"Ang gaxxx lang ng statement na inuna pa ipagtanggol yung kabit kesa sa inanakan. Nakakagalit lalo.. wag si yen?!?! I cant. Karma will come around. I will pray for LJ and the innocent kids."

"If you truly Love Lj. Then sundan mo sya sa states.. Give up everything para sa kanila.. kaya mo bang iwan ang showbiz at makapag focus sa kanila? pRay ka nalang Bro!!"

"I think when man do such mistakes in life they will never realize it until everything will slap them in the face with all the consequences that will go with it. But as they said love is the best thing in life and when it’s over it’s the hardest and painful experience that anyone can have. We all go through break up and disappointments in life. But we should respect someone privacy in time like this. We never know what happened in close door. Sometimes it’s better to happen early then later in life. People change and also circumstances. Just stay strong and always remember the feeling of the kids and people that effected by your actions in life."

"Praying for healing and peace of mind sainyo ni LJ."

"Edi wow! Hahahahahaha pavictim of love tayo jan! hahahahhahaha"

"May God be the center of your life para di mo ipagpalit ang magandang pamilyang meron ka. God bless you."

"Di ko kinaya yung friends na dikit na dikit sa isat-isa at magkaholding hands pa. Huuuuy! Di kami bulag at shunga para di mahalata ang pinagkaiba ng kaibigan sa karelasyon."

"Hoping na po sa mga darating na panahon marealize mo po na mas masaya ang buo ang pamilya."

"Yen Santos was never the reason raw pero ang daming nakakita sainyo na magkasama sa BGC not once but twice at lagi pa kayong magkasama sa rockwell. Nag check in pa kayo ng iisang hotel together (nasa front desk ako nun hehe) . Malamang madidiin yan kasi ang daming nakakita sainyo sa resto na nagsusubuan at "love" pa tawagan nyo, how sweet diba. So lahat ba to as a friend lang? nakaka(t)awa kayong dalawa."

"How insensitive of you, paolo. You went to Baguio para kamo makapagisip isip and ininvite mo si Yen para lang may makausap ka? Si Yen lang ba naisip mong takbuhan? Of all people? And di naman po bulag at tanga ang mga tao sa vidoe na kumalat sa social media with yen na nakayapos pa siya sayo. Karma na bahala sa inyo."

"Sana hindi ka nalang nag post ng ganito. Mas lalo lng nakakainis at lalo ka lang nag bigay ng rason para mas mainis ang tao kay Yen."
