The success of "I Love You Since 1892," the highly anticipated Wattpad adaptation, is undeniable. But with this success comes a growing number of critics and bashers, particularly concerning the casting. In an exclusive interview, the three main actors—Heaven Peralejo, Jerome Ponce, and Joseph Marco—bravely addressed the issue and delivered a clear message: "Hindi kami papatinag (We won't be shaken)."

It's no secret that being a lead in a popular story brings immense pressure, especially from social media. From their acting and personal lives to their physical appearance, some netizens spare no criticism, often in favor of the original "portrayers" of the characters. But instead of giving in to the negativity, the trio chose to take a stand and become a voice of resilience.
"It's difficult, yes," admitted Heaven Peralejo, who plays Carmela and Carmelita. "But it's more important for us to focus on our work and the people who support us. The love from our fans is stronger than the noise from the bashers."
A Message of Gratitude and Hope
Despite the criticism, the stars didn't forget to thank their loyal supporters. "To all our solid supporters, thank you so much," said Jerome Ponce, who plays Juanito. "You are our strength. Every time we read your comments and messages, we feel your love and inspiration."
They also didn't miss the chance to send a message to their critics. "We understand that everyone has their own opinion," added Joseph Marco, who plays Leandro. "But we hope that we can all be kinder to each other. We don't know what a person is going through. It would be better if we just focused on the positive."
The Resilience of the 'I Love You Since 1892' Family
Above all, the three showed their unity. "We are not alone," they stated. "We are facing this together. We help each other, talk to each other, and give each other strength. The entire cast and production team are like family. And when you're a family, you protect each other."
Their courageous statement serves as an inspiration not only to their fans but also to anyone experiencing online harassment. It shows that true strength doesn't come from tearing others down, but from standing firm for yourself and the people you love.
