KAKAI Bautista had enough of body-shaming comments from netizens.
The actress-comedienne recently took to social media to address her body-shamers, stressing that they should just mind their own business.
“I have come across so many body-shamers these past few days! And I just wanna say that… I do believe that food is very much essential in our lives. I love to eat. And… pak all that toxic Filipino culture that says chubby is not sexy and healthy. Black, brown, morena, kayumanggi is not beautiful,” she said in an Instagram post.
She went on: “REAL TALK. Ang dami kong kilala payat na maysaket. And it’s not good. I will never be happy with that. And dami ko ding kaibigan na morena na haaaaay ang solid ng gandaaaa.”
“We can never appreciate other people’s beauty if we don’t appreciate ours. SORRY kung ikakalungkot ng iba na mahal na mahal ko ang sarili ko. And I am enjoying every bit of what I am now and every second of my life,” she added.
Addressing her body-shamers, Kakai said: “Iksi ng buhay, ‘wag mong pakialaman ang buhay ng iba. Pakialam mo ‘yung sa ‘yo. Gawin mong maganda, masaya at kapaki-pakinabang!”
Just recently, Kakai also answered netizens who have been telling her how to lose weight, saying, “I know how my body works and I know what to do.”
In her caption, the 42-year-old actress stressed that she works out for health and happiness, and not for the approval of other people.(Push)
