Actress and content creator Chie Filomeno made news after sharing a lengthy and heartfelt statement on her Instagram story to address her mental health.

Filomeno stated that recent issues have been emotionally draining for her and her loved ones.

“I tried; I really did. I’m sorry, tao lang din ako. Masasaktan, mapupuno, at minsan sasabog. What she did was too much. I saw the effect it had on my family… Holding in that much information while hurting is destructive — it took a huge toll on me and my family’s mental health,”

she wrote.

Filomeno explained that she had been trying to maintain her calm, but certain actions had frequently disrupted it.

“I was at peace, really was, but she would always do something to take that away…” She went on to express that her message was not meant to cause harm, but to emphasize empathy and mental health awareness.

“I just wish that whatever she’s doing now never happens to her own kid or to anyone’s kid in the future. Because this is so painful and I don’t ever wish for anyone to feel this kind of pain.”

In the latter part of her post, Filomeno name-dropped Sofia Andres, expressing frustration over what she described as an ongoing negativity toward her.

“As much as I want to do this with grace, sometimes they need a taste of their own medicine. But what you’re doing now is cruel, Sofia — imagine years of throwing hate on someone? That’s crossing the line. I’ll never get tired of standing up for myself and the people I love because I know we did nothing wrong,” Filomeno said.

The post prompted Internet discourse, with followers and netizens offering their thoughts on the matter. 

Many people complimented Filomeno for speaking her truth and highlighting the necessity of emotional boundaries, accountability and self-respect.

As of this writing, neither Chie Filomeno nor Sofia Andres has provided any further statements in response to the viral post. Filomeno also shared earlier this week that Andres supposedly blocked her on Instagram, implying a deeper estrangement. 

Fans are waiting to see whether the actresses will address the issue publicly or choose to settle matters privately.
