Sue Ramirez has been in front of the spotlight since she was 13 years old, back when she first tried her luck at the Star Magic auditions in 2010. Having been in the industry for more than a decade, the actress has definitely mastered the art of being unapologetically unbothered when it comes to dealing with bashers online.
Clad in gorgeous swimsuits for hot girl summer, Sue talked about it openly for her Cosmopolitan Philippines cover.

Over the years, Sue has been on the receiving end of body-shaming and objectifying remarks, but in her Cosmo.ph cover story, the actress reveals how she's become a pro at handling such comments.
“Whenever I give clapbacks, it’s all just for fun. I usually find these comments funny, that’s why I respond,” she explains. “Sometimes people will get out of line and I just can’t help but respond, but in the most kalog way that I can. We can put them in their place without being rude or bastos. The goal is to not be like them, guys!”
At the end of the day, Sue knows her worth and embraces every part of herself, thanks to her solid support system. "I was brought up to embrace and love my imperfections. I know that when I come home to my family I am loved, and that's the only validation I need,” she adds.
The actress believes that there’s still time to fix this toxic culture though, and it all starts with ourselves.
"In order to fix toxic habits, we have to break toxic cultures. Let's show our children kindness. Let us change the unreasonable standards of how we define beauty. Let's show them how to love and accept themselves, in order for them to do the same for others. The next generation is our only hope for a safer and more inclusive community,” she says.
"We already know how cruel this world can be and sadly right now, the only thing we can do is walk away from uncomfortable environments. Please know that you are beautiful, you are not what other people say you are. Look in the mirror and tell yourself ‘I love you’ —and please, always keep in mind that not everything we see on social media is real.” Word!
