Sheena Palad defends substitution for Eva Darren at FAMAS

Sheena Palad addressed the reason for her substitution of veteran actress Eva Darren at the recently concluded Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences (FAMAS) Awards, clarifying that she was simply following instructions given by the organizers.

Donita Rose extended support to Sheena on social media after Sheena received backlash for presenting an award alongside Tirso Cruz III instead of Darren.

Rose publicly defended Sheena, expressing solidarity as a family member and reminding her of the love and support surrounding her.

FAMAS organizers apologized to Darren and her family for not being able to locate the actress during the ceremony, while Eva's son Fernando de la Pena accepted the apology but advised better preparation and organization in future events.

Sheena's brother Felson Palad also expressed his unwavering support for his sister, emphasizing her resilience and faith.
