Francine Diaz refuses to tell her fans whether other actors in the entertainment industry have bullied her.
In a vlog she uploaded on her YouTube channel, Diaz held a Q and A but gave no clear answer when asked if another artist had bullied her.
“I don’t know eh. Grabe, hotseat. Nakaupo ba ako? I don’t know. I refuse to answer that question.” she said laughingly.
However, she did say that the talents she has worked with have mostly been nice to her.
“Ako so far, buti naman hindi sila maldita sa akin, o kinakawa. So far nakakasama ko sa mga project ay mababait sa akin. Thank you for being so kind to me.” she added.
Diaz has always been diplomatic in addressing criticism and hateful comments. The young actress earlier in the year advised the younger generation to refrain from judging others.
“Wag tayo agad mang-judge sa mga nakikita natin sa panlabas lang na anyo ng mga tao…kasi…You’ll never know kung ano ‘yung pinagdadaanan nila, kung bakit nila nagawa ‘yung isang bagay na yun.” Diaz said when asked what here takeaway was from the storyline of her movie Tenement 66.
“And for me ‘yun po ‘yung lesson talaga na masasabi kong pwede kong mai-share sa lahat and also sa mga kabataan ngayon and sa mga mas bata sa amin na ‘wag kang mangjujudge agad… Mas maging kind ka sa mga unkind people kasi mas kailangan nila ‘yun.” she added.
Her statements came after her fellow Gold Squad members, Kyle Echarri, Seth Fedelin, and Andrea Brillantes, were bashed on social media for a video they uploaded.

In the same vlog, Diaz said leaving ABS-CBN never crossed her mind.
“Actually hindi sa pagiging bias, pero never ko talaga naisip na nalumipat ng network. Actually kasi bata pa lang ako, actually kaming lahat ABS-CBN na ang channel na pinapanood namin. Sa sobrang nood mo rin at paghanga sa teleserye nila, alam mo ‘yung pinagarap mo ring magtrabaho roon sa kompanya na yon. So bakit pa ako lilipat? Nandito na ako sa dream company ko. Bakit pa ako bibitaw?” she said.
Spreading more love is what she wants to see more from others.
“As much as you can guys, spread positivity. Don’t spread hate, spread love. As long as you have the happiest heart, everybody can be happy. Everybody happy, everybody laughing. Try to be the light in the dark room, ganoon. Hindi ‘yan nakaka-pretty sinasabi ko sa inyo.
“Kaya sana instead of spreading hate, let’s try to spread happiness, love and laughter. ‘Di ba may kasabihan kapag tumatawa ka, maganda ‘yon sa heart.” she added.
