Rufa Mae Quinto after retrieving Instagram account: “I found a silver lining amid my ordeal”

“I made a lot of realizations when my page was stolen. I found a silver lining (yes I am quoting you our Miss Universe @catriona_gray) amid my ordeal. For an artist like me, Instagram is such a big platform to inspire, influence and spread happiness to my fans. Hence, I realized that I should take more measures to protect it and secure it in order to prevent something like this to happen again.
Most of my photos were deleted by the hacker so I decided to start all over. I will be archiving and removing what remains of my old photos and start anew. Hope you will join me as I begin again.
Thank you very much everyone. I am so happy to be back! This is Rufa Mae Quinto-Magallanes, Philippines! Now signing in! #Gogogo #thesilverlining

It is never too late to start a new BEGINNING. 2019 started off weirdly for me. I woke up on the first day of the year to the news that my Instagram account was hacked. I was shocked when I figured that someone stole my page! I didn't know what to do. For someone like me who is not techy, I quite panicked knowing that the hacker might do something bad using my page and I was clueless on how to retrieve it! More than anything, I was scared that the hacker would harm my family and friends using the power of technology. Thankfully, God sent His angels to help me retrieve my page. A big thank you to Ms. Betchay Vidanes @betchayvidanes and her whole team for helping me get back my Instagram page. I am very grateful as well to the people behind @instagram for working hand in hand with us for my account to be returned. Also, I would like to thank my family and friends for all the advice and suggestions you gave me when I was still solving my social media predicament. I love you all!
