Jessy Mendiola recently posted a photo of herself lounging in a blue bikini with the caption "Wish you were here."
Boyfriend Luis Manzano commented "Who po? ;)" to which Jessy responded "Who do you think?"
Netizens were quick to like the couple's comments and considered it a sweet and playful display of affection on social media.
But bashers zeroed in on Jessy's photo, commenting on how she keeps on showing skin on her IG. User @changwook6 commented
"Ateng, wala ka nang ginawa kundi maghubad, hinay-hinay lang, nakakasawa na."
Jessy quickly responded: "Unfollow ka na lang, madali lang yun!!!" accompanied by three kiss emojis.
Other bashers also posted comments that have since been deleted, but they were mostly targeted towards Jessy's "revealing" photos. (Jessy responded with the same invitation to unfollow her, and even wished them a happy day. We could not, however, access the deleted comments anymore.)
Most netizens were quick to point out Jessy's simple but sassy response, and admired her for her positivity and for maintaining a light-hearted attitude towards bashers.
Some netizens appreciated Jessy for inspiring them to love their own bodies despite their flaws, as Jessy has always been vocal about her body image struggles and accepting parts of her that aren't perfect.
She is most particular about her thighs, which she previously referred to as "thunder thighs" and even using the hashtags "patagirl" and "pataislife" on her IG post.
