“Lahat po kasi ng binabasa ko yung mga magaganda, eh. Kapag nakikita ko yung mga comments na, 'Ay, parang hindi masyado pumatak yung luha niya doon,’ yung mga ganun. Eh di next time talagang papapatakin ko na yung luha ko nang todo-todo!,” Xian said at the press conference for his new endorsement, Unli-Facebook for Globe Telecoms, at Mario’s Restaurant in Quezon City on Friday, March 23.
Improving on his craft
Xian, who regularly replies to fans and shares photos in social networking sites, said he hasn’t received very personal online attacks yet, but he knows how to handle them. Xian sees negative comments about his acting as a way of improving on his craft.
“Hindi naman ako magwawala. Sa mga negative comments, I really don’t pay attention. For me, babasahin ko siya, it’s a good room for improvement kapag in-analyze mo nang konti, na ‘bakit nga kaya nasabi niya iyon? Pero for me, I don’t reply. Hindi ko sila ini-entertain,” he goes on.
He also tries his best to reply to as many fans as possible as his way of showing gratitude for their support.
“Ang laging isipin nila, there’s one basher and there are hundred thousands more who want to listen to positive things na you want to say. So one versus hundred thousands, pipiliin mo lang ‘yung gustong marinig ang positive galing sa iyo.”
Will he ever retort to baseless negative comments?
“No. Of course not, of course not. Kasi that's their opinion eh. May right naman silang magsabi ng ganoon. But I'm not going to entertain it. Feel free to say anything you want. It's your own opinion,” he replied.
Online etiquette
Xian thinks social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook are very helpful, especially when communicating and updating his supporters.
"Ako masasabi ko sobrang importante. It plays a huge factor in promoting shows, pagpo-promote ng mga mall shows. It's also a good way to communicate with the fans, kung may gusto ba silang sabihin sa iyo, kung meron ba silang gustong iparating sa iyo,” he said.
Xian shared that it is always best to practice online etiquette and be responsible for what you say online.
“Especially for actors, maraming followers, maraming nakaka-relate na tao, nakaka-inspire kayo ng maraming tao, nakakapagpasaya ng maraming tao. We really have to be careful kasi we might offend other people. Just take it. You just have to worry about the people who love you.”
