Jessy Mendiola did not hold back in responding to a netizen who made an unkind comment about her daughter Rosie’s appearance. The netizen compared Rosie’s eyebags to that of an 80-year-old, which prompted Mendiola to defend her child on social media.
Social Media Response
Mendiola shared a photo of herself with Rosie on her Facebook page, which drew a comment from a netizen expressing curiosity about the child’s facial features. The netizen remarked, “Grabe, bakit ganyan yang bata? Wala pang two years old pero ang eyebags pang-80 years old na.”
In response, Mendiola highlighted her daughter’s heritage and criticized the netizen’s rude comment. “Nasa lahi namin na may eyebags talaga kasi half Lebanese. Kalmahan ang paglait sa bata,” she replied. “Iayon po natin ang ganda sa panlalait. Tingnan niyo po muna sarili niyo sa salamin.”
Family Background
Jessy Mendiola and actor-TV host Luis Manzano are Rosie’s parents. The couple first tied the knot in a civil wedding in 2021 and welcomed Rosie in December 2022. Two years later, they had a church wedding in Palawan in February.
Future Aspirations for Rosie
In a previous interview, Mendiola mentioned that she would support Rosie if she chose to enter show business in the future. “Kung saan siya masaya—if she’s not comfortable being in front of a lot of people, it’s okay. If she is, then good,” Mendiola stated. “For me, kung saan siya masaya, I will support her. Hindi na rin stranger ang family namin sa showbiz and politics.”
