All the effort put into this would go to waste if we don\u2019t learn to be more conscious of the damage we humans cause on a daily basis. Let\u2019s try to minimize that, not just here, but everywhere we go. (Photo<\/a>: @Coleen<\/a>\/Instagram<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Actress Coleen Garcia clarifies her perspective in response to a public comment on her social media account that claims contradiction on her stance on President Rodrigo Duterte.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the rehabilitation of the island of Boracay, Coleen shares a photo on Instagram of herself enjoying the newly-clean paradise. In her caption, she says, \u201cFalling in love with Boracay all over again! Walked from station three to station one to see what has changed so far. I love that the island is noticeably cleaner, and you can walk around and all over the sand without being afraid of stepping on broken glass.\u201d She adds, \u201cCongratulations and well done to those who helped clean up Boracay! I already can\u2019t wait to come back!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After receiving 250,000 likes on the post as of writing, one commenter by the name of Reginald Melchor responds in Filipino, \u201cBefore you were mad at Duterte, thank him now because if it wasn\u2019t for him, you wouldn\u2019t fall in love with Boracay again,\u201d referring to the Chief Executive being responsible for the tourist spot\u2019s cleanup. Garcia was quick to defend herself, declaring in Filipino, \u201cHow can you say that I am angry at him? Yes, there are some things that I have questioned and disagreed with, but there are also many things I am grateful for.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

She continues to stand up for herself talking about respect, \u201cI neither hate nor completely adore, but I do respect. And I hope you respect my opinions too.\u201d In applause to the President, Coleen says, \u201cI do commend him for what he has done for Boracay. It\u2019s important to have leaders that care about our environment because sadly not everyone does.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Coleen has expressed her opinions about the president numerous times, initially stating her reaction to the State of the Nation Address (SONA) saying that she has \u201cso much love and respect\u201d for the \u201cwonderful leader,\u201d but after expressing her dismay on the police raids at Ozamis City in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
