#SelfLove: 5 Filipina celebrities confidently celebrating their bodies as they age


Gone are the days when women become "losyang" and lose their confidence as they age. 

Especially in the pandemic, more and more women have begun to celebrate themselves and their bodies as they hit age 40 and above.

Here are five Filipina celebrities showing us that growing older is both a gift and a privilege.

1. Ina Raymundo

The woman who not only made us see the growing trend, but made us love it.

On her 47th birthday, Ina posted an empowering message along with photos of her in a two-piece bikini. 

"Be kind, be strong, be you," Ina wrote on Instagram.

2. Jackie Forster

On Jackie Forster's 42nd birthday, she showed her followers how to enjoy wearing a two-piece bikini, even after giving birth to five children.

"I'm secure enough with myself that even with all my stretch marks and cellulite at 42 with [five] children to still dare to wear bikinis!" she wrote, as she posted a carefree photo of herself lounging on a board out on sea. Beautiful, we tell you!

3. Geneva Cruz

Geneva Cruz celebrated her 44th birthday in the Philippines after spending six years in the US, and she commemorated her age by posting a blooming photo of herself at 44.

Clad in a yellow two-piece swimsuit, Geneva flaunted her curves and honored her ever-changing body confidently.

Since then, she's been using her platform to promote body positivity, reminding women it's OK to celebrate themselves.

4. Sharon Cuneta

We love how Sharon Cuneta turned super confident at age 55. On her birthday birthday last year, the Megastar posted photos of herself in her bikini and unapologetically celebrated herself from all angles, curves and all. We mean, just look at her contagious sweet, sweet smile!
