Marami ang naantig sa open letter ni Miel Pangilinan para sa kanyang kapatid na si Frankie Pangilinan.
Hinangaan ng mga netizens ang uri ng pagmamahal ni Miel sa kanyang kapatid.
Ayon sa pagbabahagi ni Miel, bata pa lamang umano sila ni Frankie ay magkasama na sila palagi maging sa kanilang pagtulog.
Noong lumaki na sila ay magkaiba na umano sila ng kwarto dahil dito namimiss na niya ang dati nilang set up ng kapatid.
"when i was younger, we lived in the same rooms for years. never more than about six feet apart. i would leave the bathroom door open to let a dim light through. i feared the dark, and much more so the ghosts that lurked within it.
"you once shut the bathroom door. i cried. a lot.
"you kept the bathroom door open every night after that.
"after we moved and started living in separate rooms, we didn’t talk much. you lived your life, and i lived mine. i slept with the night light on every night.
"and then you graduated from high school, and suddenly we were both sat at the dining table one night, a single dim hallway light i’d switched on illuminating the room. you were making a call to your college housing department.
"i cried again. not because of ghosts, but because of what i’d do with them without you. that night it became clear to me that i’d obviously come to care about you more than i thought i did, because i cried and cried and cried enough for my soul to be washed out with my tears.
"i could draw a million portraits, inject every ounce of my soul and being into paintstrokes and still be unable to fully express just how much i care for you, admire you. once the shores call my name, each step; each wade, will cause ripples so wide and waves so strong that it will reverberate across the borders of otherwhere. i will be carrying my love for you across with me.
"no tiger would roar without your permission. no sea will swallow me unless you willed it to. no ghosts will hide in the darkness anymore, lest you choke them out with your own two hands to ensure i’d sleep soundly. i would willingly enter the sea of spirits and face its monsters if it meant i were keeping you safe. i am because you are. and i am eternally thankful for you."
Nagkomento naman ang kanilang ina na si Sharon Cuneta kung saan ipinahayag niya kung gaano siya kasaya sa pagmamahalan ng kanyang mga anak.
Maging ang ilang mga artista ay napakomento rin sa open letter ni Miel.
the universe made it so our two souls were bound to each other one way or another. i hope that in every lifetime, it’s you and i against the world. and i would still love you, even if we were worms.
