Reading your own hate comments out loud on national TV takes guts. Reading them and then clapping back, camera rolling? That is a whole different level, and Fyang Smith did exactly that.

The comments ranged from calling her "squammy," which is basically slang for classless, to calling her behavior "basura," to piling on with "bobita, talentless, at magaspang." Not exactly gentle stuff to read out loud in front of a live studio audience.
How did Fyang answer them?
She started sweet, then let loose. To the "squammy" comment, she explained herself first:
I think I'm just being expressive if ano 'yung gusto kong sabihin.
Then came the unfiltered version:
At least mahal ako ng katabi ko. Ikaw, mahal ka ba?
Translation: at least the person beside me loves me, does anyone love you? Sabog. On the "talentless" comment, she was quick to defend her skills too, pointing out that she can dance and that she has an album out, so clearly someone believed in her talent enough to invest in it.
Was JM Ibarra there to back her up?
Yes, her former PBB housemate and loveteam partner JM Ibarra was right beside her through the whole segment, playing along and keeping the energy light even when the comments got personal. Their easy dynamic is a big part of why fans enjoy watching them together.
Does Fyang regret being "maldita" to bashers?
Not really. She was upfront that she can turn maldita specifically toward people who criticize her, and she does not see anything wrong with that.
Sometimes I can be maldita, pero yun namang mga taong ganon, deserve nilang makita yun.
Why this segment hit different
Most of us just screenshot the mean comments and cry about it in the group chat. Fyang read hers out loud on TV and turned it into content. There is something oddly satisfying about watching someone take the sting out of online hate by owning it instead of hiding from it.
