Talent manager Annabelle Rama couldn’t hide her happiness after she realized that veteran columnist Cristy Fermin defended her.

In her Facebook post, Annabelle narrated her initial reaction when she heard that Cristy was defending her and Richard Gutierrez from critics.

At first, she was unconvinced that the veteran columnist was really defending her due to their bitter past.

“Pag gising ko kaninang umaga maraming text ako natanggap at mga missed calls from my friends na tunay na nakaka kilala at nag mamahal sa akin. At sabi nila ay may maganda daw silang nabasa sa facebook na sinulat ng number one kong kalaban at pinagtatanggol ako this time. Di ako naniwala at baka kako fake news na naman at ginamit lang ang pangalan niya,” she said.

“Nang kumakain na kami, sinabi ng anak ko, na maganda raw ang sinulat ng nasabing reporter at ipinagtanggol ako, kako baka fake, kaya pina check ko sa PR ng Gutierrez family at na confirmed nga niya na legit iyon account at siya nga mismo ang sumulat,” she added.

According to Annabelle, she even criticized Cristy last year after the latter talked negatively about Jinky Pacquiao, who was a close friend of the Gutierrez family.

“This time lumambot ang puso ko sa kanya, dahil nanay rin siya at may mga anak rin at alam nya na tama ang ginagawa ko sa pag kampi ko sa anak ko, kaya nya ako naintindihan,” she stated.

“I am sorry kung ano mang di magandang mga text na nasabi ko sa iyo. At tinawagan ko sya at nag kausap kami at nag pasalamat ako. At sabi pa nga nya regards kay tito Eddie. Tamang tama na magkatabi kami ni Eddie sa upuan, at ipinasa ko kay Eddie ang telepono at nag usap sila. Nang mag ba-bye sya kay Eddie, sabi nya Tito Eddie, mag pa galing ka, inagaw ko ang telepono at sabi ko , malakas na malakas ang asawa ko,” she added.

It can be recalled that Annabelle and Cristy faced each other at the Supreme Court after the talent manager filed charges against the latter.

The case was related to the article written by Fermin in 1995, which claimed that the Gutierrez couple pocketed the proceeds from the sale of a company.

The court ordered Fermin to pay P1-M and P6,000 fines to the couple.
