Kapamilya Actress Angel Locsin finally addressed bashers who are criticizing her for gaining weight.
In her interview with the YouTube program, Over A Glass Or Two, Locsin shared her reaction, noting how she does not let her figure define her.
“Hindi ako nagsalita kasi parang, anong sasabihin ko? ‘Yun ang opinion nila sa sarili ko eh. Totoo naman, mataba naman talaga ako. Pero hindi naman masusukat doon kung sino ako. Mabuti nang chubby kaysa ugly.”
Locsin also added that she is still happy with herself.
“Kung hindi kayo natutuwa sa sarili ko, well, I’m sorry to hear that. But natutuwa pa naman ako sa sarili ko and I know ang kaya kong ibigay sa table.”
She then shared an empowering message of self-love, expressing her gratitude for her body and all that it achieved throughout her career.
“I cannot control how other people think. Pero hindi nun sukatan kung mababawasan ang pagmamahal ko sa sarili ko.
“Buti na lang mahal ko ang sarili ko at nirerespeto ko ang sarili ko. Kasi alam ko ang katawan na ito ay maraming pinagdaanan. Maraming na-achieve din naman.
“At marami pa akong ma-achieve, kung wala ang katawan na ito, wala si Angel Locsin. I’m just really grateful and tanggap ko I’m a working progress.”
Locsin’s photo during the pandemic went viral when netizens her physical change. She has been a target of body shamers and bashers on social media, poking fun at her weight gain.
However, Locsin remained unfazed and focused on philanthropy and her charity work.
