Ina Raymundo celebrated her birthday by sharing unfiltered photos of her body, shedding light on a variety of women about body positivity
Cultural and social pressures are tough on our bodies, especially for women. Fat is stigmatized, toned muscles mean healthy, and skin should be flawless. These cultural messages start to seep into our minds and pollute our perceptions, which may result in a punishing standard that perpetuates the feeling of failure and contempt. This wrongful mindset brought by society was refuted by award-winning Filipino actress Ina Raymundo who openly shared unfiltered pictures of her body, empowering her true identity and inner physical strength as a 47-year-old woman.
The actress’ confidence in displaying her perfectly imperfect figure on Instagram has transcended inspiration to her fellow women that instead of looking at social media as a place of posture, filtered, and edited life, we can use it to celebrate life truthfully. So, for her birthday post this year, the Cinemalaya Best Actress awardee chose to spark body positivity and inclusivity by sharing her physique with a caption, “Be kind, be strong, be you.”
Based on past reports, Ina Raymundo may have been declared one of the sexiest celebrities in the local entertainment scene. Still, even she had a fair share of struggles with accepting her flaws before having a changed perspective.
While the actress doesn’t consider her body perfect, her embarking on a healthier journey through physical activities is the cause of her confidence. Ina Raymundo’s Instagram feed proves that she is never shy to share the changes of her body as she ages.
In the comments, friends and supporters of the actress sent their greetings and praises on her 47th year, looking young and feeling good—all on her terms. People also sent out messages, saying they admire the mom of five, and treat her as their life peg as she has been looking beautiful ever since.
