Lara, Miriam advise Janine to take criticisms in stride

Precious Lara Quigaman and Miriam Quiambao feel for 2012 Miss Universe first runner-up Janine Tugonon whom netizens are  criticizing for allegedly treating ex-boyfriend Jaypee Santos unfairly by announcing that they have broken up on  national TV because of  The Script vocalist Danny O'Donoghue.

This has given rise to the  term "Na-Janine," a verb which refers to someone who has experienced a “candid and public” break-up.

Silence better?

Lara advised Janine to keep mum over the issue.

“Better not to say anything because the more she talks, the more it will be blown out of proportion,"  Lara said.

Miriam, herself a Miss Universe first runner-up, offered her sympathy to the beleaguered Janine.

"Ganun talaga sa showbiz. She should just put it in stride,"   Miriam said.

She added, "Of course hindi niya dinungisan ang karangalan ng Pinay beauty. Definitely not. May mga nangyayari talaga na ganyan na pag-uusapan."

Miriam, who has decided to focus in the corporate world and distance herself from hardcore showbiz, gave another piece of advice to the lady who duplicated her feat in 1999.

"Kung ano man ang papasukin niya, she should be wise. It's a plus to invest in business."

Miriam is a long-time supporter of World Vision while Lara is a spokesperson of  Anmum's Buntis Day, where a big gathering of pregnant women celebrated motherhood.
