Former "Eat Bulaga!" host Ciara Sotto has defended her friend Maine Mendoza after her offensive tweets in the past resurfaced.
In a series of tweets, Ciara wrote: "All of us have made mistakes in the past that we regret, especially when we were younger... Being a celebrity doesn't mean we are not allowed to make those mistakes... we are human just like you. STOP THE HATE BE KIND TO OTHERS...and to YOURSELF," she wrote.
It was followed by a tweet showing her support to Maine: "You are not defined by your past mistakes. Whatever you've been through doesn't have to be the end of you. You are valuable and irreplaceable. And I love You!!! @mainedcm."
Maine and Ciara have some history together as friends, with the half of AlDub loveteam appearing on "Helen's Kitchen" vlog last February.
Last Saturday, Maine was one of the trending topics on social media as some of her past tweets suddenly resurfaced.
