Clad in a red bikini, this photo on Instagram was Jessy Mendiola's last hurrah for summer.
It instantly became a hot conversation starter online.
Fans flooded her feed with flattering comments about her sexy figure.
Then, on May 20, her screen partner JC De Vera posted a photo of him and Jessy, where she looked "voluptuous."
Some followers commented, "Taba sya?" "Ay sorry, hindi sexy."
One even accused Jessy of editing the swimsuit photo she posted on her Instagram account.
This prompted the Kapamilya actress to post another bikini photo which was also taken in Boracay.
It was accompanied by a long caption about body-shaming comments.
She began, "My body may not be perfect but that will not stop me from being confident with myself.
"I've had my fair share of body shaming comments.
"So I know how it feels like to be called 'FAT' or 'TUMABA.'
"Well, just to inform some of you 'PERFECT' people. We all come in different sizes and shapes but that shouldn't stop us from being happy with our own bodies."
And no matter what kind of body type you have, the most important thing is you're comfortable about it.
She resumed, "It just shows that you are a human being. So whether you are curvy, malaman, skinny, too skinny, on the plus size or even on the plus plus size, you have ALL the right to be confident with yourself because that is who and what YOU are."
Upon posting, fans commended the 23-year-old star for her take-no-bull spunk.
