Bituin laging biktima ng cyber bullying dahil sa pagiging ‘plus size’

FOR Bituin Escalante, hindi dapat pinapalagpas ang mga body-shamers.

“I do call it out when someone says it. It’s not what you said. It’s your intent. I don’t let people get with it either na parang no, I’m okay.

“I really call it out. ‘What do you mean by that?’ You can’t let it go. You have to point it out,” say niya sa presscon ng “The Big Big Show” slated for Dec. 3 at The Theatre in Solaire from Fullhouse Asia Production Studios. Kasama ni Bituin sina Frenchie Dy and Radha sa nasabing show.

“This is the reason why we were so insistent on having big in the title (of the show). It can’t be avoided.

“If you see the three of us doing a show together, you wonder, ‘is that the reason why they’re together? Because they’re all big?’ Why, yeah, that’s true.

“But ask any singer, they want to be a big part of this. Sorry, laki kami, eh. Nandoon na ‘yun, eh. Pero you have to call it out. We call out bullying, no matter what’s it’s about, whether it’s a disability, hair loss, color, call it out. Don’t let it go,” she added.
