PAGKATAPOS

ng ingay noong isang araw sa telebisyon at lalo na sa social media tungkol sa pag-address ng issue tungkol sa depression na nasagi sa banter sa Eat Bulaga, patuloy na binagabag ang loob ni Ryan Agoncillo kaya naglabas siya ng kanyang saloobin tungkol sa isyu na umayon naman sa nauna nang naging pahayag ni Maine Mendoza.

“Good morning,” simula ni Ryan sa post sa kanyang social media account. “I hope all is well with you and your family. Like you, I’m all too aware of how real depression is. Having had to deal with it for a long time now, having lost friends, heroes and even myself to its depths, I know when it rears it’s ugly head, signs aren’t instant but more like quicksand.

“I know it cuts across the board, it knows no age, gender, religion, civil or economic status. What unfolded yesterday was a very painful and familiar exchange. I’ve heard it at the dinner table, in the car on the way to school and at the office cafeteria, everywhere, the ferocity with which the reaction was released was what made me pay close attention though.

“Instead of the TV instincts kicking in for a quick draw reaction, I knew I had to remain quiet and not add to the noise. Because it is this very noise that pushes the quiet ones further into a corner.

“It is good we have this avenue for expression, let’s continue to do so. it is healthier, thank you for this. Mahigpit na yakap para sa iyo at sa mga tahimik,” pagwawakas ni Ryan sa kanyang social media account. A principled move and a circumspec­t act, I think, and mind you, hindi na intensiyon ni Ryan na patulan pa ang mga reaksiyon na lalo pang makakadagd­ag sa ingay at pagkakahat­i.

Stop the hate! Respect and love always!
