his controversial social media posts supposedly alluding to It’s Showtime host Vice Ganda’s statement on the viral EXpecially For You incident.
The hunk comedian-actor became a hot topic online after netizens alleged his now-deleted posts alluded to Vice Ganda’s statement on the viral EXpecially For You episode where the latter accused a contestant of stealing a kiss from another participant.
In Nikko’s latest post, he firmly stated that he has no regrets about expressing his opinions, adding that he does not regret defending others, despite knowing the potential consequences on his image and career.
“For the last time na magsasalita ako tungkol sa nakaraan kong post. Unang una sa lahat hindi ako nagsisisi na nagsalita ako ng sarili kong saloobin. Hindi ako nagsisisi na ipagtanggol ang ibang tao,” wrote Natividad.
“Nababasa ko mga komento nyo saken at ang gusto nyo mawalan ako ng trabaho dahil lang sa naglabas ako ng sarili kong saloobin. (Na alam ko na posibleng mangyari),” he added.
Nikko questioned if the possibility of sharing his personal struggles would change the public’s perception. However, they made it clear that garnering sympathy or getting involved in unnecessary conflicts was never their intention.
“Kung ikekwento ko ba pinagdaanan at iniyak ko sa kanila magbabago ba tingin n’yo sa’kin? Pero hindi naman yun ang intensyon ko na kumuha ng simpatya o makisali lang sa gulo.
Naglabas ako ng saloobin ko dahil baka sakaling makatulong na may maayos o mabago na sitwasyon,” he stressed.
The former Hashtags member also drew an analogy between their actions and those of a caring family member or friend, emphasizing the importance of honest feedback and intervention.
“Kasi ganun naman ang pamilya at kaibigan. Tatapikin ka kapag alam mong sumosobra o medyo nagkakamali na,” Nikko expressed.
Hindi po ako naghahanap ng kaaway, ang pagkakabura po ng post ko ay management decision, tunay at bukas sa isip at puso ko ang sinabi ko, payapa ang aking kalooban.
Futhermore, Natividad, clarified that the decision to delete his previous posts was made by his management and that he remains at peace with his actions and words.
“Ang pagkakabura po ng post ko ay management decision, tunay at bukas sa isip at puso ko ang sinabi ko, payapa ang aking kalooban,” Nikko asserted.
