In his message, Kyle expressed that while he intended to stay quiet during the holiday season, he could not allow his family to be disrespected. He emphasized that his love for his sister Bella was unquestionable and criticized those who were using the incident to attack him and his family. “Say all u want/think about me bahala na kayo diyan. Pero wag na wag mong idamay yung pamilya ko lalo na yung kapatid kong anghel na si Bella,” Kyle said. He further urged people to focus on the positive aspects of the holiday season rather than spreading negativity.

He explained that he did not mind criticisms aimed at him, but he could not let anyone insult his family. As the holiday season was meant for joy, he encouraged others to end the year on a positive note.
