That led me to a bad time in my life. I failed a lot of classes in my earlier years. There was a time where I was already thin but I couldn&#x27;t stop from losing weight,” she revealed to her fellow girl housemates, recalling how being made fun of affected her performance at school.“Then college, when I came here (to the Philippines), they were like, ‘You’re so pretty, but you’re so chubby’. They kept telling me na ‘Stop eating na na. You&#x27;re blocking the door. You&#x27;re so big. Stop eating na.’” It was so bad that she wrote down the criticism she received on a notebook and read them whenever she wanted to eat.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/01/09/22/pbb-raf-juane-opens-up-about-coming-out-as-trans-woman">PBB: Raf Juane opens up about coming out as a transgender woman</a></li></ul>But Daghlas said she has learned to shrug off the bullies now. “But now I&#x27;m stronger, that&#x27;s why I&#x27;m happy. I don&#x27;t care if they call me chubby na. I don&#x27;t want to blame myself for how I was built,” she said. “PBB” airs new episodes daily and can be accessed via Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z, iWantTFC, and TFC, with 24/7 live-streaming via Kumu.
