“HINDI lahat ng naka-bikini ay pakawala!” Yan ang bwelta ng singer-actress na si Geneva Cruz sa isang netizen na nang-okray sa bago niyang bikini photo sa social media.
Muling ibinandera ni Geneva sa publiko ang kanyang mga litrato na nakasuot ng bikini na kuha sa Jpark Island Resort & Waterpark sa Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.
Ipinost niya ito sa Facebook at nilagyan ng makabuluhang mensahe tungkol sa body positivity. Ipinaalala niya sa lahat na huwag basta paniwalaan ang lahat ng nababasa o nakikita sa social media.
“Don’t be fooled by what you all see on social media. No mommy who has given birth has perfect skin or body while pregnant and after giving birth,” simulang pahayag ni Geneva.
“My stomach, thighs, and abdomen are not as tight as it used to be, but it is stronger and more beautiful because of what it has been through.
“The #tigerstripes, #looseskin, #lineanegra, and #cellulite go hand-in-hand with pregnancy, but I wouldn’t be who I am today if not for those warrior marks.
“This is why moms in all shapes and sizes should support, not bash one another because we all fought the same fights while carrying our most precious gifts from God: our children,” pagpapatuloy pa niya.
Agad namang inunahan ni Geneva ang lahat ng mga mamba-bash sa kanyang mga bikini photos, “People should stop looking at bodies as just representations of sex and being dirty; look at it on a deeper scale.
“I love and respect my body not only because I’m happy with mine, but because of its strength and uniqueness.
“And to those other women (most especially men) who make fun of women whose bodies have drastically changed because of pregnancy… shame on you.
“All of you are just a bunch of bullies. A woman needs only to be herself to be acceptable and lovable.
“A woman does not need to buy a thing to improve or change their irreplaceable, beautiful selves.
“Our scars, rolls, bones, pigmentations, big or small breasts, stretch marks, and wrinkles all tell a story—our own, unique stories.
“When everyone goes to sleep, we are stuck with ourselves. Let’s learn to love ourselves fully and deeply. #Godspeed,” lahad ng OPM artist at celebrity mom.
Maraming natanggap na positive comments si Geneva mula sa mga netizens pero as expected, meron pa ring mga nangnega sa kanya tulad na lang ng isang lalaking tumawag sa kanya ng “laos” at “pakawala”.
Hindi naman ito pinalampas ng aktres at talagang sinupalapal at binasag niya ang basher nang bonggang-bongga.
“If you are going to be super mean and mayabang on my social media accounts, it is my right to expose you. I’m not afraid of any one of you.
“If you are respectful and mabait you will be treated the same way by me. This is my page, if you are irritated with my posts, you may unfollow. Thanks everyone! Love and Light,” sabi ng singer.
Dagdag pa niyang paalala sa lahat ng haters, “I want everyone to know that we have the right not to be bullied because no one deserves that.
“NOBODY DESERVES TO BE BELITTLED BY PEOPLE who feel badly about themselves that they have to also drag us down with them by insulting us.
“Do not just get hurt and cry; I’m not saying hurt them back; stand your ground and remember WHO YOU ARE.
“Just because celebrities kami at public property may right ang ibang tao na maliitin kami. Hindi lahat ng naka bikini ay pakawala.”
“Ignorante na pangit pa ang ugali. Lalaki pa naman,” banat pa ng dating member ng OPM group na Smokey Mountain sa basher.
