Actress Alessandra de Rossi reacted to fellow actress Jennylyn Mercado’s comments about common innuendos from Filipinos during gatherings.
Firstly, Jennylyn noted that Filipinos often comment on other people’s weight during gatherings.
“Yung pag nagkikita kayo sa gathering, biglang magcocomment sa itsura mo. ‘Uy tumaba ka’ o ‘Payat mo na,'” said Jennylyn via Twitter.

Then, Alessandra replied that the comment she usually receives is about her improving looks noting that people may have criticized her before about her physical appearance.
She then added that she’s glad that she wasn’t aware of this, as it may have affected her self-esteem.
“Ako yung ‘uy gumaganda ka’, So chaka pala ako kahapon. Buti di ako na inform. Baka masira self-esteem ko!” said Alessandra via Twitter.

Jennylyn is popular for her outspoken Twitter posts about current events and societal issues in the country.
Alessandra, on the other hand, is notable for her sharp-witted comments on Twitter that often poke fun at the government, current issues, and trolls. She recently poked fun at her Twitter trolls and the Manila Bay rehabilitation project.
