Chie Filomeno shared her statement on the ongoing personal attacks against her and hateful comments and rumors on her recent &quot;split&quot; with actor Jake Cuenca. “Since I started in the entertainment industry, I’ve always known that being in the public eye means being open to judgment — both online and offline. Pero gaya ng lagi kong sinasabi: I am a public figure, but I am not public property. I want to repeat that, kasi lately, my name and reputation have been questioned again because of recent issues.”“Right now, my only goal is to set things straight.” she said. “This will be the last time na magsasalita ako about this issue, and I’m choosing to respond with calm, care, and clarity. So, let me clear the air, again.”Past few weeks, Chie has been uploading a series of cryptic messages, screenshots of conversations and messages, alluding to an attack or organized hate campaign against her. Allegedly, some influencers or content creators have been contacted to throw hate against Chie.  <div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/10/18/chie-filomeno-hints-at-reason-behind-breakup-calls-out-friend-s-betrayal-0826">Chie Filomeno hints at reason behind breakup, calls out friend’s betrayal </a> </div>In all these IG stories, a certain &quot;Sofia&quot; has been mentioned a couple of times. But it was never mentioned who exactly or specifically is this ‘Sofia’, Chie was referring to.  In her statement, Chie emphasized the value of work that she has put into her craft for years. Starting out as a cosplayer and eventually crossing into mainstream projects as an actor, dancer and social media influencer. She said it pains her to see other people come up with nasty rumors against her. “My story began in our humble home in Kamuning. I started cosplaying and doing commercial modeling at the age of 11 to earn my own allowance, and eventually found my way into acting, performing, and becoming a social media influencer,” she said. “By the time I was 15, I had officially become the sole provider for my family. These careers allowed me to express my creativity while supporting the people I love. I’ve been our family’s breadwinner ever since—and that’s something I’ve always taken to heart. Kaya masakit para sa akin at sa pamilya ko kapag may mga kwentong walang basehan na pinapalabas na kung anu-ano.”Chie did not expound what were the baseless rumors against her, but she stressed: “Wala po itong katotohanan. Marangal po akong nagtatrabaho para sa mga minamahal ko. It’s unfair for me to be judged like this—especially as someone who has worked hard just to make her loved ones proud. Anyone who has carried that kind of responsibility will understand how heavy it can be.”At this point, she said she is focused on work on all fronts. <div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/10/19/chie-filomeno-reveals-cryptic-messages-on-instagram-add-hints-on-feud-with-sofia-1336">Chie Filomeno reveals cryptic messages on Instagram, add hints on feud with ‘Sofia’ </a> </div>“I’ll always be grateful to all the brands, designers, partners, and supporters who continue to trust and believe in me. Every collaboration and opportunity reminds me that hard work and integrity will always matter more than noise. These are values I’ll always hold on to,” said Chie.As for her split up with Jake Cuenca, Chie said: “When it comes to my personal life — my previous relationship was public, and I’m thankful for that chapter.”“But now, I’ve found new connections and safe spaces that I want to protect from unnecessary attention. This time, I’m choosing peace and privacy. And when the time comes, you’ll see what love looks like when it’s nurtured quietly.”She ends the statement: “For now, this is what I can share — my truth, my story, my peace. I hope I won’t have to explain myself again.” <div> </div><div>FULL STATEMENT OF CHIE FILOMENO</div>&quot;Since I started in the entertainment industry, I’ve always known that being in the public eye means being open to judgment — both online and offline.
