Borres/YouTube</span></span></span></div><p>&quot;At the end of the day, this is what I do.&quot;</p><p>Actress Bea Borres made this statement after receiving backlash for her <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i80pUiS6a6g">recent vlog</a>, where she gave her honest review of food stalls at Fusion Alley in Sampaloc, Manila.</p><p>Her candid remarks, particularly in the first part of her vlog where she said &quot;I don&#x27;t like it&quot; in front of a food vendor, got the ire of some netizens.</p><p>Addressing the issue in a Facebook post during the Holy Week break, Borres reiterated that she has always shared her real experiences, whether positive or negative, in her videos.</p><p>&quot;Now I&#x27;m getting bashed because people are saying I called the food &#x27;not masarap&#x27; in front of the vendor. From the start of the video, I already said I&#x27;d give my honest rating, whether it&#x27;s masarap or not. And honestly, I just didn&#x27;t like it,&quot; she said. </p><p>&quot;I get where some of you are coming from, and maybe I could have delivered it more gently,&quot; she continued. &quot;But at the end of the day, this is what I do, I share my real experience. Not everything will always be positive.&quot;</p><p>&quot;I think that&#x27;s also the reason why I got known, because I share not just the good but also the bad,&quot; said the actress, who boasts of 1 million YouTube subscribers and 3.1 million Facebook followers. </p><div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fbeaaborres%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0UQXxJ9uP2NNsUEoLa6yyYLSJZURhw2hDydMtgkPzhWeHHn1KCKae5bfngJ2TBbNpl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="825" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Borres also reacted to the statement released by Fusion Alley, which pointed out that she &quot;did not acknowledge or coordinate with the management before taking videos in the area.&quot;</p><p>&quot;We believe it is important to extend basic courtesy, especially since many small businesses and vendors work very hard behind the scenes,&quot; it said in a Facebook post, which has since been taken down. </p><p>In response, Borres said: &quot;It&#x27;s a public space, I didn&#x27;t know there&#x27;s an admin office there. And your point is what?&quot;</p><p>She added that she will not go back there anymore as she called out the food park for &quot;riding on the hate.&quot;</p><div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fbeaaborres%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0rp2Tiw8mXsf7mmywF53va5kz1ZDzne7GaanqRYCvPHYCPP9PF7Z9Mrmqm7vHkL2Yl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="609" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>In another Facebook post, Borres reminded the public that her vlog about Fusion Alley is not all negative as she gave her thumbs up to several food stalls.</p><p>&quot;Ito masarap talaga,&quot; she said, sharing a video of a vendor that thanked her for trying their sisig.</p><p>The content creator also directed the public to one of her older vlogs, a food tour in Quiapo, as she shut down criticisms that she is a &quot;rich kid&quot; who is not used to street eats. </p><p>&quot;As a kid, I grew up eating street food, so don&#x27;t tell me not to expect too much just because you think I&#x27;m not used to &#x27;mumurahing&#x27; food,&quot; she said.</p>
