Locsin replied that the bully’s message made her smile, and apologized too if she did anything in the past that the bully did not like.
“At some point in our lives, we’ve all been bullied, and we’ve all been bullies,” the actress said about their conversation.
“So, if you have the chance to apologize to someone you’ve hurt, take it,” she advised her fans, should they be in a similar situation. “And if someone asks for your forgiveness, give it to them. In either case, if your efforts are sincere, you’ll never regret it.”
