Kapamilya actress Angel Locsin has no time for her body-shaming bashers as she posted a recent photo of herself on Instagram.
Wearing a black blouse, black slacks, and a face mask, the photo was taken while she was on fieldwork for her show, Iba Yan, a docu-reality show which features life stories of inspiring Filipinos directed by her fiance, Neil Arce.
The show premiered on Sunday, June 14, on the Kapamilya Channel.
In her Instagram post last Thursday, June 25, the actress seemed slimmer than the ones that went viral last week.
Despite all the harsh comments and criticisms, the 35-year-old actress proudly showed off her new physique.
Recent photos showing her curvier figure and obvious weight gain are currently making rounds on social media.

It can be recalled that a certain Frederick Viaje uploaded photos of the ‘The General’s Daughter’ star on Facebook about a week ago which really surprised many netizens. The viral photos were taken at Mauban, Quezon during her taping for the docu-reality show.
Wearing a dark green shirt, pants, and a black backpack, it can’t be denied that the actress really has gained weight.

It seems like her sudden change of figure surprised many netizens.
Aside from her talent in acting, Locsin rose to popularity for her sexy body as she was hailed twice as Sexiest Woman in the World by men’s magazine FHM Philippines, in 2005 and 2010. Aside from this, she also starred as ‘Darna’ in the iconic drama series of the same title on GMA Network in 2005.
Some netizens openly criticized Locsin’s new physique and posted body-shaming comments on several social media sites.
Even before, the award-winning actress has been facing criticisms because of her voluptuous body frame.
@143redangel @JaninaElaine kailangan na ni Angel ng doktor for lipo di na yan madadaan sa exercise. Yung face niya yung mataba eh.

Ang babaw ng mga pumupuri kay angel locsin for not attending the ball. She skipped the ball because she is too fat to dressed up. She's not confident to wear gown. I like her but she's pa-humble/pabibo and cant be real sometimes.

However, her fans and avid supporters were quick to defend the actress by saying that she might have looked ‘healthier,’ it doesn’t change the fact that she’s truly an angel with a pure heart who never stops nor ask for something in return in helping others in need.

For me, @143redangel has nothing to prove. Hailed as the sexiest woman by 3 different magazines. Tapos na sya dyan mga ate. Walang masama sa pagiging mataba, as long as healthy ka pa rin. Katawan lang nagbago, mabuti pa rin ang puso. Real-life Darna! ❤️ #Notobodyshaming https://t.co/MOt1AqYFsw

Meanwhile, a netizen claimed that her weight gain is because of the spinal injury she sustained in 2015.
The hardcore training of the actress created a disk bulge in her spine. Because of this, she can no longer perform rigorous stunts.
Isa pa rin sya na matuturing na darna.. all i know may injury sya sa back na advice ng doc ay stop doing stunts or intensive training kase makakaaffect sa health nya.. siguro nahihirapan sya or tumigil mag exercise dahil sa back injury kaya tumaba sya pero that's fine
