MANILA — Following the controversial Dubsmash video, which was criticized by some netizens, Melai Cantiveros defended her friend, Angelica Panganiban.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Wag nilang gawing big issue na lang, it\u2019s for fun lang naman e. Wala naman ibig sabihin \u2018yon,<\/em>\u201d Melai said in an interview on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

(They should not make a big deal out of it. It’s just for fun. There’s no meaning.)<\/p>\n

Angelica’s Bubsmash video, aired on ABS-CBN’s gag show, “Banana Split,” earned the ire of a number of netizens.<\/p>\n

The actress lip-synched a famous line from the 1985 film Bituing Walang Ningning which goes “You\u2019re nothing but a second rate, trying hard, copycat!”<\/p>\n

Angelica was holding Marian Rivera’s photo during the first part of the video then a photo \u00a0of Heart Evangelista during the part when she said the word “copycat.”<\/p>\n

Melai said she was hurt hearing the negative comments about her friend, but defended her saying the bashers just don’t know Angelica’s real personality.<\/p>\n

\u201cSiyempre \u2018yong nam-bash di nila talaga kilala [si Angelica]. Hindi naman natin ma-blame, pero kilalanin muna sana nila bago i-bash,<\/em>\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

(The bashers don’t know her so we can’t blame them right away. But they should know her first before they criticize her.)<\/p>\n
