Andrea Brillantes doesn't give a hoot about body-shaming comments. These days, the detractors are nitpicking her slender arms, which she partly attributes to Barbie Arms—a non-invasive procedure designed to eliminate persistent fat in the upper arms, resulting in a more scultped look.
Andrea Brillantes Responds to Netizens Bashing Her Arms
"Yung mga sinasabi nila na OA, it’s because I lost almost 20 pounds," she clarifies. "Lumiit na siya because of what I did with Belo, but I also lost a lot of weight." When faced with a barrage of criticisms about her body, the actress says that being at peace with how she views herself is what ultimately matters.
She continues, "Sa mga nagko-comment about my arms? I really don't care. It’s actually crazy, for me, that other people think that they have the authority or the right or that their opinion matters to me, their opinion about my body."
"Everything that I do for my body is for me kasi pagka gising ko, ang nakikita ko sa salamin, sarili ko. Hindi naman [yung bashers] di ba?"
Thanks to her self-assuredness, Andrea is not bothered at all by people who think her arms are disproportionate to the rest of her body. "Gets ko yung mga sinasabi nila na medyo hindi proportionate or whatever. Well, I can't control if God blessed me with blessings," she playfully adds, while adjusting her tube dress.
"I'm a bit small. I'm 4'11" so gets ko sinasabi nila, pero wala akong magagawa kundi I just have to own it." As a confident young woman, she proudly expresses: "So alangan naman papatanggal ko siya dahil lang sa comment sa akin ng mga tao? No!"
"Tatanggapin ko lang kung anong meron ako, and I'm really happy sa katawan ko."
