Bakit ka pa nag-gagaganyan?’ or something like that.”</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0Y0IsyPYtv/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A460627.6000000015%2C%22ls%22%3A460302.700000003%2C%22le%22%3A460306.8999999985%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="882" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>“I can’t remember the words pero parang ‘yun ‘yung context ng comment. Siguro iba ‘yung beliefs niya and you know, ‘pag social media naman talaga or anywhere in general, talagang may opinions ang mga tao. And siyempre, everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, di ba?” she said.  </p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/12/4/look-jessy-mendiola-daughter-isabella-rose-celebrate-birthdays-1437"><strong>READ: Jessy Mendiola, daughter Isabella Rose celebrate birthdays<br/></strong></a></div><p>“Pero may mga times din na you have to speak up for yourself. So ang sabi ko, ‘So ‘pag mommy na ‘ko, hindi na ba ako pwedeng maging sexy or maging masaya sa sarili ko? Or you know, to settle on something that really makes me feel confident, di ba?’” the 31-year-old celebrity continued.    </p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0YvNzzvfR4/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A460652%2C%22ls%22%3A460302.700000003%2C%22le%22%3A460306.8999999985%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="882" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>“So ‘yun lang. Sabi ko ‘’pag mommy ba, dapat ba may isang look lang tayo?’ I mean, di ba, sabi ko kanina, aaminin ko, kahit mommy na ako, may mga times naman na gusto ko rin maging maganda. Like today, nag-ayos ako para sa inyo. So talaga may seasons tayo in life, and nagkataon ‘nung birthday shoot na ‘yun, parang I want to celebrate me; you know, giving myself time to feel beautiful and confident in my own body so kaya ako nagpost ng ganu’n.”</p><p>To conclude, Jessy encouraged fellow mothers to do what makes them happy. “Ang sinasabi ko lang naman, gawin niyo lang kung saan kayo masaya,” she said.</p>
