G TONGI CALLED "LAOS" AND "PREACHY" BY PACQUIAO SUPPORTER
Noong Linggo, Hulyo 20, ipinaliwanag ni G ang panig nito tungkol sa kanyang kontrobersiyal na Facebook post laban sa Pambansang Kamao.
Kalakip nito ang mensaheng natanggap ni G mula sa isang taong hindi niya pinangalanan at tagasuporta ni Pacquiao.
Tinawag siya nitong "laos," "preachy," at “nagpapaka-relevant.”
Buong mensahe ng netizen laban kay G: “Is this your way of trying to stay relevant, when clearly you are a has-been? A laos. A person clinging to the last vestiges of a tiny sliver of fame and trying to slip into the Filipino consciousness.
“Pacquiao may have uttered words, inspired from his belief of the bible, but at least he time and time again have given pride, and momentary respite for the Filipino everyman. What have you been doing in your 47 year existence so far, Ms Walters?
“Preachy much? Just hassle and bustle madam, alam naming mahirap buhay jan sa Tate with your double jobs and high cost of living and medicare.”

G TONGI REVEALS FIRST CHILD IS A MEMBER OF THE LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY
Ang mga personal na pag-atake sa kanyang pagkatao ang nag-udyok kay G para ipaliwanag ang panig nito sa pamamagitan muli ng Facebook.
Saad ni G: “I’ve never sought relevance for its own sake.
"My work, whether in community spaces, storytelling, or raising a family is rooted in purpose, not popularity. I may wear many hats, but I wear them with pride, because every role reflects my commitment to serving others.
“Yes, I work hard. Like many of us in the diaspora, I juggle multiple responsibilities not out of desperation, but out of devotion.
"I work for myself, I own my home, and I’m raising children who are thriving and both off to college soon. There is no shame in hustle when it is guided by heart."
Kasunod nito ay ipinaliwanag ni G kung bakit malapit sa puso niya at malaki ang pagpapahalaga niya sa nabanggit na pamayanan ang LGBTQIA + community.
Ipinagtapat niya na ang kanyang panganay na anak ay kabilang sa komunidad na ito.
Saad ni G: “But let me be clear about one thing: anyone who insults or diminishes the LGBTQ+ community will always face my voice, my resistance, and yes—my wrath.
“Not only because I have friends, mentors, and loved ones I hold dear in that community, but because my own eldest child is part of it. To defend them is not just personal, it is moral. It is right.
“To stand up against harm is not being 'preachy.' It is being human.
“I don’t need to cling to a sliver of fame when I stand on the foundation of purpose. I will always choose compassion over complacency, and I’ll speak even when it’s inconvenient because silence has never changed the world.
“May we all live lives we’re proud of, guided not by applause but by principle.
“For those wondering where this post is coming from, it’s in response to this comment below from someone not notable to mention but in response to my question on if people forgot what a certain boxer said against gay people and my questioning why Filipinos have amnesia.”
