After photos of Angel Locsin showing her new weight went viral on social media, fans rushed to defend her against body shamers.
The actress, who has been commended for her philanthropist activities, was seen in a Facebook post of netizen Frederick Viaje donning dark green shirt, pants, and a black backpack.
Some people have criticized her new weight and made body-shaming comments about Locsin, but a huge number of netizens quickly and passionately came to her defense, saying that her body does not define her beauty and good heart.
Locsin’s new weight was also caused by an injury following an intense training that created a disk bulge in her spine. Due to this injury, the actress can no longer do extreme stunts.
