While her name trended alongside Maris Racal due to their similar names, Mariz Umali took a measured stance, calling for understanding and empathy for those involved.
“Di ko akalaing mag-te-trend ako alongside Maris. Pero seriously I hope we can also give them a break. Masakit pinagdaraanan nila and though Filipinos love humor, naniniwala ako na Filipinos also are sensitive enough to give them peace,” Mariz said.
“Kaugnay sa nangyaring kontrobersya, ipagdasal na lang natin sila. Walang may gusto na malagay sa ganung kontrobersya, sakit at kahihiyan kaya let's pray for their peace of mind and the ability to rise from this painful situation,” she added.
The controversy continues to spark discussions online, but Mariz’s message stands as a reminder to handle sensitive issues with care.
