Amid this controversy with Tony Labrusca issue, columnist Ed de Leon of Pang-Masa stated in his article that the actor “umagaw ng trabaho ng Pinoy artists”.
De Leon cited on his article the saying, “ignorance of the law excuses no one”.
He stressed out that the actor should have had the initiative to know about the law in the Philippines.
For the columnist, the fact that a person is a celebrity or he is famous and well-loved by many fans does not give an excuse not to be aware of the law.

He also said that somehow what happened in the Tony Labrusca issue in immigration brought a positive thing.
It is now known to many that the young actor is here in the country with just a tourist visa and not a working visa.
Wala palang working permit iyan, bakit pa natin pinapayagang umagaw pa ng trabaho sa mga artistang lehitimong Pilipino?” de Leon pointed out.
However, in his article, he commended that no one from the Kapamilya network tried to defend the Tony Labrusca.
