As the latest leading man of AJ Raval in the newest Vivamax film Crush Kong Curly, Hashtags member Wilbert Ross was aware of all the controversies being linked to his sexy co-star. The 24-year-old actor couldn’t help but speak up for AJ during a recent mediacon for the film.

“My word for people na jinu-judge like AJ at lalo na sa ibang mga tao diyan na jinu-judge ng publiko, stay strong tapos huwag mo masyado dibdibin lahat. Kasi kilala natin yung sarili natin at kung ano tayo. Hindi natin kailangan i-prove yung sarili natin sa ibang tao kasi alam natin mismo sa sarili natin at alam ng mga tao sa paligid natin, mga pamilya and friends, kung ano tayo at ano ang worth natin sa mundo,” he said.

Wilbert also shared another message for bashers who are quick to judge celebrities based on what they see online. “Ang masasabi ko lang sa mga judgmental na tao, minsan kasi nagiging hobby na siya to judge people. Siguro hindi sa kanila dapat yung pagsasabihan kasi parang yung tao hindi na sila napipigilan talaga. Kahit anong sabihin mo, sarado yung utak nila. In short, yung mga ganyang tao yun talaga ginagawa nila, manira, kung anu-anong sinasabi,” he explained.

Currently single, the Crush Kong Curly actor explained why he chose not to be in a relationship at the moment.

“Wala po akong girlfriend kasi ayoko na maglaro as much as possible. Kumbaga tapos na ako sa phase na yun. Ako kasi pag may nami-meet akong tao, tapos nafi-feel ko na parang hindi kami ka-vibes so parang hindi siya mag-wo-work, hindi ko na pinapatagal. Pinuputol ko kagad. Kasi alam natin sa panahon ngayon sa pandemic, malaking bagay yung inspired ka. Alam mo yun. Like in love ka tapos parang inspired ka everyday. Parang ganun. I don’t want to waste my time sa taong alam kong hindi ko mabibigay lahat,” he added.
