(expletive) wala ka silbi.&quot;Responding to the comment, Gonzaga wrote: &quot;so much hate in your heart. I hope the lockdown will make u reflect on how you speak to others. I NEVER broadcast the help we give. I don&#x27;t need your validation and praise for it. Some people can work and help in silence. Respect that. Not everything is publicized like how u want it. &quot;After washing your hands today wash your mouth also. It badly needs it,&quot; she added, with a winking emoji.While Gonzaga has largely kept silent on social media during the community quarantine, she has taken part in public service programs of ABS-CBN, including the network&#x27;s &quot;Pantawid ng Pag-Ibig&quot; fundraiser and &quot;Ligtas Pilipinas&quot; campaign.
