Thousands of netizens have rushed in Leni's defense, what with BBM's pompom girl Melinda Barlis immature and feckless comment, " Yeah I get it.  Gagraduate ang anak, but the point is need pa bang picturan?"  

Was Melinda simply trolling or did she just totally miss the point in a proud parent’s need to get a photo with her graduating daughter? Netizens have many suspicions, but their sidesplitting responses certainly are the ones that you need to focus on, right now. Here is a sampling of those comments:

-M.A. Buendia:  Maritess is out ... Melinda is in.

-MJ Garringo: Oo nga naman, bakit hindi na lang video? Minsan kailangan ng bobo sa lipunan para balance.

-Voltaire Zalamea: So much hatred or should I say STUPIDITY among these blind followers. Hindi ko alam kung itong Melinda Barlis na ito eh di naaruga ng ina o sadyang hindi masaya sa buhay niya. Her daughter for sure hiyanghiya sa post ng ina niya. Yong aso ko nga ang daming pictures na post ko eh yong anak pa kaya na gagraduate at sa New York pa man din.

-Desiree de la Merced Villanueva - This was a brainless comment.  Of course ga-graduate ang anak kaya need picturan. My daughter will be graduating high school in US and for sure marami akong pictures na i-shoot. Anak ko yun Melinda Barlis.

-Thomas Albano - Anong point mo din po para kunan ng picture ang graduation ng anak mo. Explain please dahil nagdeactivate ka dito sa Facebook, sa Instagram kita babanatan.

-Nerissa Gamba Malicon - Naku Melinda Barlis sa graduation ko magpafiesta ako. At hindi lang picture magpavideo pa. Kasi ang tagal kong hinintay ang graduation na ito.

-Bayan Ni Juan:  Napadaan ka lang sa tulay, bakit kailangan picturan. Sagot Melinda Barlis.

Another user, @Finding Doro used the Melinda Barlis controversy to caption the result of his working out, " Yeah I get it. May abs ka na, but the point is kailangan pa bang picturan?

Quite funny huh ... but that was smart of him!
