Aiza Seguerra defends wife, stands up against cyberbullying
MANILA – “When it’s my wife, it is a totally different thing.
”
This was what singer-actor Aiza Seguerra said about bullies in social media targeting his wife Liza Diño. He also made a clear point: He won’t tolerate any form of bullying anymore.
“I think most of us na may asawa maintindihan nila. Ako tirahin nila, wala akong pakialam. When it comes to my wife, siguro do’n lang ang ‘di ko konakaya,” he added.
(I think most of us who are married will understand.
They can [bully] me, I don’t care. When it comes to my wife, I guess it’s that I can’t stand.)
The 32-year-old singer-actor shared a series of Instagram posts regarding the issue. First, a screenshot of the Facebook account of a certain Bryan Harris Richard who bullied his wife.
And another, a statement against bullying.
“I realized that if I don’t stand up and say something about it, parang hinahayaan ko na rin na magpatuloy ang ganito klaseng pambubully (it’s like I’m allowing this kind of bullying to continue),” he wrote.
Seguerra also called on his supporters and followers not to tolerate bullying.
“These people need to be held accountable sa kanilang mga aksyon at mga pananalita,” he continued. “Cyberbullying destroys people’s lives at kailangan natin labanan ito.”
(These people need to be held accountable for their actions and words… Cyberbullying destroys people’s lives and we need to fight it.)

In the end, the Kapamilya singer-actor reminded everyone that ‘freedom comes with responsibility and accountability.’
“If you don’t know how to be responsible and accountable [for] your actions, then I don’t think you deserve that freedom,” he said during a press conference.
