Hurray for Dabiana!
I just finished watching “Maalaala Mo Kaya? (Do You Remember?)” on ABS-CBN and in tonight’s episode, they featured the life of Cecile Inigo who’s better known as Dabyana. I didn’t know much about the famous actress known for her big size. All I knew is that she was a fodder for fat jokes. After watching the episode, I realized her life was so colorful and rich. She was gutsy and went after her dreams, she was courted by an Italian count, and eventually found her true love in her own homeland. Most of all, she was never ashamed of her size even if she was often ridiculed. I have to commend ABS-CBN for featuring such a story especially during these times when Philippine media makes fun of fat people. Dabyana should serve as a role model for overweight Filipinos.
wow. hero ko nga talaga si dabyana. didn’t get to see the episode, pero kinwento sa akin ni mama. an italian count! sana si prince william saskin. haha! i’m a BIG girl myself, or so they say big, para mas maganda pakinggan. hahaha hay life. there’s always the pressure of getting thin!
Oo nga eh. It’s only a matter kung magpapadala tayo sa pressure or hindi.
