She said it left a bad taste in her.   </p><p>“Ok lang maturn off ka sakin kasi ako naman naturn off sayo. Bakit naman hindi sila pwede magexist eh nakakatawa nga mga post nila at nakakatuwa na balikan ang mga nakaraan. If [it is] about 3rd gender, grabe ka naman. Kailangan mamatay basta hindi pumasok [sa] two genders mo, ganun ba? MU tayo. Turned off din ako sayo,” Rica responded.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/rica-peralejo-1.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/5/10/rica-peralejo-shares-what-moms-really-want-for-mother-s-day-442" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>READ: Rica Peralejo shares what moms really want for Mother’s Day</u></strong></a></div><p>The Instagram user responded to Rica by asking her to read the bible again and understand where they were coming from. </p><p>The former Kapamilya star did not hold back, telling the user to read it as well.</p><p>“Okay I respect your opinion. Sana lang basahin niyo ulit ang bible, walang nag eexist na 3rd gender sa bible. Baka lang nakakalimutan niyo po. Salamat,” ohmyjelie answered.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/rica-peralejo-2.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>“Basahin mo din ulit to read truth AND love. No one is forcing you to believe what should or should be not, but canceling? It’s not one of the Lord’s traits. Only humans do this, unfortunately. No wonder people don’t like our faith. They don’t want our Jesus cause akala nila Jesus is like us (sic),” Rica wrote.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/rica-peralejo-3.jpg" style="width:600px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>The Instagram user hasn&#x27;t responded to Rica’s answer yet but has been entertaining the answers of several other netizens on the same thread.</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>
