Veteran columnist Cristy Fermin defended Maricel Soriano after journalist Jay Sonza claimed that the ‘Diamond Star’ was spotted running out of her condominium unit without any garments in 2012.
In a Facebook post, Sonza claimed that Maricel was included on the PDEA’s watch list, which explained her alleged bizarre act.
However, Cristy believed that people should stop mentioning the past of Maricel, saying that everyone once committed a mistake during their lifetime.
“Ang mahalaga po eto lang naman… Lahat naman po tayo nagkakamali ng desisyon sa buhay natin,” said Cristy. “Minsan panahon nakagawa rin po tayo isang desisyon na labag sa ating kalooban, pero dahil mga tao lang tayo na mabuhay sa kaway ng kanyang pagkakataon, tayo ay napupunta sa ganoong sitwasyon,”
“Pero ang pinakamahalaga po ‘yung ngayon, siguro pu-pwede nating bigyan talaga ng mula sa pusong pagkakataon na unawain si Maricel Soriano lalo na ngayon na nakikita naman natin ang pagpupursige niya na makabalik sa pag-arte at mahalin ang kanyang trabaho,” she added.
Cristy’s co-host, Rommel Chika also said that most celebrities also had a dark past like Maricel.
They also believed that Maricel would not waste her time addressing the post made by Sonza.
In 2011, Maricel’s vices were disclosed by her former helpers who filed charges against her.
