According to Jobert Sucaldito, You are wrong here. Unang-una, gusto namin ipaalala sa inyo lahat na mga fans ng JaDine, hindi kami ang may pakulo ng lahat ng ito. Wala kaming alam sa mga buhay ng mga idol ‘nyo. Sila ang gawa-gawa ng kuwento na ang mali namin pinatulan namin kaya medyo lumaki at pinag-uusapan.

He also added, “’Di ba iyon naman ang gusto nila? Kuno-kuno na may mga labas ng puwet, naka T-back pa doon sa building, tapos may mga nakalagay na caption na parang gustong tumalon sa building. Sana tumalon na lang kung ganun din naman pala (Isn’t that what they want? They show off their butts, wear T-backs, and put a caption about wanting to jump from a building. She should have jumped if that’s the case).”

#SuicideIsNotAJokeJobert trended on Twitter. Nadine denied all of the claims in Lo’s column and criticized him for “using someone’s mental situation/tragic past just to prove a point.”

Some celebrities defend Nadine Lustre.

From Dr. Gia Sison: Just a reminder that the Philippines already has RA 11036 known as the Mental Health Law which everyone should read or know about. Reminder too that suicide is NEVER a joke and that mental health should be taken seriously. Use your platforms wisely.

Bianca Gonzalez tweet, Making light of suicide and mental illness is not funny and should not be tolerated.
