To celebrate the end of the year, singer Moira Dela Torre was invited to the Marikina Sports Center to perform in front of more than 70,000 fans last Sunday, December 30. However, despite her successful performance, Moira was still overshadowed by an audience member who felt the need to body-shame her during the performance, to which the 25-year-old responded to.<\/span><\/p>\n

A few days after the incident, the \u201cMalaya\u201d hitmaker posted on Twitter, \u201cT<\/span>o the rude kuya<\/em> shouting, \u2018Ang taba mo, laki mo,<\/em> Moira, panget, taba <\/em>(guy shouting, ‘You are fat, you are big, Moira, ugly, fatty)\u2019 while I was performing last night, I was so tempted to look at you and give you a piece of my mind. But I didn\u2019t want anyone feeling how you made me feel. Even you.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

She states, \u201cWomen are beautiful whatever size and may I be the last person you disrespect like that. May you learn to love yourself enough that you won’t need to bring people down just to feel \u2018funny\u2019 or important. If you\u2019re reading this, I hope next year showers you love. Happy new year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In a separate post, Moira reminded her fans that they are \u201cbeautiful and not alone,\u201d telling them, \u201cIt\u2019s a daily battle to get up and remind [ourselves] that [we] are beautiful. Sometimes, we feel brave. Sometimes, the lies are louder. Nonetheless, we need to know we aren\u2019t alone to be able to keep going.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

This was a similar statement she shared last December, revealing that the soon-to-be bride had been \u201cstressing over [her] weight with the wedding coming\u201d but concluding, \u201cSmelling the lies trying to come in and countering them. Reminding me over and over that it’s okay! That my worth and beauty will never be defined by my weight and that we’ll get to our goal eventually.\u201d In her words, \u201cAlways full of love, always full of hope.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Moira continued on to say in her most recent post that she is looking forward to the upcoming year. Last year alone was a big year for the performer, as she received the award for \u2018Favorite Mellow Video\u2019 during the MYX Music Awards and \u2018Best Female Recording Artist\u2019 during the Awit Awards. In April, Moira also got engaged to boyfriend and fellow musician Jason Marvin.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
