Kevin Dasom claps back at rude comment on Herlene Budol's post

Kevin Dasom is protective of Herlene Budol.

In the latest episode of "TRGGRD!" Herlene shared that Kevin defended her from a social media user who left a rude comment on her swimsuit photo.

"'Tas meron dun parang, ang bastos talaga nung comment," the actress and beauty queen said.

Seeing that the man was bald, Kevin replied to the comment, "Kalbo."

"Sa dami nung sinabi ng manyak na 'yun, 'kalbo' lang 'yung sinabi niya. Ang dami nang nag-react," Herlene said.

"Na-appreciate ko, parang nagkaroon ako ng protector," she added.

Kevin said he wanted to say more, but he stopped himself.

Aside from Kevin, Herlene said that Kuya Kim Atienza and Jayson Gainza also protect her from harmful comments online.

"Tumaas 'yung standard ko dahil sa kanila," she said.

Kevin revealed on "The Boobay and Tekla Show" in 2025 that he is courting Herlene and said "I love you" to her in the episode. He also said he is courting Herlene's family and friends.

Herlene has already met Kevin's family in Thailand.

She and Kevin starred together in the GMA Afternoon Prime series "Binibining Marikit." —Nika Roque/MGP, GMA News
