MANILA – Clara Ramos, mother of actress Rhian Ramos, questioned the Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) for backing an individual she described as a “lying thief,” saying their actions have worsened online harassment against her daughter.

“I don’t understand VACC’s support for a lying thief. Nagpa-interview pa left and right, dishing out unverified information,” Ramos wrote on Instagram.

She added that the organization’s actions “have helped fuel this social media frenzy, leaving the ones stolen from and betrayed to be victimized even more by depraved imaginations with stories morphing like cancer.”

“Watching the internet tear my daughter apart for things she didn’t do. She doesn’t deserve this. Sure, through the years we know bashers will bash, but this? This is brutal, and whoever’s running this show is sick!” she said.

Ramos also warned that “to expose such crime without proper complaint in place is a criminal offense,” and called for accountability for those she described as acting unprofessionally to gain fame at the expense of public figures.

“This maligned acts to stain the character and the reputation of our celebrities must put to justice for their unprofessional behaviors just to gain fame from our hardworking achievers who are public figures!” she said.
