Isabelle Duterte Reacts to Critics on Her Viral Photoshoot
Addressing critics, Isabelle tweeted that she hopes to be spared from "hateful" comments.
"I hope you do something useful with the freedom you are given, other than making hateful comments and carry so much unnecessary weight on your shoulders. I hope you will find the maturity to focus on more alerting issues and not on a 17 year old girl, Try to be useful," Isabelle’s tweet read.
This comment of Isabelle prompted some netizens to remember other 17-year-old victims killed in the conduct of his grandfather’s narcotics crackdown. Some netizens listed down names of those killed in the drug war including Senior High School student Kian delos Santos.
Netizens also described Isabelle’s pre-debut shoot as "Imeldific" and likened her red gown as a symbolism to the bloody drug war.
The shoot also gave birth to a Facebook page called "Malacañang Events and Catering Services" after Isabelle said she requested to have a photoshoot at the Malacañan Palace. She claimed anyone could also book the Palace, the country's seat of power, for a shoot and tour for free.
