Bela Padilla, Maris Racal clap back at basher after calling them 'liberated'

Paolo Lim

<div> </div><p>It&#x27;s not every day that Bela Padilla and Maris Racal speak up to defend themselves from bashers. But when they do, we know it&#x27;s savage AF. </p><p>Twitter user @bataman1422 posted a series of tweets accusing Bela Padilla and Maris Racal as &quot;liberated&quot; persons in a negative context - as often used in Filipino culture. </p><p>“<em>Kakasama mo kay Bela mukhang nagiging liberated ka na rin ha. Sana naman tutal mas matanda siya sa’yo, sana i-guide ka sa tama hindi ‘yung sa mali?</em>”</p><p>Comparing Maris Racal to her best friend Loisa Andalio who are both alums of Pinoy Big Brother, the basher stressed out how Loisa managed to stay the same through the years. </p><p>&quot;<em>Buti pa si loisa hindi nagbabago ganon pa rin sya kung ano sa pbb. yon pagbabago ni losa for the better</em>.&quot;</p><p>But Maris, on her part, did not at all like how her best friend was dragged down into the issue. </p><p>“<em>Stop comparing. People have differences. It’s just that I was invited to an event where showing some skin is required. So I did. Wearing less does not make you less of a person</em>,” she replied. </p><p>Meanwhile, Bela did not mince her words to the basher whose account was made private after fans rallied behind her and Maris. </p><p>Addressing her tweet to the netizen who criticized her and Maris, Bela wrote: &quot;<em>the next time you’re brave enough to bash someone and call them names, make your account public and put your real name up there. The same way you dragged my full name into this NON issue</em>.&quot; </p><div> </div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p dir="ltr" lang="en"><a href="https://twitter.com/bataman1422?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@bataman1422</a> and on those nights off, Ive only seen Maris once. FYI...she asks me what I’m doing, not the other way around. And the last time we were together was to work out. Let the people you love grow. You dont know who can be beneficial to them. 😊</p>— Bela Padilla (@padillabela) <a href="https://twitter.com/padillabela/status/1007415743443374080?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 15, 2018</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script><div> </div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p dir="ltr" lang="en"><a href="https://twitter.com/bataman1422?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@bataman1422</a> and the next time you’re brave enough to bash someone and call them names, make your account public and put your real name up there.

There’s a whole world outside, not just the dark one festering away in your head.</p>— Bela Padilla (@padillabela) <a href="https://twitter.com/padillabela/status/1007421046037700608?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 15, 2018</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script>
