• Elmo Magalona’s fan tweeted Pia Magalona, showing her support for the young actor.
• Pia Magalona told the fan not to worry.

In the midst of Elmo Magalona’s silence regarding Jenella Salvador’s accusation about physical abuse, his mother, Pia Magalona, left a short message in response to a netizen’s worry.

Last week, a supporter of Elmo tweeted Pia, saying that she’s worried about the well-being of the actor especially now that he’s in the center of the controversy.

The fan added that she knows that the young actor is the victim in the situation.

@piamagalona Tita how is Moe? I am terribly worried about him with these interviews, bashing, articles…I know he is the victim, not the instigator. Tell him I love him to see him destroyed like this? Thanks Tita..Tia Rose

Pia then answered and said “Don’t worry”.

Thanks Tita Rose. Don’t worry…

Aside from the said reply and a few cryptic messages from her account, Pia has not yet directly addressed the issue. She has been continuously active in her Instagram and Twitter accounts but has remained quiet when asked about Janella’s statements.

Pia’s posts have earned mixed comments from the netizens, with some urging her to address her son’s issue, and others pass on their messages of support for Elmo.

• Pia Magalona tweeted vague tweets after Janella Salvador went public that Elmo Magalona allegedly hurt her twice. 
• Pia’s tweets pertained to subjects such as fake news and mental illness.

Elmo Magalona remains mum about Janella Salvador’s statements regarding his alleged physical abuse towards the actress.

But Elmo’s mother, Pia Magalona, tweeted messages on October 23, seemingly connected to the issue the day that Janella’s side of the story got published.

“Sorry. Those are not real problems.” -Josh Chan’s mom, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, S03E09 #Netflix

She also tweeted something about ‘fake news’ and its causes.

“‘Fake news’ and other forms of disinformation are not accidents of information technology; they are human decisions, and follow a certain if cruel logic. Again, the 3Ds: Deliberateness. Disguise. Deception.”

And the last one addressing a mental illness called borderline personality disorder, wherein one’s admiration shifts to dislike or hatred.

In borderline personality disorder, devaluation often alternates with idealization. They may shift from great admiration for a loved one — idealization of that person — to an intense anger or dislike towards that person — devaluation of that person.

A few days ago, Janella broke her silence about the bruises that were seen in one of her friends Julia Barretto’s Instagram stories.

She stated that it was not because of an accident and she has decided to tell the truth to stop the spread of lies.

“It was not the first time that he hurt me.

“The first time happened months earlier. He claimed that he didn’t remember what he did, maybe because he had a drink, and he asked for forgiveness and I gave him a chance. I told him, ‘Next time, don’t bring yourself to the point that you will hurt someone.’ He promised naman that he wouldn’t do it again.” 

“My purpose in speaking now is not to shame him or to put him down; I just want to correct the lies being spread against me and my mom, and to let the truth out. I thought long and hard before I decided to speak out. I gave (Elmo) the chance to speak up and own up to what he did but it seems that somebody is stopping him from doing it.”

• Elmo Magalona and Paul Salas got accused of physical abuse.
• Despite allegations, both boys have decided not to comment on the matter.

Young stars Elmo Magalona and Paul Salas are just two of the most talked-about personalities of this generation. But recently, these two weren’t just trending because of their impressive projects, but also because of accusations made against them.

Elmo and Paul are both alleged to have committed battering and hitting their respective girlfriends, namely Janella Salvador and Barbie Imperial.

Paul’s controversy came first as Barbie Imperial, his then partner, posted a series of photos on Instagram with the caption, “No to physical abuse. NEVER AGAIN.”

It included bruises on her body, as well as scratches.

On the other hand, Elmo Magalona is currently in the hot seat for allegedly beating his on-screen partner Janella Salvador. This was after Julia Barretto posted an Instagram Story that showed a big bruise on the actress’ arm.

Janella also posted a tweet about how men should never hurt women, which made netizens think that it was connected to the bruises that she had.

“I think everyone deserves someone who does not hurt them regardless if they’re drunk or not. Men who are raised properly are never supposed to hurt women no matter what. :)”

Adding to this, Janella’s mom also posted a photo on Instagram saying that there’s only one truth in every story.

Truth is always objective. Based on facts. It is never subjective. There is only one truth in every story. It remains consistent, steadfast & congruent with facts. Any deviation from that just becomes a mere opinion, which is formed by one’s perception of info plus personal judgement. #NOtophysicalviolence #NOtomenwhophysicallyabusewomen #justiceforjanella

Both young men have decided to stay mum regarding the allegations and people have been implying that their decision to keep quiet about the matter may affect their careers. It may result to the issue hounding them for a long time.

It can be noted that both actors have changed their home networks in the past, with Paul transferring from ABS-CBN to GMA 7, and Elmo from being a Kapuso to being a full-time Kapamilya.
