On June 13, actress Matet De Leon clapped back at netizens who bashed her last December for her fit body.
At the story conference for Unspoken Letters at the Limbaga 77 Cafe Restaurant in Quezon City, De Leon highlighted her healthy figure as a response to her bashers.
“Ang payat ko nga eh, thank you to the netizens who bashed me last December. I’m so sexy now.”
In December 2022, netizens aggressively commented on De Leon on social media after airing her grievances with her adoptive mother, Nora Aunor. They accused her of seemingly railroading her gourmet “tuyo” business. Recently, De Leon announced that the “tuyo” war is over between her and her adoptive mother.
Aside from her remark, De Leon appreciated her manager, Tyrone Escalante, for getting more non-mainstream roles.
“Alam mo natutuwa nga po ako kasi dahil dito sa manager kong si Tyrone, eh nagkakaroon na ako talaga ng mga proyekto na hindi puro– mainstream, hindi na ganon. Kumbaga may mga dumadating na projects na ganito, nag-iindie na rin ako. Kumbaga di ba?
“Habang nakaka-age tayong ganyan, naisho-showcase natin finally, ‘yung ating mga talento, hindi na lang puro pa-cute. And we age gracefully.”
She then talked about her role in the upcoming Utmost Creatives production.
“Ang role ko dito ay parang–asawa ako ng kapatid niya. Ate niya ko, tapos mahadera po ako, ako ‘yung di ko siya bet. Parang nakukulitan ako sa kaniya.”
De Leon also highlighted working on films that topped Netflix’s list.
“Ang last movie ko po na ginawa ha, ‘yung kay Belle Mariano, ‘yung Inconvenient Love na nag-number one din sa Netflix–iba talaga ako. Ang sunod po ay Missed Connections na number one din sa Netflix.”
