Pangasinan mayor hits back at ‘body-shamers,’ calls critics ‘inggiterang frogs’

FORMER “Pinoy Big Brother” housemate and now Bayambang, Pangasinan Mayor Niña Jose fired back at online commenters who mocked her appearance, calling them “inggiterang frogs” in a Facebook post.

Jose said she had gained weight after giving birth five months ago and was surprised by the volume of comments questioning her looks.

“Haha I GAINED weight because I just gave birth 5 months ago, that’s what happened. Because a lot of comments are saying what happened? I just gave birth,” she wrote.

She also addressed remarks about her complexion. “Next why is my face so white? I don’t know, I don’t wear makeup I wear sunblock and my skincare,” she said, adding that some comments “make me LOL so hard.”

Jose said she is working on losing her postpartum weight but is not rushing the process. “No I’m not.. I’m trying my best to lose postpartum weight but I am not rushing it because so many things happened to me and I choose to heal first before anything :).”

Jose also criticized the culture of online bullying. “People can really be cruel and when something happens to the people they bully they say sorry be kind blah blah blah ha hypocritical of you,” she wrote.

According to her, many of the harshest comments come from anonymous or “ghost” accounts. “I have no idea where these people get their energy to be able to waste time typing comments as if they are perfect haha fix your life first before you judge others inggiterang frogs,” she added.
