KC also said that she had spent a long time thinking about her family relationships and that the decision to unfollow was just an act to find peace for herself. “Social media does not define my family relationship. No matter what, my mother and I have always had a deep love for each other,” KC added.

Sharon Cuneta asks bashers to stop comparing daughters Frankie Pangilinan and KC Concepcion
Sharon Cuneta to critics, “As a mother, how dare they compare the two of you?”
On Monday evening, Megastar Sharon Cuneta went live on Instagram to reveal the emotional turmoil her family has endured over the past few weeks.

According to Sharon, she was hurt by the malicious attacks directed at Frankie Pangilinan to the point that some even compared her daughter’s physical appearance to that of KC Concepcion.

She said before bursting to tears, “Of course she’s beautiful. She’s the daughter of a matinee idol.”

KC is the daughter of Sharon with actor Gabby Concepcion while Frankie is the eldest daughter of Sharon with Senator Francis “Kiko Pangilinan.”

Sharon then turned to Frankie, who’s in the same room as her, and said, “I’m so sorry, hun. You [Frankie] don’t deserve that.

“And in the end, that’s not what matters, you know? Physical beauty fades.

“They shouldn’t do that to sisters, they shouldn’t do that to children, and most importantly, they shouldn’t do that to siblings. You shouldn’t do that to women.

“As a mother… how dare they? I love you all equally.”

She then turned to the camera to tell bashers, “Just criticize me.

“Naturally, Kiko is not handsome… as handsome as Gabby.

“But when I married Kiko it didn’t matter, because all my handsome dates just hurt me. My husband is not ugly in person, he’s just not a matinee idol

“But how dare you, you’re going to fight the siblings? I gave birth to them. On top of that, Frankie has also been a target of rape which is currently being investigated by authorities.

Frankie to take a step back from social media

Unlike her mom, Frankie Pangilinan continues her fight against rape culture online but in a more tamed manner.

On Wednesday, July 1, Frankie wrote that she’ll be taking a step back from Twitter — a platform she prominently uses.

She told her followers, “Hi my loves, I was initially just going to take a break but I figured, I’d let you know first in case my silence is odd.

“I’ll be keeping my distance from social media as much as possible while still occasionally helping spread awareness for things that matter.

“I hope you understand and I love you so much.”

Early Thursday morning, Frankie clarified that she’s taking a hiatus, not because of the insults and accusations she’s received from voicing her opinions online.

Adding, “To clarify, this isn’t why. The mudslinging has been happening for years.”
