Regine Velasquez Defends Son Nate From Internet Bashers

Bashing celebrities on Twitter seems to be the rage these days, with singer Regine Velasquez-Alcasid and her four-month old son Nate being the latest targets of so-called Internet "trolls."

Posting on Twitter at around 5:10 a.m. on March 14, Regine wrote, "Tinignan ko 'yung instagram ko kanina, may nag comment ng 'pangit mo' sa picture ni Nate sana para sa 'ken 'yun."

Instagram is an application exclusively for Apple touch screen products which allows its users to share photos, functioning like other photo sharing websites such as Twitpic and Yfrog.

The Songbird said that she's "okay" with the name-calling targeted toward her, "pero wag naman si Nate."

She then posted a series of tweets further expressing her sentiments:

"Kung pangit ang paningin n'yo sa kanya ok lang din 'yun pero sana 'wag n'yo na ilathala pa.

"Alam n'yo marami nanaman ang namimintas sa 'kin Hindi ako pumapatol kaya lang no'ng si Nate na parang ang hirap naman palampasin.

"Bilang nanay syempre proud ako picture picturan yung anak ko feeling ko ang gwapo syempre anak ko eh."

After, she apologized to her followers for expressing her "sama ng loob" and left a message to the commenter, which read, "God Bless pa 'ren sa'yo sana maging masaya ka sa buhay mo. 'Yun lang;-)"

Moments after, Regine thanked her followers for their kind words and advice for her to just ignore the comment.

"Hindi naman talaga ako pumapatol eh hindi 'ren kasi ako marunong pumatol, kaya Lang si Nate kasi, I guess kasalanan ko 'ren nilabas ko 'yung pictures n'ya. Hay Gaya nga ng sinabi ko God Bless at sana masaya s'ya:-)" she posted.

Among those who consoled her were her friend and fellow diva Jaya and songwriter-composer Raul Mitra.

"mare marami man ang mamintas sa'yo at sa ginagawa mo, marami parin ang nagmamahal sa'yo at inggit sa'yo. 'Wag ka papatol.

"jst remember how blessed u are with everything esp u have Nate, eh sila anong sitwasyon meron? God Bless na nga lang talaga," Jaya tweeted.

For his part, Raul said, "momming mommy ka na Reg! :) Dati maski anong tira sa 'yo, let it go Now isang tira kay Nate, laban! Welcome fellow parent! :)"

Regine's latest tweet relating to the incident, posted at 7:26 a.m., on the same day read, "Mga friends ok na, super ok na ko thank you sa inyong lahat. At least ngayon alam ko ng marunong pala akong lumaban basta para sa family ko."
