Kapamilya celebrity Chie Filomeno fired back at a netizen who questioned her view on body enhancement.
A netizen has questioned Filemono’s view about cosmetic surgery, saying, “Women empowerment ba yan?? Ineencourage nyo mga kababaihan na magparetoke buong mukha kesa embrace yung natural na ganda ng pinay lol.”
In a TikTok video published on May 3, Filomeno responded to the basher, noting there’s nothing wrong with cosmetic surgery if it boosts one’s confidence and self-esteem.
“Una po sa lahat wala po tayong ineencourage, at wala po akong sinasabi or wala po tayong sinasabi na ito ang tamang gawin, eto dapat ang gawin at saka wala naman pong masama sa pagpaparetoke, sa pageenhance sa kung anong meron ka.
“Kung sa tingin mo ito ang magpapasaya sa’yo, magbibigay ng confidence sa’yo, why not do it. Wala ka namang natatapakang tao, wala kang nasasaktang tao.”
@chiefilomeno Replying to @D♡ you’re making it seem like it’s a crime…
The Kapamilya star then lashed out against the basher, saying, “At isa pa pera mo ba ang gamit ko sa pagpaparetoke ko? Diba hindi? Pero kung oo, sige bayaran kita.”
Filomeno then reiterated that there’s nothing wrong with going through body enhancements if it makes the person happy. What’s wrong is degrading those who enhance their looks as if they have committed a crime.
“Tanda-tanda na po natin, alam na po natin kung ano ang tama sa mali. at yang ginagawa mo yan yung mali. parang dinedegrade mo lahat ng taong nagparetoke. parang ang sama sama naming tao, for like doing something that will make us happy nang wala kaming tinatapakan na tao.
“I’m not saying that this is the right thing to do pero sana mas lawakan pa natin yung understanding sa topic na to.”
In 2019, Filomeno admitted in an episode of Tonight with Boy Abunda that she had undergone plastic surgery to enhance her nose.
