Just this February, Erich Gonzales deleted all of her photos with Daniel Matsunaga, which has started the rumors of their split. The two ex-lovers later confirmed their breakup which drew many speculations from the public. Both parties denied that the breakup was about money issues or a third-party.
Daniel Matsunaga, in a statement, denied the rumors regarding their breakup and said that he’s friends with ex-girlfriend, Erich. However, Erich Gonzales countered Matsunaga’s statements saying that she’s not in good terms with him. Regarding the money issue, the actress chose to keep her silence which even sparked the rumors and force Daniel Matsunaga’s sister, Vanessa, to speak out.
Vanessa To Erich Gonzales, ‘Address the money issue’
On Feb. 12, Vanessa Matsunaga commented on Erich Gonzales’ Instagram post saying that the actress should address the money issue because their family is being affected by wrongful accusations. Moments later, Erich Gonzales deactivated her comments section on her account.
Meanwhile, PEP was able to screenshot Vanessa’s comment before Erich turned her comments off. As stated by Vanessa, despite his brother’s instruction to keep their silence regarding the issue, she couldn’t just ignore the speculations because her privacy was being invaded by the public who keeps on asking if their family owes Erich an amount of money.
Vanessa added that the actress should have addressed the money issue to stop the growing speculations. Daniel’s sister emphasizes that she knows that it was a difficult time for Erich to talk about her split with his brother. She even stated that the two ex-lovers don’t owe anyone an explanation but she was sad that their family is being dragged down by wrongful accusations.
In the latter parts of Vanessa’s statement, she apologized because she needed to give her comments on social media. She also stated that their family respects Erich’s choice to delete photos and to unfollow them. Vanessa on ending her statement once more asked the actress to address the money issue because people are calling their family ‘users’ which is not true.
Vanessa Answers a Netizen On Instagram
Aside from Vanessa’s comment to Erich’s post, she also replied to a netizen who accuses their family of having interests on the actress’ money. “Well, we don’t need Erich’s money. Her family needs her support. I’m sure you understand that very well,” Vanessa replied. “ Daniel has integrity and he has worked hard for everything he has ever since he was 16 years old,” she added.
Vanessa also addressed the issue that Daniel’s family took advantage of Erich. She said, “We are in a better position, so much so that we choose to help others. I hope that answers your question and helps you judge things better (although I strongly advise you not to do so…)” and further quotes a verse in the Bible.
Erich responds to Vanessa, ‘I will tell all’
Despite Erich’s earlier statements to just focus on moving on from her breakup with Daniel Matsunaga, the actress chose to break her silence again right after Vanessa Matsunaga’s statements on one of her Instagram posts which have heated more the issue.
Erich said that she just wants to ignore the issue but it was them who keeps on mentioning about it. She also said that social media is not a proper venue for it. In a report by ABS-CBN, Erich gave a brief statement in response to Daniel’s sister and said that she was not as rich as her husband but poor people are also being taken advantage of. Erich ended her statement saying that if they want her to speak up, she will and she’ll tell all.
