In the caption of her post, Pia began saying, "Im sure a lot of you know that my family is going through some issues at the moment and most of it is posted online."

Im sure a lot of you know that my family is going through some issues at the moment and most of it is posted online. This is a very hurtful time for our family. My sister, especially, had a very traumatic experience and I humbly ask everyone to be kind to her. We are trying to resolve our family issues privately and I ask for your support by not trying to put the blame on anyone and stop victim shaming. Please be mindful on your posts and comments to Sarah, mabigat ang pinagdadaanan niya ngayon. Bilang anak at kapatid, napakasakit sa akin na makitang nagkakaganito ang mga taong mahal ko. Hiling ko na lang po sa inyo na isama nyo kami sa inyong mga dasal at sana mahanap na rin ng aming pamilya ang nararapat na healing. Sa panahon na ito, magpakita po tayo ng pagmamalasakit at pagmamahal sa isa't isa. Maraming salamat po.

As they worked on their family issues privately, Pia asked for support "by not trying to put the blame on anyone and stop victim shaming."

She specifically asked netizens to be kind to her sister Sarah as "mabigat ang pinagdadaanan niya ngayon."

"Bilang anak at kapatid, napakasakit sa akin na makitang nagkakaganito ang mga taong mahal ko," she added.

Pia said her only wish is for the public to include her family in their prayers.

"Hiling ko na lang po sa inyo na isama nyo kami sa inyong mga dasal at sana mahanap na rin ng aming pamilya ang nararapat na healing," she said.

"Sa panahon na ito, magpakita po tayo ng pagmamalasakit at pagmamahal sa isa't isa. Maraming salamat po," she ended her note.

Last October, Pia's sister Sarah vented out her frustrations towards the beauty queen and their mother in a series of Instagram Stories on social media.

After she revealed that she had rekindled with Pia, she revealed in another set of Instagram posts that she was raped and that her mom told her she deserved it.

Last Saturday, their mother Cheryl Alonzo Tyndall posted a video on her YouTube channel speaking up on the issues surrounding their family as she denied allegations made by Sarah.
