Let your selfie be a statement
A word from our sponsor:
According to a study commissioned by the personal care brand Dove, only 7% of Filipinas find themselves beautiful.
All together: WHAT! Given the levels of pagmamaganda we encounter on a daily—no, hourly—basis, and the national obsession with beauty pageants, we thought the Filipina’s self-image was invincible. Apparently not. (Turns out that when people say “Ang ganda mo/Ang ganda ko”, they are being ironic.)
Dove wants to turn things around with its #IAmBeautiful Movement. To join the movement, round up your friends and take photos of yourselves holding up a sign that says #IAmBeautiful. Post these photos on your Facebook/Twitter/IG, and they will be reposted by the #IAmBeautiful Movement.
Wait, we asked, many of our readers are gay, are they included in this? Yes, of course! And don’t just post it, believe it.
