Nagpahayag ng kanyang suporta si Ynez Veneracion sa kapwa aktres at kaibigan na si Sylvia Sanchez.
Ito ay sa gitna ng kontrobersiyang kinasasangkutan ngayon ni Sylvia at ng kanyang pamilya, partikular na ang panganay na anak nito — ang aktor at Quezon City First District congressman na si Arjo Atayde.
Idinawit ng mag-asawang contractors na sina Curlee at Sarah Discaya si Arjo bilang isa sa mga kongresistang tumanggap umano ng porsyento mula sa flood control projects na nakuha ng mga pag-aari nilang kompanya mula sa Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
Kaugnay nito, inungkat ng ilang netizens ang videos at mga larawan ng pamilya Atayde na nagpapakita umano ng kanilang marangyang pamumuhay.
Kabilang na rito ang kanilang magagarang bagay, ang paggamit ng helicopter, ang madalas na pagbiyahe ni Arjo at ng asawa nitong si Maine Mendoza sa iba’t ibang bansa, at ang diumano’y pagkakaroon nila ng bahay sa France.
Naungkat din muli ang video ng interview ni Korina Sanchez kay Sylvia kung saan ipinapakita ng aktres ang ipinapagawang mansyon.

YNEZ VENERACION: THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION
Sa kanyang Facebook account ngayong Huwebes, September 11, 2025, ibinahagi ni Ynez Veneracion kung paano sila naging malapit na magkaibigan ni Sylvia.
Noong una raw, ang akala niya ay "untouchable, someone with a strong presence and high social status" si Sylvia. Pero nagkamali raw siya.
Lahad ni Ynez: "I’ve known Ate Sylvia Sanchez since 2016. While I don’t know the full extent of her wealth, one thing is certain she’s successful because of her hard work and dedication.
"Over the years, we’ve become close friends, and she even became the godmother of my child. At first, I thought she was untouchable, someone with a strong presence and high social status.
"But I was wrong. As I got to know her better, I discovered the real her."
Nakita rin daw niya ang mga ari-arian ng pamilya ng aktres na naipundar nito sa pagpupursigi sa buhay.
Higit sa lahat, nasaksihan daw ni Ynez ang pagiging makatao ni Sylvia, kung paano nito itrato ang mga nakapaligid sa kanya.
"I’ve seen her properties, yacht, rest houses, and the life she’s built all achieved not through shortcuts, but through persistence and effort.
"What touched me most is how she treats people with HUMILITY, RESPECT and LOVE! She has a golden heart. Her love for her friends is truly genuine and unconditional."

ALL THESE BEFORE THEY ENTERED POLITICS
Ayon kay Ynez, nakakaluwag-luwag na ang pamilya ni Sylvia bago pa man pasukin ni Arjo ang pulitika noong 2022.
Kaya nalungkot daw siya sa masasamang salitang ibinabato rito gayong ang intensiyon lamang daw ni Arjo ay magsilbi sa constituents nito sa Quezon City First District.
Saad pa ni Ynez: "All of these experiences happened before they even entered POLITICS.
"When I learned that Cong. Arjo planned to run for Congress, I saw his intentions as pure to help others and give back the blessings they earned through hard work.
"It saddens me that many people judge without understanding the truth, hurling harsh words and accusations without consideration.
"However, I believe that the truth will eventually come to light. Those trying to tarnish the Atayde family’s reputation with lies and inconsistencies should be held accountable.
"They are the real thieves stealing not only from the people but also from the truth."

YNEZ TO SYLVIA: "We stand with you through this storm."
Sa huli, isang madamdaming mensahe ang ibinahagi ni Ynez para kay Sylvia: nasa likod lamang daw sila sa unos na kinakaharap nito.
"To Ate Sylvia, Jojo Campo Atayde stay strong. We know the truth, and we believe in you. We stand with you through this storm. This too shall pass. We see this as just another trial your family must face.
"As we always say, politics can be a dirty game. Even when your only goal is to help, there will always be those who try to pull you down, especially when they see you doing your best.
"We’re praying for you and your family, Ate. This will pass. We love you, and may God bless you always."
