- Whether they went under the knife for some cosmetic surgery or they had a dramatic weight loss and muscle gain.
Some Filipinos usually feel uncomfortable in talking about cosmetic and/or plastic surgery. Moreover, surgical enhancements can never be a bad thing.
As long as the person who chose to do it feel happy and content in his or her own skin.
Then, there are others who just transformed dramatically that many would have had to pick up their jaws from the ground. If you really think about it, they all look good! Because – people look their greatest when they look and feel comfortable and happy.
