Enrique Gil and Liza Soberano’s Japan Photo

It was not the first time the actor received hate online for a picture. The same report talked about an incident back in Japan with his loveteam partner, Liza Soberano. The two went to Japan as the newest tourism ambassadors of the Philippines. They received hate comments when a picture surfaced on social media of the two kissing inside a bus in Japan.

People interpreted the photo as the two engaging in overt public displays of affection (PDA). Gil later clarified that the picture was taken during the morning and the two just saw each other so they greeted each other with a morning kiss. He emphasized that it was not even on the lips.

The picture was taken at a different angle that it may appear the two are locking lips in a public transport.

Gil adds that social media is now part of everyone’s lives, it’s hard to escape and there’s nothing one can do. Altered posts, edited captions, and the wrong photo can be seen as true to people. This fact hurts the actor even when he tries to brush it off.
