Sue Ramirez had a few things to say to reporters after they asked her to comment on what she feels about being accused of “flaunting” her body too much online.

“Iyon na nga ‘yung sinasabi ko (That’s what I’m talking about), please don’t sexualize my body because I don’t do that to myself,” she said.
But when a reporter explained that it was, in fact, Sue who “sexualized” her own body because of her posts, Sue quickly returned the remark with: “I don’t.”
She added: “The fact that I’m putting it out there [means] I’m not sexualizing. Gusto kong masanay ‘yung mga tao, buksan nila ‘yung mga mata nila na kapag nakakita sila ng naka-two-piece [ay] hindi siya bastos at hindi siya dapat bastusin (I want people to get used to it, to open their eyes to the truth that when they see someone in a two-piece, it isn’t sexual and shouldn’t be sexualized).”
In response to the claim that a photo of her allegedly in “lingerie” is making rounds online, Sue said that she never took such a photo. “I don’t think I have ever put anything out there na naka-bra’t panty. But if ever I do, then so what?”
“Sana po ‘pag nakita niyo ‘yung mga pictures, [matandaan po ninyo na] hindi po ito bastos. Sana ay buksan natin ‘yung mga isip natin (I hope when you see the pictures, you remember that they aren’t intended to be sexual. I hope we all stay openminded),” she continued.
