Social media personality Jam Magno’s sister has called on the public to stop attacking her family as the propagandist’s political views do not reflect theirs.
On facebook, Dia Nicole Mancao Magno wrote a lengthy message asking people to give her family respect and peace.
“I would like to reiterate that her personal opinion and stand on matters concerning national interest do not reflect our views as a family or even myself.
“We are private citizens and we appeal to all of you to respect our privacy as individuals.” she wrote.
Jam is a huge supporter of President Rodrigo Duterte. She constantly defends him from criticisms and also attacks anyone who opposes the current Administration.
When vaccines arrived in the country, though relatively late compared to neighboring countries, Jam praised Duterte and told the public to be thankful.
TikTok recently banned her after targeting Miss Universe 2020 candidate Rabiya Mateo. Jam expressed no concern as she believes the suspension will eventually be lifted.
“Let me remind you that being banned on Tiktok is NOT new to me and I came back from it before.” she said.
Dia wasn’t affected by the criticism hurled at her but decided to respond when people started going after her family.
“I have seen how recent events have affected my family, particularly my parents, and my only hope is that you spare them from the anguish of having to deal with all this hatred
“Mental health is an issue I take seriously and I hope people understand the kind of pain and alienation that negative comments can have towards a family that has done nothing to harm anyone.”
In the same post, Dia seemingly distances herself from her sister, saying that she could care less about what comes out of Jam’s mouth.
“We want to clarify that we have absolutely no intention of participating in the public discourse involving my sister, nor do we wish to engage with all the malicious and hateful comments that have emerged from this — whether they were made by my sister or by the viewing public.”
She also clarified that none of her family members caught the Chinese virus.
Dia participates in beauty pageants. She made it to the Top 40 of Binibining Pilipinas 2019.
