Kapamilya star Angel Locsin has broken her silence on the issue that she was allegedly body-shamed in a learning module of the Department of Education recently.
"I intended to ignore this issue, but when I read DepEd’s statement, aba teka lang," said Locsin on Instagram Nov. 15.
This is how Locsin initially reacted to the mistake of the Schools Division of Occidental Mindoro which poorly-constructed the learning module.
A photo of the module went viral catching the attention of the public, including the supporters of Angel.
It read: “SITUATION. Angel Locsin is an obese person. She, together with Coco Martin, eats fatty and sweet food in MANG INASAL fast food restaurant most of the time. In her house, she is always watching television and does not have any physical activities."
Angel, 35, defended herself from the issue as she highlighted the importance of teachers who value good manners and right conduct.
Locsin's full post:
"I don’t mind the insults. Cheap comments do not define who I am.
"I intended to ignore this issue, but when I read deped’s statement, aba teka lang.
"What bothers me most is apart from teaching incorrect grammar to the students, DepEd seems unaffected that the said teacher is teaching bad conduct and sowing discrimination among the children. Anong mangyayare sa future kung ang mga kabataan ay tinuturuan ng pambabastos at pangungutya sa kapwa?
"This is the more relevant issue DepEd, that you should be held accountable and must correct. Sa inyo naka salalay ang pag asa ng ating milyon milyong kabataan.
"The said teacher should apologize to his students and all the students that read the module.
"I am fortunate that I had teachers who value good manners and right conduct. Every child deserves to have teachers like them," said Locsin.
