Isabelle Daza slammed for using #SiquiWhores hashtag

Actress Isabelle Daza has drawn mixed reactions from netizens over an Instagram post she made during her trip to Siquijor over the weekend. The ‘Nathaniel’ mainstay posted a photo with her cousin Martine Cajucom on Instagram last Saturday with the caption: “We’re here to insta! Lol #siquiWhores #dumagetiton.

The hashtag ‘siquiWhores’ is an appafrent play on the words Siquijor, an island province in the Visayas and whore which means prostitute.

Daza received a lot of flak and was bashed by Netizens for the said post which could be taken out of context to describe the people of the province. Fans of the actress defended her saying it was not her intention ‘to malign the people of Siquijor.’

Siquijor Vice Governor and singer Dingdong Avanzado, in a statement posted on his Instagram, asked Daza to clarify her intentions.

“It has come to my attention that the Instagram account @isabelledaza, which appears to be owned by actress Isabelle Diaz Daza, has posted a travel photo with the hashtag #siquiWhores.

“Before jumping into conclusions, I would like to hear directly from Ms. Daza whether the offensive term #siquiWhores is a description of herself and her companion or a judgment to my beloved people of Siquijor.

“As the vice-governor of the province, I am worried on how such a foul and offensive word would damage the reputation of the Siquijodnons in the long-run.

“I believe every citizen of Siquijor deserves a clarification from Ms. Daza on the matter.#siquijor”
