Director Irene Villamor recently came to the defense of actress Nadine Lustre after a basher called her “flop queen” online. Following the success of “Sid and Aya: Not a Love Story,” which saw Anne Curtis and Dingdong Dantes together on the big screen, Villamor is now working on her next film, “Ulan,” which stars Carlo Aquino and Lustre.

Aquino took to his Instagram recently and shared a photo of him and Lustre shooting a scene for the movie. In Aquino’s post yesterday, Oct. 15, he and Lustre are seen standing in the rain in what looked like a jeepney stop in the University of the  Philippines Diliman campus in Quezon City.

“Munting palaruan noong aking kabataan,” Aquino wrote on his caption.

Many fans expressed their support for Aquino and Lustre, with his post garnering tens of thousands of likes since the time of posting. One netizen, however, only had something spiteful to say, as he or she took to Aquino’s comments’ section to brand Lustre as a “flop queen.”
