Actor Derek Ramsay said that his longtime girlfriend, actress Angelica Panganiban, deserves an apology from a detractor who hurled offensive words against the actress.
Panganiban was criticized after she expressed her opinion on Azkals striker Phil Younghusband's plan to star in an indie film.
According to Panganiban, it would be better if Younghusband will first devote his time to football before pursuing an acting career.
Her opinion triggered a war on Twitter between her and a fan of Younghusband.
Aside from badmouthing the actress, the fan also made tirades against her boyfriend, Ramsay.
In an interview with "Showbiz News Ngayon", Ramsay defended his sweetheart.
"'Yung mga nasabi sa akin, I don't really care. Pero 'yung mga nasabi towards Angel was a bit off," Ramsay said.
The actor believes that Panganiban did not say anything wrong against the football player.
"You know what, the thing is, she understands the game. I know a lot of the fans that watch don't understand the game. So hindi naman OA ang sinabi ni Angel. I don't know why lumaki ang isyu," he said.
Ramsay also bared that they already traced the fan who posted offensive tweets against Panganiban.
"Oo na-trace na yata nila kasi mayroon daw yatang common friend. So, na-trace din the same day. I think he should definitely give Angel an apology. I think she deserves it. She didn't hurt or say anything bad," he said.
After the controversy, Ramsay stressed that he harbors no ill-feelings toward the striker.
He also hopes that everything will turn out OK soon.
"Let's say this. There was never an issue between Angel, myself and the Azkals. The issue here was how somebody reacted to someone with an innocent opinion," he said.
He also praised Younghusband for understanding Panganiban's opinion.
"It's so nice of him to understand what Angel was saying. At least he sees that Angel was trying to help. Sometimes you take constructive criticisms. It's nice to see that he is not reacting like how his fans are reacting," Ramsay said.
