Actress-singer and television host Karla Estrada appealed to fans to stop bashing her son but did not elaborate in a post on Facebook this week.

“Panawagan sa lahat ng mga supporters ni Daniel Padilla or DJP, pakiusap lang po… No bashing tayo please (A call to all the supporters of Daniel Padilla or DJP, please… no bashing, please),” she wrote on Wednesday.

Estrada said that their family did not desire this kind of support for Padilla.

“We appreciate your support, but please, no bashing of others. Be proud of all DJP’s blessings. Respect the blessings of others. Let’s be happy with each other’s success,” she said.

More than 12,000 Facebook users have reacted to Estrada’s message as of posting time, with some agreeing with her.

“True! Let’s support them and be happy for both of them because they made us happy once too. It’s just disappointing that other fans comment or post negative things. Let’s share positivity and be happy with their achievements, blessings, or wherever they are now,” said one fan.

” The other side should do the same… I call out their fans who bash DJ… because of that, I have deeper respect for you, Ms. Karla… I hope the other side will do the same… for the peace of everyone… Stop the below-the-belt comments… Let’s all celebrate DJ’s success,” another fan wrote.

Estrada did not mention the reason behind her appeal although her son was had broken up with actress Kathryn Bernardo with whom he had an 11-year relationship.

Padilla and Bernardo confirmed on Nov. 30, 2023, that they had ended their relationship in separate Instagram posts.

Padilla, however, was the target of most of the rumors, which even included accusations that he was seeing someone else.
