That&#x27;s just me. So, when I see something like that, like a criticism, I listen to it. In a way na, okay, is this true? Is this objectively true? How can I take it in?” he expressed.</p><p>Joaquin also shared how grateful he is for his supporters who stand by him and defend him against such comments.</p><p>“May mga nang-de-defend naman sa akin, so it&#x27;s like, ‘Oh no, he&#x27;s not like that’ which I also am grateful for kasi tama din sila. So, if you look at it from both sides, it&#x27;s really, you know, kind of agreeable. You&#x27;d understand both sides,” he said.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DV2pAhWDh1-/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A8150492.699999988%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="612" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Meanwhile, the young actor also expressed how overwhelming it was to see his supporters show up and celebrate with him at his thanksgiving party.</p><p>“Nakaka-overwhelm talaga. I really didn&#x27;t expect this. Wala akong inasahan na ganito. Kaya sobrang nagpapasalamat ako sa kanila at sa lahat ng beses na ipinagtanggol nila ako at sa lahat ng mga dinala nila para sa akin, talagang nagpapasalamat ako sa kanila,” he mentioned.</p><p>He also admitted that he was surprised by the large turnout.</p><p>“Sinabi sa akin na may fan event ako today. Hindi nila sinabi kung ilang tao na pupunta or kung sino yung pupunta. So, parang in-assume ko na parang konti lang, o siguro yung mga (malapit lang na) kayang pumunta dito. Pero pag baba ko sa kotse, grabe ang sobrang daming tao. Tapos may mga stalls sa labas na hinanda nila. It&#x27;s crazy,” he said.</p>
