“Humingi kami ng statement galing kay Pastor Nixon Ng of Victory Church sa Pasay. Bahagi ng kanyang statement ay sinasabi niyang, he has that belief of Alvin about the LGBT Community and the role of the father and the husband in the family is not different from the belief of other Christians,” Boy shared.
Boy then continued to read the statement from the pastor who claimed that most Christians who are in their early stages of faith, are “overly passionate and excited” when it comes to their belief which is why the public should give Alvin some understanding.
“But he believes Christians should share their conviction with compassion. Conviction and compassion must always come together. Naniniwala din siya that the public should be gracious towards Alvin,” Boy read the statement of the pastor.
“He noted that most Christians, especially in the early stages of their faith can be overly passionate and excited about sharing their beliefs. Pero eventually daw they grow as Christians,” the statement ended.

Earlier this month, Alvin’s interviews went viral on social media for some of the remarks he made. One of the comments he made was directed towards Sunshine Garcia and her husband, Vice Governor Alex Castro.
“Sinasabi nila buti pa yung asawa ni Sunshine, Vice Governor, pinayagan sila mag concert. Dapat nga hindi eh. Dapat nga yung asawa mo, ingatan mo. Hindi mo hahayaan magsuot ng mga damit na para pagnasahan ng mga lalaki,” Alvin previously said in an interview.
Alvin has also pushed his belief that his stepdaughter, Sofia Trazona will be thrown in “hell” if she continues to do “homosexuality.” Sofia is the transgender child of Izzy Trazona with her former partner, Michael Navarro.
“God will throw you to hell if you continue to do homosexuality, mamuhay ka, and you don't want to believe in Jesus? I assure you that God will throw you to hell if you don't stop, if you don’t repent, and believe in the gospel,” he previously shared.
Various celebrities have since responded to the statements made by Alvin.
