TV host Bianca Gonzalez issued a statement via Twitter recently after her comments about the first State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. received mixed reactions.
She wrote, "Hindi ako nag 'change sides' at hindi naiba ang paninindigan ko dahil sa isang speech."
The issue started with her posting: "That was a good SONA for PBBM. Here's hoping this admin delivers on the promises, para sa Bayan."
Bianca went on to add in another post: "I may have voted for Leni Robredo and I still believe the Marcos family needs to be accountable for the stolen wealth and the ML human rights abuses, but BBM is our duly elected President and I felt his SONA was good. Kung successful ang admin, success din ng Bayan."
According to Bianca, like many others, she wanted to "not care about politics anymore" when the former Vice President lost the election.
"Pero hindi nagtagal yun dahil lahat tayo, may pakialam sa bansa," she related. "Mabuti nang mapagmatiyag sa administrasyon, para mabantayan ang mga pangako sa Bayan. Tuloy ang People's Movement."
