MANILA – Maxene Magalona threw her support behind her brother Elmo Magalona, who got embroiled in a controversy late last year after his breakup with Janella Salvador.

In October, Salvador accused Elmo of physically hurting her.

"Sabi ko nga kay Elmo, ito 'yung sinasabi ng dad namin sa amin dati na hindi tayo nagkaiba sa mga normal na tao. Just because lumalabas tayo sa TV, hindi ibig sabihin na hindi natin mae-experience normal problems na nae-experience every day. Sabi ko sa kanya, it's a chance for him to grow as a person,” Maxene said in an interview with PEP.

Nonetheless, Maxene is proud of how her brother is handling everything that comes his way.

“Mas naging close siya kay God these past few years and nakakatuwa na makita ang growth niya as a man. Of course, siyempre bilang ate, pinagsasabihan ko din ang mga kapatid ko, ipinapakita ko sa kanila. Kasi, sino ba naman ako para mag-judge?” she said.

No matter what happens, Maxene said she and Elmo are family.

“At the end of the day, we have to be there for our family and, at the same time, 'yung growth nila, 'yun ang i-support and encourage and be positive sa kanila. Kasi 'yun naman ang mahalaga,” she said.

“Hindi tayo perfect, but if we can all live together and be kind to each other, support each other, mas magiging maganda ang mundo natin,” she added.

When asked how Elmo is currently doing, Maxene said he is okay but he doesn’t want to speak for her brother.

“Basta ako, ate niya ako, I love him and I support him, and 'pag kailangan niya ako, nandito ako para sa kanya,” she said.

And as for Salvador, Maxene only had this to say: "Ayaw kong mag-ano. Basta everyone happy. Be kind.”
